    I would probably take the bet we lose 3 more games and have to have luck for a wildcard spot

    Tua crapped the bed today but you can’t field this bad of an OL against this good of a defense and expect to win. This has played out pretty much how I expected it. The plays were there but Tua wasn’t on. Just hoping this was a bad game and gets back to Bau to make the playoffs.

    This game also gives me concern that this isn’t a legit Super Bowl contender. We can destroy teams but the OL without Armstead and this defense aren’t championship caliber.

    Tua didn't finish the game due to an ankle injury according to the team on twitter.

    What happened you ask? Oh, he got hit low below the knees again on the sack/fumble/defensive score with no flag to enforse the tom brady rule. Thank for the the NFL and its player safety initiatives

    I honestly don’t think the OL was the problem at all today. They gave Tua plenty of time to make plays, he was just terrible and that’s being kind.

    it was the kind of performance from Tua that is going to raise questions and split the fan base again, that’s how bad he was. It wasn’t like he played ok and we lost to the better team, the last pick of the draft looked like a better player than him.

    Well the OL didn't directly effect most of the plays, but indirectly they sure did. It was pretty obvious that Tua was rushing with his mechanics trying to get it out quickly and just not playing like himself. It was in his head no doubt IMO, and rightfully so as we saw near the end of the game. The OL held up better than we thought, but it was most certainly an indirect effect on Tua IMO.

    Yeah, the OL was good enough today, it was all on Tua sailing passes or throwing them short. He looked and played scared today. We'll know for sure if the season is lost by how the team does next week. The Chargers are a fair-good team, but Miami should be able to win that one.

    If not, we are looking at 0-3 after going 8-3, and then maybe getting wins over the Packers and Jets. Maybe just the Packers.

    If he’s hearing footsteps then again, that raises more questions. He had more than enough protection today for an NFL QB. If that Purdy guy was the Miami QB today we win that game, that’s how bad Tua was.
    Maybe an over reaction on my part but I thought we were past these types of performances. I can understand a bad game when you have pressure every play but he was missing guys that were “Alabama” open. It’s a complete head scratcher.

    You can't react to imaginary pressure by rushing throws. If Tua had stayed calm and gotten points on a couple early drives, then you can run the ball more and protect him from the pass rush. Tua created his own bad situation with his poor play through most of the game.

    Wow, some of you guys really need to get a grip. One bad performance and everyone's jumping ship, some of you get off on this stuff I swear.

    Stop and think rationally for a second. If Tua plays at something that resembles an NFL level in the first 3 quarters of this game we easily win this game. Guys were open all day long. The playcalling was right, the gameplan was right, the QB just failed to execute. Whether he was over amped, whether the missing pieces on the OL were in his head, or he was just simply off today, or maybe even a bit banged up as some suggested. Right up until the Bosa strip sack that ends the game we were one score away from taking the lead. Two tight close overturned plays on replay from taking the lead potentially. All that considering the defense was on the field for 40 ****ing minutes because our offense was so incompetent thanks to Tua early on today. The guy had a bad game for whatever reason, or for a combination of reasons.

    But if you seriously watched this game today and now all of the sudden think this team sucks and is done then you're either drunk, or crazy. This game was easily there to be won, one or two plays, or one or two calls go our way and its a victory. It's not like we pulled a Gase or Flores embarassment getting beat by 40. Sure the final score looks back, but that's due to the scoop and score where Shell just... I guess decided to take a play off against Bosa. Then the skylar INT. Let the 49ers and the media have their fun with us from the final score, but if you watched this game and paid attention the score is not indicative of what happened in this game. The scheme was right on O, the execution wasnt from Tua for whatever reason yet to be determined. The sky isn't falling IMO, plays were there to be made, the win was there to be had. Just didn't execute. That's not what we're used to, we're used to being beaten like we weren't even on the same level talent wise.

    So let's take a step back from the ledge here folks.

    100% agreed. He should't be reacting to the possibility of poor blocking, but I think he certainly was. That's the point I'm making though; this is on him and his play. I really hope he stands up in that locker room after the game and owns it for the rest of those guys too.

    I mean they played against the number one ranked defense in the road. Yes we looked average but credit the defense also. Just not our defense lol

    I think the only think SF's defense did today was get some pressure on Tua at times. Not as much as they should have given our OL situation today. Our WR's were wide open all over the field all game though. Tua just stunk up the joint most of the game for whatever reason. The only other thing I think the SF D did well was pursue and tackle well, but McDaniel did his usual job of scheming guys open all over the field as we've seen all year, but Tua was wildly inaccurate today for some reason and we were missing Waddle essentially as well. Just wasn't their day today. If this kind of performance from Tua continues into next week; then we can get concerned again.

    I have a hard time believing though that SD is going to look at the tape from today and go... yes!! SF showed us the blueprint to slow down the Miami offense. Guys were open everywhere, we just couldnt execute.

    Tua certainly could have won the game today and played horribly. But I also think injuries pretty much made us abandon the run game. We only rushed the ball 8 times and it’s really hard to win when you’re that one dimensional.

    Not tying to make excuses for Tua because I’ve been vocally critical about him but I just think SF has a much better team than Miami.

    Tua had a really bad game today. There’s no denying that. His first half performance was really causing me to shake my head in disbelief…wondering what in the world was going on. But EVERY quarterback has a bad game. EVERY…SINGLE…ONE!!

    Hopefully this is the one game, the one loss Miami needs to get them re-focused and playing back to the level they were playing before the bye.

    The part that concerns me though is when bigtime QB's have bad games is because they're usually getting beat by the defense. Not reading it right, making bad decisions etc. That was not Tua's issue today. He was throwing to wide open WR's, just flat out missing them. Mental, too hyped, poor mechanics, banged up, who really knows... but that's what concerns me... this was a self inflicted poor performance. If he had played poorly because SF's defense was swarming, covering everything, confusing him, etc. etc. Then I'd be like OK, hey team had a bad game. That wasn't the case, the gameplan and the playcalls weren't bad, guys were open against that D and they were wide open. Tua just flat out stunk throwing the ball. To me that's concerning, cuz it seems like it's all him, not anything he was facing.

    No that's a good thing. If it was the defense beating him there's less of a chance he could "correct" that. If this was just being mentally out of the zone that's just a learning experience. And he did come back a bit in the 4th. Have to say though I can't recall the last time a normally accurate QB put in that kind of a performance. What precisely was his issue today I'd love to know.

    I've convinced myself that Tua was dealing with an ankle or foot injury today and that's why his throws were off. Now I need to convince myself that he'll heal this week and be awesome against the Chargers.

    Also, Jimmy G broke his foot and is out for the season.

    I went back and looked at the game, and most of Tua's bad throws were under pressure or off schedule, off-platform throws, or on the run, which are the type of throws he has always struggled with.

    Give San Francisco a bit more credit for getting pressure and disrupting Tua's clean pocket and timing. When Tua has a clean pocket where he can set and get throws out on schedule, he is usually lethal. However whenever he has to go off script under pressure and throw off platform, that is where he looks like an amateur.

    Well besides Tua the Def flat out sucks on the road.
    Playoffs will be on the road and probally against a QB that's not the last.pick in draft and in the cold.
    How do u think that is going.to go?
    Chubb didn't nothing to improve this D.Waste of money.He is not a game changer

    I think Terron being out definitely affected Tua’s confidence in the pocket.. he is constantly thinking about Bosa diving at his knees with a new rotation on the line.. terron would have made a difference, not sure if we win but there would have been a better Tua out there

    Grier is in full on win now do or die mode. Leveraging the future for the present. If we don't at least contend for a Super bowl this season Grier should be shown the door. He should have been show the door a couple of seasons ago but better late than never.

    The little I was able to watch Tua was off but the team as a whole seemed tight. It was clear this meant more to the players than just a regular season game.

    The defense was on the field far too long. But whenever I saw them, they were unable to generate any pressure.

    On to the Chargers!

    PS Our HC seemed to have the right plays, just couldn't execute well.

    Only way that happens is if Tua stinks the place up for all of those games and then we are in trouble for a few years yet again.

    This was the #1 defence in the league and we had guys running wide open. If Tua was as accurate as he normally is he would have thrown for 400 yards, the scheme works. It will work for the rest of the year, it’s basically down to which Tua do we get, the one from yesterday or the one from the previous 8 weeks? If it’s the latter, we still go 12-5 at worse. If the former then we are probably looking at 10-7.

    It's like most of you don't watch the Dolphins every year or forgot the pervious season before the new one starts. This team does this every time they are in position to make the playoffs. The Dolphins will lose this week and it will probably be an embarrassing loss with Tua playing like trash. That's what this team does in big spots.
