All this bullshit around BA and Trent, and injuries and cuts and signings and preseason game 1 is tomorrow. In Tennessee. I’m getting a weird feeling about this season. Nothing seems to be going well with all the shit I just mentioned.
Yeah, we got a lot of players, yeah, we are the defending NFC Champs, yeah, the Super Bowl hangover didn’t fuck with KC as they went back-to-back. But will it fuck with us?
I’m not getting a good feeling from the organization at this point. CMC not practicing or playing in preseason isn’t too worrying but I just hope that is all he’s out. Pearsall is ‘wowing them’ in camp so I’m glad his injury isn’t nagging and he’s full-go. But the contract disputes are once again a big part of camp. The good news is this is Brock Purdy’s first camp as the starter, so the hope is we won;t miss BA too much. Either now or forever.
Last thing I’ll say is, BA needs us more than we need him. As KC showed, losing one playmaker when you have others isn’t as big a detriment as you would think.
Williams? That’s a much bigger hole to fill.
Curious to see Purdy and the boys out there hitting. Maybe a nice well-played series or two will calm me down.

Lombardi reporting that the Niners and Aiyuk are back at the the table and negotiating. I’d post the link but this site isn’t letting me. You can find the video on his YT channel.
Never mind, I guess it is. Could see it before posting.
I doubt Purdy sees the field until the next game and IIRC the 3rd game is all scrubs all the time. I feel pretty much the same way about the way things have been all season BA is a fucking distraction, they gotta give Trent what he wants or at least close to it. I do think our defense will be better than last year and maybe really good. We were lucky with McCaffrey last year. He was hurt for long stretches in Carolina. I just can’t wait for the real to start happening I need a distaction. I can’t help wondering if dude got himself some new glasses and a scope how the world would be.
What a circus…

Enough is enough fuck him. Make him play out his last year and hold the tag over him next year.
If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate.
Give in to it.
There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be.
We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed.
Still, life has some possibility left.
Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world.
It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins.
Anyway, that’s often the case.
Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty.
Joy is not made to be a crumb.
— American poet Mary Oliver
Hah! I’m getting there, Winder!!

Sounds like we may have something but I imagine there is some homering going on also. It seems there are a lot of teams who are pretty banged up already. I don’t even know what to think about that but it sure seems to happen to us quite a bit.
Hey, I’m just trying to be optimistic.
Like the TV series “Dead to Me”are the cult classic movie “Better off Dead” that’s how I feel about Brandon Aiyuk he can keep being a whiny bitch but the 49ers hold all the cards on leverage..
Wow. New kickoff coverage sucks as well.
Special teams is still gonna be a big concern of mine.
Nice drive by Allen.
Punt coverage sucks as well.
Didn’t take long for Ambry Thomas to screwup, holding in the endzone after they stopped them led to an easy score..
Mason running hard 6/34 TD and Allen 9-12?
Are we seeing the Astronaut Dobbs later?
Yeah. Some of the players are really talking up Tanner Mordecai, UDFA QB from Wisconsin. Shroeder as well, though we aren’t blocking very well.
Already concerned about how we played that 3rd and 7. The LBs were 9 yards deep and they threw underneath it for the easy 1st down.
I know its preseason but come on. Play up on guys.
Wow. We look aseep.
Really like#43 Malik Mustapha he brings the wood, made the stop at the one,49ers win the challenge and take over on Downs.Makes another big stop on that goofy KIck off new rule I hate already.
But Mustapha 4th RD steal (116)overall plus a cool name is exciting, besides their was a character in Dirty Harry’s movies named Mustapha so u can’t go wrong…
Btw those T-shirts Kittle&Juice and other non starters are wearing are DOPE!!
Yep. The Black Uhuru gang. One of my fave bands from back in the day.
I didn’t watch the game hope we made it through without any injuries.
None of note. Dee Winters went off for a couple plays but was back out there.
Thanks
Hey, whatevs. All 2nd stringers but the special teams looks weak again. Couldn’t stop Tenn on 3rd downs numerous times. Too many rushing yards.
Looks a lot like the end of last year.
Just heard Ambry Thomas broke his forearm.
So there’s that; And Papa spent the whole fucking game talking about the CB depth.
Don’t want to see injuries but Ambry Thomas was playing his way off this team.It’s his final year on his contract and expect him to be a FA next year!
One different wrinkle tonight Shanahan did not call any plays first time ever.He let his assistant Clay Kubiak call the game! Hey preseason with all the 2nd-3rd stringers in why not?
Yeah, if not for the drops, the Niners would have looked better. Those 2 deep passes were on target.
New thread.
