As in the 49ers may need an IV after this one, to keep them on playoff life support. This is either the beginning of the end of the Harbaugh era, or the end of the beginning of this shitty start to the 2014 season. I, along with many others, saw these early games as mere tests to our depleted defense that would be overcome by our newly retooled offense. Funny thing is, though, the NFL, in all it’s glory, decided to institute new rules around line play and WR rules. Which was seemingly designed to slow down Seattle’s constant harassing of WRs, most notably, Denver’s in the Super Bowl, Seattle had the temerity to slow down Pyeton Manning’s passing attack. Verboten, in the eyes of Herr Goodell. The fallout from that was the apparent referee revenge on a 49er team that is extremely physical and hard-hitting. Recent case being two 15 yard penalties on Dan Skuta and Patrick Willis, which both proved to be legal hits as neither were fined. Anything remotely close to being a penalty has been called on us. Harbaugh redux, or merely kicking big dog when he’s down? Don’t know. Don’t care. But these penalties have been a BIG hindrance in these last two losses, and they need to figure the boundaries and stay within them. If not, this team could very well see themselves looking at a very tough road to even reach the WC. 1-3 and the division is pretty much gone. And we’re on;y at the quarter pole.
Beyond that, this is the second opportunity to win a game in their shiny new stadium. Philly comes in seemingly matching the Niners style of play by falling behind early, and zooming back to victory. The Niners of course have zoomed ahead to leads while coughing them up late. Philly surely doesn’t defend the run or pass well, and is having trouble running themselves due to a decimated O line, so one would think the Niners can attack on the ground and in the air. The key for the local team is to keep the ball away from Chip and Philly’s offense and score TDs when they get the change. I woud love to see the Niners get on top of a team and then keep the hammer down and win going away, but I just don’t know. I think we turn the page back a little and stop ;the 5 WR formations and get back to a more traditional 2-3 WR offense that doesn’t telegraph our intentions.
Tell ya one thing, Philly loves to attack with 3 WRs all day, so our safeties have to do a much better job of communicating downfield. Could be a barnburner. Course that usually means a 12-9 game.
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
Heard a great stat this morning on the Colin Cowherd show. The Eagles have only beaten Jacksonville and teams (IND, WAS) whose lone win this year came vs Jacksonville.
Paper Tigers?
Charlie Weis got shit-canned this morning from Kansas. You heard it here first. If Jimbo and Roman leave together Weis will be our new OC. Still haven’t figured out a HC just yet. But I tell ya one thing. If they pry David Shaw away from Stanford, I’m done watching this team.
Don’t hate on Charlie. Nobody can coach those yahoos in tornado alley.
6-22 is 6-22 regardless of weather and location.
Spitblood, I say that because the secondary has to adjust to formation shifts and receivers stemming their routes, on the fly. That requires either somebody yelling out a keyword or knowing their teammates’ likely adjustments from experience. Since this secondary doesn’t have experience playing together I give the benefit of the doubt that the stadium was loud and they couldn’t hear each other.
Could be they suck either way but I’d rather hope for the best. Unlike Martin where that hope was all but gone in the pre-season and vanished with the first games. Who in the hell keeps him in there giving up the right side of the o-line?
Carlos Hyde should make his mark in this one. If we can knock-off the fucking penalties we gotta shot.
Yeah, the closer we get, the (tiny bit) better I feel. Philly’s defense is weaker than ours. But again, it’s all about taking advantage of what they see out there. We should be able to run and pass on these guys, so there’s the opportunity to control the clock.
Hey, Spit! How’s your Raider prediction looking right about now?
They’re a complete joke. Dennis Allen won’t survive the plane ride back. He’d be better off jumping out sans parachute.
I still like McKenzie but his pickup of Schaub and his pick of Carr are curious to me. I’d be building a dominate front 7. Dennis Allen sucks, but sometimes, from a drafting perspective, that helps your team. But I admit I was wrong about their progress this year.
Aaron Rodgers said everyone should just relax. 38-17 > Chicago. 4 TD passes thru 3 quarters. I think Rodgers is relaxed.
And we lost to the Bears.
Cutler’s working on his best imitation of Kaepernick at home.
Why is Geno Smith still playing QB for the Jets? I hate to admit it, but they should be playing the Puppy Killer. Rex Ryan is as good as gone.
You guys want Rex after Jimbo exits? That would be a hoot.
49ers inactives
QB Josh Johnson
OL Dillon Farrell
OL Marcus Martin
CB Tramaine Brock
WR Quinton Patton
DL Tank Carradine
TE Vance McDonald
Maybe Tank can sack Foles when he runs out of bounds today. That’s *if* he’s not too busy with his coloring book.
What a waste.
Jimmy Ward sucks. Celek beats him by five yards. Celek. That’s not a fast receiver. That’s a tight end.
Christ, you never win spot challenges unelss they are blatant.
Then again, no penalties.
Did we trade Vernon “false start” Davis yet?
Our OL blows. The Eagles even got great pressure play before rushing only 3.
We suck.
Nice special teams units. Lol.
Wow. No running at all. Blitz sack vblocked kick. Great line play.
This team is tuning out Harbaugh. They are all pass all the time now., Lose Gore and you’ve lost the team.
And our ST sucks as well. Say hello to 6-10. Bye-bye Bo Schembechler Jr™
This team can’t pick up a blitz to save its life. Rush 4 and they get in.
1-4…… and Harbaugh looking for greener pastures else where. And now we’re stuck with Baalke and Tomsula. Kaepernick’s gotta be happy.
Whomever said Bo Schembechler Jr™ was losing the locker room was spot on.
Or you’re over-reacting, which drunks tend to do….
I think Lee kicked the ball right into Skuta’s ass. Comical.
Gore gains 15 then we pass again. Did we fire Bo Schembechler Jr™ yet?
Of course a penalty negates that 1st dn.
Bad call or not. We suck.
Bad call on the pick and nobody cares because the refs are sending Harbaugh a message….
2 defenders hit each other and thats on us??
nice snag by Lloyd. Why didn’t Kap throw it away?
He’s going to get killed. Too much running.
Wait, I thought Harbaugh was losing the locker?
Kelly should have declined and made it 3rd dn.
Come back to haunt him.
Kap had all day. No one was open?
Another RZ opportunity ends with a FG.
And that’s why you don’t pay hold outs.
The only way the 49ers know how to play is smashmouth, up the gut, ground and pound. That’s what Harbaugh is about to go back to. Anthony Davis is crushing people. If the 49ers’ D can make a stop, this offense is going back to running.
No pass rush, no 3rd down stop.
Huh. A little pressure.
Good stop on defense for the 49ers. Now go ground and pound behind Anthony Davis all the way down the field, rotating Hyde and Gore. Then sprinkle in an occasional play action…. not read action mind you, play action.
coverage team got a lucky break though.
No Cory Lemonier. Niners going with Aaron Lynch and Ahmad Brooks. Starting to get pressure. Lemonier sucks.
2 of my 3 Young Turks kickin’ arse in their first chance today, Bridgewater and Bortles.
Anthony Davis down. Enter Jonathan Martin. Team looked good after blocked punt…. until Davis went down…. yeah, it’s the coaches…. whatever. Gotta have the horses.
How many times have I said this…. I love Frank Gore.
Yeah, take Gore off the field.
Wilhoite can’t blitz, but Cox is playing well on the deep ball.
My boy, Nick Moody, with great special teams play.
I can’t believe this; we’re in the lead because our D is dominating the Iggs.
The 49ers are winning because of Gore. And let’s not forget, the Eagles are slow starters.
Ian Williams can play. Dial looks more like RJF.
I double can’t believe this; Cox is the one guy in our secondary I trust.
Damn! Martin whiffed on a half-assed tackle attempt.
Somebody should bully that guy.
and whoever brought him here.
And how. He’s horrid. Where’s Adam Snyder went you need him?
Jesus… Kaep didn’t even see Jenkins. Nice read and play Kaep. Run the ball behind Gore for the rest of the day.
Kap was LOCKED onto Lloyd there. Just turrible. And even more turrible was the tackling after the INT. That shouldn’t have been returned for a TD.
Pretty pretty pretty pretty bad.
Kap continues to throw off his back foot across the field. Eventually that’s going to bite him in the ass.
We can’t pass block for shit. They’re killing us with simple zone blitzes and even blitz looks.
Kaep looks like shit. Another punt almost blocked. No punt coverage. That’s on Baalke. No special teams. Eric Reid hurt.
That pass was high and wide. Two completions were behind. Where’s ALEX?
Poor throw. Boldin was open. Bring in Gabbert.
How bout our ST!!!!!
We suck.
It was just a matter of time before our gutted special teams started to fail us. That’s on Baalke.
Another whiffed tackle by Martin on the return.
Eagles O hasn’t scored yet.
This is a bad football team and it’s not because the players are quitting or our coaching staff. This is a bad roster, and a bad football team.
No offensive line protection, no kick coverage, and no secondary. Can’t win with that.
1-4 season over.
Anybody remember the Niners had the lead a moment ago? Seems like a loooooong time.
They’re picking on Knuckles.
Jimmy Ward sucks. Nice pick, Baalke.
Nice new stadium though…
I still can’t believe you knuckleheads don’t see this mostly Trent Baalke’s fault. No special teams because of Baalke, no secondary, and no O line depth… but we got a 2 million dollar backup qb.
We don’t share your blinding bias?
Why sure, I’d love to. No special teams, no secondary and no depth online the offensive line…. but hey, we’ve got a 2 million dollar backup qb.
Oh, I thought you said, “Why.” You don’t? You’ll see.
Yeah, Dennis, this team is quitting on Harbaugh. LMAO. Whatever. This team isn’t quitting. It just has too many weaknesses because of the way the team was built this year.
Harbaugh just quit on himself. Take a knee? What’s the fucking downside of throwing a Hail Mary and getting a flag on the play? I’ll tell you. None.
Did we fire Bo Schembechler Jr™ yet?
Whatever. The man has no quit. Too much pride. You give him a handful of shit and he’ll keep on tickin’. And Baalke handed him a handful of shit.
Taking a knee was the epitome of pussification. Taking a fucking chance.
What do we know about this 49er team thus far?
1.) This team isn’t quitting on Harbaugh like Del is desperately hoping.
2.) Our special teams suck.
3.) Jonathan Martin is embarrassingly horrible.
4.) Jimmy Ward is getting beaten like a drum.
5.) Trent Baalke built a shitty team with a ton of holes.
6.) At least we have a 2 million dollar backup qb.
7) Bo Schembechler Jr™ is a fucking pussy.
8.) Del is getting drunk.
9) just to set the record straight. I’m NOT drinking today. Have an early doc apt. in the morning. Can’t show up hungover —- again. 😛
Matt Cassel went on IR on Thurs. but got Wally Pipped today. Teddy Bridgevelt is a stud.
Now Goodell and the NFL comes out with with “No More” shit regarding domestic violence and sexual assault. How bout No More fucking Roger. I hate him almost as much as Jimbo.
Vernon is a fucking pussy as well.
WTF did I say when we acquired both Gabbert and J. Martin? Two fucking pussies who would make this team soft. Remove them from our team as once. They’re worse than cancer.
Fucking 3 man rush forces Kap to roll right and throw inc.
He’s turning into Alex.
We love Cox!!!!!!!
I CAN’T GET ENOUGH COX!!!
This offensive line is dogshit. Frank Gore is the only thing that works.
Big break on that holding call. This league is a joke.
Kap missed Crabtree big time.
He’s worried about the pressure.
Kaep is horrible today…. but it’s because of the offensive line. You start worrying about your line-mates and then you’re less accurate.
Can’t get enough Johnson either! Cox and Johnsons!!!!!!
Not sure why you’d not go for two there. 1 or 2 point game makes limited difference. Try to tie it up.
SF offense 20, Minn offense 0
No call on Reid hitting J. Matthews. Breaks on calls going our way today…
Inside the 5 yard chuck zone.
We’re back to 1 WR sets. Robaugh’s in their happy place.
Looney for Staley? At least we have a 2 million dollar backup.
Harbaugh playing for the FG. Fucking pussy.
Are you sure you’re not drinking?
Trust me. I wish I were.
The 49ers have scored all the points in this game. We scored our 23, and their 21.
Stranger than fiction.
That was a horrible throw by Foles. Did someone hit his arm?
A couple first downs away
My Chargers are awesome this year. Yes, MY Chargers. I picked ’em to go to the Super Bowl.
One of my herd of brothers went to SDSU back in the 70s. Dennis thinks I’m a Raider Nation guy, but I’ve been fond of the Chargers for a long time. Fouts went to friggin’ Bellarmine, though, a damn Bell for chrissakes, so I never rooted for them then.
Foles has really bailed us out today. He’s been turrible. But as Mike Tyson would say, I’m ecstatic about our defense. Great job all around.
Why take the timeout there, Kaep?
Kaep is lost.
WTF was that? Blow another TO. Pussy Bo Schembechler Jr™ wasn’t going to actually go for it on 4th dn. We suck.
4th and 2 from mid field with this score? I would hope not.
Lol. It’s funny…. still funny.
Colin Kaepernick is pissing me off. Terrible football game for him.
You guys are morons
Who’s dumber? The moron or the moron who’s willfully reading this? We have no choice. Run while you still can.
Spit, I’ve had like 12 cups of coffee an my Vicodin. I’m still very much impaired today. Just not from the alcohol.
The government has you right where it wants you.
3rd and 7 and Bo Schembechler Jr™ plays for the FG again.
Fuck him.
I thought it was first and five?
That’s like the 4th overthrown deep ball by Foles. He’s been our MVP today.
Did he catch that? Wow.
No TOs left if we need a quick score down 3.
Think we lose this challenge. We’ll be out of TOs.
How’s your theory that Harbaugh’s losing the locker room?
Only a couple minutes left.
I knew it!!! I knew we could do it!!!!
How do you say full of shit in moron?
uh… um….. Del Mar Dennis?
I was right about two things…. run the ball and no blitzing.
Well, maybe, unless you consider the game plan was pass and only turned to the run when Harbaugh lost confidence in Kaepernick to put the game away.
On second thought, all your predictions of doom and gloom wipe out anything that may have occurred by coincidence.
I was sure I’d see a designed run for Kaepernick there.
