Lucky? Who knows? The last time the Niners played here, it was an epic shootout between Tom Brady and Colin Kaepernick. The Niners built a 31-3 lead, pissed it away, but prevailed in the end with a late 40 yard TD from Kappy to Crabtree and won 40-34.
Today? I have no fucking clue. Instead of getting healthier, we are getting hurter. We lost both our starting safeties Tartt and Ward to go along with the rest of the IR brigade in the defensive backfield and all over the D line.
Speaking of defense, we are up against another mobile running QB, so our work is cut out for us. Cam Newton is their leading rusher, so we have to spy his ass. We cannot afford to give up large chuck plays, especially on 3rd down, to bootleg runs, and read-option type plays. Of course that is easier said than done. Passing, Newton is a little less scary with his 2 TDs, 4 picks, 9 sacks, and being the 29th rated passer in the league.
The hope is we can get some pressure on Newton and force a couple picks of our own.
So I guess that means we need to score. And score a lot. And it looks like our walk-on UDFA Frank Gore impersonator, James Hasty, will get some meaningful minutes tomorrow. The Jet has been playing like a Piper Cub lately, so I think Hasty will get some good long looks. He missed the hole on one of his late runs last week, but for the most part, he looked good. The game wasn’t too much for him to handle.
Yeah, we are up against Brian Belichick. But Brian without Tuck-Rule Tom has proven to be less effective. He doesn’t have a very high-powered offense, and his defense is middle-of the -road as well. But we are really hurting. Especially on defense. But since I think we can out-score them, we should win in the end.
This one will come down to special teams, and who makes the least mistakes. How ’bout them Dodgers? Hah! What an awesome end to that game.
Forty Niners Forever 
Bill….Chuck
Master of the NFL head games IMO.
He always plays chess.
He’s always prepared
Can our braintrusts be trusted to give him a challenge?
We shall see.
Mike Shanahan always gave Belichick fits. Hopefully his son follows suit.
Great game last night, best ending I have seen in a long time. Unless the Pats trip over themselves we are gonna have to do a lot to win. With all their injuries on D we have to play mistake free football for the whole 60 minutes. Not sure we can do that.
Brian B is still a good coach, I just don’t think he has the players anymore to execute,. The only thing NE has over the Niners are healthy players. Can the 2nd and 3rd stringers come out and play like last week? Who knows, will be exciting to watch, a lot of Yahoo’s and a lot of WTF was that.
TE’s don’t do well against NE, at least Kelce and Darren Waller of the Raiders were held in check.
So we have to scheme other guys, move Kittle out wide or circle him out of the backfield.
That is exactly what JG needs to do if he wants to be the QB next year
Nice drive so far
That was nice
Nice start
yep glad Wilson’s in there
Let’s hope the defense is up for the challenge.
Don’t get conservative! Hate it when we constantly waste 1st downs.
one step forward two steps back
Aiyuk
Some nice passes by Jimmy early.
Spoke too soon. So much for mistake-free.
Yep
We’re hitting on D at least.
Still need to attack. Can’t go conservative.
I wonder what’s up with the Jet and hasty
Jet has looked beat up. Hasty I thought I’d see more of.
Too many mistakes and penalties. But we are up 7. D needs to keep up the pressure.
Wilson looks like the lead back today with 10 carries already for 47 yards not bad..
Wrong routes run or JG
There you go. Warner is a stud. Hell of a play.
Alright Fred! Great pick!
Let’s go get more points!
Wilson running with fury, just bullying NewEngland with power runs!
There you go. Nice blocking.
Jooooz
Fuck. Doink!
Love it. Hasty looking Frank-like.
I hope he can keep it up
Wow fucking wilson
Jimmy called out of the play for that. Great job.
