Injuries were the reason for the loss today

[seabowl]

Not freaking out here because you just can’t have that many defensive backs out and expect them to perform like normal. Baker was picking the secondary apart with all of the backups. Is what it is, but I would say that if a couple of the starters who were hurt were playing, Seattle wins that game.

Definitely bro!

A big piece of me still wishes we had that ‘lockdown’ corner tho..

I think MM was afraid to put the Back ups in man coverage.
Least it appeared to me that we went zone most of the time.


Maybe one of our gurus will post up a breakdown?

Ask the 49ers if injuries are a good excuse for losing

The Bucs had injuries too. The difference was the turnovers and the refs.

- Neutral zone infraction not called on the Int. Blatant hold and block in the back not called on the tunnel screen right before the final Bucs TD. Along with numerous plays where Baker was only able to scramble after huge holds.
- stupid coaching decision to put Milroe in resulting in a turnover

If you want to be one of those guys and pretend that the refs don't matter in a game of inches, then you can blame the decision to put Milroe in and Meyers missing a FG

Or Detroit whose DB group is decimated and to use gawd awful Tre Flowers as a last resort yet they fought for the win. I get so sick of the injury excuse

1- The refs were bad for both teams today.
2- The Milroe call was just plain stupid. 3- On the interception, I truly didn’t understand why on second down and 2 yards to go with plenty of time on the clock they decide to throw the ball there. Why not just pick up the first down on a safe play and get as many yards as you can out of it by running it. I was saying to myself right before that snap do not throw the ball here. It was a freak bounce off of a helmet, but that stuff happens when you put the ball in the air. With all that said, having that many backups and having to go to zone D for most of the game was the biggest determining factor in the loss.

This game was a good learning experience for coach Macdonald.

Refs and injuries are not the reason for the loss. Just own it already, some of you are starting to sound like whiners.

If you think I'm wrong go back in a few days and read through the comments on the game day chat.

No wonder a lot of the old timer poster are gone.

MM will fix the D...but I came away with mad respect for this offense going forward

Bingo

 

[Titus Pullo]

It sucks to score 35 points and still lose.

 

[MontanaHawk05]

Not gonna judge our defense at all today. Those pressure stats from the last month don't stop being true when Spoon, Love, Hall, and Lawrence are all out. Depth may be an issue.

 

[Bobblehead]

They had injuries as well.
make that field goal.

Yep it's getting tough to post on here these days, and it's not just the regular posters *cough cough* sounding like whiners.

Then what was the reason?

 

[RockinHawks]

Then what was the reason?

Missed field goal? Or maybe that we played a really good team and just lost?

 

[pittpnthrs]

Ehh,,,,it's a learning lesson. MM had some questionable calls. Injuries and lack of depth contributed for sure. Also, as I said last week, Meyers is going to lose us a few games throughout the season. This was one of them.

 

[seabowl]

One missed field goal when the other team scores 38 points isn’t the reason. Why is it so hard for people to understand yes, they played a good team, but also they had almost half of their defensive starters injured by the end of the first quarter? That is why you give up 38 points.
