He's probably making business decisions With Staley & Sorensen running the show, I can't say I blame him Kyle has lost the locker room, that's what this season is. Losing a super bowl on a walk off TD has decimated the morale of this team
We suck matt… i knew this season was over after we lost the super bowl last year… its too much to bounce back from. This wra of the 9ers is cooked! Right on time for thanksgiving!
What's also interesting is that we were cooked the last time we played the Bills on Primetime in 2020. I hope we bounce back next year but right now it looks grim.
Could be worse when they play Detroit too. But at least that is here and it could be a wet track to slow them down a bit. Might only lose by 20 instead of 35-40.
Bingo! The 49er team "leaders" routinely hold out for more Millions $$ while still under contract. They get PAID just like the fan base wants. Now you have team "leaders" that sleep in silk sheets.
Agreed. I would also like to see Kyle Shanahan have someone that he is more accountable to next year. He shouldn't be given as much control of the team as he has been so far. Going forward that should allow him to better concentrate on coaching and developing players and less on the draft/personnel, for example.
I’ve been a fan for over 65 years. All I can say is stop whining! Even Bill Walsh had a 3-13 season. The disappointment is deep for all of us fans. It’s hard to compete if you have two future HOF players not playing, not to mention the starting QB that really is the player that makes happen on offense. I think starting Brandon Allen instead Dobbs was a bit puzzling to me. But I’m not at practices. It’s hard to compete against a really good team, with a chip on its shoulder, when you don’t have your best players on the field. So, take a deep breath I don’t think the window is narrowing on this team. Having said that, we absolutely need to have a real look at some of Kyle’s staff though!
He stunk too brother. No coordinator would save this defense with the injuries they have had. They got annihilated after greenlaw went out in the super bowl
Well, the 49ers (5-6) will continue to slide downhill in light speed if no changes or adjustments are made properly before entering the slaughterhouse on this Sunday in Buffalo, NY. The Niners defense has zero depth with backups after all those defensive starters are nursing their injuries on the bench. This Sunday game vs the mighty Bills is really hard to watch as we all expect the Niners to lose again. A vote of no confidence on the 49ers defense, period.
Anyone wanting Ulbrich is nuts. This wide 9. Seattle zone with fangio concepts sucks. We don't have the DL to run it. It took Dee Ford one year and career years from Aden Key and Charles Omenhiu to run it effectively out of 8 years. The quick passing offenses get the ball out before the ends get there. That's why we are always a step behind. Now we don't have the DTs or LBs to stop the run in Wide 9. We have Bosa, Warner and Demo and a bunch of 3rd stringers. We need a DC that can manufacture pressure with exotic blitzes and get more outta lesser talen. Offense is a gonna be what it is as long as Kyle is here. Bad OL and aging stars. Until he takes OL seriously. This is what we got. Top offense that is annoyingly inept at crucial times costing us Games and SBs. Special teams is a joke. Unreal how that guy has a job
Good call on Jeff Ulbrich Matt, he was one of my favorites in the 2000s. One of the few bright spots in those lean years. Good defensive coach, and a Bay Area guy is a bonus for sure
You don't draft kickers. This isn't rocket science. We've spent two high draft picks on two bums that are at the bottom of the league in their relevant stats. Both Moody and Wishnowski suck out loud.
Solomon Thomas, Reuben Foster, Mike McGlinchy, Nick Bosa (no brainier), Javon Kinlaw, Brandon Aiyuk (no brainier), traded 3 firsts for Trade Lance, and Ricky Pearsall. You honestly trust these guys with a first round pick? Seven disastrous busts, two highly drafted good players, and a rookie with a handful of catches who the jury is still out on. I'm not holding my breath.
There is no excuse for the 8th highest paid roster *despite having a qb on a rookie contract) to be 5-6 and to look like they have looked. Completely unacceptable. I'm also tired of hearing about the defense and Sorensen, yes, the defense is bad, yes it looks like Sorensen is bad BUT Kyle is an "offensive genius" great nfl mind, revolutionary etc etc and his offense has way too many games under 24 points. Does anyone realize how many 3 and outs we have watched this year?
They have looked generally off since the first game of the season. Even the first game against the jets they didn’t look right. And, the rams and cards games just looked so sloppy.
Shanahan's coaching was bad in last years super bowl and hasn't improved since then....the play calling sucks, the defense is weak beans and special teams? They're "special" alright.
Sad to see the Niners fall so far so fast. Expectations were high and the latest draft has turned out well overall. Fortunately for the Niners they have better brains than mine to sort out the mess.
Special teams has been bad from week 1. A lot of small mistakes that are about coaching. Even a returner running into a blocker and fumbling is about coaching. Fred has been going for the peanut punch to get fumbles instead of focusing on tackles. It was great early on in the season but recently it's just leading to more rushing yards for the other team.
Warner never makes tackles like Willis. When Warner tackles the player gains yardage. When Willis tackles, the player went down. Not falling forward. But straight down. Warner is nothing next to elite Willis.
We also need to clean house in the training and conditioning dept. Our guys were not physically ready to start the season, and we have the injuries to prove it. The whole point of conditioning is to prevent injuries. WE ARE FAILING, CATASTROPHICALLY, AT THIS BASIC THING. Whatever new-age moo poo they are doing, ditch it.
They need 3 new coordinators. Why Ulbrich? Defense got worse with the NYJ after Saleh was out. What evidence is there that Ulbich is the guy? They need someone from the Spags, Flores, Schwartz tree of defense. The guys that completely dominate "genius" Kyle. When you can't beat them, hire them and practice against them and LEARN something new. Get rid of the archaic wide-9. Also get a OC, Kyle's offense is increasingly looking like it is past its sell-by date.
Ulbrich wasn't going to be the answer. His defense has stunk it up once Robert Saleh got fired. I'm sure he'll be available to the 49ers this coming off season, but the 49ers just got old on defense and worn down on offense. Time for the retool at a lot of positions. And Purdy's arm issues could be a big concern going forward.
Purdy and Kittle are the only bright spots on the team this year. DC and STC have to go. They're abhorrent. The Oline is trash except Puni. None of the rest should be here next year. The Dline is Nick Bosa and nobody else.
They don't have the capital to rebuild. They are stuck with what they have for now. The only thing that they can do that would change things is bring in a proven head coach.
I think shanahan need massive help on offense and defensive coordinators He also needs to lose final say on personnel. I think that would make him quit though!
We were in the S/B last year right? Got short term memory loss?Coaching staff must have forgot how to coach since last season.Yup.Gotta be the coaching all right.
@@SEEKUP4EVER This is because the niners are old and broken. They need a reset with personnel and coaching. At very least a new DC and Special teams coach. There are plenty of other teams with injuries that are not declining weekly like the niners. When they are 5-12 keep telling yourself it’s because of the injuries.
You can draw a straight line from how missed tackles a defense has, and how terrible the offense plays. More time on the field leads to more tired defensive players leads to more missed tackles.
I think Kyle needs to play Mason more. CMC is just not seeing it this season. Play Deebo less too. These players need to know that their poor game performance is not acceptable.
As soon as fans stop purchasing gear and going to the stadium. The cowboys are one of those teams that are stupid enough to cheer for their team even when the owner and coaching sucks. Niners are turning into that and it won’t be good. Fans will be content with winning seasons and never ask for the Super Bowl.
I hope the beer at Canyon Club brewery is good 😂. Sometimes you just have to admit things aren’t going your way. Maybe the players are burnt out a bit after the last 4 years performance. I find it disturbing the KS thinks special teams can’t win you games when we’ve seen so many games turn on momentum swings provided by special teams and that’s a problem for me. We need to start seeing some continuity at defensive coach level otherwise you don’t build on anything. I’ll come back to the offensive line and still think it needs beefing up for next year. Sometimes you need to ram the ball down peoples throats. The Rams gave up 37 points to the Eagles this week. Does that make them a bad team. This is where leadership comes in and instilling confidence in the players. Let’s see what happens for the rest of the year.
It's about money or else Shanahan would be gone sad the organization has come to contracts and not what's best for the team new head coach period!!@Morabito and Debartalo
Everyone is calling KS an idiot, a bad coach, he should be fired, etc. Take a beat and consider the following list of injuries this year and ask yourself, are we really being fair about this? Would any coach be able to win with this plethora of injuries? Ambry Thomas, CB Brandon Aiyuk, WR Brock Purdy, QB Charvarius, Ward, CB Christian McCaffery, RB Curtis Robinson, LB Deebo Samuel, WR Drake Jackson, DE Dre Greenlaw, LB Elijah Mitchell, RB George Kittle, TE Jake Moody, K Javon Hargrave, DL Jon Feliciano, OL Jordan Mason, RB Kevin Givens, DT Matt Wright, K Mitch Wisnowsky, P Nick Bosa, DE Talanoa Hufanga, SS Trent Williams, LG
I said it even when they were successful..It’s amazing they’re this good after drafting so horrible draft after draft..Looks like it caught up with them…They’ve been drafting roof tiles and the house ain’t even built ..Pearsall in the first?A kicker in the third?How many damn 3rd round picks have they wasted on useless RBs that just ride the bench?Theyve missed on 8 of the last 10 first round picks
Great recap of a terrible defensive effort. Agree 100% Sorenson is gone, and changes are needed now, not next year. NFC West is up for grabs and 9 and 8 could win the Division.
I just don't get it, lets blame everyone else mentality. Who picked the Defensive and Special teams coordinators? Who decided to play a QB who has a splint on his hand (2 fumbles)? Who decided not to play Mason after one cary (16 yard carry by the way)? Who can't scheme his wide receivers open when teams are playing man and not zone defense? The finger points to Coach Kyle! That's where the changes need to start, by replacing Kyle. It's time for a change, the NFL has caught up with Kyle and this defensive scheme blows....
This s the time when we know who the Faithfull are, and who are the posers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FAITHFULL FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE STILL & WILL ALWAYS BE 5 TIME SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn. I knew it was going to be difficult to bounce back that SB loss. But to throw in the towel now? I keep seeing and hearing fans talking about “let’s just start focusing on next year”. I know we’re in a tough spot and we have tough opponents coming up but we’re ONE game behind in our division. Keep fighting! We’re the 49ers, not some low end franchise. Keep fighting, see where we get to and Address all the issues in the offseason. Just sad to hear all this talk about next year when technically we’re still in it.
Paying the wrong players, losing three first round picks, they have a mess. Can Purdy carry a team ? This will be the make-break decision for the next 4 seasons.
Thank you for your honest opinion and not keep trying to make excuses for the team, they suck and I think it started with the hold outs just look at the results compared to last year when they had a hold out that year and started out bad, I blame the owner and coaches for not making players play out their contracts.
Excellent analysis Matt. Sorensen is unqualified, Schneider fails to coach the ST AT ALL, Chris Forester has become complacent tolerating terrible play by Banks & Brendel. Dee Winters is superior to DFF but won’t be given the snaps. We should activate Fellciano at center, but we won’t. Maybe things will become bad enough that our really good rookies will get some real playing time. Kyle, John Jed would like to see you in his office…
Honestly, we have injuries everybody knows that, but was anyone expecting cowboys to beat washington? our HC refuses to be creative when it gets him out of his ways? what has Kyle Shanahan won so far in his career, are we in the market for a coach that, when he has a dream team gets to the superbowl but loses?
1. Bring Saleh back/ use a 6 man front - gotta hang our hats on something. 2. Change the whole ST's unit & fire their coach. 3. Start Dobbs, win the division 4. Use 2 TE's sets; Run Guerrendo & Mason, rest cmc for the year 5. More touches for Ricky, Jauan, George & Conley My Monday morning qb 2 cents 😉
Yo Maiocco ! Long time listener of the insight. Just wanted to share something with You cause I know you care unlike the many other content creators. No one talks about the depth and the talent level behind the key players. When 2 or 3 guys on either side of the ball are unavailable how does it always become this massive dropoff with no balance. Happy medium in the football realm to me means balancing out roster, 52 solid professionals with chemistry. Relying on 10 to 12 guys could work but those guys need to be on the next level, we got those guys but health obviously becomes the issue, now what's next ? Who's next ? It's a Madden rating of 95 then drop off to 65 when the main guy isn't there. Just simplifying my thought but that's what I'm seeing. We got coaching, We got front office, We're paying the Main players but missing the crucial support that solidifies a "Championship Roster". Do We have those guys ? In certain positions most definitely but once a guy shows up it becomes " Do more of that and do it now ! " That's where his support becomes lost and the movement on field gets sloppy and appears worse than what it really is. I've worked a lot of bad jobs, been around a lot of careless people and this situation now with the Niners is totally relatable. There's so much more apparent issue but that's for another conversation. Depth, Depth and more Depth is the main issue on the player side. Coaching is solid, but learn how to take a punch better. Shanahan captains this ship, calm seas have passed the voyage ahead is gonna be rough if the boat is only equipped for a third of the journey. But Yo, if You read this far You're the Man !!! 👉🤛 Just an outrageous thought, Run Em 4niNe
The 49ers have many of the highest-priced players at their respective positions. It does not have to be this way, but generally when that's the case, there is a bigger drop-off when a team has to call on their backups.
No it’s not that time. The reason being is that it’s still * this season*, and this season we’re one game back of the division lead. It’s dismal to be sure, but it’s not over.
When all 3 facets of the team keep underperforming despite having a core of veterans like this team has, the problem IS THE HEAD COACH! If it was just the Defense, ok HC Kyle picked the wrong guy. If it's just the Special Teams then that's on HC Kyle for not being able to fix it for YEARS now. But when the worst performers of all are the Offense, then that's the OC & HC Kyle that are failing the most. When you can't even get a team full of vets to try to scratch & claw enough to keep the game respectable and they just rollover & showed their bellies, you've lost this team. You can't fire them all, then maybe you maybe fire the HC that's failed to get better the 7 years he's been here.
Come om. The Niners threw away 3 1st round picks and a 3rd. Talk bad coaching all day long but at the end of the day you have to have guys who can play.
Wow even you are giving up on them. I know it's unlikely but they still could mathematically get into the playoffs. Yes, even if they do I know may be likely they go one and done. I guess I just hope they find some of their mojo at the end.
Yeah, I agree. That game yesterday had so much more to do with who was under center for us than anything else. At least 14 points were scored on Allen's turnovers, and even though we lost by 28, 14 point swings can quickly multiply into 21+ points when the momentum is against you, especially against good teams on the road. Do we still have big issues on run defense.. absolutely, but if Brock can come back and stay healthy the rest of the way, the 49ers have a fighting chance in every game. Seems way too early and too much pride in that locker room to just completely throw in the towel, especially with 17 games instead of 16
Draft well and rethink the offensive theory. Niners had the luxury of dynamic play makers to get them in the SB the those two seasons. Not saying the current roster is a bust either and we are having this conversation while the starting QB is out.
My gut tells me kyle is burnt out and ready to bail after running up the salary cap and the team aging out. I hope its not the case and if it is then they should trade him. Hes under contract you cant just let him bail for nothing in return.
Hire a good DC, and put a No-Interview clause in the contract. I am so sick of watching our talent walk out the door. If you sign here, you coach HERE, "Until you're dead, or we find someone better." We talk about what happens to QB's when they go though multiple HC's and OC's (Bears, anyone), BUT four DC's in four years is just as detrimental.
FINALLY! Deebo will be gone for next year. Sit CMC as he is clearly who he was last year! Sit Dre Greenlaw and let him recover for next year. Start Joshua Dobbs and give Tanner Mordecai some game time for experience! Run Guerrendo more for experience and Mason as well. Bad defensive coaching, poor coaching by Kyle as he bears most of the responsibility! One more year for Kyle and see where he goes. Rebuild the O line and D line ! Oh yeah, the special teams is a disaster! Niners will either be at year end 8-9, or 9-8 and maybe a chance for the playoffs should Seattle and Arizona faulter. And that’s a big maybe!
all the coach's failed !!! no o-line recievers cant get open we still need a good kicker moodys lost enough games for us already too many injuries for the 43ers to compete !!! this year sucks we should keep purdy out before he really gets hurt with the no protection o-line we currently have !!!
Kyle's actions challenge my intelligence and makes me feel like there's something else going on with this team. I'm starting to think the head coach and certain players are benefitting financially from not playing good and more importantly not coaching good. The whispers are starting to make sense now and I'll be sitting on my wallet from here on out.
Total waste of this roaster without a Vet QB !!! Either pay Brock or get a vet ! Do not draft another QB ! Kyle’s dad wouldn’t have won a SB without Elway ! That’s the truth !
No focus on the O & D lines! It all starts with the line! Fire Jed York! I believe he interjects his opinion way too much, and is not a football mind!!
A team can only ignore the O-Line for so long. They can't do anything in the trenches and the opposing DC all know it. No team in the league expects to develop a young QB behind such a neglected O-Line.
Jim Schwartz would be a good replacement for Nick Sorenson if the Browns go ahead and fire Kevin Stefanski. As far as the special teams the team might have to turn to the college level, namely South Carolina and steal one of Shane Beamers guys from his coaching staff.
@ nah I doubt if he comes back to San Francisco. I don’t know why everyone thinks the 49ers will be his first choice, when he can go to an up and coming team like the Commanders.
@@michaelslaughter54 I don’t know where your arrogance is coming from because this team showed signs of attrition as early as last year, but they fought their way to a Super Bowl. This year they can’t shake that liver shot. Their legs are wobbly.
Jed CHANGES NOT TO INCREASE Season Tickets PRICE this year because they fail to make the playoffs . He wil make CHANGES and FIRE THE HEAD COACH iwhen PLAYOFFS MONEY STOP COMING 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Liked # 276 👍
Should've asked Warner who was to blame for 21 missed tackles.
I didn't see the coaches missing tackles and getting stupid penalties.
He's probably making business decisions
With Staley & Sorensen running the show, I can't say I blame him
Kyle has lost the locker room, that's what this season is. Losing a super bowl on a walk off TD has decimated the morale of this team
We suck matt… i knew this season was over after we lost the super bowl last year… its too much to bounce back from. This wra of the 9ers is cooked! Right on time for thanksgiving!
Playing the Bills next week may be even more embarrassing than this past one.
I agree, it's going to be laughably bad.
What's also interesting is that we were cooked the last time we played the Bills on Primetime in 2020. I hope we bounce back next year but right now it looks grim.
Could be worse when they play Detroit too. But at least that is here and it could be a wet track to slow them down a bit. Might only lose by 20 instead of 35-40.
We get Purdy back for the bills I think we got a solid chance
@@BeefSupreme52 Nah. Too many injuries.
Never seen so many players holding out,seems like one each year and then they get hurt or not up to normal level of play, really hurts the team.
Bingo!
The 49er team "leaders" routinely hold out for more Millions $$ while still under contract. They get PAID just like the fan base wants. Now you have team "leaders" that sleep in silk sheets.
They had a chance to make Sorensen the DC last year and there’s a reason they didn’t…
yeah hes got to go
Yeah now we are hearing they wanted the Jets DC? He sucks too.
Steve Wilkes is somewhere laughing his Ass off
@@ceinsureman that is an incredible amount of laughing.
Greenlaw injuries really hurt the 49ers defense...
Shit he's rolling
Steve Wilkes has been a disaster everywhere he has coached, just look at his track record. !5 minutes of research can be very revealing.
This looks a LOT like Wilke's defense. Everything is the same.
Agreed. I would also like to see Kyle Shanahan have someone that he is more accountable to next year. He shouldn't be given as much control of the team as he has been so far.

@zig6933 You not wrong but maybe I put more on CMC because he was OPOY last year. O Line is really bad too but Mason seems to be finding holes.
@@zig6933 Mason was a top 5 rusher behind this same oline. Just saying.
@ all good, I agree with you that he should get carries. We Niner fans we share misery together. lol
And Guerrendo. And he needs to get Pearsall involved they need an insurgence of youth. Cut out Deebo and the young guys
What would be needed for Jed York start to consider replace Shanahan? 2 bad seasons like that in a row? Maybe 3?
Jed is not a football guy, rich parents gave him a job to watch over the team. When the team starts loosing money, heads will roll.
As soon as fans stop purchasing gear and going to the stadium. The cowboys are one of those teams that are stupid enough to cheer for their team even when the owner and coaching sucks. Niners are turning into that and it won’t be good. Fans will be content with winning seasons and never ask for the Super Bowl.
I hope the beer at Canyon Club brewery is good 😂.
Sometimes you just have to admit things aren’t going your way. Maybe the players are burnt out a bit after the last 4 years performance.
I find it disturbing the KS thinks special teams can’t win you games when we’ve seen so many games turn on momentum swings provided by special teams and that’s a problem for me.
We need to start seeing some continuity at defensive coach level otherwise you don’t build on anything.
I’ll come back to the offensive line and still think it needs beefing up for next year. Sometimes you need to ram the ball down peoples throats.
The Rams gave up 37 points to the Eagles this week. Does that make them a bad team. This is where leadership comes in and instilling confidence in the players. Let’s see what happens for the rest of the year.
I have a guarantee, the 49ers will end the season with a top 5 draft pick!
Shut it down before someone gets really hurt. Time to evaluate 2nd and 3rd string.
I EXPECT Warner to lead the team in missed tackles. It is so obvious. HIS discipline is NOT good enough as a team captain.
We better hire the best special teams coach in football this off season, I don't care how much we have to pay him.
GO HAWKS!!!
It's about money or else Shanahan would be gone sad the organization has come to contracts and not what's best for the team new head coach period!!@Morabito and Debartalo
Matt, great analysis as usual. Thank you.
Everyone is calling KS an idiot, a bad coach, he should be fired, etc. Take a beat and consider the following list of injuries this year and ask yourself, are we really being fair about this? Would any coach be able to win with this plethora of injuries?
Ambry Thomas, CB
Brandon Aiyuk, WR
Brock Purdy, QB
Charvarius, Ward, CB
Christian McCaffery, RB
Curtis Robinson, LB
Deebo Samuel, WR
Drake Jackson, DE
Dre Greenlaw, LB
Elijah Mitchell, RB
George Kittle, TE
Jake Moody, K
Javon Hargrave, DL
Jon Feliciano, OL
Jordan Mason, RB
Kevin Givens, DT
Matt Wright, K
Mitch Wisnowsky, P
Nick Bosa, DE
Talanoa Hufanga, SS
Trent Williams, LG
I said it even when they were successful..It’s amazing they’re this good after drafting so horrible draft after draft..Looks like it caught up with them…They’ve been drafting roof tiles and the house ain’t even built ..Pearsall in the first?A kicker in the third?How many damn 3rd round picks have they wasted on useless RBs that just ride the bench?Theyve missed on 8 of the last 10 first round picks
Im glad i seen them win a superbowl when i was 11 an remember how real champions win
Kyle has to care about Special Teams. That would be a good start
On to Buffalo
Stay safe, ball out
Go Niners
Great recap of a terrible defensive effort. Agree 100% Sorenson is gone, and changes are needed now, not next year. NFC West is up for grabs and 9 and 8 could win the Division.
Amazing the head coach will go to blame if just the defense staff ! But won’t look in mirror to see he is as fault too !!! Take ownership and blame
Regroup reload and hope they can find that defense once again! I don’t see the niners paying Brock that scale of 60 million
I just don't get it, lets blame everyone else mentality. Who picked the Defensive and Special teams coordinators? Who decided to play a QB who has a splint on his hand (2 fumbles)? Who decided not to play Mason after one cary (16 yard carry by the way)? Who can't scheme his wide receivers open when teams are playing man and not zone defense? The finger points to Coach Kyle! That's where the changes need to start, by replacing Kyle. It's time for a change, the NFL has caught up with Kyle and this defensive scheme blows....
This s the time when we know who the Faithfull are, and who are the posers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FAITHFULL FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE STILL & WILL ALWAYS BE 5 TIME SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
100%
Damn. I knew it was going to be difficult to bounce back that SB loss. But to throw in the towel now? I keep seeing and hearing fans talking about “let’s just start focusing on next year”. I know we’re in a tough spot and we have tough opponents coming up but we’re ONE game behind in our division. Keep fighting! We’re the 49ers, not some low end franchise. Keep fighting, see where we get to and Address all the issues in the offseason. Just sad to hear all this talk about next year when technically we’re still in it.
Paying the wrong players, losing three first round picks, they have a mess. Can Purdy carry a team ? This will be the make-break decision for the next 4 seasons.
Saleh was in the Packers booth yesterday, bring him back.
They are playing for the number one pick next year!
Not even close. But wish they were with how their season has gone
This was definitely a bad loss, but wait until next week: playing 9-2 Bills in Buffalo and who will be very rested after a bye week.
Get good cover guys. Returner slash receiver. Kentucky Brion Brown
As UK and niners fan I would totally love having barion or Dane key
Good news for 2025-49ers play teams in AFC/NFC South Divisions!
It's crazy, even with how bad this season has gone that the Niners are only a game out of first place.
Thank you for your honest opinion and not keep trying to make excuses for the team, they suck and I think it started with the hold outs just look at the results compared to last year when they had a hold out that year and started out bad, I blame the owner and coaches for not making players play out their contracts.
It all started with the negativity from two "holdouts."
Excellent analysis Matt. Sorensen is unqualified, Schneider fails to coach the ST AT ALL, Chris Forester has become complacent tolerating terrible play by Banks & Brendel. Dee Winters is superior to DFF but won’t be given the snaps. We should activate Fellciano at center, but we won’t. Maybe things will become bad enough that our really good rookies will get some real playing time. Kyle, John Jed would like to see you in his office…
Honestly, we have injuries everybody knows that, but was anyone expecting cowboys to beat washington? our HC refuses to be creative when it gets him out of his ways? what has Kyle Shanahan won so far in his career, are we in the market for a coach that, when he has a dream team gets to the superbowl but loses?
1. Bring Saleh back/ use a 6 man front - gotta hang our hats on something.
2. Change the whole ST's unit & fire their coach.
3. Start Dobbs, win the division
4. Use 2 TE's sets; Run Guerrendo & Mason, rest cmc for the year
5. More touches for Ricky, Jauan, George & Conley
My Monday morning qb 2 cents 😉
Shanny needs to quit being so timid and grow a pair his dad can win 2 superbowls what happened
You know its bad when Colton McKivitz hardly allowed any pressures!!!
Yo Maiocco ! Long time listener of the insight. Just wanted to share something with You cause I know you care unlike the many other content creators. No one talks about the depth and the talent level behind the key players. When 2 or 3 guys on either side of the ball are unavailable how does it always become this massive dropoff with no balance. Happy medium in the football realm to me means balancing out roster, 52 solid professionals with chemistry. Relying on 10 to 12 guys could work but those guys need to be on the next level, we got those guys but health obviously becomes the issue, now what's next ? Who's next ? It's a Madden rating of 95 then drop off to 65 when the main guy isn't there. Just simplifying my thought but that's what I'm seeing. We got coaching, We got front office, We're paying the Main players but missing the crucial support that solidifies a "Championship Roster". Do We have those guys ? In certain positions most definitely but once a guy shows up it becomes " Do more of that and do it now ! " That's where his support becomes lost and the movement on field gets sloppy and appears worse than what it really is. I've worked a lot of bad jobs, been around a lot of careless people and this situation now with the Niners is totally relatable. There's so much more apparent issue but that's for another conversation. Depth, Depth and more Depth is the main issue on the player side. Coaching is solid, but learn how to take a punch better. Shanahan captains this ship, calm seas have passed the voyage ahead is gonna be rough if the boat is only equipped for a third of the journey. But Yo, if You read this far You're the Man !!! 👉🤛 Just an outrageous thought, Run Em 4niNe
The 49ers have many of the highest-priced players at their respective positions. It does not have to be this way, but generally when that's the case, there is a bigger drop-off when a team has to call on their backups.
@mattmaiocconfl Happy Thanksgiving Maiocco 🦃 ! Thank You for the Response. 👉🤛 Tell the Boys keep there heads up ! Run Em Four9
No it’s not that time. The reason being is that it’s still * this season*, and this season we’re one game back of the division lead. It’s dismal to be sure, but it’s not over.
When all 3 facets of the team keep underperforming despite having a core of veterans like this team has, the problem IS THE HEAD COACH! If it was just the Defense, ok HC Kyle picked the wrong guy. If it's just the Special Teams then that's on HC Kyle for not being able to fix it for YEARS now. But when the worst performers of all are the Offense, then that's the OC & HC Kyle that are failing the most. When you can't even get a team full of vets to try to scratch & claw enough to keep the game respectable and they just rollover & showed their bellies, you've lost this team. You can't fire them all, then maybe you maybe fire the HC that's failed to get better the 7 years he's been here.
Come om. The Niners threw away 3 1st round picks and a 3rd. Talk bad coaching all day long but at the end of the day you have to have guys who can play.
silly rabbit kyle doesn’t make changes. 49ers think everything is going well.
Hmmm maybe an Offensive line worth something?
Wow even you are giving up on them. I know it's unlikely but they still could mathematically get into the playoffs. Yes, even if they do I know may be likely they go one and done. I guess I just hope they find some of their mojo at the end.
Yeah, I agree. That game yesterday had so much more to do with who was under center for us than anything else. At least 14 points were scored on Allen's turnovers, and even though we lost by 28, 14 point swings can quickly multiply into 21+ points when the momentum is against you, especially against good teams on the road.
Do we still have big issues on run defense.. absolutely, but if Brock can come back and stay healthy the rest of the way, the 49ers have a fighting chance in every game. Seems way too early and too much pride in that locker room to just completely throw in the towel, especially with 17 games instead of 16
Coaching changes
All we need is a much better oline and that's it. That solves all our problems (minus injuries). That's it.. oline.
Draft well and rethink the offensive theory. Niners had the luxury of dynamic play makers to get them in the SB the those two seasons. Not saying the current roster is a bust either and we are having this conversation while the starting QB is out.
My gut tells me kyle is burnt out and ready to bail after running up the salary cap and the team aging out. I hope its not the case and if it is then they should trade him. Hes under contract you cant just let him bail for nothing in return.
Eek. Hopefully you don’t have to many people dependent on your gut feeling 😂
Hire a good DC, and put a No-Interview clause in the contract. I am so sick of watching our talent walk out the door. If you sign here, you coach HERE, "Until you're dead, or we find someone better." We talk about what happens to QB's when they go though multiple HC's and OC's (Bears, anyone), BUT four DC's in four years is just as detrimental.
They will F up their top 15 first round draft pick like they have for 8 year out of 9 years
Dont scapegoat the DC either
Trade kyle before he goes worthless
FINALLY! Deebo will be gone for next year. Sit CMC as he is clearly who he was last year! Sit Dre Greenlaw and let him recover for next year. Start Joshua Dobbs and give Tanner Mordecai some game time for experience! Run Guerrendo more for experience and Mason as well. Bad defensive coaching, poor coaching by Kyle as he bears most of the responsibility! One more year for Kyle and see where he goes. Rebuild the O line and D line ! Oh yeah, the special teams is a disaster! Niners will either be at year end 8-9, or 9-8 and maybe a chance for the playoffs should Seattle and Arizona faulter. And that’s a big maybe!
all the coach's failed !!! no o-line recievers cant get open we still need a good kicker moodys lost enough games for us already too many injuries for the 43ers to compete !!! this year sucks we should keep purdy out before he really gets hurt with the no protection o-line we currently have !!!
If by changes, you mean firing Kyle Shanahan. I'm all for it.
Uhhhhh....its Shamahan!
Kyle's actions challenge my intelligence and makes me feel like there's something else going on with this team. I'm starting to think the head coach and certain players are benefitting financially from not playing good and more importantly not coaching good. The whispers are starting to make sense now and I'll be sitting on my wallet from here on out.
Total waste of this roaster without a Vet QB !!! Either pay Brock or get a vet ! Do not draft another QB ! Kyle’s dad wouldn’t have won a SB without Elway ! That’s the truth !
Get saleh fire 🔥 the the skater dude
No focus on the O & D lines!
It all starts with the line!
Fire Jed York!
I believe he interjects his opinion way too much, and is not a football mind!!
Robert Saleh?
A team can only ignore the O-Line for so long. They can't do anything in the trenches and the opposing DC all know it. No team in the league expects to develop a young QB behind such a neglected O-Line.
Jim Schwartz would be a good replacement for Nick Sorenson if the Browns go ahead and fire Kevin Stefanski. As far as the special teams the team might have to turn to the college level, namely South Carolina and steal one of Shane Beamers guys from his coaching staff.
Saleh
@ nah I doubt if he comes back to San Francisco. I don’t know why everyone thinks the 49ers will be his first choice, when he can go to an up and coming team like the Commanders.
@ the commanders are a sugar high.
@@michaelslaughter54 I don’t know where your arrogance is coming from because this team showed signs of attrition as early as last year, but they fought their way to a Super Bowl. This year they can’t shake that liver shot. Their legs are wobbly.
@@Dolonite-w5c huh? The commanders are a sugar high.
Jed CHANGES NOT TO INCREASE Season Tickets PRICE this year because they fail to make the playoffs . He wil make CHANGES and FIRE THE HEAD COACH iwhen PLAYOFFS MONEY STOP COMING 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Liked # 276 👍
No o'line changes??
