Overreactions to the 49ers loss to the Packers: Why the sky isn’t falling

There are plenty of overreactions after a 49ers victory. Those overreactions reach an extreme level when the team loses. The takes range from benching, you know who, to calling for the head of DeMeco Ryans. There’s never any in-between.
