As of now the 49ers are #2 in the run for the #1 pick in the league. Based on Cleveland’s weaker strength of schedule they have the top pick. I suppose the strength of schedule can change by the time the season ends, but the Niners could very well fall behind the New York Football Giants by beating them today. There has been a lot of talk about teams tanking this season, like the J-e-t-s, but they went out and won 4 of 9 for something resembling respectability, seeing as the Jets were 5-11 last year and they did a fairly big purge.
Anyhow, back to us, the braintrust went ahead and said that BeatHard would be the cannon fodder to get beaten harder today, instead of the shiny Ferrari in the garage, Jimmy Garoppolo. Trent Brown has been moved to LT in place of the injured Joe Staley, so at least he might slow down some of the pass rushers. And I’d imagine that Staley’s return would signal that it would be OK to pull that Ferrari out of the garage.
So, there you have it. A game that has draft implications as these guys, the Browns, and the Giants may not have 3 wins between them all for the next 7 weeks, but one of them wins tomorrow. I think we have the best shot. Cleveland is on the road in Deetroit, so that should be a cakewalk for the Lions. Beyond that, I’d think this team is very focussed on winning more than lining up for next year’s draft. The new coaching staff has the team behind them, and the front office is being very quiet about things, so the sense is that the team, while sucking hard due to injuries and inexperience, is heading in the right direction.
As bad as CJ looked, under a ton of pressure, last week, he looked equally as impressive today. Again, the Giants are nearly as banged up as we are, and they are giving up on their coach, but a win is a win. Got to start the Shanny Jr era at some point.
I know the Giants suck but that really takes a load of pressure off the whole organization
A win is a win. The HC was grateful. He was out taking pictures with the fans.
WE WIN!
i loved the part where they poured cups of gatorade on lynch. he had a huge grin.
No apologies for any wins in the NFL. The Niners played a solid game and made some big plays. They deserved this one. Let’s see if they can’t get a couple more.
Yeah NO APOLOGIES! BLEEP!
Finally!
Hey Zumiee………Sabean admits the Giants have to make “painful choices.” Perhaps fire the outfield? What do you think?
At least get a new centerfielder.
Ahhh, Mittens. We hardly knew ye . . .
Joe Fonzie is reporting that Ben (don’t call me Bob) McAdoo will be out as head coach, and his replacement will be the one and only Jim Harbaugh. He and the New York press is a match made in hell.
Not sure where that is coming from, but Harbaugh isn’t burning a hole in the NCAA, He’s been decent but has fallen short yet again of the championship he’s been looking for.
Go Jim! I wonder if he still shops at Walmart?
Gotta believe Jim will be back in the NFL at some point.
Didn’t think it would be this fast. I thought he would at least cycle through his initial recruiting effort.
Harbaugh’s ex-RB Brandon Jacobs has something to say about St. Jim.

I don’t know if I posted this before but it is very cool
Vontea Davis is available
Two time pro bowler would be nice to have out there with Johnson and Witherspoon
Hey there are no 49ers in the top 100 NFL players list but how would you like to have a QB on that list
