Seven players, four 49ers, and three Packers, tested positive, or were in close contact with a positive player, for tonight’s game. Yipeee! Fuck this season and the horse it rode in on. Every time I think this season can’t get any worse, it does. So we are down THREE starting wide receivers, one quarterback, two tight ends, three O linemen, three running backs, two defensive ends, a cornerback, a safety, and a partridge in a pear tree.
The NFL, in their consummate disregard for player safety and health, says there’s a 0.0% chance that the game will be postponed, barring an earthquake swallowing up Levi’s stadium, or yet another COVID outbreak among the officiating crew, groundskeepers, or cheerleaders.
The game? Who the fuck knows? I don’t think the Packers are for real, but we have depleted the cupboard down to nothing. You look at the current roster depth, and we have one healthy WR. Trent Taylor. Kevin White is gonna to be elevated from the practice squad, and a couple guys, River Cracraft and Chris Finke, who will get the thrill of playing in front of a prime time audience. Let’s hope they don’t shit the bed and fumble their shot away. Like Dante Pettis.
Here’s a fun fact. Not one skill position player on the Niners played in the NFC Championship game 10 months (decades?) ago.
Frankly, as much shit as I’ve been giving Kyle Shanahan, he has done a pretty amazing job of scheming games around:
a) all the injuries
b) a sucky injured quarterback
Can Shanny do it again? Like the Ram game? I won’t hold my breath, but I think Jordan Reed has been cleared to play, and Ross Dwelley has played pretty well in his chances as a starting TE. They both loook to get a lot of looks. Run game? Hasty should get some chances, and he has to avoid fumbles, but GB does not defend the run well. Mullens gets a shot at redemption for his disastrous Iggles game, and GBs defense is middle of the pack and 20th in points allowed. We need to play fairly perfectly to with this one.
No no no, I’ve already said it. Fuck Winston, Ryan, or whatever fucking retread is mentioned in the article, We have our dogshit QBs in Mullens and The Beater. We may fall far enough to get Trey Lance without trading up.
I still say it is the O-line not the quality of the Niners QB’s.
Williams and Richberg are out, Garland is out, and Hruss was benched, Brunskill was playing center for the first time in 12 years. And I think Brunskill went out with an injury. We are beat up everywhere. Mullens is good at times, but he’s no starter. We need to take our lumps yet again and eat shit next year as we develop a QB,
Pretty sad to admit I was waiting/watching election results all night.
Fuck the NFL 2020.
And I say fuck this election as well this is bullshit that nothing has be decided..
I’m a PAGA fan tonight 😀
Damm I almost hit my Packer prediction of 35-17 by just one point!!!
Close enough for post of the day! Nice call.
This is more fun that that. Excruciating as it is. CNN has been breathlessly saying for 26 hours that we are on the brink of Biden’s win.
To tell y’all the truth, if we draft a guy like Lance, iot would make some sense to get Kaepernick.
Go Birds!
Eagles Falcons ’20
Cardinals too 😀
Communism
Facism
Trumpism
WTFism
I’m hearing we’re signing Josh Johnson as a backup QB. No word on whether Nate Davis is available yet.
#Fuck2020
Josh Johnson? Shaun Hill? Fuck it. Get Kappy. Or let’s get Alex Smith and Frank Gore back and we can reprise the stone age offense.
Gore wouldn’t be the worse sign atleast he never gets hurt lol …
But seriously if they can’t in up drafting one of possible future QB’s in the next draft I could possibly live with Matt Stafford short term,still has a rocket arm, age 31 that’s only 2 years older then Jimmy G with a lot better track record and beens quite durable in his career unlike G man..
Hmmm. Stafford isn’t the worst idea I’ve heard. He would be a stud with Deebo and Aiyuk on the edges. But he’s got 2 years and a buyout left on his restructured deal.
New thread is up.
