You can make these same type of excuses for all losses for any of the teams with two or fewer losses.
Definitely can do that for the Hawks game, and talk oneself into why they should be undefeated.
Long season left to play, but it is clear that the 49ers are no wherr near as invincible, particularly on defense, as they looked a couple weeks ago.
I think Burrow will pick apart the 49er’s secondary, as he is healthy now.
Week 8 will be an interesting flip comparison between the 49ers & Hawks.
Both teams playing the opponent that beat the other in an upset in week 6, except both the Hawks & 49ers are playing at home in week 8.
Missed the game as I was at a family function this pm but it sounds as if the Hawks made up for blowing that game in Cincinnati! Can’t believe they are first in their division this far into the season.
Purdy’s had some issues the last 2 games. Some of that is missing Trent Williams and Deebo. He’ll adjust. The interception in the red zone was him pushing too hard and a great play by the LB. It was 1st down, throw it into the stands and try again. Shanahan will go over the tapes on the interceptions he’s had over the middle. He’s not reading something right there. That can be worked on in the film room and practice,
What worries me is the defense can’t seem to get off the field on 3rd downs like they were. The zone isn’t holding up up long enough for the pass rush to land all of the sudden.
