"But Sunday was something else entirely: The 49ers played so poorly against the Houston Texans that it makes you question if they can ever win again. Their performance in a 26-15 loss was, in a word, awful. Or, if you need another word, you can go with terrible. Or dreadful. Or abysmal. And if you're someone who lives and dies with the Niners' play, it was likely depressing."
"Toss whatever word you want on it, but the Niners' performance was so bad, their coach had to use the nuclear option: He had to tell the truth in his post-game news conference. They kicked our ass, Kyle Shanahan said. There's not much to sugarcoat. The first half was unacceptable. (The) second half, it didn't get much better. What's the lesson here for the Niners, who (I'm pretty sure) will win another game this season?"
The San Francisco 49ers lost 26-15 to the Houston Texans after an especially poor performance that left the team’s prospects in doubt. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said "They kicked our ass" and described both halves as unacceptable. The roster is depleted by injuries, with players like Dee Winters and Sam Okuayinonu newly listed as injured. The coaching staff had been masking roster deficiencies with schemes and adjustments, but those measures failed against Houston. The team now appears at least ten players short of a championship-caliber roster and struggles to provide meaningful resistance to opponents.
