Now yes... Seattle is the better team due to injuries but this game was poorly coached in EVERY single aspect against Seattle. These guys injured or not were not prepared to play like Seattle was. If I'm wrong I'm curious as to what anyone found well coached. That doesn't mean I want Kyle fired or hate the guy but bad coaching from top to bottom was why this game was never even remotely close. From the opening kickoff to the final whistle this team got beat in pretty much every aspect.

If there was one series of plays I couldn't understand WTF Kyle was doing it was the FB option on 4th down. My god if the plan was to go for it twice qb sneak it twice. Brock has been amazing that….head scratcher for sure.

As far as being prepared, they had like 4 days and played like 3 games in 13 days or something. At some point something is gonna give. We were a dam being held together with glue and flex tape.

this was Kyle and Saleh all year….

The option was a garbage play, but can you really fault Kyle? He had the right play dialed up the first time, and he probably would have called it again after the timeout had the ball not been snapped. A total clusterf*ck by the officials there.

FWIW, Kyle noted in the post-game presser that Seattle's alignments essentially take the sneak away.

Yeah he had a right to be heated there. I mean you gotta believe your team can get a yard on two plays though. Kyle is gonna have to get to work to figure out Seattle, just like they did to us.

There's an old saying: "If you can't get a yard on the ground, you shouldn't be in the game" (or something like that lol).

McDonald's scheme is perfectly dialed in to stop precision offenses like Kyle's. To beat it consistently the 49ers will either need to do it via sheer overwhelming talent, especially up front, or they need to introduce a lot more chaos into the offense, like doing a lot more no huddle.

Will be interesting to see how teams like SF and LA counter to McDonald

Two answers: Speed and physicality. We've gotten away from both on offense and defense.

We got two fast WRs that haven't touched the field. We got a size speed RB freak that hasn't touched the field.

I keep tossing out the idea of Breece Hall here…ideal scheme fit. Doubt it happens.

I think when healthy we're plenty physical on defense. Folks don't realize how much Williams meant to that run D.

I'd love for them to sign Linderbaum in FA (highly unlikely). Bring in a vet IDL like John Franklin-Myers. draft EDGE or a playmaker in the 1st.

Quick injection of youth speed and homerun ability which we desperately need. CMC is a pleasure to watch and an all time favorite of mine but we need to plan ahead. He is a marvel but he is 30 and just have a huge workload.

Can we convert CMC to a slot/3 down RB and get Breece. Makes sense to me.

Two bad decisions that put us in a hole right off the bat.

1) defer to kick after winning the coin toss

-in essence taking the ball out of your best unit's hands and putting your weakened battered unit on the field first to counter in a loud stadium against a rested team. Instead they score on the return and you're already in a hole.

2) choosing to go with a horizontal FB option on 4th down when you should have really done a QB sneak x 2 on 3rd and 4th or at least have CMC or BRob run towards Trent Williams.

those two plays put us in a 10 point hole that we were just not built to get out of. It's a thing with Shanahan. Great play caller just doesn't have the nuts and bolts to understand the flow of the game. Year 10 and still hasn't learned…

8 qtrs without a td is unacceptable. Mike Macdonald with kubiak knowledge might be his kryptonite.

Kyle has become too dependent on CMC.

You would've argued the exact opposite if there was a turnover on the 9ers kickoff.

Funny no criticism for Sean McVay calling a completely scared game in OT but on brand.

Please fix O-line and get one more playmaker in this off season. Cut ties with Farrell he is a waste of money.

The last 2 games fans and the press were praising Kyle for his play calling. Now after they get beat by a better team with younger and faste rplayers on defense he's doesn't know what he's doing. They couldn't run at all. They couldn't get any receivers open beyond 15 yards. They couldn't protect Brock. They give up a 95 yard TD on an opening KO return. All Kyle's fault.

This, can't take a single thing that person says seriously. If Kyle said the earth was flat they'd argue it. I think it's time to block again.
