Color me optimistic. After a huge turd of an offseason of dithering with contracts, and yet another draft of not addressing the RT position, let alone LT, we are poised on the brink of the 2024 season. Against of course the guy who would be the Niners QB at least a couple of times. Once in 2005 with the draft (where we picked Young Sir Alex), and again in 2021 when Not-So-Jolly Rodgers was cranked about his contract in Green Bay, we stuck with Jimmy G and drafted Trey Lance.
Funny we had Mike McCarthy in-house as our OC way back then, and very well could have had Rodgers. My thought around 2007 (IIRC) was we should have kicked Nolan upstairs to be GM and have elevated McCarthy to head coach. But who knows? Even the 2021 deal could have netted up a championship. I’ll never figure out the reluctance to pull the trigger, even on the se old QBs.
Same thing happened with Brady FFS. But digress.
Now? Now we are fully immersed in the Brock Purdy era. The offense is a well-oiled machine, and the defense is full of talent, but we have a new DC in Nick Sorensen, and his sidekick Brandon Staley. The preseason offered little to determine how these guys are playing together, but I sure didn’t like the defensive formations we were using. These looked a lot like last year’s bend-and-break defense.
I’ll reserve judgement until this shit goes for real. Meaning tonight.
- 6-3 is Rodgers’ record in the reg season
- 0-4 in the playoffs
So, despite the hold-ins, hold-outs, random shootings of 1st round picks, and even CMC’s possible achilles injury, I think this team has already overcome a ton of adversity. I think we will come out hard and fast. The Jets are a talented team, but I think we can out-man them in just about every spot.
We overwhelm the Jets, 31 – 17.
Forty Niners Forever 
like I said masons a stud and a half.
now is when you turn the defense loose.
Interception
Well the looks like the D and the O got it together and are play good Football
Nice to see Carl Cheffers in midseason form throwing his fucking flags.
Mason up over 100 yards. Good for him.
I don’t like them leaving points on the field, FG are good but TD are needed
I’ll take that shit Moody! He’s off to a good start and that really nice to see. He’s got the leg, he just needs the confidence.
I don’t like not being able to get to Rodgers.
Our defense looks soft as shit that last series.
In the first half, an Olineman had his arm wrapped around Bosa neck, and no call. That’s BS
Nice to see Kyle mixing it up. Bill Walsh alway ran plays until the D could stop it. If you ask me the Jets are starting to stop the run a little.
Okay now we get to see if Kyle goes for the jugular or he will try to burn the clock.
If we see 3 runs…I will be pissed
man. Th e Jets just aren’t very good.
do not like our defense in any way shape or form.
a smart coach would take Mason out.
hey he took him out.
but we are the exact same soft coverage LBs line up too deep no fucking blitzing defense.
what am I missing here?
the o was ok but 6 FGsis not ringing up the scoreboard.
get Bosa and Floyd out
Good win nice way to start the season.
Yes, a nice win in the first game. A lot of rust to be knocked off as with any team in the league, but the Niners dominated. Plenty to work on but that’s football, especially these days with the reps so severely limited in camp by league rules. They’re only going to get better.
