Big Day Nick now becomes Nick at Night as the 49ers continue their sojourn through the drags of the NFL with their 3rd game in a row against a one-win opponent. Their stellar record is 1-1. They lost to the hapless Cardinals, who were thusly dispatched by the KC Chiefs, and the happlesser Raiders were thoroughly pounded by Philip Rivers and the LA Clippers.
Tonight of course is our 2nd national game in a row, against the one-win New York football Giants, and our 2nd game with the well-endowed one, Nick Mullens. The Giants seem to be following our footsteps of playing well enough to be in games, but not good enough to win them. Eli Manning is dodging more bullets than the Beater was, and Saquon Barkley is running against stacked lines and 9 in the box.
The Giants? Man, what a shit show. They are 22nd in yardage given up, and 22nd in points allowed. 25th against the run, 23rd against the pass. Their offense is as equally bad. 21st in yards per game, 27th in points per game, 9th in passing yards (!), and 31st in rushing. Even with Saquon.
Not that we are any great shakes in any of these categories,
- D: 12th yds given up; 26th in points given up; 19th passing,; 13th rushing
- O: 20th yards; 18th points; 23rd passing, 4th rushing
But that is why they play the game. Even if all it does is solidify someone’s abjectly shitty season. My only solace is to see if BDN shrivels up under the scrutiny. I think he keeps it going, and the defense feasts on another shitty team.
28-13 Niners.
Forty Niners Forever 
Unreal. How do we just let guys run free so often?
Just total shit coverage by Smith!!
Exum let him go for no reason.
Maybe cause he had a pick 6 Chuck 😂
Nice stick by Sherman..
Sherman has made a lot of nice one-on-one tackles on Barkley.
If they lose this game it will because Kyle did not believe Mullen could throw the ball to win.
Giants offense 3 passes 1 run
Hell of another doofus play Smith!!
You suck!!
Flag parade now.
One more sack.
That’s a terrible call.
Fuckin BS penalty!!!
Latest fuckin flag I’ve ever witnessed after a play!!!
Get a goddamn sack for God’s sake. 32 fucking sacks they’ve given up.
If Engram catches that ball game over.
Jesus. We can rush 7 and no one gets close,
Can someone tell me why running the ball is better than the pass??
Shanny can’t close a game to save his life.
Fire Saleh!!
Fuck me. I guess the Giants are not tanking
Making all these other teams look good. Except for the Raiders.
Like I said, I will let a team run up and down the field, who can’t score, but I will pass the ball to win!
Guess we’re gonna pass now Kevin.Too little to late of course..
Yep, and it will take a TD to win!
That’s another thing that pisses me off, they burned a TO 50 seconds into the 2nd half?? For what??
Yep.
Well, this is kinda fun anyway.
If they had called these plays on the last set of downs they might have gotten a TD instead of a FG
Yep
Shanahan does nothing to dissuade me from my thought that he struggles closing games. Yet another 4th quarter loss. That’s at least 5 this season.
Right. Playing it safe on the FG drive was playing not to lose. Bad shit.
This is the thing, Kyle knows the Niners aren’t going to the playoff, he has a rookie QB. What did he think Mullen’s was going to go his whole career without an interceptions? Kyle should have mixed in some passes instead of running g Breida the previous series. Manning and the Giants, pass, and pass some more. Pass and pass till the D stops it. The way the rules are in today’s game defenses have a hard time stopping the pass, the last call on the Niners that gave the Giants a first down on the 20? Is a prime example.
Well said.
Creative Tanking 101
Yeah that’s all true but the defense sucks ass. All these high picks are no-shows, I don’t know if it is scheme or bad players, but how many times do we let guys simply run free on pass routes? How many times can guys be out of position? Malcolm Smith was supposed to anchor the linebackers. He’s useless. As is Nkomadi or whatever his name is.
Eli is a statue and we got to him once. They give up 4 sacks a game and we didn’t touch him.
There’s nothing wrong with running the ball, but you go play-action on 1st down when you are in the red zone, That is when you take shots. Not pay it safe.
