Part of the reason the team is struggling has been their failure to execute.<\/p>\n<p>For Lynch, penalties are a major issue. During an interview with NBC Sports Matt Maiocco, the 49ers GM spoke openly on his concerns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re playing clean,\u201d Lynch said. \u201cWhen I watch practice, we play very hard. And there\u2019s anyone who challenges the work ethic of this team, our work habits, we\u2019re well coached. For whatever reason, we haven\u2019t been a very disciplined football team, and that goes down to the very end in terms of finishing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That being said, Lynch is not losing his optimism. Despite the season not going to plan, Lynch thinks the Niners are still in the hunt and moving forward starts in Buffalo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFortunately, you know, all this has gone bad and we\u2019re one game out of first place in our division,\u201d Lynch said. \u201cYou can get focused in the entirety of it and say \u2018Well, it\u2019s a real hard schedule and we\u2019re on the road a lot.\u2019 What we\u2019re focused on right now is one team and\u00a0that\u2019s the Buffalo Bills, and they present plenty of challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>San Francisco Racking Up the Flags<\/h2>\n<p>No team can escape the penalty flag. Especially for defenses, who have to be extra careful when defending receivers and tackling quarterbacks. But the NFC West squad is seeing far too much yellow considering their quality.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco has been penalized 87 times, the 8th-most in the NFL. Further, they average 52 penalty yards per game which is the 12th-highest average in the league.<\/p>\n<p>The most concerning area may be on the offensive line. While Football Database states that the Niners only have 13 false starts, they have committed the fourth-most holding penalties (17.)<\/p>\n<p>Penalties are something every team has to deal with, but killing drives with holds is a major issue. San Francisco is averaging 23.6 PPG, but fans will have to wonder what the average would be with cleaner play.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>49ers HC Criticized for Late-Game Management<\/h2>\n<p>One word that Lynch uses in his above quote is \u201cfinishing.\u201d That coincides with the recent criticism from an anonymous NFL exec, who thinks 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan has struggled in late-game situations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a combination of injuries and then Kyle Shanahan\u2019s late-game management, blowing all those leads earlier in the season,\u201d the executive said to The Athletic\u2019s Mike Sando. \u201cThey look tired, like Manti Te\u2019o was saying before the season. They had a year like this before (in 2020). I want them to do well because I don\u2019t want to see them get another stud in the draft after a down year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of their 6 losses, 4 have come down to 6 points or less. While Shanahan has accomplished a lot in his tenure in San Francisco, the Niners have had a clear issue with finishing games.<\/p>\n<p>Evan Reier is a sports journalist covering the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers.
