Game X – The Downward Spiral

Not much to say about this one. Last year’s battle was an epic shootout the 49ers won 48-46. With our defense at close to full strength. Now? Not so much on either side of the ball.

I really don’t see a scenario where the plucky understudies come through and bring the team to victory, but I didn’t think we’d beat the Rams. This however is a different animal. Brees is having another huge year with 2100 yards, 17 TDs, and only 3 picks.

We of course have Nick Mullens. 11 yards, 5 TDs 4 picks. Good news? Brendan Aiyuk is off the COVID list and will play. As is Kendrick Bourne. Rick James had a career game last week. 9 for 183 and a TD.

So, we may get some points. I’m thinking 42- 24.

    Hate to say it, Winder, but our philosophy looks to be control the clock if possible.

  2. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Rick James is coming on nicely.

  3. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Huh. That was fairly easy.

  4. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    And that was fairly stupid. Establish the inside game before trying that.

  5. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Well, Shanny out-coached himself there.

    Any breaks we can get to keep Brees on the sidelines works for me.Keep dominating the clock!!

    Pass protection still sucks

  8. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Blehhh. Woulda been nice to get 7. Can’t pick up the blitz.

  9. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    There’s how you lose all your momentum.

  10. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Special teams does great on on play and gives it up on another

  11. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Considering, that was a nice stand by the D.

  12. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Need to keep up with the play action on 1st down. Passing on 1st down.

  13. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Jeeesus. Unreal catch. And we punt. Fucking stupid. We are not gonna go anywhere, The best bet is to keep the ball out of Brees’ hands.

  14. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Wow. Fucking stupid.

  15. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    WTF that was a fucking terrible roughing the passer penalty on Brees Fuck that!!!

  16. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Even the announcers say it was a terrible call

  17. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Fuck the NFL. Horrible call.

  18. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Why is the the RB 8 yards of the ball? Talk about telegraphing your plays

  19. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Blocking their safety might help.

  20. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Wasting 1st downs again. Helmet to helmet on the KR, no call. Mullens hit on the slide, no call. Lineman on the line in a crouch, illegal formation. I hate the NFL. It has become even more of a joke.

  21. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    That is a fucking disgrace.

  22. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Well when you don’t have pass protection the D knows you are going to have to run

  23. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    We should have thrown the ball on 3rd and pro bably 4th also. Shanny is so predictable at times.

  24. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    That was so predictable when they brought in Taysom Overrated Hill. Every time he goes in he runs the ball.Great stack up led by Kinlaw!!

  25. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Mullens you Suck!!
    How could you not see the CB sitting there?
    Way to kill that scoring opportunity you sleaze ball..

  26. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Wow. The D can’t do much more.

  27. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Is McKinnon the worst blocking back in the NFL?

  28. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    What is wrong with D Brees

  29. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    The receiver was not even close to the first down marker
