Game was was shakey and penalty-filled/ Game Two? Even shakier still, and penalty-filled. Fumbles fumbles fumbles. 5 of them to be exact. One TO was called a pick, but it was all on Goodwin not securing the pass and letting the CB take it away. Whatever the score was, 33-14? what progress was starting to show itself for the 1st string offense was thwarted by the 4 first half turnovers. I actually thought Hoyer looked very good, short of the (tuck rule?) fumble, but the run game never got going, and Hyde missed the hole a few times amid a poor blocking performance by the O line. Hightower didn’t help with a stupid fumble, and Hyde mishandled a pitch as well.
Rashard Robinson continues to look poor to awful in his coverage and especially his tackling. He whiffed on a 3rd down stop that would have forced a punt but instead led to a 7 yard gain and a 1st down. And he got called for a stupid PI call in the end zone. He did cover nicely on a deep ball thrown his way, however. The defense played well given the field position advantage that the Niner O constantly gave them. But, the pass rush has nothing to show so far. Run D looks good.
CJ Beathard looked solid in his 2nd half start. He drove the team to their only TD drive with a nice crossing route to Aldrick Robinson and a tough athletic play by rookie TE George Kittle. That was pretty much the offensive highlight. Special teams is a pretty big concern to me even with the TD by Victor Boldin. Penalties and missed assignments abound.
We’d better hope this game was an outlier, or we are in for another 4 win season. I’m hopeful that the team will gel a little more and be able to play around .500 ball.
Foster has some serious closing speed.
Hey! Our starters actually scored a Touchdown!
Only took three games.
Now that’s more like it
The team has come out with a lot of energy to start this game.
These guys look fucking awesome. Just some surgical movement down the field. Still need to get that running game going, but Hoyer looks fantastic. Garcon is going to be a nice addition. It’s easy to see him as Hoyer’s favorite target.
OK, we gotta not stop this drive. I can see where this offense will drive defenses crazy if we don’t make mistakes
WhooHoo!
I didn’t know Hyde could catch the ball so good
27 catches for 3 TD’s last year on a bad team.
Hyde is a pretty good option out of the backfield. He looks quick and shifty and has great hands.
The corners will be the undoing of this defense. Serious lack of talent at that position. Dontae Johnson has no business in the NFL and Rashard Robinson is seriously under playing his advance billing.
I was gonna say something but I don’t want to jinx it.
Beathard looks awful in this game.
that was pretty nice
10 seconds after that comment, he goes for an 87 yard pass-and-catch play to Mostert. ROFL.
At least this game is interesting
nice fucking drive so far
Beathard has found a nice rhythm. Good on him for hanging in there.
If Mostert doesn’t end up on the roster or practice squad, he’s going to help someone. He’s had a nice preseason.
I can only hope that most of the defenders on the field the last quarter and a half will be gone after next week. Horrible performance.
They will be……the tail end of these games are a hoot!
That was the most painful drive I’ve seen in years.
