Who do you blame for the Atlanta loss?

How can you blame nate clement? atleast he got a pick, even if he fumbled at worst it was a negative 40 yard play for the offense who were at our 50 driving to score, this loss falls completely on the offense especially Alex Smith. Those two picks and grounding which cost us a field goal were the reasons why we lost. No blame should go to the defense other than that they are horrible late in the 4th, they kept us in the game.

Nate.. we had the game even through all of Smith's mistakes

Alex Smith, he should be cut, he will not be back with the team next year. He is like a bad habit, drop it and don't pick it back up.

Manusky??? if it wasn't for the Clements fumble, our D would have held their high powered offense to 13 points. The D was awesome. This is all on Clements, Smith, and Singletary

This is one of many games that were close and Manusky goes into his soft defense and lets them win the game.

Alex and the O line. Horrible interceptions. Horrible pass protection. Defense played well. Nate played great until he unnecessarily tried to make something happen on that last play. 14 points was never going to be enough to win this game. The offense only scored 7... This loss is all on the offense.

Should Nate have done a better job securing the ball? YES. Is this loss Nates fault? NO!

Listen guys, no NFL team is gonna win when you only put 7 points on the board....that came on the opening drive for god sakes. This loss is on the offense, PERIOD! Primarily, Alex "what color jerseys are we wearing, again?" Smith. The Defense held them as long as they could....the were gassed by the final 2 minutes. Nate played a solid game with the exception of a stupid fumble. But to put this loss on his is a cop out, protecting Smith and this non scoring offense.

Alice Smith !

PLAYERS PLAIN SIMPLE. Alex Nate Manny all of them.

Situation happen during a game! but the bonehead of the day is clemens. A victory INT and you fumble.

Smiths 2nd Interception, Smiths Grounding call which took us out of field goal range and Clements Running and fumbling when he should have just taken a Kneel.

Falcons did

Our secondary. While its tempting to put it all on Nate Clements, who could have won the game if he had stayed down, the Falcons took it from their endzone into FG territory TWICE in the final two minutes. Just as the Saints did before them. There's no reason to trust our defense to hold onto less than a 3-point lead with anytime left on the clock.

This I completely agree with
