I hate watching this team lose. Intellectually, I am excited to be in the running for the #1 draft pick, but the pang of losing is not mollified by the balm of future capitol. Still, I am having a hard time dealing with the whining on this site. Having stamped my fan card back in the mid-80's, I have watched iconic iterations of this franchise as well as the farcical versions (Dennis Erickson comes to mind..). Through it all, I have learned that you have to focus on the little victories during the valleys or you will never enjoy the peaks. That said, here are the things that made me happy from yesterday: 1. Kyle Shanahan is the Play-Caller/Offensive Chess-Master we have been missing - An UDFA QB threw for 400 yards while handing the ball off to two UDFA RBs. Another UDFA started at WR next to a 5th round TE. After suffering through Tomsula's "basic" offense and Chip Kelly's "please-kill-my-QB" offense, this is a breath of fresh air. Once this offense is healthy, I feel good about punching with anyone in the league. 2. We are finding more pieces every game - Jeff Wilson went from a practice squad tryout to a guy who might push Mostert next year. Keeping four backs plus Juscxzyzxcyxz isn't out of the question. Ronald Blair also looks like a firm member of the rotation. 3. Pettis is coming on - This was the easy one. His numbers have been great the last few games and his ability to get open should be a great asset to Jimmy G. when he is healthy again. What about you? What solace do you take in excruciating losses?

Mullens stat line was ok. Looks like he is throwing a beach ball at times but he moves the chains.

Dude Mullens stats line is a lie lol. In no way does it tell the tape. Mullens is just going to be an average backup. That about it for his ceiling.

I'd say one positive was Wilson was running hard. Was nice to see.

We had some good hits on defense (Sherm, Malcolm Smth). Jeff Wilson ran some guy over on offense.

Positive is that we may be getting closer to firing Saleh. That's all I want to hear when the season is over. Then if we get the #1 pick of course.

THIS. Sus constantly posts in player threads saying they are crap yet admitted here that he doesn't watch the games. I'll remember this the next time he tries to evaluate a player or coach for that matter.

We had two turnovers inside the 10 yard line. A pick six and a fumble. If both of those end in scores, this game looks completely different.

Yeah, Mullens isn't going to push Jimmy G out, but the stat line isn't a "lie". It tells us several things:

1. Shanahan doesn't need elite talent to put up elite numbers.

2. Mullens has a place on the team as a backup capable of putting up some numbers occasionally.

If if if. I get it. The score didn't tell the whole picture but I have a feeling this team will bring it to seattle during the home game, by backups and 3rd stringers.

Mullens fumble was on 2pt try I believe.
