I get that the receivers dropped balls, but Jimmy was lucky to come away with only one INT. I'm not sure how you could watch his performance and think he played well. He looked like a guy in over his head. I'm not going to say that one bad game can define who Garoppolo is going forward, but we shouldn't pretend it's meaningless or write off his performance to the poor play of others. This was his first real test as a starter, and he did not have a good game. That doesn't mean he's a bad QB, or that he's finally been exposed.
M'Kay,
Not gonna say he played WELL, but I dunno how you can watch the game and not see that the drops had a SIGNIFICANT impact on the game.
They were drive extenders. One was an INT that gave Seattle the ball near the 20 (Bourne). One would have given the 49ers a 1st and goal and they ended up settling for a FG (Bourne). Another would have been a HUGE completion over the middle with room to run (Samuel). One would have extended a drive at the beginning of the game (Goodwin). Two more would have been a huge 3rd down conversions (Pettis and Juszczyk).
Time and time again drops KILLED them last night.
Now, at the end of the game he certainly made some poor throws that LBs dropped. No defense of him there, but without the OTHER drops, they are never even in that position.
I take nothing away from Seattle. They deserved it more than SF did. ther eis no question...but don't sit here and tell me that the drops didn't have anything to do with it. They were HUGE.
Well the 150 yards in non called penalties or so that should have been called on the 49ers, double helmet to helmet hit on Lockett, two face masks on Wilson, Horse collar on Wilson, late hit and targeting on a slide by three defenders.
Now lets talk about the Non in the grasp call on that Fumble strip on Wilson and Ifedi, then a in the Grasp call on Wilson when he gained yardage on that late play and turned it into a 3 and 16, call the in the grasp correctly on the fumble and that takes 7 points off your score and the momentum doesn't swing. Plus the non facemask call on that play also.
So you can complain about drops, yes we are b!@ch about the bias of officiating because it could have got players hurt badly, that in inconsistent in their calls. We also had players out by the way, we had a PS TE playing, two guys playing that had just got to practice one week, missing our starting Center, and Lockett in the 2nd half. I understand Kittle is a big deal in your offense, but no bigger then Lockett in ours, now add no Dissly who is impactful both as a receiver and in our run game, Willson Hurt with a Hamstring and Dickson still not on the 53 coming off injury, not as big of names maybe but important for the Seahawks in the roles they play.
We can sit and say that if not for the officials calls we may have blown the game wide open and it would have never been close.
As it is your lamenting about your perspective and us b!@ch about other things make no difference now, it was a great game to watch as a fan first of the Game and then of our franchises, too bad there has to be a loser but this is the type of game that makes being a fan worthwhile.
