The latest slasher pic coming to a theater near you . . .
And bleeding is exactly what the fans are doing these days. As the Niners play out the string of another lost season, the ownership group hides in the cozy confines of 4949 Centennial Blvd, Santa Clara, CA safe in the knowledge that they built a stadium at the cost of the team that is supposed to fill it up. Jed hasn’t said or released anything publicly since September 8th when he, at the behest of Colin Kaepernick, donated $1 million to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
Yay. Good job, Jed. Since then however, your team has lost 10 games in a row, and there is deafening silence coming from the front office. The last time he spoke, near as I can tell, was before training camp broke on August 1st. Through the slide into oblivion we get nothing. The tiny bits of light are swallowed whole by mounting losses and growing uncertainty.
I’m sure Chip Kelly feels good as he either collects a paycheck alongside the rail with Jimmy T, or gets another shot with a team full of 2nd stringers. A no-lose situation despite all the losses. As bad as the team has looked, it’s kinda hard to pin this on him as there has been nothing of substance added to the team for 5 drafts. Say what you will about the coaching changes, the biggest problem is the fact that Trent Baalke is batting .096 in his last 5 drafts. He needs to go. Period.
If Jed has any balls, he’ll hire a GM and give him carte blanche to build the team from the GM down. Impose restrictions on what the Gm can do and you lose any decent candidate. Chip would be on the block, but not necessarily. Jed has to make a choice and sit back. Not diddle around and push pieces around the checker board.
Why not Ponder?
Not active today
this is the first game of the year where I feel like they’ve given up….
Fair point
That’s on coaching too
Barkley’s first career win, of course.
Damn this game sucks! Oh well this too will pass………….
Wake Jed up and insist he fire someone …..anyone…..NOW!
Shambles.
Heads must roll.
OUCH!
Six yards net passing. We did not finish negative ONLY thanks to Gabbert. Bears had six sacks.
This team needs an enema.
Don’t look now, but we could be trading in Baalke for Kaep next year.
We’re an eff’n joke.
The 2nd coming of Daniel Snyder.
Create a revolving door of scapegoats and look like you know what you’re doing as an Owner.
Feckless, futile, fuk’n nimrods.
Can’t show Chip the door, without paying yet another HC to fish.
Thanks to Fangio at least., for showing just how devoid of talent Kaep is, when he can’t run from pressure.
I’m a NYJ Fan next week too.
No reason to trot Ponder out there at this point either IMO.
We already know he can play from the Pocket.
See if he’s willing to re-up next year, after the anticipated departure of Kaep.

I’m most concerned that, in a deep class of Defensive talent next Spring, they’ll opt to take a QB in the Top 5 that doesn’t deserve to be selected there.
Perhaps we have some explanation on Chip’s rough afternoon?

Jesus. This goes down as one of the worst losses in team history. Desultory bland lackadaisical boring. Block a punt and get penalized for excessive? Really? 1-10 and you are going to act like you saved the season on that play? I didn’t even see what Robinson did. I don’t like the rules one bit, Jerry Glanville was right, but every fucking player knows them.
Also, on a punt, Kerley caught the ball on the 22, and when they came back from commercial, the ball was on the 12. No penalty was explained or noted. Or called.
There are no QBs of note that I’d draft in the 1st. So naturally Baalke will draft some QB in a coma.
If Baalke stays on Chuck he’s gotta be drooling over the Defensive talent slated to come out in April.
Was reading that a snow angel penalty was called in the GB game today as well.
I suspect Baalke will be shown the door in favor of retaining Gamble and Chip.
Irony in all it’s glory?
Fire the HC that took them to the Playoffs several times (and lost a SB), after an 8-8 season, while being stuck with Chip and his current 1 Win season, because they couldn’t bring themselves to keep Fangio in favor of Gase?
Tomsula will do huh Jed?
All comes down to impatient Ownership, that meddles too close the core, seeking recognition for something they think just happens in the NFL, like it did for Uncle Eddie.
In typical York fashion, they’ll look for a splash Pick in April, assuming Kaep bolts.
I preferred Dak last year as what I assumed would have been a good fit for what Chip runs.
I’m afraid he’ll reach for Watson from Clemson should Cleveland pass.
Stay tuned I guess?
This circus won’t end until Ownership stays out of the Locker Room, and anything related to football Ops.
SEC Player of the Week
Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama: Foster was an animal in Alabama’s 54-16 SEC Championship Game win over Florida with 11 tackles, nine of which he recorded solo. He also had a pair of sacks and displayed the type of versatile playmaking ability that makes this Crimson Tide defense so hard to defend. Whether he’s being disruptive in the backfield or the open field, Foster is an every-down player who dominates.
Put this kid on our Draft Board as a potential 1st Pick –
To correct an earlier comment Chuck – Seems Randall Cobb’s snow angel was allowed, going unpunished in GB –
I guess it’s all part of the Officiating ‘human-factors’ in the NFL?
Homer remains a fellow in good standing for a reason I suppose?

Safe to assume Carolina and the Camster are frauds too?
He managed to get himself benched for some disciplinary reason as the Leader of the team?
This League is beginning to resemble the WWE.
Find some cockamamie reason or another to tilt a game?
If not Officiating it’s something homegrown, like a late scratch, or in Cam’s case a benching for some unknown disciplinary action?
