This is my son and I yesterday at the game. While it is a vast improvement of my looks, I was surprised not to see more dissension. Must have had about 50-60 people ask to take our picture. Walking to my car, we got a lot of honks and thumbs ups.
Futile protest? Sure. But what else is there? Not going? My son wanted to see a game at the new digs, so we did it. Our last game was in 2013. Who knew that was the beginning of the end? At best the stadium was a little over half full. Even on the shady side. For a stadium that is brand new and a team that is 3 years removed from the NFC Championship game, this is a precipitous fall.
Bitch as you will about the QB situation, this team has so many holes it resembles Swiss cheese, minus the cheese. The ‘defense’ gave up another 150 + rushing performance to recent couch surfer Jaquizz Rodgers. And 250 total rushing yards on their way to 513 total these last TWO games.
As is with recent games, we seem to own the first quarter. The opening kickoff was a near perfect drive as Kaepernick and co drove 75 yards in 6 plays, with Kappy going 2-2 for 41 yards, and CK getting 7 on a run with Mike Davis sealing the deal with 12 yards and the score (plus a 15 yard headhunting call). The teams traded punts until Gerald Hodges picked off a tipped pass at the TB 38 and ran it to the TB 17. One play later it was 14-0 as CK fired a bullet to Shaun Draughns in the front corner of the end zone.
14-0 at the end of the first quarter. You know the rest. We were outscored 34-3 for the rest of the game. Kappy threw a stupid pick to kill a drive. VMcD was covered like a blanket and Kappy threw it to the DB. Streater killed the next drive with a drop on 3rd and 2. The high-powered Shit Chipper offense then started throwing 4 yard passes. all to no avail as the half ended.
Still and all, we were only down 17-14, and we stopped TB on their opening drive to the 3rd. Of course Mo and Kerley muff the punt giving the Bucs the ball back. Another potential drive was killed by a 15 yard drop by VMcD and the defense kept failing. The Niners get a little drive going, and elect to kick a FG, which I thought was stupid as it still left us down 2 scores. It looked even dumber when we gave up a 44 yard TD run to the TB mascot. And they don’t even have one.
In conclusion: Jed is a complete and utter waste as CEO of the 49ers. Faces can change but Jed will still be around. 49ers have no future only a past.
Damn Nip that’s some deep shit.
The message needs to be, it’s FOOTBALL Jed!
Stop with the Marketing BS, and homeage to The Faithful.
That came with, and because of, Eddie.
Focus on FOOTBALL!
Stability and dedication to the Team, like Eddie practiced, is how to succeed.
Homage, not homeage…
Looks like we made an injury settlement with Ian Williams.
Interesting.
Fat Man in the Middle coming?
Making room for a roster addition?
I’d let Armstead get that shoulder operation done now.
We ain’t going anywhere.
Get him repaired NOW.
NJ- The faithful have been around a lot longer than Eddie has. It’s easy to be faithful to a winner but for a losing franchise it takes a lot of love.
Winder I agree with you.
I’m a long distance Faithful.
I won a Faithful Tee Shirt from the Team too 😀
Pisses me off to see what the York’s have done to Eddie’s Legacy.
Jed worships the Glory Days, yet he’s clueless to see the obvious.
Eddie took care of his Team.
Perhaps it’s Denise and Dr York that control this, I don’t know.
Bottom line, they’re more concerned with Marketing than they are about football IMO.
Yeh, Baalke may suck but, what have they given him?
He (Baalke), brought them Harbaugh.
They gave him Paraag.
Nowhere along the way did they support the football Ops.
They succeeded at driving everyone away.
Stupidity.
Redefined.
My eldest Son proposed on the Jumbotron at Candlestick.
All my kids, and Grandkids, came home from the hospital in 9er gear.
I’m more than Faithful, I’m consumed.
Kills me to see what’s going on with this Franchise.
I’ve eaten enough sh!t to last me 3 lifetimes for my passion to the Team here in NJ.
The York’s have destroyed what Eddie built.
They’ll bury me in a 9er Jersey, in a 9er coffin when that day comes.
Until then, I’ll protest what the York’s are doing.
They’re clueless about what it takes to win because they’re Business people.
Marketing and profits is all they know.
You win in the NFL with football guys.
Not Marketing guys with MBAs.
Until they devote time and resources in that direction, we’re gonna spend more and more time protesting.
They suck.
NJ – Most people really don’t know what it means to be a 49er fan. There were plenty of times when we didn’t play real good but for the most part we were always a very hard nosed football team. And, way before free agency most of the players were there year after year, they just seemed like part of the family. The game is nothing like it used to be. Most all the players had to have jobs outside of the game just to survive, many of them played because they loved the game. That’s what I remember most of the 49ers.
Winder I envy you guys who lived there and grew up with them.
Admittedly I didn’t have the local influence due to where life put me.
I’ll simply say this. I’m rabid and have been for over 40yrs.
Only wish I had the ability to flush out the York’s or, make a difference in how they do things.
This sh!t is painful.
tru dat
BOO HOO !
The gift from Youngstown keeps on giving…….
I’m not a Cowboys fan but one of my friends son is playing very well for them. You guys might recognize him since he went to SJ St. His name is Keith Smith. My friend Julie Smith is a proud mom!
I bet he’s just lovin life right now.
We need a new thread. Something to get Skeebers and his pals fired up. The political campaign is about over……Hillary will win and Trump will be a huge loser. The Niners still suck no matter who wins. Jed will still be in charge. And we all will still be complaining.
OUCH!
Woof!
I got nothin’ Nip.Maybe you can write one.
Four score and seven years ago our forefathers brought forth…….The NINERS!
New thread is up
