The Niners are back on the road, looking for that elusive 2 game winning streak. Something not accomplished since the stagger down the stretch that was the Harbaugh exit back in 2014. That 7-4 mark was followed by a) Brady Hoke being fired from Michigan; and b) the 49ers losing their next 4 games to fall out of the playoff race. Coincidence? Who knows? And that is a whole other story.
The story now is the Jimmy Garoppolo era. And whether he can win 2 road games to kick off his 49ers career. No mean feat, as the Bears defense isn’t bad, and neither is Houston’s, although they have been hit with the injury bug as well. In a big way. DeShaun Watson was having a stellar offensive start to his career when he tore his ACL in practice leading up to game 5. Then J.J. Watt broke his leg in that week 5 against KC.But they do still have Jadaveon Clowney, so he’s always a threat. But their promising start was derailed and they are now relying on ex-porn star Tom Savage to salvage their season. 2-6 ain’t getting it done however.
That leaves Jimmy G and the slowly healthying up 49ers. Trent Brown is back, as well as Joe Staley and Eric Reid. The D line is gradually getting more and more pressure, and rattling Savage shouldn’t be too difficult. That leaves it to our offense getting into the end zone. 2 in a row!
This guy throws some fucking darts. Wow.
Fucking mistakes. We do this all the time. our line needs to figure it out
Breida is too small for up the gut runs but they keep doing it. Penalties AGAIN!
This is why the OLine should be top priority next year, penalties is because you are getting beat!!
Finally
Lol.
FINALLY!!!!!
YESSS!!
Great play call by Shanny!
This guy makes the whole receiving corps look like a different unit. Celek actually looks like a receiver now. JG does what all the great ones do, he spreads the ball around. Much harder to defend when an offense does that.
I think Gore just made a 100 yards today
Amazing guy, just keeps going long after I thought he would.
Somebody cover Hopkins and somebody else hit Yates.
2 drops by White, no loss to the Niners.
Texans players dropping like flies in this game.
Unreal, 3 penalties in a row.
Penalties are just off the charts. Incredibly frustrating to watch.
Dangerous situation here.
Criminy. This line is flat terrible without Brown. The domino effect it creates is fucked up.
I love the quick passes. It ain’t a 1st down but it gives us a shot.
Wow. For once we get the call.
First dumb thing I’ve seen from Jimmy
Pinion is the Baalke gift that keeps on giving.
Seems like he has one of those in most games
