Nick Bosa especially expressed his frustration with the defense in postgame interviews.

When Bosa speaks, the front office listens.

I think the injuries became insurmountable and Wilks and the assistants couldn't handle them. Three impact players: Safety Talanoa Hufanga (torn ACL) mid-season, DE Ferrell in Week 18 (knee) and Greenlaw (he had been nursing that sore Achilles' for weeks before it tore in the SB).

The best defense is a ball control offense ... Auggie Feb 2024 #6

How many passes did Purdy have someone right in his face or bumping him at least? I can watch and call out brewens Feb 2024 #7

That's why I question the focus on passing, not running, especially on the edges Auggie Feb 2024 #11

Penalties took that option away too many times. The tried to cross the D up and run on long yardage anyway brewens Feb 2024 #12

Was Deebo's ankle in such a condition to keep the Niners from relying the running more? ArizonaLib Feb 2024 #14

Possibly, probably ... Auggie Feb 2024 #15

Anyone think that the missed PAT had anything to do with it? Thunderbeast Feb 2024 #8

Do with what, Wilks firing? That's special teams. Auggie Feb 2024 #10

Blocked, not missed. I see a difference. rickford66 Feb 2024 #13
