Yeah, we need the time to lick our wounds and healthy up. But a 2-week break to stew over the sudden departure of our defense is gonna lead to tons of speculation. This talk of moving Wilks to the field is pretty stupid to me. He obviously doesn’t want to do it. So, why force the issue when the problem isn’t where he is, it’s where his players are.
This team used to smother short passes and slants with 3-4 guys hitting every WR/RB/TE on every play. Now? Well, we are chasing every pass catcher and are 3-4 yards away from every one. Our dominant D line would stuff every run play for a 0-2 yard gain. Now we regularly get gashed for 5-6 yards. On 1st down. This defense was forcing 3-and-outs 5-6 times a game. Now we don’t get one.
Once all that short shit and run game is rolling, then we are primed to get beat downfield. Which is happening. In the end, the 49ers end up in chase mode. And our second coming of Joe is kinda gagging it up. He;s forcing shit late and it shows.
Four 4th quarter picks in these last 2 games is not finishing strong. Granted, we don’t get the ball nearly as much as we were even at the beginning of the season, but Purdy’s ridiculous fuckup on the 8 yard line was stupid beyond belief. It was 1st down for fuck’s sake! Fall down. Take the 2 yard loss. We should have tied the game there, but instead are still trailing.
And the thing is, the defense finally made a stand. We have great field position at our 45 so, Purdy throws another pick that is returned to our 24. Next play? Burrow TD pass. Game over.
Well, not even then. There’s more.Purdy does bounce back and lead a fairly quick TD drive of 75 yards. The D however is not up to the task of slowing down Cincy. They go on a 6 minute drive of 78 yards. In that drive we didn’t even force a 3rd down, let alone a 4th down.
So yeah. Game over. 31-17. Purdy does lead another drive where he throws another pick that is happily negated by a roughing the passer call. But Purdy then gets strip-sacked.
3 turnovers to finish the game off. Yeah, the defense isn’t playing well. But those turnovers will kill any effort. Our huge early turnover plus has taken a big hit.
Games 1-5 – 9 takeaways, 2 giveaways = +7
Games 6-8 – 4 takeaways, 7 giveaways = -3
Say what you will about our defense, but this offense bears a big part in these losses.
San Francisco 49ers Forever

Lol Chuck on Wilks get rid of the bum 🤯
Walk the plank, Frank Nitty says rub him out put the hit on Wilks immediately!!
CB need would be a nice addition heard rumors about Bears young CB Jaylon Johnson wants to be traded ( hey it’s the Bears I would want out too) a good corner, move Lenior to the slot,Oliver to the bench as man he’s been torched way to often!
Other’s not as good but depth CB Donte Jackson,Denico Autry DL,
Commanders just traded DL Montez Sweat to the Bears for a 2nd rd 2024 pick didn’t expect the Bears to be buyers?
Seahawks picking up DTLeonard Williams was huge for them saying they’re all in, Niners need to counter with Lynch working the phones! Plus the 49ers have 80 million cap space to use top 3 in the league let’s use some and improve the team some more! Yeah and I would be in on OL depth as well..
Would love to get jaylon Johnson. This team is not slowing down anyone;s passing game and better coverage is key to doing this.
Chase Young traded to 49ers
Easily the biggest trade news of the day so far. The 49ers acquire a former first-round pick and Pro Bowl pass rusher in Young,
Yeah couldn’t get my scoop out quick enough NJ well done sir! Yeah I’m stoked they gave up just a 3 rd it’s a total steal if he stays healthy and now has extra time off with the bye week to learn the system! Perfect timing!
Reported that we gave up a 3rd RD pick.
Well the 49ers just improved their pass rush!!
They just acquired Commanders DE Chase Young ( the bookend with Nick BOSA )for just a 3rd rd pick in 2024! Oh yeah I’m stoked just stay healthy Chase this is a steal in my book!! Let’s roll!!!! Maybe more up Lynch’s sleeves?
Chase Young is a head case who gets injured a lot. If it just a 3rd rd pick for a good pass rusher until the end of the year, I am OK with it.
A rental for us AK but it might be the missing piece to an anemic pass rush
I still want Jaylon Johnson. Young is good when healthy, but we need corner help.
We should trade Kinlaw for him. Throw in a couple picks.
We have shit ton of picks. Get CB Johnson.
Shit. Looks like the Steelers are gonna get Johnson.
Unless they are just sweetening the pot for Chicago.
Well, now everyont is saying Johnson to stay in Chicago.
But we still have 5 minutes!!! Give them Kinlaw and a 3rd round pick.
I think our biggest problem on defense is the play calling. Wilkes is almost as vanilla as Mike Nolan. He plays the LBs too far back most of the time. It nullifies the pass rush because the ball just comes out quick for a 5 or 6 yard gain. I don’t see a lot of stunts with the D-line. He doesn’t blitz very often and when he does, he often doesn’t cover the safety valve. The other issue is Oliver. We’ve been used to having some really good nickels. Oliver lacks compared to what we are used to seeing.
Oliver is definitely the weak link. And yeah you are seeing what I am seeing. We would regularly kill short passes by having 3-4 guys right there to stop any progress. Now we are in chase mode. I haven’t seen a stunt in quite a while.
Throw in all the missed tackles last week, and this becomes a serious issue with the coaching staff. They aren’t getting these guys ready to be in position to make plays. And they are not making plays.
I hope Young really makes a diff, but something has to give.
We are gonna face another tough QB who can move and throw deep. On the road. They have to fix this shit NOW. One more loss and we are officially out of the playoff hunt. Sure, it’s early, but we are falling behind a bunch of teams.
Word has it that CB Adoree Jackson was coming to us via trade with NYG.
Didn’t get reported on time.
WTF?
Apparently that was from bullshit account:
According to Wesley Steinberg, who covers the New York Giants and the NFL, the Giants had a trade agreed with the San Francisco 49ers for cornerback Adoree Jackson, but failed to report the trade to the league on time.
Editor’s note: It was a fake account. Whoops! I’ll eat that.
Still, the 49ers were supposedly in on another trade according to a respected reporter who has been around the Bay Area for a long, long time. It just wasn’t with the Giants…maybe.
I could be proven wrong but Chase Young playing bookends with his college teammate BOSA at Ohio St could motivate both even more.They certainly added additional firepower up front with a starting 4 of Young,Hargraves,AA&Bosa then rotational pieces with Kinlaw,Jackson,Ferrel,etc it could make a nightmare possibility for O/C going forward. People look at Young’s injury history torn ACL obviously missed a lot of time rehabbing but now has 5 sacks in the 7 games he’s played so he rounding into shape pretty quickly now and could be a real force, not saying Fred Dean force but wouldn’t that be great?If he plays solid football I don’t see him as a rental at all ,u never have enough players on the line
Just glad Lynch has always been creative and proactive making moves like the fleecing of CMC and knowing he had 80 mil cap space to work with, another prop to the organization’s master with the weird name Padrig Makinmoney work in contact restructuring etc..
If Young does leave in FA, we probably get a 3rd round pick for compensation.
Yeah that’s probably true Berger so really a no lose scenario Capt Kirk,those minority hires are paying off with those 3 H/C hires(McDaniel,Saleh,DeMeco Ryan’s& Redskins front office dude? they poached from us as well anyone else?Players lost comp picks?
I would expect that Kinlaw won’t see a second Contract from us so, he’s likely to be a Comp Pick in waiting.
The word is that we got CYoung with 1 of the coaching Comp picks anyway, house money as they say?
He’s a rental.
As I suspect, he’s looking to land himself in Bosa’s tax bracket in FA.
Incentive enough for him to play for his next deal and maybe garner the hardware in the process.
CMc was also an injury issue in Carolina prior to our deal.
New life with the change of scenery has him on the doorstep of breaking the TD record now.
Just hope Shanny doesn’t wear him down before the stretch run.
From Richard Sherman on Wilks:
https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/steve-wilks-play-calling-defense-richard-sherman/1667041/?amp=1
He certainly seems it the way we do.
Bowl cut Davis cuts ties wish HC and GM midway through the season –
The Raiders have pulled a stunning late-night move, firing both head coach Josh McDaniels and General Manager Dave Ziegler.
Yep. Figures. Prince Valiant should have kept Carr and dumped McDipshit last offseason.
Giving Jimmy Da Pollo the fat contract didn’t do them any favors either.
Aren’t they still paying Gruden too?
Now they’re going to pay McDaniels to chill too.
What a cluster fuck.
Between Mark and Kim Jong Un there’s probably a fat deal waiting for a Barber with some minor semblance of talent.
Shades of Jed, Jimmy-Farts-a-lota nd Mad Mike Martz.
Right?
Don’t remind me, might trigger 9er PTSD 😁
Heh heh! Yeah, the bad old days.
Lol, that is funny.
