Bad luck or injuries had nothing to do with the loss.“We got our tails kicked in,” George Kittle said.And that’s the first time that’s really happened to the Niners this season without an obvious excuse.Yes, San Francisco went up against a worthy adversary and didn’t look worthy of the stage.That’s the kind of loss that throws everything into questi...
