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 
Wiso just carving up Pats defense 14/92 yards 2TD’s throw in Hasty with a few big runs as the OL is dominant right now!!
Time consuming too
Cam can’t hurt you if he don’t have the ball
Wish Jimmy threw that further.
Right about now B Belly is wishing NE had not traded away JG
And how embarrassed should C Newton be, going against 2nd and 3rd string guys.
Yes! No!
Goddamnit.
WIsh Jimmy threw THAT straighter.
This injury thing they have going is un-fucking-believable. I’ve never seen anything like it or even close. The finally get a back to step up and grab the spot with authority and scream, “I ain’t coming out, ever!” and he fucking goes down. Snake bit, absolutely snake bit.
Newton looks like he’s finished.
It looked like a calf for Wilson. Hopefully not another goddamn ACL. Feel bad for the kid. He was playing his ass off and with attitude. He looks like the real deal to me, big, strong, shifty, good foot speed.
Yeah, Wilson looks out for a while.
Yeah it’s brutal LJ ! What a game Wilson was having 3 TD’s 112 yards 32 fantasy points which I’m sure no one had in a league but still.Most TD’s in a road game since Roger Craig, nice company to be acknowledged with…
Fig Newton with another pick wow he sucks!
Guess he will look better in one of his pimp suits after the game atleast ha ha
Juice is having a hell of an all around game.
With Deebo and now Aiyuk, there’s no reason they shouldn’t be going to their wideouts more often. Each of those guys has star potential. And, as if on cue, Deebo goes down. What the fuck.
The NFL has to outlaw artificial turf. Guys get hurt doing nothing.
I think it’s time to pull all the starters. This is ridiculous. They have a big enough lead. If Deebo’s injury is serious, I’m going to shit. And yes, get rid of that fucking turf.
I will never ever understand running the ball when you are down 4 TD’s.
I don’t care if it is a backup QB
Hasty is explosive as well, quick with great feet and shiftiness.
Didn’t see a 49er blowout coming. The Pats clearly aren’t very good right now, but still a very nice and dominant win on the road.
Yup. 3-0 on the east coast. 1-3 at home.
Wilson got his ankle rolled. Could be bad, won’t know for a few days. Deebo’s hamstring could also be a problem. Those can linger a while.
Great game, Great Win, and the Injury Fairy fucks us with the sandpaper condom again.
Wilson’s ankle got rolled. Don;t know how bad. Didn’t look good, though.
Deebo was a hammy. Didn’t look terrible, but I have no idea.
Let the Cardinals and Seahawks beat up on each other tonight. Seattle cannot be a 6-0 team.
After that Miami debacle, I’ll take the last two weeks. Good job of bouncing back.
This was a great 49er win and classic Shanny. I honestly didn’t think our defense would be so good today. Makes you wonder if and when everyone gets healthy again.
Like if they had an actual pass rush. It’s hard not to wonder how good they could’ve been without not only the injuries, but injuries to their most important players.
Were we good, or was Fig Newton just terrible? We did stop their run game, and even their QB run plays didn’t kill us. The pressure was decent, and the coverage was solid for the most part. 4 picks isn’t a joke.
Great game all around though. Except for the motherfucking Wilson injury. Deebo as well. Haven’t heard anything yet. Warner was outstanding. As were Juice, Kittle, Aiyuk, and Deebo.
And Jimmy. Just the one bad overthrow to Kittle.
Excellent analysis, Chuck! Very well said! This was so thoughtful!! Thank you for sharing this gem. Excellent game from Santa Clara’s fanless team!
That goes well with your friendless life.
Hyuk!
First year without Brady, what a fall off in play, and C Newton, wow, what happened to him
Reading some of the NE blogs, and they are all over Belichick for not going after WRs in a WR-deep class. The Pats have no offensive weapons and little talent.
