Silence of the Yorks . . .

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.

    Nice weather in Chicago

  4. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    Hard to believe this is the nfl

  5. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    The NFL got what they wanted, parity heaven! Other than NE is there another Dynasty team. In the 80’s and 90’s, you had the Niners, Cowboys, Bears, Giants, GB,. In the AFC, Denver, Pitts, Miami, Bengals,. Now all you have are watered down talent.

    A field goal ……3-0 for the Niners!

  7. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    The No Fun League at its best, a peanalty for excessive celebrating.

  8. 12th man's avatar 12th man says:

    2 trips deep in the red zone, turnover and TOP all Niners. This game shouldn’t be close but it’s a 1 score game, crazy.

  9. Nipper's avatar Nipper says:

    Ouch! Chicago TD

  10. NoFear49er's avatar NoFear49er says:

    Agree they should allow celebrations or not, they don’t allow excessive and that is the rule currently and every player knows it. Intentionally drawing the fifteen yard penalty just shows you don’t give a shit for your team and in this case probably cost them a TD in a game that they are pretty scarce so far. If the Niners lose by four points or less it could have cost them the game. Just selfish and stupid in my view.

    • Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

      That is the very reason the players and the fans have started calling it the NFL…the No Fun League!! You are going to penalize teams because a player or owner or Coach is crying on the sideline because you just scored or got a sack or interception?? F that!!

      • NoFear49er's avatar NoFear49er says:

        Not sure I understand your argument there but whether they should allow it or not wasn’t my point.

        Whose fault is it if you break the rules and get flagged for it?

        Personally I think it’s poor sportsmanship and trying to take personal glory for what is almost always a team accomplishment. Play like a team or for some other team.

      • Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

        So what you are saying is that the NFL should have taken the celebrating of TD’s or what ever a long time a go. All the celebrating that Jerry Rice did should have been penalized??

      • NoFear49er's avatar NoFear49er says:

        Not really, I don’t like it, personally. If the league allows it I’ll live with it.

        Are you a fan of cut blocks then? Bobb McKittrick / Walsh coached it in those days.

      • Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

        That is a stupid question, how can you compare a celebration with trying to intentionally hurting someone! Seriously that was a stupid question.

      • NoFear49er's avatar NoFear49er says:

        The same way you compare ancient rules with today’s.

        Having refused to address (or maybe understand) my original point in all your replies, maybe you’re not the best judge of stupid.

  11. 12th man's avatar 12th man says:

    And there it is with a little help from the zebra’s.

    Barkley can pass but Kap cant?

  12. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Terrible pass interference call in the end zone gave the Bears a gift TD..

  13. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    If the Niners don’t come out throwing the ball, this will be another loss

  14. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Ineptitude at its best

  15. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Making this QB look like Joe Montana!!

  16. 12th man's avatar 12th man says:

    Brock and Ward both look like shit and Kap can’t throw in the snow. Barkley looks like an all pro. This back 4 having a terriblemail game.

  17. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    This really is ridiculous.

  18. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    No this does not fall on Kelly, no talent on the field is the problem, and that falls squarely on Balke

    • 12th man's avatar 12th man says:

      Not excusing Baalke Kevin, but Chip took no shots in the air when it was still a guessing game, he went run up the gut play after play and became one dimensional intentionally.
      Poor coaches decision IMO.

      Now Gabbert.

      • Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

        Yeah, but that has been the SOP for the Niners over the last 10 years, no passing game till absolutely necessary

    • Winder's avatar Winder says:

      Not buying it Kevin. Granted our team has very little talent. But play calling has been suspect for many weeks now. Chip isn’t fooling anyone, not even second and third stringers

      • 12th man's avatar 12th man says:

        I really feel they need to elevate Ponder to see what they have. Gabbert undertaken every pass attempt and Kap was atrocious today.

        What’should to lose? The Bears are starting Matt “hot tub” Barkley for Fuchs sake and look at him today, Dan freakin Marino!

      • 12th man's avatar 12th man says:

        Underthrew*

  19. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Yeah, now for the musical QB chair
