If I hear another presser from Chip Kelly praising his QB, I’m going to buy a pitchfork and a few torches. By just about every measure, Gabbert sucks. He has had a much cleaner pocket than Kaepernick ever had, and he still misses wide open guys and throws killer picks. He missed two passes in the 1st quarter that would have netted 80 yards at least and cost us a TD. Yeah, there were drops, and can we find a TE that can catch? But other than that, even in this game Gabbert had a clean pocket and had some nice passes through most of it, until the Niners were in desperation mode.
Some don’t cut it though. Yeah, we turned the ball over. Yeah, Hyde made a very stupid move in flexing (yeah, spearing is OK, dying in the streets of undiagnosed CTE is OK, but show some emotion? Fuck you. Two get you thrown out) as it led directly to the turnover on the tipped pass, and subsequent TD., and yeah, we fucked up again by roughing the kicker on a FG, and fumbled a kickoff.
Even still, the Niners got the score to 21-14 as the 3rd quarter ended. They even got the ball back. But just like the Dallas game, Gabbert threw a horrible INT to give the game away. AZ didn’t look back. And yet another struggling team got healthy on us. That being said, AZ sucks. They are not going to even sniff the playoffs this year.
So I don’t want to hear anything from Chip other than “we have to make a change at the QB position.” 1 and fucking 4 is not anything that should keep Gabbert starting. These last two games were eminently winnable, and we had the lead in both of them, yet shoddy undisciplined play, turnovers, and highly questionable play calling led to the lead being pissed away. Even the fucking Carolina game, we had our chances despite mistakes.
Fuuuuuuuck this. I’m getting real frustrated.
Panik! Giants live for another day!!!
I hate to think it but the Cubs should finish off this version of the Giants. Too bad. At least they won last night in extra innings. KNBR is celebrating like they won the World Series. Those morning guys are a screwy bunch.
Meanwhile on the “other” blog, they’re so bored with the Niners their blog has turned political with Warmspit insulting everyone in sight. Apparently he’s more liberal than the rest so the insults are flying around thicker than flies in a horse stable.
Berger here’s another potential Fat Man in the Middle prospect –
Derrick Nnadi – FSU – 6’1″/312.
More of a run stuffer, strong as an Ox.
Only a Jr but, he could opt to enter the Draft next year,
