00:00Now back to Stiney and Guru on 95.7 The Game.

00:19Kevin Burkhardt, Fox Sports.

00:21That was the first touchdown of the game by the Green Bay Packers.

00:24Put them up 7-0 after about a 7-minute drive to open the game.

00:29The 49ers went on to get beat 38-10 and you know, just a couple of things and you mentioned

00:36one.

00:37If they don't hold on the kickoff return to start the second half, that game may change.

00:42The 2-6-2 if Debo catches that ball yesterday.

00:45But that's been the story this season.

00:47If, if, if there have been so many plays throughout the year where had the 49ers made them, maybe

00:55things would be different.

00:56Right.

00:57But they haven't made any plays all year.

00:58They really haven't.

00:59Yeah.

01:00Now they're making mistakes.

01:01Now they're 5-6.

01:02And Guru, remember last week we threw out the question, what's going on with the Niners?

01:07And I said, if someone were to ask me what's going on with the Niners, they're just not

01:11together.

01:12And yesterday was their 11th game of the year and once again they just were the opposite

01:18of whatever cohesive is.

01:20They just can't put together a full game for whatever reason.

01:25Yeah.

01:26And the crazy thing about it, partner, is we do not know why.

01:29But what I do know is the Packers ran for 167 yards, Stiney, 87 of those in the first

01:36quarter.

01:37The Niners had 10 missed tackles in the first quarter.

01:41So I'm not trying to go skip Bayless or stir something up, but when you guys have the season

01:48right in front of you, you're 5-5 is a defense led by Fred Warner.

01:54Where does the 10 tackles signal to you?

01:5610 missed tackles.

01:57I said, Stiney, I go back to the Minnesota game, Mooney Ward, God bless his soul, taking

02:02care of his family.

02:04But he talked about how he was being used and he didn't like it.

02:07That's what I got from it.

02:08So when I come to you, are you just, I'm asking, gonna say it was cold weather so 10 missed

02:14tackles is okay?

02:15Because now this team is playing out of character and it's starting to play like a team that

02:20is not listening to their coach or can give a damn.

02:24Well that's where I disagree.

02:26When you say now this team's playing out of character, I think they've played out of character

02:31all season.

02:33All season long.

02:35And here's the way I look at it, is yesterday's game was atrocious.

02:41And yes, yesterday's game they played without Purdy.

02:44They played without Bosa.

02:46They played without Trent Williams.

02:48Every team has a story.

02:50They absolutely got blown out.

02:53And so yeah, you can say, well we were missing a ton of guys yesterday.

02:59But what about the first 10 games when you were 5-5?

03:03See that's the problem.

03:05If this thing starts to really go downhill, and some people would say it already has,

03:11if you want to blame injuries, I think that's very, very dangerous.

03:16Because if you told me right now they could bring back the same team and everybody's health

03:19healthy, I wouldn't do it.

03:21I wouldn't do it.

03:22But I don't think this team has it anymore.

03:27They haven't proven it.

03:28But what are your options though, Stoney?

03:29And I know Purdy's one of them, but...

03:30To start to retool.

03:32That's what the options are.

03:34But how long is that going to take?

03:36I don't care how long it takes.

03:38Is it scarier than the way they're playing right now?

03:40Well if they're not playing up to par, which we don't know why they're underperforming,

03:44but you're right.

03:4544 yards on the ground with Christian McCaffrey.

03:49So this is the third game since they've gotten McCaffrey back that they haven't been able

03:53to run the ball.

03:54Stoney, I'm being real.

03:55I'm asking you, is that a McCaffrey problem?

03:57Is that an offensive line problem?

04:00Because if it's a McCaffrey problem, you're really in trouble.

04:03Of course.

04:04Because that's what you've become.

04:06Now Debo's become a zero.

04:08Like what is going on?

04:10And again, all I'm asking, partner, is why?

04:13And if you think this is a quick fix, this is not a quick fix.

04:17They're old.

04:18They're too old right now.

04:20McCaffrey's not McCaffrey.

04:21Debo's not Debo.

04:22You want to blame that on Kyle?

04:24Trent Williams is not Trent Williams.

04:25But is that age?

04:26No!

04:27Yes!

04:28Yes!

04:29Stoney, this is going to get worse before it gets better.

04:32Maybe.

04:33That sometimes is what happens when you're at the end of a run.

04:35And again, I'm no coach, but I'm a human.

04:38And I've played sports and I've watched it.

04:41How can one quarterback beat out another quarterback with a broken digit on the non-throwing

04:48hand?

04:49Like, make that make sense, Stoney.

04:53How can Brandon Allen with a broken digit still beat out Dobbs?

04:58And Brandon Allen had thrown an NFL pass since 2022.

05:03Our man Dobbsy, again, Stoney, just thoughts I had, he's quarterbacked and started in this

05:08league since then.

05:10That was odd to me.

05:11Dobbsy!

05:12A broken digit!

05:13And I'm putting that at the doorstep of Kyle.

05:17Wouldn't I just tell you, this is where I don't really feel like I have to ask the question.

05:24He thinks Brandon Allen with a broken finger on his left hand is better than Josh Dobbs.

05:28And that's what I'm saying.

05:29There it is.

05:30Plain and simple.

05:31He's also the guy that says he can't devise a game plan with Mason and McCaffrey.

05:38And now he's telling on himself.

05:40That's the only thing I would tell Kyle, you're doing wrong, bud.

05:43Listen to the guys doing the game yesterday.

05:48They're perplexed that you, the smart Jedi, can't, come on, and then when he gets in the

05:54game, he runs for 16 yards.

05:57Mason!

05:58I mean.

05:59Stoney, this, I know it's small, but it's big.

06:01I know.

06:02I'm not saying you're wrong on that.

06:04But they didn't lose that game yesterday because they didn't split carries between McCaffrey

06:08and Mason.

06:09It's so much bigger than that.

06:11You're right.

06:12It's so much bigger.

06:13Maybe you have more than 10 points, Stoney.

06:15What about that?

06:16That's one thing.

06:17Then what about the nine penalties at critical situations?

06:20What about the fact that the defense cannot get off the field?

06:23If it's not one thing or it's another, it's not one thing, it's another.

06:27But fourth and two, I got a backup quarterback in the conditions, but I got a raging bull

06:33who I don't use.

06:34I would have handed that thing off and tried to get two yards on the ground.

06:38I'm going to trust the conditions and have a guy that hadn't played since 2022 throw

06:43a little out route.

06:45That's nasty work to me.

06:47Again, Monday morning quarterback.

06:49But as much as I respect Kyle, I am really perplexed that he can't, Stoney, draw it up

06:57and have Mason.

06:58But Garindo's a kick returner now, fumbled, lucky to get it back.

07:02But Stoney, those are the questions that have me shocked.

07:05Yeah, I'm not shocked at all.

07:08And why would you be shocked?

07:10We said all offseason, during training camp, that this team was off.

07:17It's been off.

07:18There hasn't been anything good that's happened to this team in six months.

07:24Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey, and Brandon Aiyuk, to my way of thinking, set the tone

07:30for the year.

07:32And it was an awful tone to be set.

07:35And the 49ers organization was an accomplice.

07:40Because they apparently thought they could push the Aiyuk negotiation and the Trent Williams

07:45negotiation all the way to the end of training camp and think they could get away with it.

07:51And they didn't.

07:53And they started out slow, and now some of those guys are starting to wear down.

07:59To me, you can get on Shanahan all you want, and he deserves a lot of criticism, but the

08:05veterans have not come to play this year.

08:10Plain and simple.

08:12Other than George Kittle, who has had a good year?

08:16Maybe I'll give you Jennings.

08:18But here's the other thing.

08:19I'm saying the same thing.

08:20Now we're starting to be honest.

08:22What's happened to Fred Warner?

08:23No doubt.

08:24I just, I don't know.

08:25There we go.

08:27When the big boys don't play, you're in trouble.

08:30But when they do play, you still lose.

08:32I don't mean don't play like they're hurt.

08:35When they don't, they haven't played well.

08:36No, you're right.

08:37Okay.

08:38There it is.

08:39But coming into yesterday, and again, Stani, I didn't expect him to win the game.

08:42But I did expect him to compete.

08:45Coming into yesterday, Stani, I don't have to tell you, it's a marathon, not a sprint.

08:50They had, they were right there.

08:52And again, Fred.

08:54When were they right there?

08:55No, no.

08:56Going into the game, in regard to the division, trying to win the division.

08:59Well, they're still right there if you want to give me some.

09:01Stani, why don't you put the right on the table?

09:02They were down 14 points.

09:04That game.

09:05Green Bay, I know you're going to come at me.

09:07They didn't impress me.

09:09Like, that wasn't their A game.

09:11And a couple of interceptions, if you hang on to the ball, I know that's why you played

09:15defense.

09:16Brown had a chance.

09:17This, this thing is spiraling out of control.

09:20But everybody, and I'm with you, that you just mentioned, you got to put Kyle in there.

09:27Because a guy that calls and controls who's on the field, Stani, and all of a sudden now,

09:34you want me, after watching Ricky Pearsall run against Dallas and run against Tampa Bay,

09:39I'm supposed to sit here and think he's no good?

09:42You can't find a way to get him a ball?

09:46Like, he's too young for me to say he fell off or something changed.

09:51This is the chef in the kitchen, and it's not Steph Curry.

09:55It's Kyle.

09:56He's in that line.

09:57He's been disappointed.

09:58Here's another bad game.

09:59Another bad game.

10:00Yeah, go ahead.

10:01OK, well, you know, we keep criticizing Shanahan.

10:07Do something about it if you really think he's the problem.

10:11I don't necessarily think he's been great at all.

10:14He's just hard-headed, stubborn.

10:16I think the team is juiced the wrong way.

10:20Have they tuned somebody out?

10:21No.

10:22How do you know that, though?

10:23Think about it.

10:24How do you know?

10:25Because how do they look?

10:26Like a team that's not listening to their coach, getting nine penalties and eleven missed

10:32tackles in one quarter.

10:34That's how they look.

10:35I'm asking you, that means nothing.

10:37If your kids act up and they're under 18, that's on the parents.

10:40OK, well, then do something about it.

10:42What do you want to do about it?

10:44What do you want to do?

10:45Do you want to fire him?

10:46I can't do anything now.

10:47We've got six games left.

10:48Well, no, you can.

10:49You can rip him for six more weeks, which sounds like what's going to happen.
