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.
Forty Niners Forever 
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.
