Yeah, he's seemed to drop off a bit. Thinking too much?

Both Tartt & Colbert looked lost out there Yesterday both better step their game up

They both made some plays but I counted at least two missed tackles each from Tartt & Colbert. Got to wrap up. And, when there's a play to be made such as a chance at an INT, make it! Tartt had a good chance yesterday in the 2nd Half...would have been a good diving catch and one that playmakers make. Harrison Smith was making plays all game. Really hoping Tartt & Colbert can become more consistent and make plays that are there for the taking.

Looks like someone is going on IR. Probably Malcolm Smith.

Should the 49ers have kept Carlos Hyde?

Yes. Our running back room is in shambles.

We will need to draft an RB next year. McKinnon should not be relied on coming off an ACL, but I am sure Shanahan will bat for his guy and think differently.

Our depth isn't very good but that's what happens when you inherit one of the poorest rosters known to mankind. Thanks Baalke.

Game Assessment:

Unfortunately, what cost us a W today was exactly what cost us W's last year. Crucial penalties, injuries, tons of drops, undisciplined, poor tackling, RZ offense, defenders with their backs to the QB and drops of their own...right down to the wrong cleats.

Big Picture:

We're good enough to stay in these games now despite all of these perpetual issues.

Next Step:

We've GOT to learn how to win as a team by not shooting ourselves in the foot. Rinse. Repeat.

Great post

We need depth at TE and LB.

Coyle also with a broken bone in his back. Ouch! No wonder they are looking for a LB.

I can't disagree with anything in this post, NC...

The questions that arise.....Is this a coaching issue and are we overrating the Niners' coaching staff? IMHO, the difference between the Viking and the Niners in this game was discipline...or lack thereof. The Vikings made very few mistakes and the Niners made several crucial ones. I would also question whether Kyle has a coherent plan for the red zone... I wasn't real thrilled with the play calling in the RZ in the Viking game...

The good news is that overall, the NIners only had 3 penalties so they showed a lot of improvement in that area from their preseason games. In addition, they made good halftime adjustments and missed far fewer tackles in the second half. Also, their top rookie draft choices played well.

So...are the Vikings more talented than the Niners or just more disciplined? I would say the latter. The Niners would have won this game if not for a couple of horrendous plays and if they just could have caught the ball better, they may have won the game easily. How can the NIners get more disciplined? That, to me, is the real question.

Cheers!

Big time. They lost Dekoda Watson (SAM/ST), Malcolm Smith (WILL), Brock Coyle (MIKE/ST) and Reuben Foster (WILL) for 2 games.

Hyde wouldn't come back on a one year deal. Signing him meant having a RB that doesn't fit for years to come.
