Finding up the pieces on Morose Monday: 49ers obtained what they deserved and they know it

No time to think, gotta worry.

It is 1 of my most loved traces from a co-employee lengthy, extended back who uttered individuals words and phrases during an business office disaster brought on by a burst pipe with drinking water spraying almost everywhere.

I envision the exact same issue heading on Monday on social media and chat radio, with the 49ers coming home 19-10 losers to the vastly inferior Chicago Bears during their frequent year opener at Soldier Field.

It was ghastly and brutal. But there shouldn’t be any shock about how and why it transpired, as mentor Kyle Shanahan pointed out afterward.

“You glance at individuals 12 penalties and when they took place, you glimpse at individuals turnovers, you seem at 1 of three in the purple zone in all those skipped options,” Shanahan claimed. “I do not care what takes place, you see that on the stat sheet and you know what occurred out there. It is not a shock.”

Ugly and unfortunate, but not particularly a dying knell. Though it’s the obligation of the 49ers to make the corrections and, the media to pick around the stays, in this article are some good reasons to shelve the overreactions on Morose Monday:

It is Week 1

Shanahan does not even believe in preseason online games, and education camp is additional truncated than ever because of to the Collective Bargaining Arrangement which stresses security problems.

A team can get a quarter of the way via the year prior to they strike a stride they utilized to hit by 7 days 2.

Consider a appear around and who appears to be like earth beaters in the NFC West?

Not the Rams, who were being overwhelmed soundly by Buffalo with quarterback Matthew Stafford seeking so shaky KNBR radio host and 49ers play-by-play announcer Greg Papa is specified there is something mistaken with his arm.

And he may perhaps be proper.

The Cardinals acquired labored in excess of by the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, with mentor Kliff Kingsbury declaring afterward Arizona experienced to sharpen up its apply behaviors. Which is sort of the career of the head mentor, last I read.

Seattle receives likely tonight with Geno Smith as the beginning quarterback. More than enough stated.

In conditions of the NFC as a full, Environmentally friendly Bay appeared terrible in opposition to Minnesota — as it did previous year in its opener against New Orleans. And we know how that turned out. Is anybody definitely shopping for Minnesota and Kirk Cousins as the next large thing? Dallas was a shell of by itself if its loss versus Tampa Bay even before Dak Prescott broke his thumb, indicating he’ll be out six months or so.

The temperature was horrible

A reality, not an justification. And sure, the two groups had to engage in in it. It was not particularly an perfect debut environment for Trey Lance, but so be it.

But if you’re already on the Jimmy Garoppolo train, it is time to examine oneself.

As Nick Wagoner of ESPN points out, the 49er have experienced two other online games with climate conditions comparable to Sunday in Chicago. They conquer Washington 9- and lost to Indianapolis (and Carson Wentz) past year at Levi’s Stadium.

And Garoppolo did not fare any greater statistically than Lance. He was 12 of 21 for 151 yards, no touchdowns and an interception in opposition to Washington and 16 of 27 for 181 yards, a person touchdown and two interceptions against the Colts. Lance was 13 of 28 for 164 yards, no touchdowns and one particular decide.

This a single was not on Lance, even if he took the wholesome solution and assumed individual duty.

The 49ers roster is even now loaded

Nick Bosa is still Nick Bosa, even though he experienced just a person early sack. Deebo Samuel is however Deebo Samuel, even however an early lost fumble  courtesy of the Bears’ Jaylon Johnson expense the 49ers in the purple zone.

George Kittle basically created the vacation to Chicago just before sitting it out with a groin harm, an indicator he’s likely not headed to hurt reserve which would signify a minimal of a 4-sport absence.

Elijah Mitchell’s knee personal injury is worrisome in that accidents preserve cropping up, but there are other backs who could take up the slack — like Samuel if the 49ers acquire it that way all over again.

The 49ers linebacking trio of Fred Warner, Azeez Al-Shaair and Dre Greenlaw is one of the NFL’s ideal. The corners nevertheless look massively upgraded with Mooney Ward and a healthy Emmanuel Moseley.
