Can we add a 5th choice for all of the above in the poll. What kills me the most about this loss aside from any individual or position group, is the the fact that we had 2 weeks and a weekend to prepare for this game.

I agree that the cards seemed stacked against us from the onset. The fans were so into the game and ya can’t blame them and any team would draw off of that raising their ability to play. We knew it wasn’t going to be an easy win, but I could have never imagined the end result. I’m not a big believer in the coulda shoulda woulda, but I’m starting to wonder if we hadn’t have gotten those HUGE 3rd down penalties and if AP would have followed his blocks and we got off to a nice start. Would it have changed the outcome as far as the W/L colomn.

I’ll be interested to see how the coaching staff and players alike do to bounce back. This game will be so telling of if this team has the ability to even break 500 or not. Fingers crossed.

The only way we wouldn't bounce back from this is if we had no leaders in the locker room. I think we do, and I expect them to lead by example this week.

Also it's disappointing to hear what Hall said about Norman, but I would hope after the game he had last week he'd focus on what's important this week.

Right now he is focused on his silly twitter battle with Michael Thomas

Really getting tired of Norman. Just shut up and play dude. Or how about make a play for once? Or how about you stop blowing coverages? I'd expect that from a rookie, not one of the highest (over) paid corners in the league.

For what its worth,

Norman was the guy who fucked up the record breaker,

skins were playing a cover 3 cloud with Montae closing the Middle of field, Josh blew his assignment and MN was late getting over.

Before watching film I thought it would have been on the S but nope freaking Josh caused it.

Says we have a checkdown king to me. Tom Brady doesn't like throwing to his WRs either.

Guys not getting open enough is an issue as well, but Alex has never really thrown to Wrs all that much historically.

They are getting open, he's not seeing them or waiting to late.

Some plays yes but others no, one issue is we dont have a possession guy that he trust, another is he doesn't like to throw a WR open meaning a High turnover worthy play. We have to realize that this is what the offense will be like for at least the next year (2019), unless we get a WR like Tyreke Hill and that is not likely.

On that int he threw on 4th down, Harris was wide open from the snap essentially and he waited until the CB recovered to throw it then under threw it at that.

We got a quarterback playing like crap and all I hear is we have to figure out what he is comfortable with. The problem is Jay Gruden can’t figure out which way is up.
Im not even watching the game this weekend. Aint worth my time. I wish I could fast forward out of the Gruden and Smith era. Uggh even if I could Bruce fucking Allen is still there. I think i hold him more responsible than anyone. Normally at 2-2 Id be ecstatic but this smells like a shit sandwich of a season even at 2-2. So many holes on this roster too. This entire team is no different than any other team in recent history. So God damned discouraging.

It’s week 4, they’re not gonna do that to the QB they just signed. If it was the last year of his deal maybe, but we all knew this was just another bandaid until we draft a QB. Smith is like a poor man’s bootleg Cousins, he’ll play just good enough in several games to get fans to calm down but he’ll never get you completely to the promised land.

I think its absolutely a bad omen that after a bye week Alex Smith has a game like that versus a bad secondary. There is no fucking excuse for that performance.

Horrific doesn't do it justice.

It puts the thought in my head...Another fucking garbage QB move from Bruce and Dan.

I think we know what peak Alex Smith looks like. A guy that can win you a lot of games if he has a strong supporting cast.

I also think we have seen what terrible Alex Smith looks like. Or at least I hope that's the worst we'll see from him.
