San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was less than pleased after the Niners’ loss on Saturday, but on Sunday admitted, “When I the tape, it wasn’t quite as bad as it felt,” — and I agree.

The 49ers had their share of standout players and plays on Saturday, but definitely have a lot to work on over the following week. Hopefully for Shanahan, Preseason Week 3 will look and feel a lot better than Preseason Week 2.
