Do Not Push the Big Red "Panic Button" ... Yet.

If they get blown out again. . . Could become tempting

To say the season is lost is premature. Absolutely premature. It has looked beyond awful the past few games. But let's not ignore the fact that we beat a Minnesota team that is 2-1. Say we had beaten another team in week one, and we were playing Minnesota next week, many would be predicting disaster based on the last two games.

This team has pieces to be successful when/if things come together. I have no idea if or when that will happen this season, but I still have some hope left. For those who see a 4 win season on the horizon, well that's fine. With not getting your hopes up, at least you'd be pleasantly surprised if we did better.

But let's not act like 1-2 is an insurmountable hole. Like I said, the last two games were way worse than I ever imagined, but teams don't get bonus points if they lose close games, nor do they lose games in the standings for having horrific blowout losses. They just get trash talked more. But trash talk doesn't change the talent level of your team. Right now, BECAUSE this team is in an adjustment period, I don't expect the team to look this bad forever. At some point, things should improve -- at some point things have to improve.

It's tempting to say, "That's it. We're done." But deep down, I think most fans realize that's not something you know for sure this early, especially after considering all the circumstances and the way the crazy NFL works these days.

Improvement.
It's really all we can hope for. Just show SOMETHING encouraging. ANYTHING.

Rodgers is going to insert his big peepee into the 49ers proverbial cornhole.

And hey, if nothing else.. there's this to consider in the meantime just to avoid hitting the panic button (not to compare coaching calibers obviously):

I agree we can't go on losing by 40, but I also agree things need to play out more. Also, please tell him to stop analyzing game plan at pressers. Nobody wins there but our opponents next week.

His SECOND season.

After going 2-14 his first season.

BW would have never survived those two seasons going 8-24 in today's NFL.

I've heard many predictions about how this game is going to go, but you put it so succinctly.

We wait all year for the season to start so we can "figure things out" ? Which I know all teams do as the season goes on but I never felt like Jimmy T was capable of learning fast on the job.

This is kind of what happens when you have a young team that is inexperienced. You are not sure how they will respond.

Exactly! At least some progress in all areas. It's hard to imagine a win vs GB, but to at least make it a game, that's all we can ask for at this moment...

people have been predicting we would lose to green bay every time we have played them since that first game in 2011 when we finally started to beat them. should be used to it

Ain't no button to hit b/c we are stuck with this coach and this roster for now. Just gotta deal with it

I pushed the Staples button but it said Interception.

lol

I pushed the panic button when Tomsula was hired. I'm ready for the "You're Fired" button. Its just a matter of time.

How about the "Sim to next season" button?
