Sue me, I’m early with this. Got a busy day at work (yes I have a real job), and I’m watching the World Series, and I’ll probably be on BART when the game starts, so here we go. Taking a look at the handy dandy results on the side of this place, and I see that we haven’t beat the Cards since 2014. The dregs of the the Harbaugh era. The garbage game at the end of that woebegone season. IOW, a long fucking time.
But that was then, this is now. Since no one was too keen on my idea of resting some of the starters, I guess we play and hope we come out of this game healthy. As healthy as one can be after playing 2 games in 5 days. Richard Sherman was very outspoken about these Thursday night games, he blew out his Achilles on a Thursday night, and all the players certainly feel it, but here we are. Playing our 2nd division game. One of 3 in a row. AZ, Sea, AZ GOt to love the schedulers for this anomaly. At least we get Seattle at home.
Thing is, the Cards have the same schedule as the Niners. In other words, fodder. Yet they are 3-4-1. They beat the Giants, the Falcons, and the Bengals. Seattle, the Ravens, the Saints, and the Panthers have beaten them. They are always tough at their house, and we seem to be cursed against them, but shit, we got this.
33-17 Niners.
Fantastic read by Jimmy G on that one.
Saleh got lucky there. I HATE that defense when they drop guys 20 yards off the line. It doesn’t work.
Just can’t seem to put this team away!!
They need to score. TD here, none of this conservative run shit
That screen woulda got 20. We run on 1st down 99% of the time.
They sure have to cleanup these drops by the receivers and RB! Jimmy stats would be off the charts without them..
I sure would like to see us go play action more on 1st down.
D needs to come up with something here. We were too far off the line that last drive.
Someone on defense needs to put this game away.
Well that wasn’t it.
See, this is why screens suck when you need to throw the ball down the field, now they cannot be conservative, go get the win!!!
We are going to lose, quit fucking running the ball
Of course the receiver has to catch the ball
Good pass good catch
They still need to score here
We just need to run the clock out. they’d better not change this call.
Gutsy 3rd down run. Told my son they were gonna run. And they got it. Juuuuust enough.
Now go play action deep. Shanny needs to dial more that runs up the gut.
If they don’t get a 1st down here there will be too much time on the clock, AZ last TB took less than 2 mins
Yikes false start
Ballgame!!!!!!
Yes!!!
8 and 0 a thing of beauty
Smart play by Jimmy and Dwelley to finish it.
They dont always have to look good but when you end up 8-0 that’s all that matters!
Really a tremendous game for Jimmy G , showed a lot of pocket presence and delivered in the clutch!!!
Yeah, this one is on Jimmy for making the plays he needed to. Even with the drops that could have killed a couple drives. Hell of a game. Kyler Murray is gonna be a pain in the ass for a while.
Jimmy played his best game as a Niner tonight. Those timing passes were a thing of beauty. And the one to Deebo was perfect even though it was dropped. Jimmy showed some real touch.
Sanders is a godsend. He’s done so much in these 2 games.
At least we finally beat those assholes. Saleh better hit the film room. We let a mediocre rb kill us tonight. They are gonna have to put someone to shadow murray in two weeks the guy is dangerous he is just too fast.
The only stat I don’t like is AZ scored 11 points in the 4th Q, 49ers scored 0, not good!
Next 3 games ar home, let’s hope home field advantage is just that!!
Saleh had better figure out how to handle a scrambling QB, A Rodgers will be a handful
