"Jimmy Garoppolo picked up where he left off in the Super Bowl. It resulted in another come-from-ahead loss for the 49ers on Sunday.

More criticism for Jimmy G and his missed throws is sure to follow.

There were two balls in particular that the San Francisco quarterback would surely like to have back.

With the Niners trailing by four and a minute remaining, Garoppolo threw short of a wide-open Kendrick Bourne in the end zone, his pass bouncing off Patrick Peterson's helmet. Three plays later on fourth-and-5, Jimmy G threw behind Trent Taylor, which allowed Byron Murphy to recover and bat it away and seal the Arizona Cardinals' 24-20 upset.

"I can't really put my finger on one (play) right now, but there's a number of them," Garoppolo said upon being asked where he'd want a do-over. "Missed throws, missed opportunities we usually make."

Garoppolo finished 19 of 33 for 259 yards and two touchdowns but led just one scoring drive in the second half, struggling with the game on the line much like he did in February against the Chiefs.

"He had some good plays in there, but just like the rest of the offense (he) had some missed opportunities," 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters. "He's gotta play better. We've all gotta play better. The entire offense missed opportunities."

Shanahan electing not to run once in the final two minutes will probably be seen as one. The 49ers struggled to move the ball on the ground for most of the season opener but were effective on their final possession. After taking over from their own 25 with about five minutes left, the Niners gained 32 yards on four attempts as the clock spilled into the two-minute warning. Their next (and final) six plays were all passes and produced 16 yards.

Both developments -- Garoppolo's late struggles and pass-run distribution -- have become polarizing talking points in San Francisco. Shanahan alluded to his team's output on third down (2 of 11) and two trips inside the Arizona 10 amounting to just three points as being equally damaging.

"I thought we had a chance to run away with it in the first half," Shanahan said.

Instead, the Cardinals ran and threw themselves back from a 10-point deficit and won. It was all too familiar for the 49ers."

He’s gotta step it up. Defense did the best they could until they got tired at the 4th qtr.

Not just Jimmy "no clutch" football G... the entire D looked slow and out of shape in tackling. Just seemed way to slow to get at Kyler Murray. A few times they shud of sacked him but instead he gets out of it and runs for a dozen yards. Niners are not prepared. Saints and Bucs game looked more regular season. Niners looked like a pre-season game. SB curse is on... *welp*

‘That’s not the standard of the San Francisco 49ers’: Jerry Rice rips lack of professionalism in season opener

Jerry Rice decries 49ers' mentality in Week 1 loss to Cardinals

Man this explains it. No wonder they lost. Jerry Rice was at the Cards game and in the niners locker room. Says niners were unprofessional on and off the field. Says some guys were dancing to music who "havent done sh!t all game - no catches, no yards, no TD's" during half time. How can you be like that when a mid-level team like Cards are beating your asses?? A team that hasnt won an opening game in 4 yrs.

Point blank.

Agree. Defense was lacking. Saleh was not prepared for hop at all.

LOL. This had to have been about Dante or someone on the O line. Bourne is flashy and a dance but he did the best he could.
