Just when you think it’s safe to call the Carolina game a rousing success the medical news comes back as bad. Kyle Shanahan actually kept his foot near the accelerator as the team finally scored consistently in the 2nd half of yesterday’s game. Granted, the last TD was the result of ‘hey-I’m-about-to-be-fired’ lizard-man Matt Rule going for in on 4th and 10 on his own 10 yard line. Derp. Still and all, the offense scored 20 points in the 2nd half. Prolly all of last season’s worth of 2nd half points scored.
Jimmy spread the ball around to 7 WRs with a solid 18-30 253, 2 TDs and NO PICKS. Aiyuk had a strong game, George Kittle had some nice grabs, and Jauan Jennings had the catches of the day, breaking tackles and getting much-needed 1st downs down the stretch. Jeff Wilson had 120 yards on the ground, and Tevin Coleman came back to the fold and contributed a couple outstanding catches and a rushing TD to go along with nice catch and run for the first score.
The defense was great, contributing 6 sacks, another defensive TD, and they neutralized Carolina’s big weapon, Christian McCaffery. he had a 50 on the ground/50 catching and a TD, but he was not a big factor.
Sure, there were a couple early penalties that extended a couple drives, but overall a strong game by the O and D. Special teams? Well, they had 2 lapses on kickoffs that resulted in Robbie Gould having to make tackles. The first one he seemed to hurt his shoulder. The 2nd one he appeared to hurt his knee.
Speaking of injuries, we lost Emmanuel Moseley for the season. Another victim of the fucking fake grass some of these cheap-fucking-skate fucking owners subject players to. Jimmie Ward returned to his broken ways, coming back for a grand total of one play where he broke his hand. Whether he tries to play with that remains to be seen, but I saw Jimmy Johnson intercept a pass back in 1970 with casts on BOTH hands. More recently, Patrick Willis played with casts on both hands at one point.
Also, Nick Bosa went out early in the 3rd quarter. Don’t know the extent of his groin injury, but I’m sure the news will be out there soon enough. So, we are down AA, Bosa, J Ward, Gould, Kinlaw, Williams, McKivitz, Moseley, Jason (everything hurts and I’m dying) Verrett, and Al-Shaair. Yet the defense continues to do well.
We are staying in Virginia for the week for the upcoming Atlanta game, hopefully some of these guys get healthy and this team stops losing players every fucking weekend.
At some point, Jed has to look at this training staff and say WHAT THE FUCK, GUYS?!?!? DO YOUR FUCKING JOB!!
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
My take on this is if they re-evaluate on Wednesday the injury is probably not a long term deal. But then WTF do i know.
From rotoworld
Speaking Monday, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Nick Bosa (groin) will be re-evaluated on Wednesday.
Bosa has been diagnosed with a groin strain after exiting Week 5’s game against the Panthers. Already thin along the defensive line, the 49ers can ill-afford to lose Bosa, who leads the team in both sacks and tackles for loss. It’s unlikely we’ll learn anything on Bosa’s Week 6 status prior to Wednesday.
This game has had what, 35 penalties? be nice to see the Raiders beat the Chefs.
There’s Raydurrrr football. Defensive holding on a FG! 43 penalties on the black and silver. Tie the game on the road late?
Again, yet another team doesn’t go for the tie on the road and loses the game. KC was stupid to go for 2 as well. Just dumb stuff.
I wouldn’t even bother playing Bosa back on another turf track with a dicey groin, the Falcons are barely better then the Panthers with no real offensive weapons,Pitts has been the Pitts, ( Niners are tough on TE’s anyway not named Kelce)Patterson on DL, London could be their best option but not worried much. Mariota lol don’t think so are even the backup Ridder?against the 49ers defense forget it.49ers will get another win easily 34-13
Give Bosa the extra week off so he will be completely healthy in a meaningful game against the KC Chiefs the following week at home and on grass where he really will be needed against Mahomes &Kelce and their potent offense..
yeah, that does sound like the right thing to do. I just don’t take any team for granted anymore. I think it was either last year or the year before that we played Atlanta and we shoulda stomped em but we ended up losing because we played like crap.
Yeah, they were like 7-9 and they beat us. Went 13-3 that season. Derp.
Yeah, I’d rest him. Kinlaw looks to be broken forever. Another wasted 1st round pick. Sure wish we woulda tried a little harder to keep DeFoBu.
The order of the day for Shanahan’s teams, and Jimmy as well, is consistency. We are all over the place. We are always battling injuries, and we win or lose at the whim of Jimmy’s wildly inconsistent passing game. When he doesn’t turn the ball over, we win. Sure, that’s true of many teams, but there’s no wiggle room where it comes to Jimmy. One fuckup can ruin a game.
Funny, you look at Matty Ice, and after 2 years of Shanahan, was MVP.
RG III, before Shanny and dad killed him, was ROY under Shanahan.
Matt fucking Shaub was a pro bowler after a couple years under Shanny.
Jimmy? Well, the Shanny effect seems to have missed the mark with Garoppolo.
Is he stupid? Is he just not good? Or is he not trying hard enough?
I wish I knew.
Yeah, Kinlaw has been a big disappointment. I don’t blame the staff for going after him though. Dude is a monster to bad he’s made out of glass.
Kinlaw had knee issues in college.
Yeah, they probably did fuck up but the gamble was legit.
New thread is up.
