This game? Funny, I don’t really have a sense of how this one goes. Vegas has us at 5.5, which is a tick over the 3 points you get for home field. My son things we take them, as do you guys, but I think this one is gonna be a struggle. Everyone keeps saying we haven’t played anyone, but aren’t the Rams someone? Sure, they are on;y 4-3 but they were the NFC Champs last year. But does that make us contenders?
I really don’t know. The defense is for real. That much is obvious. We get constant pressure, and we get turnovers. Even with a backup corner. It’s the offense that I really want to see break out. Jimmy G has been good for stretches, but he still makes ill-advised throws. He reads defenses until he doesn’t. Yeah, we are on a patchwork line ourselves, and that is what worries me about Sunday’s game.
Carolina has 2 solid DEs that have 11 sacks between them. I suspect we run a lot tomorrow as their run D is suspect. What I’d like to see is delayed draws and misdirection. Let these guys overpursue and take advantage of their aggressiveness.
Shooting in the dark, I’ll say 30-27 Niners.
I have a feeling this one is gonna be another defensive game for us and that our offense will struggle. i think that is mostly because just about every WR we have is hurt and out OL is gonna have a real test with these guys. I think we come out on top but it should be low scoring. Robbie will either win it or lose it.
The way we dominated the Rams in their house speaks volumes about this team. The torch may have been passed now to Shanny as the most creative coach in the NFL besides Belicheat.McVay was there for 2 years but the league has caught up to him.Anaylists are all in awe with the schemes Shanny runs, consistently finding mismatches against opponents..
Like our chances here
Stop McAfery
Win
McCaffery is their engine so stopping him on runs and screens is mission 1. We should have Warner (or someone) shadow him. Stop him and everything else grinds to a halt.
Alexander would work . . .
Good news is Deebo had a full practice as did Pettis. Goodwin was out for personal reasons, so he should play. And Sanders. Same system, so he should be fairly acclimated.
Kyle Juszczyk FB Knee out
Mike McGlinchey T Knee out
Raheem Mostert RB Knee questionable
Joe Staley T Fibula doubtful
Ahkello Witherspoon CB Foot out
Marquise Goodwin WR Not Injury Related questionable
I’ll be shoving my way through that Santa Clara defense the way Chuck shoves Natty Ice and McRibs into his mouth during games.
Don’t give up your day job, Cassandra. 😂
Matthews released again so it looks like our WR corps is a little bit healthy.
Hurd and Taylor may not return this season.
I really wanted to see what Hurd can do. Back injuries are fucking tricky I hope he can beat it.
I didn’t realise that Turner is their OC. This is gonna be a very tough game. Saleh is gonna get taxed the whole game i just hope we can keep up.
Turner made a very young Alex Smith look good.
It’s all about McCaffrey.
What’s the wind situation in Santa Clara today? It’s crazy up in Fairfield; 30ish mph sustained with some gusts up 70 or 80 as lovely Vallejo burns. Could be the second week in a row that weather plays a major factor. Both passing and field goals again could be problematic. Guessing that will help keep the score low.
Inactive today:
WR Marquise Goodwin is not available due to a personal/family situation.
Other inactives:
QB C.J. Beathard
DT Jullian Taylor
FB Kyle Juszczyk (knee)
RT Mike McGlinchey (knee)
CB Ahkello Witherspoon (foot)
T Joe Staley (fibula).
Walnut creek its blowing about 60 mph gusts. Nuts. Lost half of a 150 year old oak tree,
Yeah, trees down all over the place around us. At least we have power and no problems with our house.
Sweet. Very nice drive.
Holding my breath on that. Just drove down to San Ramon and it was insane on 680.
Yeah, baby!!! Great start.
It’s always insane on 680. That was a nice 1st drive. Broke in Sanders right off the bat.
Gee Jimmy. Horrible pass. Jesus. How do you not see Keuckly?
Thank God for the D>
He’s keep throwing some real questionable passes. He got lucky on the Kittle reception and that was a pretty tight window to Sanders.
Damn. The o is rolling. Kill kill kill.
Damn Kyle opened up the play book big time! I am loving this!
It appears the left side of the Panthers D is weak on the run and Kyle is taking advantage
I still have no power in San Carlos!! Fuck PGE!!
Was going to go to my local watering hole, but getting drunk at home instead listening to the game on portable radio 📻 Coleman 2TD’s sweet!
Listening to Papa irritating 😠 though!!
How many coaches in the league can go into a game with Norv Turner as OC on the other side, and make Turner look like nothing by comparison?
Kyle’s offense is beginning to look like Walsh’s in 1981 – guys just running wild all over the field, and defenses looking clueless.
LOL… Signing this Coleman guy might not have been such a bad idea.
lol
This running by committee is working very well!! What are the Niners going to do with Mckinnon ?
He’s gone next year. We need to manage the cap carefully starting this year.
Ward and Armstead probably will move on, too.
I hope they keep AA he’s coming on strong 💪
He’s playing great, and of the guys who might be looking to leave, he’s the one I want to keep the most. We might Franchise tag him and try to keep him one year.
The D will give you a couple of passes but then they will drop yo for a loss!
Bosa is a lock for Rookie of the Year.
Nick Bosa is a savage!!
3sacks today7 for the season,in the running for defensive player of the year for sure!
I posted earlier in the week about the Niners being 29th in the league in the red zone, after to day that number will be better
