I know this sounds like excuse making...

And perhaps it actually is.

But that Niners loss, IMHO, and while giving the Niners their due, (they beat us up).... a lot of that game was our own ineptness. I wouldn't say enough to 'give the game to them', they beat us straight up, but enough to where I'm not seeing that game as doomsday.

I know we like to narrow things down to 'one thing' but IMHO just about every facet of that game was sloppy... from coaching to QB play to RB's, to OL, to receivers to the DL to the LB's to the DB's... it ALL went wrong... to varying degrees, sure, but I can't see internal finger pointing in that game as worth spit. - JamesJM
