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!
Forty Niners Forever 
KS needs to shelve that read-option, forever.
And there it is.
GOULD IS GOLD!
Saleh needs to attach here.
Offside Lynch, every fucking game.
4 down time
That would have been game
I knew they’d convert that.
What the hell was White doing there? That is a turn over.
4th and 22.
I hope Witherspoon’s knee isn’t that a bad one
Gould is now 30 of 32 on fields goals. Helluva a pickup he’s turning out to be.
WTF is this giving himself up bullshit.
At least they are doubling Hopkins
At least Mabin is in his general vicinity most of the time, unlike Johnson.
Back to back road wins, JG needs a contract, cut the shit and pay the man.
This was a tough game but both Offense and defense stepped up when they had to.
We have a winning streak! On the road no less! First winning streak of the Shana-Lynch era!
Hope for the future!
First Qb to win his first 2 road games since Jim Plunkett.
Yeah, as bad as the penalties are , and some of these weird 3rd down formations, the team is coming around. Looks like the Raiders are falling back to Earth rather hard. Derek Carr is starting to look like his brother.
Hall of Famer Russell Wilson with 3 picks today, so far.
Carson Wentz out for the game with a knee injury. That might be the Eagles season there.
