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.
Forty Niners Forever 
fuck it. Lose out. Trade the #1 pick for booty down under. This is my plan for them.
I would really like to see us play a clean game of football(no fucking turnovers-outrageous # of penalties). I also would really like a shot at Barkley so if we get anyplace past #4 slot we will probably lose out. I don’t think the Niners will tank any game, it would be counterproductive to the philosophy that Lynch and KS are trying to establish. I also think CJ has his best game today. No rookie QB should have to go through what he’s been through the last couple of games. But, I think it will make him a better football player since he did.
Well I am hoping for a win, or if not, for CJ to suck so bad they put Jimmy G in, at least something to see.
Yeah we’re all due for a win. Losing just gets to be a habit. I hope CJ has a productive game. Jimmy G probably will not play unless there’s an injury.
I didn’t know Staley was coming back today, so They are likely gonna wait till after the bye and start him in the Seattle game.
They pretty much announced in on Wednesday. Quick healer.
That was PI on yoos-check.
That interior OL is beyond pathetic.
Just getting shoved back on that 4th and 1.
I want a win
Me too. The team needs it.
Yeah so do I. If they are still in the market for a QB next draft they have plenty of picks to move up.
Run, run, run, why?
CJ’s actually getting some time today.
There’s your fuckup. This Yuuuschick sucks so far.
Fumble……kind of predictable.
Bullshit ticky-tack call on the hold. Jerome Boger’s crew leads the league in flags thrown and it’s not close.
Nice rush by Blair. He’s an interesting guy, could turn out to be good.
83 yards TD Niners!
Fucking penalties.
That is why you throw the ball 🏈!!
Nice!
