4. Everyone knew that the O-line was week, for all off-season. Nothing substantial done to augment it

As for the worst offensive game in 49er history ..... well, more "brilliant strategy" at work.

Jimmy G. was being shopped, so he stood on the sidelines all pre-season, got no snaps, no playbook, and as one person said, "Threw footballs into a trash can" all that time.

And as for Kyle, the "offensive genius" who makes only one mistake per game --- the deciding play at the end, he did it again, declining a penalty, so Denver made a 51 yard FG, easy in that vacuum one mile high, and the game was won by one point.

Social Media and "Forty Niner Faithful" are ripping Jimmy G. for being the second QB in NFL history to take a walk past the end line.

No idea what was going on there. The safety nullified a pick 6 that he threw. But, like the FG, that was decisive.

So it goes.

Wilson is 17 and 4 against SF.
