The Final Countdown

In a game that was supposed to be an important one, the only importance attached to it now is to see if the Super-Bowl-aspiring-at-the-beginning-of-the-year 49ers can avoid the ignominy of dropping to 7-9. At crunch time at 7-4, the Niners closed the season-in-balance with what very well may be a 5 game losing streak. All the while looking lost and pathetic on offense.

AZ on the other hand is still fighting for a 1st round bye, or at least the division crown. Seattle has the edge right now anyway, and both games will be happening at the same time, so there will be some scoreboard watching by those teams. AZ is in a QB quandary as Logan Thomas played so well in practice they named Davis Lindley their starter.

Don’t see too much chance in AZ for a win. 7-9. Harbaugh out. Let the countdown begin at 4:45 PST.

    You and others told me for 3 months why we should not draft Benjamin. You missed badly. We need Funchess. Think red zone. Your homework is only for if Funchess is off the board.

    • NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

      Benjamin went before we had a shot at him too, didn’t he?
      I had no beef with Benjamin other than his lack of experience.
      As far as a Red Zone threat sure, Funchess is a viable target, no debate.

      I was lukewarm with Sanu and Alshon Jeffery too.
      Neither of those 2 is lights out either.
      Good #2-types certainly.

      If we’re spending a higher RD1 Pick, we’d be smarter to be thinking a clear cut #1.
      But, as we know, WRs are highly unpredictable.

      • NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

        If I had to cast a vote for a TE right now, I’d be inclined to look more closely at Clive Walford from Miami.
        He’s likely going to be around in RD3 since he’s had a knee procedure from the looks of it.

        But, there’s months of processes to go through at this point.

  2. NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

    What you’d like to have happen is what the Broncos did with Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas.
    2 studs that came in the Mid RD area.

    If I’m a GM, spending RD1 money, I’d be more inclined to seek a position that doesn’t carry a high bust rate.
    But then again, that’s the name of the game for Pro Scouts/GMs.

  3. NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

    Berger if you had the choice of Funchess or NT Danny Shelton right now, which guy wins your vote?

    • Berger's avatar Berger says:

      Shelton is a good talent but he has bad technique. I like him but would wait to see if he is available in rd 2. Funchess fills two spots, WR and TE. As a WR he is probably a 2nd rd pick, as a TE he is a 1st rd pick.

    If the Niners lose this one it will be a sad end to the Harbaugh reign. Look at the posts made about a 7-9 team right here on this blog. In a way we’re all suckers. So much thinking about such an underperforming team. This is a classic case where they Head Coach became too damn important and the team less so. Harbaugh is going to Michigan by all accounts. Goodriddance to an overrated weird guy. I can’t believe all the weird personalities that have been Niner Head Coaches over the years. It amazes me how these personalities somehow convince others they’re worthy of their positions.

      Classic, you calling someone weird. Don’t forget that the weird guy turned the franchise around.

    Confirmed Harbaugh is going to Michigan

    I think Crabs will go, but I hope we can salvage some kind of deal with VD if we can get some kind of offensive type coaching staff in place.

    My hope is they make a decision quickly while there are a lot of candidates out there. Got to wait for the playoffs (and bowl games) to happen tho.

  7. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    Berger – usually I agree with you on most things but in my mind we need some New, really nasty OLinemen. We need some really good pass blocking linemen that can protect our qb. At the moment we have lots of bodies but I don’t believe many of them will be back. I think we bolster both lines before we do much of anything else. We need linebackers too. we can get most everybody else off of FA

    • Berger's avatar Berger says:

      Winder- I’m only talking about 1 pick. A play making TE is a valuable commodity. You know me, if we draft a D-lineman I am always happy! I’m a Kap fan but I would even be OK drafting a QB. First things first, we need a coach. When Roman is gone I will be the happiest man around.

  8. It took Chase Daniel just a little over one quarter to accomplish something that Alex Smith couldn’t do all year — throw a TD to a WR.

    Alex Smith and his lacerated spleen remain utter garbage.

  9. Chase Daniel is 9/9 for 82 yds. Alex is in danger of losing his starting job again.
    I guess they changed that TD ruling to a fumble recovery for Kelce in the EZ. No worries. Dollars to donuts Chase will find a WR for an official score before it’s done.

    Lacerated spleen? Let that be a lesson to all the kids out there. This is what years of checking down will lead to.

    AD again

    :http://www.csnbayarea.com/49ers/49ers-tackle-anthony-davis-bids-farewell-harbaugh

    In a nut shell, he thanks and respects Harbaugh, he likes Roman as a person but when asked about Roman as a pro, silence. Anyone really believe only AD has this opinion?

  11. I haven’t seen a rookie WR like Odell Beckham Jr. make this big an impact his first year. This is only his 12th game, too. But the funny thing is if he played for the Niners he’d be lucky to catch 3 balls a game.

  12. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    The KNBR doofs were calling for Shanahan & Son to come in and take over the reins. Seriously? They did so well with DC, and that other running QB…

  13. Who woulda thunk after we throttled DAL in Week 1 that they’d go 12-4 and we’d be staring 7-9 square in the eye?

    How bout dem Cowboys!

  14. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    Apparently most of the rest of the coaching staff is under contract for 2015. This will be interesting as a new HC comes in. IMO they need only a new OC, and of course HC and QB coach. Seely can go, too. The other ones that coached the team to 3 straight NFC champ games and into a SBowl didn’t get stoopid all of a sudden. Big turnover in player personnel, too. 1/2 the team will be changed out, or more. Maybe they can finally get a WR burner? That would be a start…

    Wow. Sucked and fucked on a jr high flag football play.

  16. That opening drive by the D was flat-out abysmal. We already lost to Drew fucking Stanton, might as well add Ryan Jesus H. Christ Lindley to the list as well.

    Did we fire Jim Harbaugh yet?

  17. 12th Man's avatar 12th Man says:

    So that’s what good play calling looks like!

  18. 12th Man's avatar 12th Man says:

    Took the pressure off the QB and hit the home run with the flea flicker.

    Hopefully Roman has a finale to remember.

  19. 12th Man's avatar 12th Man says:

    Nicely done Kap

  20. Craig Dahl with another sure tackle — after he gives up the reception for another 1st dn.
    That’s a helluva system Dahl has for himself to rack up tackles.
