Wow. In a display of ineptitude that brings to mind the singing quarterback Scott Bull and the 2-14 year of 1978, this team played like they know they suck hard and have nothing left to do. Sure it was snowing and the weather was bad, but that didn’t stop Chicago from trying. Neither team completed a pass till the 2 min warning. Of course we had the ball for 20 of the first 30 mins and still managed to fall behind 7-6 because Shaun Draughns blocked a punt and Rashard Robinson stepped OB and celebrated too much. when we went down 1 point at the half my thought was it is a hill too far.
Of course they got 19 and we got 0. ZZZZzzzzzzzzz…………..
Kappy was a stellar 1-5 for 4 yards and 6 sacks. So he threw for a net -29 yards.
Gabby took the yoke of backup off and went off in an incendiary performance and was 4-10 and 35 yards. Well, compared to Kappy.
Not much to say. Not much to hope for. Baalke is still here. Jed is still pussing out by remaining silent, and the team might as well forfeit the rest of their games. They have given up.
Forty Niners Forever 
Hark! They suck!
What maybe the Grandaddy of second half ineptitude, the Niners didn’t get nearer than 65 yds to the end zone.
In more heartening news there is this:
http://www.profootballrumors.com/2016/12/growing-belief-49ers-will-fire-trent-baalke
Really? Fire Trent? You got to be kidding!
Baalke is not a scapegoat NJ, he is the root cause. Not Jed or Paraag or snowy the owl, Trent Baalke. He has had absolute free reign and has used it to the ruin of this team. He says himself “put it on my shoulders”. Okay……
Kaep embarrassed himself today. He was sitting in a clean pocket, had McDonald completely wide open, and he missed him by a solid 20 feet high. You can’t blame that shit on the weather. And if he can’t throw the ball in a little snow then he shouldn’t be playing pro football. They don’t play this game in the summer time. Fucking shitty Barkley outplayed him. Kaep has lost, what, like 12 games in a row? I’m not sure that’s the number but he is awful and sucks and he’s dumb as fuck anyway and needs to GO. No MORE KAEP. I don’t care who plays, I just want him gone…….
Right along with Balke,
You got that right. Kap will be gone. He’s ready to leave for sure.
Alright so, I am not a scout so I know zero about drafting players, Dak Prescott 4th round, 37th pick, 135th pick around. James Garoppolo 2nd round pick, so what I want to know is how do they determine that there are no quality QB’s in this years draft?? Jerry Rice 1st round 16th pick. If teams knew what Jerry would become he would have been the number 1 draft pick. The NFL draft is truly a crap shoot, you just don’t know what you will get!
I am not saying the Niners should draft a QB in the first round of this years draft, but I see no reason not to draft a QB in one of the rounds.
Baalke drafted a QB, WR and RB all after the 6th round this year and then didn’t protect the QB he drafted and Cincy took him off the Niners PS, he then cut the RB and the WR has done nothing at all.
He puts little to no emphasis on the skill positions and when he does he mostly blows it.
That an top of yet another DB with an ACL injury taken in the third round who is on IR was the last straw for me.
Baalke stinks.
Give him a bar of soap.
Jay Glazer said in the pre-game show that it doesn’t matter what happens over the last 5 games, Chip Kelly will be back next year. Given the epic collapse of the Niners, now at 11 losing games in a row, clearly someone won’t be back. My money is on Baalke and O’Neil getting pinks.

If that’s the case they might as well hire Barney Oatfield as GM and we can suck for even longer
Looking like Gamble.
Kaepernick played in Reno so snow isn’t an issue. He may be sucking but who would help? Ponder? I suppose we’ll see him at some point but we have no QBs signed for next year so it fairly safe to say 2 of the 3 if not all of them are gone. Plus the GM and possibly the coach. So yeah let’s get Fitzpatrick from he Jets. Or Romo. Oh he’s hurt again. Think Osweiler is working out? There are a league full of shitty QBs urgently playing in the NFL now. There’s no one coming in the draft that wouldn’t be a sleeper.
Baalke had better be gone because he has neglected the offense at the cost of drafting for the defense for 5 years and the defense is not good. We have no pass rush and we give up 3rd downs at an alarming rate. We fall behind and can’t catch up or we just fade to nothing. The team needs 2 solid drafts and some free agents to get decent. So 2019 is the new future.
I guaranteed it would be Gamble because Jed will tell him he has to keep Chip.
Tom will gladly take the job with the muzzle placed on him.
So far Trent’s still on the job and Jed is trying to build a cabana. 49ers are at the bottom with the Browns. Sucking at something has never looked worse.
The BEARS looked like the ole Monsters of the Midway playing against the Niners. Damn that was a beating. Kap better be shown the door soon. He sucks for sure.
IMO only way things might change is through a total housecleaning. I honestly don’t think Chipski is up to being a HC in the NFL. I think he is a good college coach but the pro game is too much for him. We have a better O-line this year than we had last year but our offense is terrible. Even Gabbert was better last year. I think if the Chipster stays we will be stuck in a mire for even longer than if we just dump him.
Read that article 12th and yeah, Florio is saying what I said. The transition will be to Gamble for continuity reasons and to keep Kelly here.
Not like it’s an earthshaking thing, but really, they have to make a change at the GM spot. The talent drain was apparent before Harbaugh left and I’m sure had something to do with his departure.
Mike Nolan says although he thinks Baalke is a good talent guy he carries the blame for Tomsula and Kelly hires and insinuates Baalke is probably getting fired.
He also says the roster isn’t as bad as people think and that obviously they need a QB and could be a .500 team in short order.
Most of that is jabs at Kelly’s coaching (He mentions needing good coordinators, O’Neil?) and a complete dismissal of the QB’s on roster.
http://49ers.pressdemocrat.com/mike-nolan-says-baalkes-biggest-mistake-hiring-tomsula-kelly/
I think the same as you Chuck, they will promote Tom Gamble who does have a strong rep around the league as a good talent evaluator.
Perhaps they’ll bring back Tomsula for another go of it. lol
Teflon Mike offering advice is like having Jack the Ripper as your surgeon.
Not knowing how to use his talent was a hallmark of the Nolan era
NoFear Just blew A load though.
Jack the Ripper? Hello I’m your heart surgeon. “Shortly you will be put under and hopefully after my procedure you will emerge alive and well.” lol
Maybe so but he concedes Baalke is likely gone and takes a shot at Kelly and his coordinators.
He also leaves no doubt Kap and Gabbery are not the guy.
Plenty of peoplearning agree with that.
I’m not sure about Kelly but the team looked like they had given up in Chicago and that’s not a good look for any coach.
I would like to see some emotion from him after these bad losses and reading about players laughing it up in the food line after the game stinks too.
Staley said “play for pride”. Sounds lacking for some of his team mates.
Yeah Balke has to go, no excuse from Jed on why they should keep him.
How the fuck did they do this. 6 sacks ? 6 pts ? Wtf maybe it’s true could Baalke be the anti Christ
HELP WANTED NOW………GM position open ……call JED at the Los Altos Hills Cabana.
Cabana boy better get his shit together. No heart, no passion, no touchdowns. Bad bad bad shit.
Jason Cole says Niners coaches not sold on Kap (no shit) and that his future with the team got more doubtful after his benching.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2680123-insider-buzz-kaepernicks-future-with-49ers-cloudy-after-sunday-benching
My 2 cents is Kap is running through the motions and is just as, if not more interested, in his politics. His play on the field is all over the place and Fangio knew just how to expose him.
The team needs a QB, DC and GM at a minimum.
My money is on Gamble and Kelly next year. With an estimated $60 million to spend and another buttload of picks this team could be respectable quickly if the new GM will spend in free agency. They do have some solid pieces just not enough right now.
Next question is can Kelly pull it off? Sounds like he gets another year to show he can.
As for which QB, have to wait to see who becomes available and what comes of the draft but the idea that there are no NFL quality QB’s in the draft this year is absurd. Kap is not the answer.
Baalke’s hanging posse is growing, Scott Ostler:
http://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/article/Memo-to-Baalke-Put-your-resignation-where-your-10688673.php
12th too bad you and I couldn’t sit down for a few cold ones and talk 9er football.
Like everyone that got bounced since the York regime took control, Baalke will become yet another scapegoat for their meddlesome ineptitude.
For a GM to be successful he’s got to have continuity with the Coaches, support and patience from Ownership, a budget to operate with.
For all the changes at the HC level comes changes in the personnel that came before him.
I don’t dispute ‘The ACL Guys’ for example. Reaches all.
My simply philosophy in the Baalke saga is what went on around him since he took the reigns.
He delivered Harbaugh, fortunes turned, team won, internal disputes still arose with the FO.
Kaep was a Harbaugh ‘Draft want’ that flamed out. Miss on the QB, set your Franchise clock back 5yrs.
Granted, GM turns in the Pick. Owns the results in the end.
Harbaugh’s firing created a mass exodus in talent behind it, GM stuck in a H3LL Hole.
I don’t buy Nolan’s suggestion that Tomsula was Baalke’s ‘hire’ so much, since he spent plenty of energy recruiting Gase. Certainly plausible I suppose but, I think Jed/Paraag wanted a clean sweep of the Harbaugh regime. Open to speculation of course.
