Coach Talk

Sam Fran 49ers
Good job deploying a starting crew that tallied almost 132 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business.
Fields is the future!
Our starting QB threw three interceptions and literally zero touchdowns? I guess we've arrived at a fork in the road here. Did Nick Foles seem rattled back there in the pocket, or were the Chargers just that stout defending the pass?
