The niners are clearly trending down.  This is a failure of coaching.  They need to hire a new [fill in the blank].  Forget any past successes, only look at the Seahawk game and make changes for the future or the program is dead.  Blah, blah, blah . . . I've heard it all before.

Are you seriously comparing Shanahan to you-know-who?  (And I fully acknowledge that Shanahan lost the game for the 'Niners in OT).  Am amazed at "the blind spot" in these parts regarding a certain coach, but whatever, I'm trying not to post anymore about Stanford football.

Back on point:  I get that there were drops, but Lex's take on Jimmy G. was the correct one:  dude was skittish all night.  And how many bad balls did he throw that should have been picked?  At least two, maybe up to four?  And that doesn't include indecision/late balls/wobblers that allowed the D to get to the receiver and break up passes (the long sideline pass where WR got jolted just as wobbler arrived comes immediately to mind).  Overall, I'd give Jimmy about a C last night.  And that's not going to cut it against good teams like Seattle.

The receivers dropped SEVEN balls.  His top two receivers were out.  And Staley's matador performance made me wish for Skule, believe me.  Neither Staley nor McGlinchey looked very good.

BTW, for all you whiners and complainers about Garoppolo, after 19 games he's 16-3.  Better than Joe Montana, Tom Brady, Otto Graham, John Elway, Jim Plunkett, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers and pretty much everyone not named Roethlisberger, Lamonica and Staubach.
