Fans did not hold back on torching Deebo Samuel following a brutal drop in San Francisco's 12-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday.

With the game tied at 3-3 in the third frame, the 49ers came deep within Rams territory on third-and-10. With a chance to pick up the first down, quarterback Brock Purdy spotted Samuel's run.

However, rather than securing the catch and gaining yards, the sixth-year wide receiver let the ball slip through his hands.

The fumble came days after Samuel took to X and wrote: 'Not struggling at all just not getting the ball!' on Monday. He then deleted the post and later claimed he was not 'hating' on his teammates.

As a result, fans ripped into Samuel on social media over the state of his season.

'Can't wait to hear his excuse,' one user wrote.

'That guy is a cancer. The epitome of entitlement,' a second added. 'Just watch his postgame interviews. Multi millionaire complaining about his role and his stats. Gross.'

'I think he's struggling,' a third chimed in.

'Jokes be writing themselves,' a fourth commented.

'That was likely a TD too. Wild drop,' a fifth pointed out. Community Notes are undefeated.

Samuel has caught 43 of 71 targets this season for 569 yards and a touchdown in 13 games. Like Samuel, the reigning NFC champions have struggled with a 6-8 record, sitting at the bottom of the NFC West.

After his episode on X, Samuel doubled down on his comments on Tuesday.

'You read what you read,' Samuel said, per ESPN. '[I'm] a little frustrated for sure.'
