Game Day III – Electric Boogaloo

Not much to say about this game. We either score some touchdowns or we lose. Jared Goff seems to have shed his bust tag from last year’s debacle, but that is strictly related to the Curse of Jeff Fisher. A guy who has done less with more since Aluminum Mike Singletary. Now that he is gone, Goff appears to have a clue. Granted he hasn’t faced a tough defense, and we don’t quite fit that category yet, but if we can get after the immobile Goff like we got after the mobile RW, we should create a little havoc for the Ram offense.

Other than that, our offense has been a small stagnant pond in a burning pit of doom. The bright spot is Carlos Hyde. Which is good and bad. Hyde hasn’t been exactly durable for his career, and counting on him seems to lead to disappointment. Or we become the 2010 49ers who do nothing but hand the ball off 3 times and then punt. Hoyer needs to trust his blocking and actually hit the open guys. He has left a shit ton of plays out there, but Goodwin does no favors by dropping excruciatingly important passes.

As I said, 20-13 Niners.

    The 49er corners are horribly coached. They NEVER turn and play the ball. Robinson is constantly in the receiver’s face and can’t figure out why he’s getting flagged. Johnson does the same thing.

  2. That slant’s a play that SF could never pull off.

    Finally the receivers are catching the ball 🏈

    Just like that Hoyer is having a huge game and 3-4 of his passes have been dropped.

    Yes! What a barnburner!

  7. Piss poor clock management using 2 timeouts there

    Shit. That BS penalty killed that drive.

    At least that game was entertaining and the offense finally showed up. Count your blessings for a positive viewpoint because this was another loss in a season with a lot of new faces. Be grateful for small steps because the journey is just beginning for the Niners this season.

    We still have a lot of work to do but it truly looks like we are headed in the right direction. With these last two games the Niners have shown they play the whole 60 minutes and sooner or later we are gonna win some of them.

    Still no pass rush, but we are losing defenders. LB play is lost at times. Ray Ray needs to figure out that zone doesn’t mean run around with his head cut off. Way too many 3rd down conversions where the middle was left wide open and Ray Ray was nowhere near his responsibility.

    Lack of a pass rush has killed us in two of the three games. Ray Ray has me convinced that he’s best suited for special teams. Not having Rueben and Reid out there last night was not a good thing. Bow is starting to look slow to me. He relies on his experience and football acumen to get himself to where he needs to be, but the legs don’t look like they used to. Maybe the short week had something to do with that as well.

    Agree, Chuck, the Rams had way too easy of a time converting 3rd downs and our lousy corners continue to play way off. Rashard is for shit so for and was, I believe, flagged three times. He’s impressing no one, and Johnson hasn’t been much better. They have to be better.

    Anyway, lots of good stuff too, especially on the offensive side. I’m with Winder, the team is battling for 60 minutes and that might be the best sign of all. Garcon was off the hook last night.

    Huh. Seattle is on the ropes early.

    Jimmy T’s D line is killing the Raiders O line. I bet he got a good laugh out of seeing Chip Kelly do worse than he did.
