SANTA CLARA — Jimmy Garoppolo had just thrown an ill-advised pass to triple coverage.
The pass was intended for Deebo Samuel. But he snapped and fluttered into the air, and Denver Broncos linebacker Jonas Griffith made up the interception to extinguish the 49ers’ last and best chance on Sunday night.
Garoppolo was obviously frustrated when he returned to the bench.
Moments later, on the television broadcast, NBC showed a slow-motion replay of the 49ers quarterback speaking to himself.
It’s impossible to tell what Garoppolo is saying after this INT, but Shanahan said they always discuss any issues with the honesty he uses with his friends. “Jimmy and I are together every day, so there is no awkwardness for us or anything to hide from each other.” pic.twitter.com/gjvXNbr9In

Among the many interpretations of repetition:
1, Garoppolo criticized the design of the work;
2, was expressing frustration with his own decision making, or;
3, perhaps, was realizing that post-game food wouldn’t be as tasty after a loss.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday that he had not seen the video, nor did he plan to see it. He said that he couldn’t believe that he was even asked about the matter during a press conference.
Shanahan classified any guesswork about what Garoppolo was saying as “a joke.”
Shanahan said he always has honest dialogue with Garoppolo, and this week has been no different.
“[It’s] like it is with one of my friends,” Shanahan said. “Jimmy and I are together every day, so there is no awkwardness for us or anything to hide.”

Clearly there was reason for everyone on the 49ers bench to feel frustrated over the course of the team’s 11-10 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday night.
“Any time we’re doing good in the first half moving the ball, and you get to the second half and you have three turnovers and you have a safety on one and you don’t make a third down, it’s really frustrating,” Shanahan said. he said.
