Playing for the 1st round pick? Playing out the string? Fiddling while Santa Clara burns? Whatever the reasoning, the Niners should be focussing on their younger players and benching/cutting the vets who are no longer in their plans. Hello Pierre Garcon. Whether Richard Sherman is included in that group remains in doubt, because he is playing well, and we can’t bench all the vets, but is Arik Armstead in our future? Solomon Thomas? Ahkello Witherspoon? Those no-name LBs Pita and Pocket? These guys need to play themselves in or out of the roster. As does Dante Pettis, Bourne, those backup O linemen, and such.
Robert Saleh is also on the hot seat more than any of the players. He needs to figure out how to get his players into better matchups. His pass rush is nonexistent, and he’s leaving guys wide open all over the secondary. His blaming that on a lack of talent is ludicrous. Shanny has proven to be very forthright in his assessment of things, but he hasn’t thrown Saleh under the bus. Publicly anyway.
I can’t imagine him saying anything positive in the defensive meetings as WR after TE after RB catches a pass without a defender within 15 yards of him. Over and over and over. Yeah, w can stop the run, but all that oes is ‘force’ teams to torch us through the air.
Anyhow, I think we win this one, unless of course our QB decides to lead the league in -/+ yet again. The Beater has more turnovers (10) than 16 TEAMS in the league. Christ. hold on to the fucking ball.

Kyle needs to learn to play to win, not play to not lose
Rams only won by two while we almost won by five. I consider that significant improvement. Onwards to our Super Bowl on Thursday night in Old Navy Denim Stadium!
Oh and for you Dodger fans another ton of dough paid to vets to get the job done and yep they could not do it. Took the Dodgers 18 innings the equivalent of 2 games to get one win. And Mr Cy Young kershaw can’t handle pressure situations, so he is not going to get them there. Have I missed anything
I’d like to see Mullens get a try. It can’t be worse than Beat Hard.
Me too. He might even cause defenses to stumble since no one knows anything about him.
I think we should fire Saleh right now and our DB coach. We need to shake this fucking team up.
Yup. He should have been fired 10 minutes after the game. Give up 3 points in 3 quarters, and 15 in the 4th? To the fucking Cardinals? Fuck that shit.
