Main reason for our loss?

There wasnt one single reason for the loss, there were several contributing factors, I am just dissapointed in the final possession. 50 sec left, Tie Game, 3 and out, 3 passes, why not run down the clock and go for an OT win, we have an amazing OT record, WTF!!!?
1.) Dropped passes (could've won the game)
2.) Inability to convert on 3rd down (last one hurt the most)
3.) Gore's fumble (10 point turnaround)
4.) Fumbled punt return (killed our 1st half momentum)
Poor officiating, gore fumbling, stupid mistakes, terrible reverse turn into fumble on punt return... There isn't only one thing that lost this game...

Too many little and big mistakes.

This.
scoring less points than the seahawks
how about COACHING?

its 3 and 1 on the seattle one, and what do we do? we throw the ball twice - are you kidding me? your telling me gore couldnt pound it in with 2 tries?

and instead of running the clock down towards the end, we chose to punt? horrible

COACHING was the problem

i didn't agree with you this..



this is really worst and the top worst is

number one "Fumble punt return " kill us to give the TDs
number two "Gore's fumble" wtf?
number three "dropped passees the two TDs" disappoints this
number four "Inability to convert on 3rd down" whats wrong with them

I honestly blame the punt return fumbleThat was such a stupid thing to do at that point. We have NO PR thats any good and you decide to do an end around???? That KILLED our momentum and we never got it back.

Stupid stupid stupid



that is very exctaly it!!
I blame my wife for not wearing her Niner jersey for support.

Officials blew, 3rd conversions is non-existent, special teams = garbage, VD (as good as he is this season) still dropping passes. All this resulted with me throwing my wife's couch pillow against the wall = not good. And who the F%^& is Keith Smith?

In short, we shot ourselves in the foot again.
Unbalanced play calling, 3 passes with 39 seconds left.... and an obvious missed pass interference call... on top of the team not being prepared to play this game!

We can come up with 1001 excuses, but in reality we had the chance of at least take it to OT. 2nd and 3/3rd and 3--passing the ball???? and less than a minute??? thats rediculous!!

RAYE/SINGLETARY WERE THE MAIN REASON
running the ball 9 times with Gore.
Out coached. Sing looks like an average or below average rookie coach. He needs to learn to step in and make changes during the game. He has no problem getting in the grill of a player but seems to let the assistants run the show, you hired then to do a job but sometimes you have to step in and take charge. 12 running plays is crazy, and if you go back and watch alot of Hasselback tape he is not comfortable at all with any kind of pressure, just look at the seahacks first 2 drives he was uncomfortable and out of sink because of the pressure the Niners were bringing.
Niners are not talented enough to overcome mistakes. The lack of playmakers means that the Niners need to play mistake free football in order to win every game. Not gonna happen with this roster.

Gore's fumble was huge. We could have potentially scored a TD or at least a FG. That play took away points and gave them great field position.

Gore has done that in the past also. Remember that first game against the Cards, he also fumbled on the go ahead drive. Only thing is we got lucky and recovered the ball. Gore has been fumbler his entire career.

Yeah he did it in a lot of meaningless games or meaningless situations. Now they are magnified because that was so huge. It basically made the next few games a formality.

Football is fun as long as we are in the hunt, Honostly im looking forward to April.
