Matt Barrows on how the 49ers are trying ‘figure themselves out’

It’s been a tough start to the 2024 regular season for the San Francisco 49ers, one that was further complicated by a brutal 24-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon at Levi’s Stadium.

The Athletic’s Matt Barrows joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross on Tuesday morning to share his observations from the latest 49ers meltdown, forecast when injured players like Christian McCaffrey could return to the field, preview Thursday’s matchup aginst the Seattle Seahawks, and much more.

More on 49ers vs. Cardinals

In a game that the 49ers both had to have, and controlled for the most part: They blew it, dropping below .500 on the season once more.

The San Francisco 49ers suffered another devastating loss to a divisional foe in Week 5, losing 24-23. This time it was the Arizona Cardinals, collapsing from a 13-point halftime lead to allow a late-game field goal, ripping out The Faithful’s heart once more. Even still, SF had a chance late to win the game, but quarterback Brock Purdy got hit as he threw and the ball sailed in the air for AZ to intercept.

That was all she wrote. The visitors were able to kneel out the rest of the clock as Levi’s Stadium emptied almost instantaneously.
