It wasn't pretty but it's a win nonetheless! Shout out to Edmonds and the Defense for stepping up big today. Liked the play calls from KK today apart from the boring and just dumb running plays that went nowhere.
K1 was poor today without a doubt but despite his mistakes, he didn't turn the ball over even once. Jones on the other hand fumbled the ball 3 times and threw a silly interception. Sure he had more yards and completions than Murray but his TO's killed his team today IMO.

K1 wasn't asked to throw the weather wasn't great in 2nd half and we saw a game without much throwing by us.
And at the end of the Game we saw why we didn't throw Barkley and Tate droped balls and got disrupted just because of it. Olsen even mentioned that with this kind of rain and artificial ground the D has all edges.
Without the ST TD this game never would have been in any kind of problem. And seeing what the 49ers did, 9-0 I think we managed it quite well.
Overall yes, on 1st you sometimes should throw it if possible, but yes, that is something KK has to learn and KM will probably never run out of sidline, if it was we that did need the points it would have beend the right call, on protecting himself it would have been the right call if we leed by 7 but with a 3 point lead it was the wrong thing to do and he knew when he was out of bounds.
