Fans shred Jimmy Garoppolo and his sloppy mistake to pieces
The safety gave two points to the Broncos, with the new score being 7-5. About his mistake, the veteran shot-caller said, “It was a tough situation. I was just trying to find some time on the play. It was a tough situation. It was altogether just a sloppy day. I think we had one clean drive and got points off it. Other than that, the defense really kept us in the game. Overall, it was a sloppy day.”
However, Kyle Shanahan, the head coach, accepted responsibility for the play decision that put Jimmy G in that predicament.
This is how fans reacted to the safety.

Poor awareness by Garoppolo, but the play call was highly questionable. Why run a slow-developing screen pass with a deep QB drop from your own end zone?

And this is why 49ers traded up for Trey Lance🤷🏻♂️. His job will be secure for next year lol
