Hopes for the first victory of the season seemed to have been a bit premature as the 49ers went down flailing to a meh Dallas team by the galling score of 40-10. As usual, the game started out with a big mistake. This one courtesy of Trent Taylor’s muffing of a punt after the Niners defense made a nice 3-and-out stand on Dallas’ first possession.
This led to a quick TD. The offense never got on track, and there were the usual penalties (hello Rashard Robinson) and mistakes, Brieda fumbled, but recovered, and CJ fumbled on the Dallas 8 yard line to thwart a promising drive before the half. Another drive to start 3rd quarter ended in a 4th down fail. It took a while but the defense wore down and the 49ers lost going away. The good news? No drops! Anyhow, the is was a baptism by fire for BeatHard as he was rattled, hit, and flummoxed for most of the game. The line was insanely inconsistent, and Staley, the bright spot, still whiffed completely on the CJ fumble. Tomlinson had a terrible game at guard, and Brown did his share of whiffing as well.
Overall, a bad game from a young team. The schedule doesn’t get any easier with the high flying Eagles next, on the road, and then the Cards & Giants here. Both are struggling but both are better than us.
PS. The tribute to Dwight Clark was an awesome move by Eddie Debartolo. He flew in all the players he could from that 1981 team that was so shocking in their ascendancy. He has also been flying Clark around the world to find the best treatment available for him. It was also very painful to see such someone who very recently was an outgoing, energetic healthy man become so debilitated so fast.
Forty Niners Forever 
“Is it OK to reminisce about when the 9ers were good with special events to honor the past?”
“Does Jed convince you that TRYING to win is good enough?”
“Is the Marketing Plan and ambience of a new stadium enough to mask the FO chaos?”
“Given a choice, would you like a roof addition (and higher beer costs) or, baking in the sun and lower beer costs?”

Reasons why the game is dying a slow death perhaps?
Yeah people love waiting in line to get a beer. I stay home and walk to the fridge for my beer thank you. And people love to burn up in sun on a hot day while watching a game. As for winning who cares? Not much is going to occur this season anyway. Also people love to pay high parking fees or walk for miles to avoid them. I’m amazed anyone goes to the games now. Santa Clara should be a success but there’s reasons it is not.
Each person supports the team in their own way. I do it with my money and my presence, without both of those the team will never be competitive and for me there is nothing like actually experiencing the game live. I’ve seen some of the greatest moments in Niners history in person and a lot of the lowest moments too but either way I was there. I bought season tix again this year after 3 years without them but even in those years I went to multiple games for the same reason.
Last Sunday was just beyond the pale.
Yeah, this is new normal in regard to the stadium and the team. It’s a drag to look around the NFL and see the gleaming new state-of-the-art stadiums that have been built recently, and look at our erector set nightmare. They should cover half the field with a shade of some kind.
I’m hoping things start looking up soon, 12th.
New thread is up.
