Eh, I can live with a ton of yards if they hold them to field goals. The Colts still can't run the damn ball, but hey, we got attitude at left guard!

The dropped (potential) INT right in the player's hands near the end of the 49ers' final drive of the half was not good, either.

I hate when that happens.

Lol I hope not. Another year like 81’ would push me right over the edge.

This is going to be an ugly year for the defense. I have no idea what Ballard was thinking

Too many holes to plug in one year but the failure to spend a bit in free agency is perplexing.

The way they keep selling this "we want to win the right way" makes it seem like the reason isn't for anything on-field. Probably attitude or not kissing enough ass of those who had the new vision for how the team was going to play.

It’s a coaches/general manager’s prerogative to set those parameters but they had better translate to success on the field. I’ll withhold judgement for now.
