Here we are in the thick of things. Funny how expectations go from “Gee, I hope we get a wildcard spot” to “Shit, we just lost the 1 seed!!” It is a three team race for the #1 seed, and we play 2 of them in our last 4. Win tomorrow and it won’t really solve any issues, but it would put pressure on Seattle to keep up. Lose tomorrow, and we are the 5 seed playing in either Dallas or Philly, unless Seattle really blows it.
The Rams? I have no faith in them to do anything but lay down like the dogs they are.
The Saints? Well, if this season has proven anything it’s that mobile QBs give us problems. And Drew Brees is anything but mobile. He ain’t even from Alabama. Dee Ford got an extra week off of rest, and Nick Bosa is chomping at the bit to hit a QB, so I feel like we can shut their offense down. I didn’t see any of these wipeouts coming, but I don’t think this is one of those.
But I don’t think we sweat this one too much. 31-17. Niners. Unless Jimmy G plays give-away. If anything worries me about this team, it is Jimmy’s turnover issues.
At this point it’s all about prove it or lose it. We have to play good enough football to win out. If we don’t we shouldn’t be there in the first place. Jimmy has to clean up his act some with the turnovers because good teams will beat us because of them. I love it, haven’t had this much fun for years. I think we kick the Saints ass today.
Staley is out today and I think that’s a good thing. Let him return against the Falcons where he can knock the rust off and get ready for the playoffs at home against a less threatening opponent and where he can hear the snapcount.
Niners should win this one.
Conflicting reporting, Niners reporting he is active after all.
I preferred the first report I read.
Saints at home and Drew Breese, don’t count them out just yet. This should be like the Green Bay game. We will see in20 mins kickoff
Looks like NO came to play
Yep take nothing for granted, they are a SB winner, going to the playoffs
Yeah, at least we hit him once. We need to keep that up all day. Wear his ass out.
Again, though, this is about Jimmy G and the mistakes. We cannot afford any against the Saints. They WILL capitalize on turnovers.
Nice read by Jimmy G there, the play was to Kittle. Wow!! Love the slant!!
BNo on the wildcat
Yes!!!!!
Looks like we came to play also
I have to say after the Seattle game the receivers hav e really stepped up! The Seattle game they were dropping passes left and right.
Jimmy G looked awesome on that drive. The Bill Walsh playbook of using the pass to set up the run.
So far the D is struggling.
Shit. This looks like a shootout. Need to get in there faster.
Gonna be a tough day. We miss Tartt.
Wow. Really dontt like the Kittle biplane sweep.
Stasley getting beat and penalized.
well, we are getting our asses handed to us
Wow!!!!!!! Sanders is worth every pick we gave up. Outstanding!!!!!
Go ahead load the box to stop the run
Didn’t see the D getting torched like this. Ford is already out.
Shit defense is sucking right now!!
And now Witherspoon is hurt..
D has been on the field lot already.
That’s because the Niners are scoring quickly
5 plays to score their first TD, and 1 play to score the second and. 3 and out
Too many injuries on defense, all year long. It’s taken it’s toll. Saleh had better have some halftime weapons-grade magic or we’re going to lose this one.
What did they do chill on the beach and bang babes all week in Florida? Their definitely getting handled by Saints offense…
Shit. Gert a fucking stop, defense!! Unreal so far.
Holy Shit. How often do you see a Flea Flicker actually work?
That well? Under pressure like that? Unreal.
D is getting no rest. We’ve run 13 plays.
Shit I wish we had Alexander, Ford, and Tartt right now. The defense is just a little overmatched. We need someone to make a big play.
Finally!!! A big play by the D
Nick Bosa is our best draft pick in 25 years. Fight me.
this fucking game is not what I thought it would be. totally crazy.
Ugly holding penalty. Even Stevie Wonder would have seen that. How the Hell does 32 think he’s going to get away with that? Dumb.
No shit. Hate that.
25 years? Let’s see. That goes back to 1997? I’m going with Kentwan Balmer.
HA!
I was thinking since BY. Now I’d entertain the argument that Willis is right there with him. But even Willis did not have this much immediate impact. Bosa is superman in red and gold. Without him, we’d be 7-5 instead of 10-2.
What a play by Bosa being held as well!
Saints getting to cute using Hill, you know he’s gonna run so stuff the box! Rather he takes more snaps then Brees any day..
What the fuck??????
OK.
Now that Jimmy has torched them for TD’s the run game has opened up
Need to burn clock for a change. Get the TD and get the ball in the 3rd.
Saints thinking that too.
Goddamn but Shanahan can come up with plays.
Unresal play.
Scary as fuck. That was almost blown up.
Goddamnit Celek.
Dumb penalties.
Mostert!
Wow
BOOOOOM!!! Moisty for the lead!!!!
That extra point looms . . .
So how are we enjoying our defensive battle? LOL
Still got to stop Brees now.
Shit. We scored too fast.
Maybe not!! Thanks, Sean!!!!!
Great play by Buckner.
Mostert is a savage! Hits the holes, no hesitation!
Dude already has 22 pts in fantasy today before the half..
To have Brees get 4 TDs in 4 drives – and we still end the half with a one point lead? I’ll take that.
Yeah, and he’s our#3 back
Chuck they blew your 34-17 score right out of the water! Ha ha
Oh Shit. I was just thinking second half turnovers would decide this.
Ooops.
Like the blitz.
Hell of a stand.
Need to answer with a touchdown here. Get the offense back into full rhythm. Don’t want another game where Brees gets the ball last and beats us at the gun like last week.
Only 3 points off a pick and on the Niners 40 yard line, I will take that
Shit. That was awful and Richburg goes down.
Fuck. Richburg is done.
Aggressive all day then they hand off a stacked box and get stuffed on that 3rd down run, not thrilled with that call!!
Horrible looking injury. Probably done for the year.
There’s OUR turnover!
Yeah Baby Fumble recovery for Buckner!!!
Ohb hell yeah!!!!
First and goal. Punch this Fucker in!
YES.
Oh, yeah, baby!!
Kittle for 6!!!
Now we need a defensive stop, and get a cushion.
This won’t be over till the clock runs out on Brees. Or on us.
I liked what the play by play guys said when Sean Payton said juicy is by far the best fullback in the game..Isn’t he the only one?
We should have vchasllenged OPI
Wow Mike Nolan now just a LB coach.The mighty has fallen…
Too many penalties.
Shit the 49ers are going to need more scores, cause I have a feeling Saints are going 4 down mode every series.
Bosa again…
Bosa fantastic instincts sniffing out that swing play!
Big opportunity. Need to take advantage.
We could really use some of that KS play calling magic here on 2nd and 11.
Third and long.
Middle of our line not as strong with Richburg out.
Deebo for the BIG first down…
Payton is such a little cunt.
I digito that Grump!
I laugh he’s on the board of rule changes but his team is the one that always still gets rear ended…
That was HUGE to get 6 and now 2 possession game!
Nine point lead. Now the defense needs to get it done.
Kyle needs to not go into the run only mode, when they get the ball back, especially if NO scores here
Don’t give up any cheap big plays. Make them work for it, wait for them to make an error.
That’s nothing Sherman didn’t do for years in Seattle – but the refs are no longer letting ti go.
And there’s the big play we didn’t want to give them. FUCK!
Nothing comes easy this year.
We need a touchdown drive now. No field goals unless there’s less than 30 seconds left.
You can’t go 3 and out here
A TD puts it away
