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 
There’s no shame In losing to a juggernaut of a team like the New York Giants. I just wish they didn’t make our 49ers look like absolute dipshits every time we play them. But they are a contending team this year with big wins over the Texans, the Niners, and…hmmm. Oh well, bad night at Overpriced Denim Stadium.
I’ll watch the replay later in the week.
Actually had planned a night off with my NYG Buddies to watch this one months ago, until the stink-fest showed up, and everyone lost interest.
Given the current state of our record, (and theirs), it’s a leg up on a Draft slot, so I’m not disappointed.
NYG are apparently Scouting Oregon QB JHerbert already from what’s being reported here.
No need for us to be in the QB Mkt in April so……Pick positioning works.
Yeah, I might be jumping the gun with Justin, but if the Giants aren’t looking for a quarterback, what are they looking for?
Get Carr for a song from the Raiders and use that top draft choice to get multiple picks to fix that OL, fix that D line including getting a pass rush, getting a second WR…
I know it didn’t look like the Giants are pathetic last night. But I’ve seen them multiple times this season, and they have multiple holes which the draft could help.
Herbert’s still the front runner, though, no doubt.
New thread is up.
