The SF 49ers lost ugly to the Dolphins in Week 5, and Jimmy Garoppolo was benched after one half. But the blame shouldn’t fall on his shoulders.
Um, OK. I’m not so sure how to get through this article without the use of excessive language, but on the strength of professionalism, I’ll do my best. The previously 1-3 Miami Dolphins went into Santa Clara and totally destroyed the defending NFC champs, the SF 49ers, by a score of 43-17.
This was one of the most grotesque losses in recent history for head coach Kyle Shanahan, and the wheels are slowly beginning to loosen from the hub.
