yeah, better start praying. Short of a miracle, I don't see us avoiding that.

Over the last 6 games.....the Niners secondary has 1 INT(Tart week 1).....ray ray has 2 INTs in the last 2 weeks

He's a 21 year old 5 games into his NFL career. Its almost as if young players tend to be rather up and down. Last year at this time people like you were b***hing about Buckner and how the 49ers should have drafted someone else.

What's maddening is that we have invested high draft picks on the Dline to put up such a poor showing.

The only player living up to his draft status is Buckner.

Who are these very high picks? Armstead who looks like a project who will never live up to his draft status? That is on the guy who is already out the door.

Buckner is playing well but people forget that around this time last season, people were questioning him as well because he wasn't lighting it up. I think Thomas will be just fine, people are just overreacting because of the 24/7 hot take culture we now are immersed in. It has to be about instant gratification.

#TruthBombs

It's Trump punishing us for starting the kneeling campaign lololololololoolol

Totally a joke so nobody get mad.

Truth

More like an extremely annoying organization. Why are people always bashing the fans on these forums? Haven't the fans suffered enough under the cruel, blundering incompetence of the Yorks? Anyone who still follows this team closely should be pitied, not derided.

What's the worst start in 49ers history? I know Bill Walsh started 0-7 in 1979.

Hes our coach, deal with it

Yes, the best advice there ever was given. You don't like something, you don't express your opinions on anything, you don't doubt it, you just blindly accept it, because that is the way it is.

Hes our coach, deal with it

As to the OP, he has done nothing, other than be a part of the Falcons organization that had elite players for years and blow a 28-3 lead in the SuperBowl. He had thunderous success as the Browns OC and he was the son of a x2 SuperBowl winning head coach.
The real thing to question here is not what have they done, but why they receive jobs in the first place. The NFL is one of the most all inclusive groups there are in the world and we get these genius boys who are hyped up by the media and everyone buys into it, because they say so and youre just supposed to accept it. Just like we were supposed to accept Brian Hoyer as someone who had familiarity.
I said the first game of the season Brian Hoyer was crap and the play calling was crap. Perhaps if you have Tevin Coleman, Devanta Freeman, Matt Ryan and Julio Jones as the primary targets of every snap on offense, then some of these schemes will work. If you don't, perhaps it's time to adapt or at the very least analyze what is going wrong.
Again, it is the same now as it was the first game of the season. We don't have Matt Ryan who will stand tall in the pocket and go through his progressions. We have an offense that is meant to run the ball, yet x3 during the first game we had 1 yard to go and averaged 5 yards in the running game and elected not to run it one time. The Seattle game we ran the ball x15 with Carlos, yet he average 8.3 yds a pop... The Rams game, on the other hand was the exception, and low and behold this game where Carlos had 25 touches, even though he was hurting, we put up 39 pts against a solid team. Yet, this reliance on the run in this game, only came after Hoyer almost throws a TD the first play of the game (for the other team) and struggles worse than a High School quarterback.

The point is: Either they don't want to win and ignore the exceedingly obvious fact that we cant rely on the pass to win or Shanahan is too cute for his own good. Sadly, it seems to me that it is the latter and we've seen the same thing here in Harbaughs last two seasons, where they wanted to turn Kaep into a throwing quarterback, coming out in 4 wide sets.

Lol.

We've gone to OT last two games, D isn't the problem, too many missed opportunities on offense. Hoyer SUCKS, even Gabbert would have us 3-2. Hoyer had huge hole in RZ, could have got us at least closer but no he runs backwards.

Bring on CJ. Nothing to loose.

I would just like for once that we could draft a rookie that immediately steps in and contributes, especially at 3 overall. He's shown some promise but not enough to feel good about the pick

Nobody on this team seems to care about winning. Just trying to play just well enough not to lose their jobs. Half of them probably don't even know what the score is. Can't win with a culture like that. If only we had a coach with some fire rather than emotionless, stone-face on the sidelines.

So exactly how many screen names do you need to continue posting these pointless, baseless assertions about a rookie coach 5 games in?

More than likely, you are.

Well, we far and away lead the league in it, we're 0 and 5, and we seem to be losing by mistakes, not talent.

Did I see that Shanahan said the protests were done this week?

Yep, I remember people saying "this is why Balitomore passed on Buckner"

I'm actually encouraged
