Here we go with the 2017 season. A new regime, a team that has very few holdovers from the last season, a new coaching staff, and a surprisingly quiet front office. A front office I sure hope has learned their lesson in how to run a team and stay in the background and let the coaches coach and the players play while they shut the fuck up and write the checks.
Anyhow, our 6 game opening day win streak is on the line against the Carolina Panthers. A team Colin Kaepernick beat in their house in the distant past of of the 2013 season. 23-10 on our way to a disappointing loss to Seattle. Eons ago. Cam Newton after that loss, fell out of the playoffs before their 15-1 season and subsequent Super Bowl L loss. Last year of course they cratered again and Newton seems to be at a crossroads yet again in his career. Their defense went south, even with Luke Kuechly. Without him, they got worse.
Now? Shit, I don’t know. I’m fairly optimistic and I’m thinking we keep the streak alive. And I think we go 9-7. Expectations are small and I think if we stay relatively healthy, we could make a playoff run.
27-17 Niners.
Shit, Goodwin! Catch the damn ball!
Rodgers opens the GB game with a pick 6. Lots of pixcks today.
Ahh, they took it away.
Right on the numbers Goodwin.
D is looking good so far. Reuben Foster with a nice drop into coverage.
Pass pro looking good.
Well, that got ugly fast.
Foster down and it doesn’t look good. That didn’t take long.
That looks like a broken leg.
unFUCKINGbelievable. He’s on the cart.
1 fucking quarter
Jeebus. So much for this offense. Goodwin drops a pass and the rest falls apart.
Here we go again, falling in love with the run!! 3rd and 22…gee I wonder what play is going to be called??? Maybe a passing play. Same shit different year!!
If I am a defensive coordinator I am going to let you run up and down the field, as long as you don’t score(see the Niners here) I don’t give a shit about giving up 200+ yards on the ground!!
Illegal formation is the Niners favorite penalty.
Foster back! Limping but back! X-rays must’ve been negative.
The OL is going to have to be shored up. Hoyer won’t stand a chance otherwise. They’ve had some runs but they look weak overall.
Rams rolling behind Goff. I’m happy to see they went back to the classic white horns.
Nice play by Johnson and Tartt there.
The OL was known as suspect and going against a DL like Carolina in the first game is a tough chore. Still, Hoyer has very little time to do anything and the one perfect ball he threw didn’t come close to getting caught by Goodwin. That was embarrassing. Foster out after one fucking quarter. Same old shit.
Foster walking back out is an encouraging sign.
