Journey Through the Past? Back to the Future? Return to Forever? Well, anyhoo Colin Kaepernick, newly freed from his injury-guaranteed contract, is magically healed and ready to play despite the talk that he needed to bulk up and get more ready. I guess a 1-4 record doesn’t engender confidence in the guy who was supposed to be better than CK.
Either way, I guess we get to see what I thought could be interesting oh so many months ago when Jimmy Bag-of-Donuts farted his way out of the locker room. And that is for Chip Kelly and Colin Kaepernick play their style of up-tempo football. Whether it’s one, done, and dash remains to be seen, but bet your bottom dollar that Kappy will get 10 x the scrutiny that the 33rd best rated AB in the NFL did.
And therein lies the rub. Colin and his kneeling for the anthem actually has generated a lot of talk, and controversy around the country, and even the world. He himself, then team, and one of his teammates have donated a cool mill each to various inner-city charities, so there’s that. So, whether you agree with the protest, it has done some good.
Oh yeah. The game? Shit, I don’t know. Buffalo on the road? Rex Ryan and his hard-hitting D? It’s pretty tough spot to put Kappy in, but there’s nothing easy about being an NFL quarterback. Trial by fire I suppose. The biggest difference between last year and this is the line is nominally playing better in the passing game. They were doing fine until last week’s debacle and subsequent passing every down and cratering.
Buffalo famously shit-canned OC Greg Roman, and for some reason the defense got better. And, shockingly the run game as well under Tony Lynn. Then again they have beaten the Rams, the Brady-less Pats, and the Cards. They did lose to the Jets (?!?). Who knows. Tough roadie for sure.

How about some good crying sound effects from someone. That would be a nice touch to this thread.
Not worth it to me Nipper.
The sound of Jed being dragged out of the facility, kicking and screaming, would be far more enjoyable to me 😀
Sorry Jed – Gotta go…..
Hey Jed – Jim Tomsula on Line 1 –
Cute babies……..nice conclusion to this busted day.
Poor Jed must be in the fetal position sucking on his thumb waiting for his mother to call with advice. Sniff…….BOO HOO!

Lowest @PFF grades on #49ers offense: Zane Beadles, Colin Kaepernick, Daniel Kilgore, Mike Davis. Only positive grade: Quinton Patton.
I don’t think Kap did any better than Gabbert, maybe worse. I thought if Kap got time to throw he would do a much better job. Instead he didn’t even complete half his throws. The wind didn’t bother the Bills QB, just ours. At least he didn’t look as bad as Eric Reid. What is going on with that guy, he has played well for a while. He’s up for a big contract this off season and he doesn’t look worth it right now.
Meant to say ‘he hasn’t played well for a while’.
He hasn’t played for a while. Come on, Bergs, he’s playing to get out of here.
Sure looks like it.
Time to move on. The QB doesn’t play D. The Niners problems are upstairs. They just don’t have a clue about putting a team together. It’s a skill an organization must have. Are the coaches at fault? Perhaps but when you’re this bad the fault usually lies elsewhere. Trent will have to walk the plank and the sharks are circling beneath. Chomp!
New thread is up.
A tale of two halves again. 5 games in a row the Niners have had a decent first half and a disastrous second half. That is coaching, no question. I have to believe O’Neil is about to be fired. His D scheme is ok at the back end but horrible in the front 7. The same players are prepared with scripted plays and designed D first half and there is no counter punch for the other teams adaptions.
Kap, despite the stats, did play better than Gabbert. They were competitive in the first half despite some poor throws, at least the Bills D had to respect the deeper ball.
