Your defense sucks right now, and has for a while - and as much as you want to blame him, it's not because of your young QB.

The games weren't over till the 4th qtr in both of those games and the defense held their own. Just like KCs defense has been doing, but unlike the 49ers the Chiefs offense came through when they had to the most.
Here's something I took from the 49ers forum...
Couple of stats for you statistical junkies.
TOP vs Seattle 24min
3/13 3rd down conversion
Offensive snap count vs Seattle - 53
Defensive snap count - 76
TOP vs Colts 23 mins
3/12 3rd down conversions
Offensive snap count vs Indy - 53
Defensive snap count vs Indy - 72
The defense is giving up 333 YPG/999 total yards which is 21st in the league. The defense is giving up 5.3 YPP. If Seattle snap counts were switched around the defense gives up 119 yards less.If Indy snap counts were switched around the defense gives up 104 less yards. Logically you can say more time equals more snaps equals more yards. So instead of 999 yard on the season we have 777 on the season which is 259 YPG. That's #3 in the league.
We controlled the clock against GB. 38min of possession and we gave up 3.2 YPC. That's a top 3 number. I believe 100% this is a top 5 defense but the lack of offense has allowed teams to run the ball/run the clock. The offense is allowing the other team to control the rhythm of the game, and this has never been a winning formula for the Niners. The offense is 29th in the league in offensive plays. 23rd in TOP. 29th in 1st downs made. 2nd in penalties. 29th in TO margin. 29th in PPG.
I welcome anyone to convince me the defense is the problem.
