(Episode 179) - Zain Naqvi, Brian Renick, and Al Sacco open up the show by discussing the demoralizing loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6. They start by talking about Kyle Shanahan and how the 49ers should have won this game despite the drops and injuries. They critique Kyle for his lack of urgency and his team's sloppy and undisciplined play.
Next, they dive deeper into Kyle's lack of offensive creativity. They get into some troubling trends with Kyle Shanahan, including the sloppy start to the season and the inability to come back in the 4th quarter when trailing by four or more points. They point out the 49ers' low team energy and get into why injuries are no longer an excuse.
Lastly, the guys bring up Kyle's awful record when heading into games as a favorite. They talk about how this 49ers team has continuously played down to their competition since Kyle took over as head coach. Finally, they sprinkle in some optimism and talk about how wide open and depleted the NFC is this year, how the 49ers still have seven home games remaining, and how the 49ers' injury concerns should lessen as they only have two more games on artificial turf.
The audio for the show is embedded above, while the video is available below.

To go with yesterday's evaluation of the offense, I am evaluating the roster on the defensive side of the ball today. As an overall metric, points allowed per game (ppg) is the one that matters most. Two years ago, the San Francisco 49ers allowed 17.5 ppg, 3rd in the league....
