Frustration is mounting for Kyle Shanahan after another blown lead, marking the fifth double-digit fourth-quarter lead lost since 2017. The recent 27-24 loss highlighted issues within the team, particularly as the defense faltered, allowing four straight scoring drives. Shanahan expressed the difficulty of dealing with injuries to key players, emphasizing that this season has presented unique challenges compared to last year. Moreover, he acknowledged Hargrave's injury as a significant loss and implied that the changes in the coaching staff, specifically the decision to promote Nick Sorensen, have yet to yield positive results on defense. Despite these setbacks, Shanahan remains hopeful that the injured players will return, although Hargrave's future with the team now hangs in the balance.
