There was a lot of nonsense they got away with in the 1st half, quite a few that lead to turnovers and points and in the second half, it looks like the calls started going our way to make up for it all.

Regarding Lombardi and the lack of run calls? Go look at the box score. They couldn't run it. Ekeler - 13 for 35 / Kelly - 7 for 20. Herbert couldn't get it done. Despite being spotted 27 points in the 1st half with the help of the stripes. They deserved to lose this game. I don't think ALL of it needs to be put on Lombardi.

Let's flip the coin on that. How is it that Staley, a defensive minded coach, has his star player on defense loose his cool? Have his defense squander what was honestly one of the greatest defensive efforts you could have asked for in one half of football? They collapsed. They couldn't adjust. They couldn't get us off the field. In the 2nd half we had 5 possessions. We scored TD-TD-TD-TD-FG all in a row to win that game.

That's on the Headcoach. Not Lombardi. Also, let's look at the fact that Staley got Mike Williams completely hurt in a meaningless week 18 game and also that he managed to get Bosa hurt and tweaked a bit. There's a reason Bosa struggled. Dude was battling through a hamstring or groin injury I believe. So, again. I get it.

Plenty of blame to go around. The way Bosa was acting in the 2nd half was exactly how I was losing my [BLEEP] mind in the 1st half when our offense was getting robbed downfield. However. I am not a multi million dollar athlete that has an entire team depending on me with multiple cameras on me and refs looking at me.

That's on coaching as well. Keep your guys cool. Keep your guys collected. Said it earlier this week or last week somewhere. Your team is a reflection, an extension of your headcoach and coaching staff. I only see Doug getting fired up when they make big plays. When they make mistakes? He's calm. He talks to his guys. He keeps their spirits up.

Staley gives off BAE. Bad Anxiety Energy. Staley has BAE. Pederson has BDE. It's obvious.

He politely handed Bosa his helmet back which he then proceeded to slam to the ground again and then Staley did not immediately get in his face and tell him to sit his [BLEEP] down as he should have.  Not a good look.

It’s tough being the “boss” of people who many of whom make significantly more than you, but you have to assert yourself in that type of situation or any time your team is in a pickle and a guy or guys are losing their [BLEEP], you’re never gonna fight your way out of it.  You’re going to implode just like they did.
