1) Garoppolo: His worst start as a 49er. No doubt. No sugar coating it. However, it surely wasn't all on him. Interception #1 as has been widely reported was the WR running the wrong route. Specifically, I think the WR didn't see the blitz and switch to hot route, but not sure. Clearly though, Garoppolo expecting him to cut in and Bourne admitted such after the game. The TV broadcast said INT #2 was on him and he does have some culpability on the pass, but I saw something odd on that play and saw it again re-watching it. It almost looks like Pettis takes an extra false step outside before cutting inside. This MAY have thrown off the timing of the play and explain why Garoppolo threw the ball too far inside and out of Pettis' reach. Can't absolve him of that INT entirely, but something didn't look right on the route. On the third INT, I have no clue what he was looking at. WR wasn't anywhere near open.

1. Bourne didn't see the overload blitz. His bad.

2. I agree Marvin. He was madly pressured on all three. This second INT was weird. If you watch from behind the QB view, Pettis stumbles a tad (clipped his toe) and that was just enough to lead to an incredible INT by Rhodes. Pettis was stumbling all game and slipping (first game jitters).

3. Defender instantly taking out his knees as throwing.

You can question whether he should have just eaten it Alex Smith-style but this is who he is and that's who they are; a great defense that capitalizes on every mistake they force you in to.

Dropped balls, bad throws, bonehead penalties, getting 3s instead of 7s....those are traits of bad teams. Everyone taking their turn messing it up. Im not too hung up on 1 loss but those things better be fixed fast if this team wants to be good.

if we see the same things next week.. for one the kid should play and aa should be benched

We were still in the game despite 3 ints and a fumble. The Fumble at worse cost us 3 and the pick 6 cost us 7. I take this game a a positive. We played bad but we still had a shot at the end. Clean some things up and keep improving through the season. They should beat the Lions on Sunday.

I like the fact that the only team that beat the 9ers yesterday was the 9ers . RZ Insufficientcy was the contributing factor.
Untimely dropped passes and the 3 INTs adds to the mix.

The thing I most admired and hope it tends all season is our discipline. Three penalties . I love that stat.

Go 9ers

Is it just me or is Bourne looking a bit like he has regressed? Not just yesterday but in TC and pre-season, something feels off. I was a big Bourne fan. Love the way he catches with his hands. Love the way he moves. But something feels off and the INT only highlighted that.

The best thing that came from this game is Sherman holding throughout an entire route, making a PBU and not getting called for it!

Nice post. You're point #10 (bottom line) is what has my chin up today. They stuck around way too long with multiple mistakes against a Super bowl contender. We've got a good team in the making.

We should have won that game but blew our 9/10 opportunities to make plays that were there.

Still, this Vikings team was #1 in defense and #10 in offense last year. We opened on the road against them and minus the pick six, we probably wind up winning that game.

Have to fix this by next week.

1) I'm not trying to give Jimmy a pass, but each interception was because of immediate pressure. Saying that he has to value every possession.
2) DeFo is a beast!
3) There was a play where Cousins out ran the Coyle for a first down. I did not know he was that slow.
4) I cannot wait to see Warner and Foster on the field together.
5) Pettis had the ultimate up and down rookie game. The kid has the ability to get open, I can just imagine what he does against a lesser defense.
6) Sherman's leadership on the field seems to keep everyone in check.
8) Man I still say Solomon never entered the neutral zone.
9) Garnett got in the game and looked like the line was doing well and then the injury. Glad it's not his knee and hopefully the foot injury heals quick.

I agree with everything you said except the Pettis drop in the end zone. The ball hit the defenders arm first and the defender had his arm lodged in between Pettis' arms. Could he have caught it? Sure, he almost did. But that play was more about the great coverage than Pettis pulling a Vance McD. If he had caught that ball it would have been more impressive than the TD he did catch.

Petis Needs to start. He is going to be a problem for teams.
