Hmmm. This one is a real head-scratcher. The best offense goes against the leakiest pass defense? Aaron Rodgers gets to shred our ineffective pass rush and mysteriously non-existent defensive backs? Our suddenly crappy passing game tries to unbury itself from the dregs of the worst game in oh, the last 10 years? 20? And that’s saying something seeing as some the stiffs that have wandered through the team lo these past 10 have been terrible.
I think these guys will play a better game. And I think they can even win, given the fact that they aren’t as bad as that AZ game, and they ARE at home. Realistically though our D is swiss cheese, and the cheeseheads want to exact revenge. We’ve been the bearer of a lot of bad news to GB in recent memory, knocking them out of the playoffs a couple times, and smoking them in the regular season as well. All with CK as the QB to win those games. (another hmmm) So they want to hurt us.
No there no moral victories in football, but really now. If this team gets smoked in another disastrous-type game like the last two, there will be some major grumblings around 4949 Centennial Blvd. For all everyone’s talk about the goodness or badness of the team, another blowout will be hard to stomach. Yeah, the line is banged up and shakey. At some point though, you’d think the coaches would say move Boone back to RT, or get Shareece Wright at least somewhere near the field. They need to work on the line to get CK some time in the pocket. GB is 11th in pass defense, so maybe we can run to set up the pass. I don’t know. I see a better game, but not enough to win.
Forty Niners Forever 
I’d be happy to see something close to organized football.
After watching a few good looking Drives in Pittsburgh fizzle in the Red Zone, it’s been a disaster since.
For all the angst surrounding Kaep in AZ, I’m putting more on the Coaching this week.
Time for a wrinkle or 2 that hasn’t been on the game films through the 1st 3 weeks.
TEs/RBs in the passing game perhaps?
Reggie, VMcD, ANYBODY?
One way to slow Clay Matthews down is to force him into coverage.
If he’s his usual blitz-happy self, throw to his vacated area.
I’m more concerned with our ability to slow down Rodgers when we’re on D.
What’s the word on this out West?
Heard rumblings but, this is the first I’ve seen regarding a named female and a Chipotle photo op.

The word is “bullshit” NJ.
Good 12th.
The QB has enough to handle without losing locker room cred over a woman.
The D has to show up. If they do then there will be a game. Hope springs eternal ……
You’re right Nipper.
Talk about Kap covers the bigger problem, the D gave up 90+ points.
Well, the pick 6s weren’t on the defense but thats still 74 points in 2 games, but yeah, the D is my biggest concern. Especially going up against Aaron Rodgers.
OK picky guy: 93 points scored against the Niners, less 12 on Kap, 81 points on the D.
My bad.
Those extra points count . . . 79.
This protection of the real problem is the real problem. There you go Chuck, “Post of the Day” Yes Tomsula stinks and had no business being promoted and Jed either doesn’t care or he’s incompetent to run a football team either way we’re doomed. He’s a Line Coach nothing more you evaluate and make an educated hiring you don’t just promote within the losing ranks. Kaepernick is the right up there as a huge problem though some of you want to skate around this fact.
In the National Football League the quarterback is the only position player to be credited with a record of wins and losses as a starter period. Tom Brady holds the record for the highest winning percentage amongst the top 50 quarterbacks with the most wins in NFL. Yes Defense is very important but one position and one position only solely responsible for putting the football in the end zone is the Quarterback position, why I have to explain this is a mystery to all.
I think we can bury the notion that Kap is an elite QB. Cardinal’s safety Tony Jefferson said last week that’s why they wanted Kaepernick to throw because they thought it was his weakness. It seems everyone outside the 49er fan base gets it but the base it’s self. This taking years to figure out that a QB simply doesn’t have what it takes to be a great one is baffling. This may tickle Jed York’s feathers but it’s a waste of precious time to a concerned fan.
Now I’m off to church I’ll say a little prayer for everyone here.
re.
What a pile of dog shit you are Vagina. Constantly slanting to suit your view point and facts be damned.
Here’s a clue for you.
You are not smarter than other people. You are transparent. The problem for you is you are so dense and enamored with yourself this completely escapes you.
Hence you being shunned every blog you go on.
Take a minute or two to let that sink in.
12th Man, the problem you have is you don’t want to hear anything other than what you want to believe. See the difference between you and me is I don’t care what you say I respect your opinion as well as everyone who thinks like you do. I don’t get offended and I don’t believe in silencing people only because they have a different point of view.
Thank God that we’re all different remember a person whose house is only open on the west can’t see the sun rise at dawn, it’s only seen when the sun sets at dusk. If one tries to compare the color and appearance of the two, one will go on arguing forever…
The fault lies not with the vision but with the closed windows. If you look out of only one opening till the day you die, you’ll ever see anything new.
Peace be with you my friend.
I am still a believer in any given Sunday. The problems that I see is that we don’t have one cohesive unit on the team. It is real likely to get ugly today. I remember one year in the 60’s where we couldn’t win a game for anything, we lost to just about everyone except the fucking Colts who were tearing up the league. For some reason we could beat them. Any given Sunday.
Steve Young SB year the team easily won almost every game but got killed by the Eagles that year.
Any given Sunday.
The Niners would be better served with Al Pacino as their HC and Jamie Foxx at QB. “Any Given Sunday” This team needs to be Oliver Stone(d) to death.
One thing I wanted to mention if I ever got a working computer again. The Falcons and Panthers could conceivably put up 12 to 16 wins this year. Their schedules are unbelievable. Let’s see: They get the AFC South and NFC East. The AFC South should be banned from the league even with a good Colts team, and so far they’re not. The NFC East can’t get out of its own way. In their own division, they’ve got the Saints, who suck, and the Bucs.
That’s insane. Carolina handicapped itself by winning the division last year; they get the Packers and Seahawks. Atlanta, by contrast, gets the Niners and Bears.
In addition, the Falcons already beat the Cowboys and Giants, two teams that may have beaten them. Their remaining schedule is a cakewalk. They may easily start the season 9-0 before they face a potentially quality opponent.
With a schedule like that, I wouldn’t have picked the Niners to go 5-11. But they play the Norths, huge difference. The Falcons and Panthers will likely both waltz into the playoffs, the winner having a bye week.
Yeah, we got no breaks from our schedule thats for sure.
Until we get Kilgore back, I fear the line will be shitty. Even with him back they will still have problems. But at this point all we can hope for is incremental progression. They have a couple winnable games after this so getting to 3-3 til we get a little healthier would be a good thing.
The Bears are 8-11 on 3rd downs. They should be smoking the Raiders but for the fumbles.
But… fumbles?
I’ve heard of those somewhere 😀
The Raiders are so fun to watch with Carr and Amari, it almost takes me back to the Plunkett days. Carr is a damned promising soph QB. Too bad they’re going to LA. They draft some D and they will be a contender.
My boy Taylor Mays is on them now. First a good Bengals team, now the Raiders in his 6th year, he’s been far from a bust. I don’t know what’s up with Aldon; he just doesn’t look like the impact player he was.
If Niners lose today, I can see them maybe winning one more game (home v. Ravens) before the bye week 10. That would be a 2-7 horrendous start. Look at the schedule. There are no cupcakes, except maybe the team from Santa Clara. if it turns even close to that, I’d go for a 3-13 and a chance to pick Goff…
The Giants?
Giants are winning today over Bills, and Bills have been good…
Frank does it again. Gore fumbled into the endzone for a touchback, costing the Colts 7 points and the lead. That’s twice this year, and the first one helped cost the Colts a win.
Missing Gore is not a cause of Niner issues, for sure…
Fricking Bears are going conservative. They are dominating this game in everything but the score.
One thing the Bear WRs do is push downfield before coming back for the stick route. It creates space.
I thought the Raiders just committed a stupid TO. Cutler’s pick was just worse.
The Raiders’ back has turned over the ball twice. Not a good day.
Crabs is kickin’ butt, doing what he should have been doing all these years. As a #2, he can focus on first down possession catches, which is what he does best.
Sea Bass does it again! Will a 1 pt. lead hold for the last two minutes? This could be a very nice winning team-type road win for the up and coming Raiders.
Nope. Too bad, the D couldn’t hold. I don’t understand the cornerback coverage with time ticking away, giving Cutler the short sideline throws. Oh well.
Stupid. Though the Bears were doing that a lot all day.
Gould with the boot . . . Crazy game in Chi-town. Bears off the scheid . . .
6 lead changes….
Woo hoooo . . . . free-for-all kick return. That was almost awesome.
NY Giants stuff Buff. Didn’t see what happened.
The Bills got called for a zillion legit penalties at bad times. Taylor was off, and their offense followed his lead. They were just outplayed, didn’t look like the good team they were the first three weeks at all. Great game by the Giants D.
Thanks. Buff has a habit of fading in crunch time. We’ll see if they’ve been figured out.
Raider fans can go back to being pessimistic for a week. Meanwhile, lets see if Niners can keep Rodgers under 5 TDs today. I like Aaron because he’s a great QB and from Cal, but he’s ticking me off with this dissing of Cal — he says now he’s from Butte College — because he’s still PO’d that Cal fired Tedford. That’s just weak…
Hard to believe Kappy is 3-0 against Rodgers. Bakkenbullit is going to have a field day with this one.
Skins are 2-2. Philly 1-3. Giants are 2-2. Dallas? 2-1 and injured.
Strange division.
Here goes nuthin’.
