So, did the Charger win over the Chiefs, their first in 11 tries, give anyone any hope that we can stop our prolonged 10 game skid vs Seattle?
No?
Why not? The defense played better than they had much of the season last week against a decent if not solid Broncos team. Maybe the kids ARE alright. Malcolm Smith rode the bench, Earl Mitchell as well, to make way for Elijah Lee and DJ Jones. The DBs were in the right places for the most part, safety Marcell Harris had a nice game, and we weren’t leaving guys wide open all over the place.
Encouraging for this game, right? Hey, we have to break this streak eventually. Why not now? Seattle is coming off an emotional win vs a strong Minnesota team on a short week.
I’ve been wrong before, I’ll be wrong again.
19-13 SF.
This is hands down one of the best videos ever made . . .
Same as it ever was . . . same as it ever was . . . same as it ever was . . . same as it ever was . . . same as it ever was . . .
My favorite Talking Heads song, good memories tied up with up.
“up with it” oops
Seattle is playing for their playoff lives, I don’t think we have a chance.
Heh heh! Yer probably right. But they have to beat Seattle at some point.
And of course there’s this . . .
That was great
LOL!
Wow, I didn’t even know R. Lee Ermey, “Siege of Firebase Gloria”, “Full Metal Jacket”, died earlier this year. Dude was an actor but could have been portraying my uncle, a real life WWII, Korea, Vietnam Marine lifer, decorated sergeant-major. RIP belatedly.
He was a Marine D I in real life.
The Nevada Wolf Pack have a power forward named Jordan Caroline. His father is Simeon Rice, the former NFL DE. I doubt Jordan will make an NBA roster. He would probably make for a great TE in the NFL. This guy is usually the most physical player on the court and he has some great moves. He’s already been the Mountain West Player of the Week twice this year.
Just thinking out loud! We would be able to sign him after the draft, if he is even interested.
Has he played any college football?
No, he played high school football.
Tony Gonzalez was a power forward at Cal and became the GOAT at NFL TE (1 fumble in his CAREER??). But he learned TE from Mariucci at Cal.
We need a #2 TE. Celek ain’t cutting it. No harm giving this kid a look (practice squad to learn TE?)
as an UDFA.
Antonio Gates was a BB player who did not play football in college.
JPP never played organized football until his senior year. Tore it up, athletic freak. Giants drafted him and still miss him, two fingers now or no.
Now that was a basketball 🏀 game by the Kings and Warriors!
The Kings youth showed. The Warriors played till the end. The Kings should have been feeding Fox all night. He was on fire. Instead you had guys like Shumpert shooting 3s.
Sure we can take some shots on UDFA’s but we gotta be real careful with everyone else. We certainly need lots of help on defense but we could use some WR’s that could stay on the field for some length of time.also. We need our QB to be the gunslinger that we know he can be.
There are a shit-ton of UFA WRs but no one that’s a true #1. Golden Tate, Randall Cobb, or even Tavon Austin would be solid additions though.
Have to go with the Bears this week. If they lose and the Rams win they clinch a 1st rd bye.
I just don’t want the fucking Rams to sleep on the last game.
Shanny Jr on the Seahawks ” I’ve been sick of them for a long time”.
Love it, a coach without the B.S. banal quotes, just straight up tells it like it is.
Darnold played a good game against a red hot Texans team. Better team and he could be a very good QB.
Mayfield has been everything the doctor ordered for Cleveland.
Barkley is an all-out stud, the best rookie RB I’ve seen in a good long while. Power, broken tackles and amazing speed, and an excellent pass receiver.
Darnold looks like he could be very good FQB (right coach, right team).
First three picks of last year’s draft…
That’s right, there are Saturday games. Tex beat the jets, Browns and Broncs coming up.
The Texans are a tough team to judge. They’ve won 10 of 11. They also haven’t beaten anybody good. Pats, Chargers, Chiefs are all better but you can’t ignore a team on a roll like they are.
Mayfield’s accuracy is way off tonight. He’s missing passes you would think are money for a guy like Jimmy G. He is an outstanding game manager for a rook, though, smart young QB. I’ve also seen him burn teams repeatedly with the long ball.
Accuracy has to improve to make the next level.
Gunslinger – no Alex Smith he – lol, shows a lot of good and bad.
Good game, up in the air till the last minute. 6 wins now for the “hapless” Browns.
How many hours before Vance Joseph is packing up his belongings?
B2B losses to SF and Cleveland?
U-Haul time……
Yeah can’t see him lasting beyond this season.
McGlinchey is highest ranked O line rookie:

Good pick, future LT.
Agreed 12th.
I’m entertaining the thought, that Lynch could opt for another OT next April, if we miss/pass on a DE.
There’s probably enough talent in this Class to get a pass rusher beyond the Top 3?
Paying an OT big money is probably a safe long-term Contract to entertain?
Like McGlinchey, grabbing the highest rated OT would be a good investment.
By comparison, Richburg hasn’t impressed me whatsoever.
Hope they have their eyes on a young replacement from this Draft too.
Keeping my eye on OC Sam Mustipher from ND during the Bowl Bonanza stretch.
Another product of the Coaching that produced McGlinchey and Quenton Nelson this year.
Both Top 10 Picks of course.
Mustipher won’t go anywhere near that level, by current rankings.
The kid from NCST Garrett Bradberry, is another good one to follow. He appears to be a bit more nimble than Mustipher.
Centers are generally much less expensive in Draft terms.
Yeah, Westie’s been fairly mediocre for the money he got. Looney is now starting in Dallas, and Kilgore in Miami. Not sure why they gave up on Kilgore. He played much better once Garoppolo started playing last year.
Watching the Denver game now. Nice to see them lose again. Keenum is a complete waste of time.
Elway continues to steer the team into the rocks.
Must say, Denver and Seattle are the worst at giving hometown calls to their team.
