Game Day III – Season of the Witch

These tough games are coming fast and furious for the upstart youngsters that are the 49ers. They played tough but sloppy against the Vikings (a game they should have won by 14), they played great against the Lions. For 3 quarters. Now we face the hottest QB in one of the hardest road venues in the NFL, Arrowhead Stadium.

They lost their best offensive weapon in Marquise Goodwin in that Minn loss, and were down to 3rd string LBs in the Detroit win. The good news is Malcolm Smith will finally play a meaningful down after missing his first 18 games. Even more significant than that is the return of Reuben Foster. So I think the defense rallies.

Which is why I think the 49ers win tomorrow. Yeah, it’s another early start for a west coast team in a hostile environment, against the hottest QB in the NFL in Pat Mahomes, but I think their defense will be their downfall. I think our defense makes more plays against our improved D (and a hopefully healthier Ahkello Witherspoon), so we win.

My concern is what it has been since before training camp started. And that is our pass rush.  DeForest Buckner is actually #2 in sacks at 3.5, but the rest of the team is at 1.5. Which sucks. The return of our LBs, and the havoc they bring (I see Foster blitzing) should be able to slow down the Mahomes express.

    Good fucking God. Garcion not even aware of the ball in the air.

    I thought KC’s D sucked

  3. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    He might’ve hyperextended it, which isn’t much better but it’s better than a torn ACL.

  4. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    We can’t do shit against the worst defense in the NFL. By a long shot.

    The illegal block in the bak was pointless and retarded. You cannot make that mistake on a play like that. That’s an unsportsmanlike if it was Mahomes though.

  5. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Good to see Breida back out there.

  6. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    What really stinks I have Harrison Buckner as my FG kicker, and they only score TD’s and he only gets 1 point, very frustrating..

  7. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    They consistently run the WRs deep to open up the underneath,

  8. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Seems every team has a guy who leaks out as a release valve for the QB except the Niners

  9. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    This team is incapable of covering backs out of the backfield.

  10. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Lucky they didn’t get a flag there.

  11. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Unreal how we let these backs release unchecked.

  12. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    2 penalties a play now. LOL. We hit 15 yet?

  13. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    They must have 5 firdt downs by penalty,.

  14. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Can we make a good tackle

  15. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    9 penalties for 106 yards. In the first half. That’s embarrassing Shanahan.

  16. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Foster looking rusty.

  17. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    The way the Niners are playing KC can bring in the second string and still win this game

  18. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Selah has been getting burned by that play all year. Fucking stupid. They’vcve run the same version of that play 8 times already

  19. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    35-7 at the half. I expected a rout, but not like this. Yes, this is a team on the rise. Shanahan is looking more and more like a guy who is out of his depth.

  20. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Piss poor tackling

  21. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    KC looks to get the over by themselves.

  22. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Someone needs to get ito every defenders face at the half

  23. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Useless play there. Go to the end zone.

  24. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Another useless play. This does nothing.

  25. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Down 4 scores still. And now Sherman is done. This season is wasting away before our eyes.

  26. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    The tackling had better get a whole lot better in the second half

  27. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Otherwise the score can easily be 70-… whatever

  28. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    ALl these drafts for defensive helpo and we still can’t rush the paser. I knew we should have gone after Khalil Mack when we had the shot,

  29. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    What the hell happened to Sherman?

  30. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    He was limping badly off the field at the half. 2 guys were helping him. Didn’t see what happened,

  31. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    A Smith 214 yards at the half against Green Bay

  32. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Sherman has a calf injury.Probably won’t return, doesn’t matter anyway sit him

  33. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    A tackle, it was a tackle

  34. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Wow. We stopped a dump to the right.

  35. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Our interior line does nothing. No pressure at all up the middle.

  36. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Wow. Through no fault of our own we stop KC. KC has the propensity to get soft in the 2nd half,

    Just like Stanford lat night, we’ll come back!

  37. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Breida back!

  38. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Fuck, Jimmy. You can’t miss that.

  39. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Look at that, Speilman agreeing with me about our high priced QB needing to make a throw after he missed a wide open Garcon. After all the heat I took here for pointing it out.

  40. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Hey now. Were was this in the 1st half? Totally on the defense now.

  41. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Well, that looked a hell of a lot better.

  42. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    19 down. All day left. Just need a 3 and out.

  43. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Need good defense the rest of the game.

  44. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    A turnover would be nice.

  45. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Need a turnover!

  46. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    We are running out of DBs.

  47. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Bills up 27-0 late in 3rd at MN. Vikings’ fans are probably squawking a lot louder than we are. Any given Sunday…

  48. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Wow. Dodged a bullet there.

  49. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    “””””A STOP””””

  50. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Fuck. I swear to God we should fair catch every punt.

  51. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    It’s nice to have Quise back out there, Breida too. He’s been looking explosive the last couple of games, and Goodwin should open up the passing game.

  52. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Fucking Penalties stop every drive before they Start!!! How many is it now? 12-13?

  53. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Offside.

  54. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    If we are going to run, we should be going no0-huddle.

  55. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    That’s 120 yards on the ground after Morris’s run.

  56. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Got to score quick.

  57. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Morris and Breida being effective.

  58. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Wow. Nice play there.

  59. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Now that was a nice play, Jimmy.

  60. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Do they go for 2?

  61. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Jeeeebus, Go for 2.

  62. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    YES!

  63. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Kittle plays hard when he’s out there, completely unafraid of contact.

  64. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    They sure are resilient I’ll give em that much!
    Have a game again, if they stop em on the next series again..

  65. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Still with the missed tackles

  66. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    AA whiffs on the tackle.

  67. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Armstead has to make that play.

  68. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    This officiating is un-fucking-believable.

  69. Maggie Horowitz's avatar Maggie Horowitz says:

    They can’t fucking cover anyone.

  70. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Witherspoon is offeing no reisitance.

  71. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    If you can;t hand-check, then there’s hold on every pass play in every game.

  72. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    So sick of these BS penalties, that extend drives, every fucking time they make a stop a fucking flag comes out!! I’m fucking pissed I’m fuckin not gonna take it anymore!!!

  73. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Fuck. They go back up 3 scores, it’ll be tough. Need a turnover more than ever.

  74. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Somebody make a damn play!

  75. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Jesus. Crystal Todd all over again.

  76. 12th Man's avatar 12th Man says:

    looked like his back

  77. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    First game back, gets hurt, that would suck for us

  78. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Yeah, took the brunt of 2 guys falling on him.

  79. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Thought concussion..

  80. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Yeah let’s throw another fucking flag!!

  81. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    That’s a fucking hold!

  82. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    They might as well disallow tackling in the NFL.

  83. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    He pulled him down by the shoulder. No penalty.

  84. 12th Man's avatar 12th Man says:

  85. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

  86. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

  88. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

  89. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:
