The Good:
- Bowman
- Williams
- Dial
The Bad:
- Turnovers and, in general, all the self-inflicted wounds of the offense. Did they spend more time going backwards than forwards in this game?
The Ugly:
- The empty stadium, the ugly banners flying overhead prior to home games and the general aura around this team right now. 2005 was bad but this one is starting to look like the movie "All is Lost." Singletary didn't know the X's and O's of coaching a team but he could at least get his players to play hard for him. The problem is a leadership void that is starting to cascade its way down the organization in a way that reminds me of Oakland and Jacksonville (prior to ownership change). This does not bode well for the future.
- Perhaps it is Harbaugh who succeeded in spite of ownership.
- This team needs to rebuild its offense and I'm not sure Baalke is the guy who can do it. How's he done in the past at finding offensive personnel?

I see no hope for the future of the Oline through the draft if Blake is still in charge. Apparently Balke thinks you aren't allowed to draft o linemen in the 2nd or 5th round.
Two top picks.= One quit the team, the other was deemed to expensive. So why even try to draft a guard that high if you're afraid he will be too good to want to pay and keep in the future. He had better keep Boone. From what someone was saying on the radio, they don't think that 49ers players will welcome A Davis back after quitting to rest up
