Yeah, it was truly horrible. Hope we don't see that s**t ever again.

Here is the saddest part of all of it.

We have Jacobs & Manningham. They couldn't help us out at all in prep & practice this past week against the Giants!?!? U kidding me?

We lost because of the turnovers. Each of the 3 interceptions, Alex stared down the receiver so Rolle can jump the route. Sorry. The game plan was sound, the players couldn't get it done. Harbaugh blamed it on planning to take pressure off of Alex - the right thing to do given we have another game in 4 days.

Which team is Jacobs supposing helping again? Cuz he sure as f**k isn't helping us.

If anyone watched this game from starts to end and blames anyone other than Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman for this lost, then you have to be blind, crazy, or you just don't know football. The offense was fine until the started using these SILLY gadget plays against the Super Bowl Champions. I wasn't a fan when we did it against Buffalo and NYJ, so I sure as hell thought this was foolish. Yes Alex threw the picks at the end of the day, but Greg Roman might as well had put a gun to Alex's head and told him to throw a pick. In and Out, In and Out, In and Out... I don't mind seeing Kaep once or twice a game (with us having the lead), but running on and off the field in the middle of a big time game... no sir!

he's talking about knowledge of the plays,scheme, etc.

The first drive says it all, Alex was fine until the started Kaep'ing. Had they let Alex stay in on that 3rd down I think the defense would have played the ball honestly. but once they saw Kaep in they snuffed out the run because they knew sure as hell he wasnt going to run it.

Again, not helping.

We have an entire Draft class not suiting up for games. If Jacobs isn't gonna contribute, get rid of him. His "insider info" on his former team was obviously worthless.

When your starting and back up running back come out ripping of carries of 10+ yards on the first drive, you don't abandon the run so you can play gadget time with you second string, second year QB. Alex was 3/5 for 22 yards and 1 carry for 4 coming off that first drive... no need to bring Kaep in and out the game. That killed out rhythm.

This game was on the coaches. They had the Db's in the wrong scheme, a retarded game plan including having Kap basically ruin Alex's flow in the offense and idiotic challenges.

Too funny. Real sound game plan there.

The gameplan was SOUND?!?!

8 carries for Frank Gore.

Overuse of the now-on-film-and-no-longer-so-unpredictable Kaep-gun.

REAL sound game plan.

Total net yards:
Giants - 342
49ers - 314

Average gain per play:
Giants - 5.3
49ers - 5.2

Third down:
Giants - 5/15
49ers - 4/14

If the turnover margin was closer to the norm and Akers kicked well, this would have been a great game. It was the interceptions and missed field goals that cost us. The game planning and play calling weren't perfect, but we still were about even besides the turnovers.

Yeah, even when they were up just 10-3, you felt it was out of reach because of how bad we were playing.
