Losing my soul. I’d like to fly but my wings have been denied.
Well, this season is taking on an eerily similar tack as the 49ers were toyed with and humiliated by the Seattle Seahawks. As like last year, the 49ers beat a supposed up and coming team. Even more convincingly this year as we shut out the newly LAed Rams.
Also eerily familiar is the lack of doing much of anything in the passing game over 6 yards. He run game was stuffed all day minus one breakaway by Hyde when it didn’t matter at all. My thought was we would gamble a little more and take shots downfield with Torrey Smith. He has to be feeling sick right about now as the one pass he got was off line and good for 11.
The defense was flat not ready to play. 3 snaps, 75 yards, TD, the route was on. 3rd and 14 and we rush 3. Was I the only o e screaming at that scheme? That was it for me. I knew the rest of the game plan. Down by 3 touchdowns in the 3rd quarter? Run up the middle! 3 times in a row! There that gambling hipster. 4th and 2 down 14-3? Fuck going for it. Let’s miss the FG. It’s like Jimmy T came out of retirement to leave his stink on this game.
Again, check downs by our hapless QB. Dropped passes. No blitzing. We couldn’t stop the run despite the banged up Seattle line. Our LBs were nonexistent as they were washed out nearly every play. We couldn’t get pressure so a hobbled Wilson had a field day.
At this point the game plan looked like it was called to protect Gabbert from doing more damage than he did anyway. They need to get him out. Ponder? Kaepernick? I don’t give a shit. Gabbert has to go.
RT with a couple of gems to kick off Wednesday morning. Cheers.
I keep waiting for YYZ to follow Red Barchetta.

Never seen that Rush video before. talking Heads one is awesome. One of my favorite bands.
Examples of ineptness: The Millennium Tower in SF (sinking) and the 49ers (sinking).
Clueless in Santa Clara: 49ers FO. Jed sucking his thumb in his office while his team sinks.
RT- Thanks for the 4:41 post and the Rush. The only thing I can say about that is fine it’s hard to go downfield against the seahawks. But after failing to move the ball with the short scheme and continually going 3 and out one has to figure they know what you are doing and have adjusted to our game plan. I totally agree we don’t have the players who are good enough to make it work, but at some point you have to gamble and try to make something work. We just kept running into a wall. I don’t necessarily blame Chipski for that but he is where the buck stops. I would definitely like to see Baalky hit the road long before the Chipster.
Torrey Smith was brought here to go deep. Has he? Ginn had one deep catch in 3 years here. He had 6-7 with Carolina his first year there.
I’m not saying go all Daryle Lamonica, but shit you have to try it once in a while. A couple times a game anyway. Not once every 2 years.
In conclusion: BLEEP!
Woof!
Blame it on chronic imsomnia, guys. Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast.
Dez has a hairline fracture of his knee. I just listened to an orthopedic surgeon explain why that kind of hf is more like a bone bruise than a break. OK. That and 30,000,000 other reasons are why I’m not a doctor. In any case, he is physically able to play. The Cowboys would be nuts to do so but that’s another story.
Jerruh will insist he play and his HC will reply, “Yes Sir!”
