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!
Fucking Pinion.
All you need is a decent punt there and he fucking shanks it.
Baalke’s eternal gift to the Niners.
I was hoping that ball would get picked for that very reason.
Meanwhile Lechler has been booming them all game long.
Need a turnover.
24 yard punt. What a joke.
Jesus. Defensive holding on a run???
Hopkins jizzfest all day long.
How many nose tackles get flagged for holding on run plays? 2-3 all year? ONLY THE NINERS.
Dumervil has been effective of late, whether or not it shows up in sack numbers. He’s getting his pressure.
Let’s finish this thing!
A stacked D line and they run into the teeth of it, dumb.
I don’t care what anyone says about Hyde or anyone else, these guys don’t have anywhere to go. This game is case in point. Any decent blocking at all and this team would be putting 120 yards a game on the ground, or more.
Another mediocre punt by Pinion. They needed points there.
TURNOVER TIME!
I CALLED IT BABY!
Thats the one we needed
Colbert just blew Hopkins up! LOL
Need a FG
