Pretty ugly. Niners have to get it together fast. If they lose next week, season is in jeopardy. Those losses to Bears and Broncos are going to haunt them.
It’s going to be interesting to see what Shanahan does with McCaffrey. He played a fair amount of snaps today under the circumstances. But by next week he should be the starting running back and the featured running back. You don’t trade all that draft capital get a guy like McCaffrey and then go with running back by committee. And they don’t have the luxury of time .
I thought it was really weird when he brought in the third string rookie back to get a couple of carries in the first half. And frankly I think Deebo Samuels at running back shas run its course. In fact, they need to find a way to get him more involved as a receiver. He has essentially disappeared.
I found it a little perplexing that CMC wasn’t on the field when the 49ers were in the red zone. Which is and has been a problem for them all year.
Had their chances in the first half. But you have to score touchdowns against the Chiefs you can’t kick field goals. And you certainly can’t throw a high school QB interception at the goal line. Which is what Garoppolo did.
Plus getting torched for a 35 yard screen pass on third and 20 and a 45 yard bomb on third and 13 doesn’t say much about your so-called elite defense.
Then let’s go to the special teams. Did they get a kick off past the 20? And of course they gave up the long return to start the second half. Kansas City was getting good kick off returns consistently.
All in all they simply got the crap kicked out of them.
