Aiyuk is invisible.
Bell is a joke.
DBs gave up big play after big play against a team without its top 2 WR.
OL couldn't get a consistent push. DL struggled against the run.
Shanahan didn't seem to recognize this wasn't a day we could reliably get 1-2 yards on the ground, should have called Purdys number more on third and short.
All that said it's early and most of our stars are hurt or rusty from missing camp. If we can get to 4-4 or 5-5 I could see us being a dangerous team if we get healthier and find a rhythm, like 2021. With expansion of the playoff to 7 and only 1 bye its all about getting into the playoffs and peaking at the right time.
Since Shanahan arrived in 2017, this is his fifth loss when the Niners have been up by 10 or more points in the fourth quarter. Only Jim Harbaugh/Ravens have more in that time frame, with six.

Six dropped passes didn't help. I have no idea why Bell is on this team. The missed FG, albeit at great distance, didn't help. Missing Kittle, Deebo and McCaffrey and Trent and Aiyuk still rounding into football shape didn't help. BTW, Trent's always been a big guy, but he looks 20 pounds heavier around the middle than he did last year.
