God what is it with you folks??? You all think your God's gift to football coaching, which begs the question why aren't you being paid millions of dollars to coach professional football? You think you have all the answers. Get rid of Jimmy G. Get rid of Kyle S. Rebuilding time is here. Christ! Give it a rest.
The entire secondary and half the D-line starters are out due to injuries. What do you expect? The O-line is playing like sh*t but they, too, are missing key players. Half the running backs are injured. If you want to place blame, put it on the two weeks on trash field in New York - that field should be outlawed in the NFL.
The reality is the head coach is possibly the best or certainly one of the best offensive minds in football. Today everyone had a terrible day. But next week we will see Sherman and Moseley back in the secondary; that will improve the entire defense significantly. Jimmy G. has to deal with the high ankle injury, and that may take some time. However, the team is still SB worthy. They are unlikely to get a top 10 draft pick, and they will probably still win enough games to make the playoffs, at which point anything can happen.
You are so quick to give up on a team that made the SB last year just because they didn't win it. This year they have been decimated by injures, and no matter what anyone says officially, that makes a BIG difference.
If you are only a fair weather fan then go someplace else. I sat through the worst years and I watched the best years and I have faith that this team will come back from this devastating loss (and last week's) and show up as the powerhouse team that it is.
If you think I am wrong, then go apply for a professional coaching position and see what results you get.

Thank you. Some people are so ignorant. With a mostly healthy team we are EASILY 4-1 if not 5-0.
Cardinals game
Richburg out Garland out and a practice squad center playing. Odds are 4th and inches at the Cards goal line we make it.
Kittle injured before halftime. I guarantee if he was healthy we win the game. Unless he doesn't make up for the 21 yards we needed to win. Yeah right
Eagles game
No
Bosa
Ford
Mostert
Sherman
Jimmy G
Moesley
Easy win there
Miami game
No chance in hell they win if we have
Bosa
Ford
Sherman
Moesley
Williams
A HEALTHY jimmy G
We had the best pass defense in yards allowed since 2009 jets with Revis and one of the best pass rush lines in a long time. Even if our offense took a crap, a practice squad Allen (147 yards given up and 2 defensive PIs basically 3 tds in 23 Minutes

) not to mention a practice squad slot cb Taylor giving up a 70 yarder to a TE
We win.
INJURIES is the reason we aren't 5-0 plain and simple. Yes our OL is playing like garbage but people seem to forget before Jimmy was injured he was playing excellent against the jets. The Jets are crap but I'm looking at ball placement and accuracy.
So disappointing the injuries but even worse is people not seeing this or saying some typical cliche like injuries happen to every team? Really? What about the QUALITY of the players injured and the NUMBER of injuries.
