Sunday night’s loss to the Denver Broncos was a beyond frustrating effort for the San Francisco 49ers. In their first game since Trey Lance went down with a season-ending leg injury, Jimmy Garoppolo was tasked once again with leading the Niners offense.
And, well, he did not seem to be on the same page with head coach Kyle Shanahan’s game plan. At least that’s what lip-reading fans think.
The Broncos essentially iced the game when Jonas Griffith picked off Garoppolo on a deflected pass to Deebo Samuel late in the fourth quarter. As Garoppolo was walking off the field, a close-up camera shot appeared to show him having words for Shanahan’s play calling.

The initial tweet of the video suggested that Garoppolo said, “All your plays suck, man.” And while the first two words are a bit unclear — he could have said “curl plays” possibly — it looked like Garoppolo was complaining about the play call regardless.
Garoppolo finished the game with 211 yards, a touchdown and that interception on 18 of 29 passing.
Fans, as you could expect, had plenty of thoughts on the lip-reading video.
This was how Twitter reacted

Coupled with what Jimmy said last week about freedom, is Kyle predetermining where the ball is supposed to go and then just telling Jimmy where to throw it?

Only thing I can for sure say he's saying is "suck man" but feel free to speculate. It's like Deebo in the club again! https://t.co/gyAl4ZfXEa

Not sure how anyone seeβs Jimmy Garoppolo saying βyour.β
Hereβs the number I recommend for some: 1-800-CONTACTS & a sale is happening @ Lens Crafters
Brady had a temper tantrum. Dorsey flipped out in the coaching box. Hate/love Jimmy, he can voice his opinion on a play. #49ers https://t.co/EdKwoY0VZu

And it won’t get any easier with the Rams coming up next on the schedule.
