As the NFL inches closer to the real games in September, teams are supposedly playing their starters today more than any other fake fest. The problem with that is you have things like Sam Bradford, recently repaired QB of the resurgent Rams, going down to another knee injury on a hit by the Browns. Wes Welker was knocked out of a game by being knocked silly with a blow to the head. Something he’s had a few of. BJ Raji, NT of the Packers is out for the year with a bicep tear.
I get why Jimbo gets a little skittish putting his starters in these games for anything more than 2 series when you see things like this. Granted, scoring 3 points by the 1st string O is no great shakes, but then the 2nd and 3rd stringers get skunked, it sure doesn’t give Jimbo confidence that leading on the backups may not be a spiffy idea.
Andrew Luck played into the 3rd quarter, and was pummeled a bunch of times. Flacco is getting beat up in this game that I have no idea is taped or not. I;m thinking Kappy MIGHT make it into the 2nd quarter. For the supposed grumbling coming out of the Niner locker room about the grueling nature of practiice, the starters can’t reallyu complain on game day. .Unless your name is Jimmie Ward. He’s getting a ton of reps.
Anyhow, we get San Dawg, another team that we later play in the regular season. Will there be a few more heat-related deaths in the house that Jed-zeebub built? Will the grass flip over and die in the heat? Will the grass even stay put?
These questions, and more, will be answered, as the prolate spheroid rotates . . .
Forty Niners Forever 
Finally 3wrs
1 TE, 3 wide, slant, 1st 1st down. Coincidence?
Nice catch there da VincI!
The OL looks like complete horseshit.
Wow. Iupati is sucking.
Looks like we’ll see 3 wide only on 3rd down. So much for the new and improved O.
Well, the lack of pass rush is concerning. And this is with AldonSmith.
The new radio sidekick guy Tim Ryan keeps talking over Ted Robinson. They need to practice. Really annoying…
Craig Dahl couldn’t cover my ass with a hip replacement, three screws and a staple in one foot, and the other needing the same. He sucks.
We really do not look like we have a hint of a clue on offense.
Right. This may ratchet up the talks to getting Boone here.
Boone would help at guard, but he can’t also throw and catch and run and call plays. We have not done much of anything well on offense this August.
Wow. That was close, good catch but could have been a pick six.
Carlos Hyde is going to be good. He’s the best new player on the team.
Liguit is beating Iupati like a rug.
It’ll matter more when we play them in the regular season game.
Not too concerned about showing them much today.
Stay healthy and come out of this in one piece.
Did I hear right that they actually threw a pass to LMJ, a running back?
Gabbert vs Clemons.
What a barn-burner this is turning out to be.
Once again, Sam Bradford will miss another season.
Talk about an injury prone QB.
I think he’s missed more time than Run DMc.
Bradford out for the year for the Rams — torn ACL on same knee as last year. Rams are hosed.
Uh, Kap now clipboarding on the sidelines…
Shaun Hill might be better than Bradford anyway Snarkk.
Bradford pocketed $23+M for playing 7 games between ’13/’14.
He’s the last of those Cap busting Rookie Contracts.
For good reason.
Stevie Johnson finally gets mentioned – for lining up offside. I still don’t think we keep both Lloyd and Johnson – but which makes it might be a surprise.
