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

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

    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.

    Good to see Breida back out there.

    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,

    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.
