Can we play well enough at home? I’m losing faith after that flat performance last week.
28-16 Dallas. Hope I’m wrong.
That is all.

September 7, 2011 at 7:40 pm (Edit)
I see this Season starting with lots of motion and ground attack.
Our OL is going to take time to adjust to the new system, however, a WCO should help them once Alex and the WRs get into the necessary rhythm.
Game 1, lots of Gore and Hunter, 9ers win a close one. I do expect Harbaugh to take some deep shots though, VD and Braylon will be a nice duo.

Forty Niners Forever 
Haha, BF! Good one. I don’t harbor much confidence in either the Dodgers or the Rams. 4 straight division titles for the Dodgers is nice, but that’s about it : “nice”. They are a good, solid team that hasn’t been able to put it together in the postseason. If they can keep giving themselves chances, reeling off division titles like they have, eventually they’ll close the deal. Law of averages and all that good stuff. The Rams? They looked to be the worst team in the NFL on that 1st Monday night matchup against the sorry ass 49ers. Since that fiasco, Rams are unbeaten, taking down the Seahawks and the cards, both on the road, no less. But still, I don’t kid myself into thinking the Rams are one of the better teams in the League. They have an adequate defense to be sure, but they are not going far with Case Keenum at the helm.
Lambs deserve a Keenum
The Seattle game was in LA, genius.
Ah yes, they beat the bucs and the Cards on the road, back-to-back. The ‘Hawks they beat at home. My mistake, thanks for pointing that out!
Not paying much attention to the Niners these days. Looks like they’re on the road to about 5-11, if lucky, which is what I predicted. Could be down to 3-13, if the injuries pile up. This organization is going nowwhere without a QB, the most “duh” statement that can be made. Other than Baalke hasn’t figured that out yet. Niners will go nowhere until they cut Baalke, a guy who has absolutely no touch for getting offensive skill players…
We’re holding onto our slot in the Top 10 next April.
If injuries continue to pile up, we’re looking at the Top 5.
I’m still trying to understand WTF happens in the second half of these games thus far?
Is Chip this conservative or, is he simply a one-trick pony that everyone shuts down after halftime?
I expected first year growing pains with a new Staff but, we’re not showing any signs of adjustment on either side of the ball, week to week.
DLine is getting gashed vs the run..
OLine can’t seem to get a running game going and, Gabbert is simply inconsistent.
Pretty obvious that Toorey is simply too fast for Gabbert to reach when it matters.
Our Routes don’t appear to be very creative either.
Gabbert can’t complain about protection, he’s been given adequate time for the most part.
He’s simply not capitalizing when it matters.
Several gorgeous throws followed by hideous ones.
At this point, call me underwhelmed with the Chip Kelly Era.
Gabbert is missing guys wide open. Smith was an easy TD if he throws it down the middle. Smith was running a post and Gabbert threw it away from his route.
He’s fucking Steve DeBerg. Doing just enough to lose All we have to do is draft Joe ll behind him.
DeBerg played 22 seasons in the NFL and threw for 34,241 yards. Gabbert couldn’t hold his jock.
Flav, I haven’t heard but it sure looked like an Achilles. No one touched Bowman and he was pushing straight forward.
Armstead and now Buckner don’t seem to be doing much either rushing or run stopping. The LBs get washed out and boom 12 yards a carry.
Losing Williams is proving to be a killer. Dorsey is flat. Purcell is wildly inconsistent. The rest get dropped to the ground with regularity. Good pressure early that dried up as the game went on.
https://gfycat.com/ThickFrigidEnglishsetter
I swear to God, one guy at the Webzone was adamant that this was Torrey’s fault. SMDH
Fact is, the Safety got pulled left.
Torrey ran his route into that void.
Gabbert knows he blew it.
Fact remains, he’s wildly inconsistent.
Chip can’t consider him to be much more if he’s got his eyes open.
Oh no, NJ, he’s frighteningly consistent – 1 for 21 this season on passes over 20 yards. Just like JAX.
True. True RT.
I liken him to David Carr for that reason.
Once a QB becomes shell-shocked from playing behind poor OLines, it’s hard to avoid hearing footsteps I guess?
Watch Gabbert’s release on that throw.
He’s pulling up on the follow through.
Not quite a short-arm, but close.
Heard some commentary regarding the surprise QBs thus far, Wentz/Siemian and Prescott.
Suggested that they’re getting Coached by former QBs as a potential reason for early success.
Which is quite surprising to me that Harbaugh couldn’t get more out of Kaep.
Go figure?
What he did is not use his lower body enough to help his upper body.
Didn’t see your post, NJ, but yes, I think that’s exactly what he did. Just like a pitcher in baseball, a QB can’t try to aim his passes, it has to be a reaction that’s honed from countless hours of practice. That play tells me that Gabbert still doesn’t trust his skills enough to just let it rip.
This same idjut (troll?) is blaming Torrey for his 3 yards receiving. Torrey was open on a 3rd down play not long before this one but Gabbert threw short and incomplete to Kerley. It’s just bloody amazing how stupid Kap hate makes some people. I want to hire them so I can bet against them in Vegas.
Berger, after 4 games of Jim O’Neil Defensive scheming, I’m already poking around the 2017 Draft Class for my preferred Fat Man in the Middle.
Way too early for projections of course but, Star Lotulelei’s ‘little’ Brother Lowell is is playing for Utah and, is likely to be in the mix come April.
He’s definitely on my radar at this point – 6’2″/310 qualifies as a ‘Fat Man’ in my book.
STRENGTHS: Lotulelei sports a traditional Polynesian build with a powerful, well-distributed frame and relatively short limbs. This vending machine-like frame (along with balance and leg drive), helps Lotulelei anchor effectively against double-teams, making him a quality nose guard prospect for the next level.
Lotulelei is surprisingly quick off the ball and can split gaps, using his burst and an effective swim move to get into the backfield. Lotulelei can rag doll opposing offensive linemen with his strong hands and runners rarely escape his grasp. While lacking the agility and speed to chase down ballcarriers once outside of the tackle box, Lotulelei’s girth and strength help him clog up the middle, forcing opponents into the arms of other defenders on the perimeter.
WEAKNESSES: A man as strong as Lotulelei doesn’t come with a lot of “weaknesses,” but he does come with limitations, including the lack of burst and creativity as a pass rusher to ever offer much in this regard. Lotulelei’s short arms and marginal awareness in the passing game are reflected by the fact that he has just one pass deflected (and no blocked kicks) over his career.
Lotulelei generally resorts to simple bull rushes and he tires quickly. Though he’s remained healthy and productive throughout his first two seasons with the Utes, Lotulelei has yet to start a full season, earning the nod in nine of 13 possible games each of the past two years.
IN OUR VIEW: While Utes fans were probably delighted when Lotulelei opted to follow his older brother’s footsteps to the Utah, they may be hoping for a longer turn with Lowell than they received from Star, who played out his eligibility but only after playing his first year at Snow Junior College. If Lotulelei again opts to follow his brother in leaving Utah after his third season in Salt Lake City, the NFL will surely be interested.
In other musings behind my eyes, and between my ears, LoLo would seem to be a nice fit, as he’s already LOW 😀
And, Fitzpatrick with the NYJ tossed 3 more Picks vs Seattle today.
Making it 9 in the past 2 games.
I’m still open for a possible deal involving Kaep for Mo.
Hoping NYJ GM Mike Maccagnan can be persuaded to entertain the idea.
Keep MI State DT Malik McDowell on the radar too.
He’s gaining some attention as a Top DT Draft candidate too.
6’5″/282 is what’s being shown at this point.
Not much more to go on beyond that.
In conclusion: OUCH!
The season is young and as fans we’re already in a wait until next season mode. That’s when you know your team is not very good. The defense is weak and the offense is even weaker. And to top it off the front office is even weaker than both. On and off the field the Niners come up short. Just think of all the fools that waste their money at Levis. Those are the biggest fools in town.
Hey!
Losing Bowman is a big blow to our already not so good D and as the season goes on I am sure there will be more significant injuries. This is the one area that concerned me the most next to the QB spot. We have very little talent on the team and pretty much no backup quality. Losing Bowman is like losing your rudder. I don’t see another win all year. Maybe some teams will overlook us but maybe not.
I am pretty sure the FO is hoping the media continues to stick with the BLM movement band of Brothers so they don’t start writing about how this team is truly crummy.
The local media is either too entrenched to be anything more than pushovers, or they are the Cohn/Kawakami hatchet-men types.
This season lies at the feet of Trent Baalke. The talent on the team has been draining for years now. He has been drafting for defense for 6 years now and there is no improvement.
As of now we aren’t half bad at scoring, 15th in the league is a hell of a lot better than our scoring last year, which was dead last.
If anyone is hoping the spotlight doesn’t fall on him, it’s Trent.
The team is the sum of its parts. They have been losing and not replacing parts for years now.
We’d better bring Rush up, as we need someone who can get pressure. Our D line is flailing and inconsistent. Along with the offense and the special teams.
RT, re: the play on your GIF, it was on Gabbert but some of it is on Staley, too. Draughn going in motion and the play action to Hyde keeps the LBs out of the pressure. A four man rush blocked well except for the DE who beats Staley. Gabbert should have made the throw and taken the hit but Kaep or Alex wouldn’t have either.
Yes inconsistent…….offense, defense, front office, special teams and coaching. That’s the one thing that’s a constant is the price of beer. Throw in some parking and a little food and one can get a massive headache or heartburn. One big ouch!
If Gabbert throws that ball anywhere towards the post, it’s 6 points. Terrible throw. If looks to me like he was trying too hard not to overthrow it. It looks like he pulls his arm and doesn’t follow through. This is the NFL. Those kind of plays cannot be left on the field.
It looks to me that he did not have good fundamentals on the throw. He did use his lower body properly.

New thread is up.
The offense and Gabbert have been frustrating in large part because they show flashes of being good. You can’t deny those first 2 drives, in which they looked phenomenal. Gabbert made some amazing passes in the first quarter, especially the one to Celek on the right sideline.
Then he reverts to his bad Blaine form, throwing balls in the dirt, missing wide open guys downfield. If the O just flat out stunk all the way around, it’d be easier to take. The line is giving him a nice pocket to throw from, including on the botched post to Torrey, but they haven’t been run blocking for shit. Usually it’s the other way around because run blocking is easier for most OL. I don’t know if it’s drive or coaching or what, but these guys are good enough to open holes for Hyde, who’s running hard but has nowhere to go.
I don’t know who Jim O’Neil is, but his scheming so far has been dubious at best and he’s slow to make adjustments. Maybe it’s just the scheming, maybe it’s just the talent, likely it’s both. Losing Bow would be a killer to a defense already lacking cohesion.
One last thing, can anyone remember a season when the 49ers were NOT consistently vulnerable to screen passes? The entire stadium can see them coming but these guys play like they just rolled out of bed.
