I guess you need to start with the Defense when it gets a shutout. Man, Fred Warner was an absolute monster for Niners against the Saints. He was everywhere. Even when beat, he was right there to nearly knock a ball away in pass coverage. The other guy who stood out was Talanoa Hufanga. Between those two, 16 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, 2 passes defensed, lots of QB pressures, and they even helped create stops when they weren't getting on the stat sheet for what they did. Nick Bosa was held so many times I lost count, with I believe only one actually called. Mark Sanchez said on the broadcast that Bosa was offside on his 4th quarter 4th down sack. He wasn't. He actually had perfect timing because he was lined up a bit off the LOS when he came out of his stance, and moved across it as the ball was snapped.

It's so frustrating watching games on TV when the offense isn't productive passing the ball, because you just can't see down field to tell if receivers were open or not. Need to be in the stadium or watching All-22.  I'd pay for a subscription to watch the All-22 live. That's only available now after the games are played. Anyway, it seemed Garoppolo was waiting too long to throw the ball against Saints and not throwing with anticipation. Then he missed an open CMac down the sideline.

I know he has 67% completions and a 16-4 TD-INT, but I just don't believe the Niners can win it all with Garoppolo at QB. The Niners have played one really good team and lost badly. Granted they were terrible in all phases of that game, so not all on G, but he was awful in that game. Beat the Dolphins and I will believe it possible to win a ring with G. 

When you have a defense like the Niners have - that will be getting Arik Armstead back - and the array of offensive stars it has, you just can't be happy with anything less than a Lombardi Trophy this year. I'm tired of extending the NFC Championship Game appearance record. I want another Super Bowl victory outside the Bill Walsh Era of influence, and to not see this roster go to waste. Niners fans have already endured losing to the freaking Bears and Broncos this season. Time to make up for stepping on those rakes with a victory over the #2 team in the AFC.
