Is anyone surprised? I’m certainly not.
The truth is, as it has been for the last three decades, this is a complete effort from management down to the players when it comes to the losing. Everyone is a loser. Today, the patented “I-Pass” defense was present. Always giving up points on the first drive of the game. Seriously. Find a recap of a game I’ve done in the last 16 years where that wasn’t the case. Maybe you can count on one hand where the defense actually showed up from start-to-finish.
The defense gave up 38 points. For what is supposed to be a “vaunted defense” turns in the same old garbage.
Look at the 49ers and all the other teams that have struggled. Playing the Bears helps any struggling team get on a roll afterwards. The biggest example I can think of is the 2007-08 Giants. They struggled at the start and when they played the Bears, they pulled one out. After that, they went on to make the playoffs and eventually, the Super Bowl.
This year, you can look at the Washington Football Commanding Team. They are certainly going to the playoffs and have taken a step forward since playing the Bears. Now, the 49ers look poised to fight for the playoffs. Don’t be surprised if this game sends them on a roll.
I am just exhausted. I feel like I’m repeating myself with so many of these things. Yes, the dumbfuck was fired after Thanksgiving. And instead of using it as motivation. Instead, Caleb Williams getting sacked on every drive at least once and the defense refuses to play defense. This team quit.
At the end of the season, this entire coaching staff needs to go. And a ton of players need to go with them. An entirely new offensive line needs to be drafted. An entirely new secondary is needed whether it’s the draft, trade or free agency. This team is FAR from contending.
