The pass defense was destroyed. The pass protection wasn’t good. There were missed tackles and penalties and, matched against a good NFC West rival, the general disarray of a mediocre team figuring out just how mediocre it really is.
But when you add that Kaepernick self-immolation… when you studied his body language… when you saw him look so desperately lost from almost the first snap of this very important division game… when you just examined those four woeful INTs…
That turned this game into 49ers all-timer, a potential era-changer, and the moment when the ground began to collapse and the whole franchise started to drop into the crevice for all to see.

After his second pick-6, with the 49ers obviously down by a bundle, the 49ers coaches were so afraid of what he might do next that they ran the ball 13 consecutive times (two of those were Kaepernick scrambles that may have had a pass option in them).
An $18M-a-year QB, not trusted to throw a downfield pass, with the team trailing by 21 points.
The FortyWhiners implosion is officially Complete. It couldn't have happened to a better fanbase.
Anyone notice how much nicer our main forum is nowadays compared to 4 years ago?
