Strange game.

The first drive not ending with points, the mist 43 yarder, Terry's fumble and CY penalty are all killers.

This D is an enigma to me. They were soft as Normandie butter early. Then made some key stops to allow the comeback, then couldn't stop a 16 seconds left FG drive... (which Stafford is excellent at, one of the most underrated players in the league IMO).

Alex Smith played way better than what we could expect out of him, not on him.

Also don't forget we got a couple of nice breaks: the tipped pass completed to Wright (IIRC) that could've easily gone the other way, the PI and then holding calls on Trufant, the facemask flag on CY being picked up (good call IMO but that flag stays 70%+ of the time...).

Better team won. We gotta play for 60 minutes if we want to get Ws ...

I agree 100% with pretty much everything you wrote here.

This team hasn't played 60 minutes of good football yet this year. The offense has played good at times, and the defense has played really good at times. However, the inconsistency on both sides is frustrating. I will give the offense a pass, considering there have been 3 different quarterbacks probably 6 or 8 different receivers, and 8 or 9 office of linemen, on top of installing a new system.

The defense, however, they don't get a pass. They need to step up.

Yeah exactly my sentiment, we're allowed to expect more out of this Defense.

Plus as a D you need to play 60 minutes. It's OK for an Offense to only put 3 and half drives together if you score 24 points out of them and be dead the rest of the game.

But as a Defense, a couple of impressive stops and sacks do you no good if you give up 3 huge TD plays and can't stop the run for 2 quarters. ..

Great points.. This loss is because of the defense - our Dline players did not generate any significant pressure on Stafford. Also, the defense played really deep in Stafford's last drive which made it easy for Stafford to make a couple of throws to reach to Prater's FG range. I knew that would happen when I recognized how deep our DBs were when Stafford was ready to snap the ball.

While Smith played better than we expected, he showed he was the same QB in the first half. I don't know if that is due to Turner's play-calling or Smith was being conserve as usual. The offense must have good start in the first half to keep us in the game. The offense always started slow in first half and then come to wake up in the second half, this trend cannot continue if we want to win games.

Despite the loss, I did see a few positives. Kamren Curl and Isaiah Wright continue to show us why they should be on the field. I realized this in the game yesterday, I haven't heard much about Ronald Darby since the opener game, which is a good thing. I wasn't a fan of signing Darby when we signed him but now I would consider signing him to an extension. I'm still concerned about his injury history though.

I agree...another example, Curl and Everette seem like a better safety combo than Apke and Collins.

Who in the fuck thought Apke was a starting safety at the beginning of season? It’s absolute 🤡 shit. Who is the retard who made that call?

Also...Bostic is a terrible LB. fucking horrible decision to bring him back

Darby been a great signing, he’s played well all year.
