Not dogs or cats. Purple people. Worried about this one. Minnesota is certainly much more talented than the Jets and they have legit playmakers. Short week. East coast flight. Early start time. Road game. Madden curse. CMC on the IR.
A game like this should be fairly easy, but I think we struggle. A positive last week was we didn’t commit the usual boatload of penalties. No turnovers. As ever these are key.
Then again I really don’t know much about the Vikes defense other than DC Brian Flores likes to mix up coverages and he blitzes a lot. They lost Hunter and got Van Ginkel?
In other news, trade Brandon Allen to Miami for RT Austin Jackson. I don’t think Tua is gonna play anymore.
Hufanga out for today.
These injuries are truly troublesome looks like our metal will be tested every week, more so than usual. Moved out of Oregon yesterday and am in Lemoore CA for a few days and then onto Pensacola Fl. Probably my last adventure. Anyway where I am now they have a monster big TV so I get to watch on that. Beats my 13in apple.
Go Niners.
Wow. Lemoore is deep in the hinterlands. 1,000 years ago I did HVAC work out there. one summer. Hotter than biscuits . . .
You retiring out there in Fla?
No been retired but I am gonna look for some part time work.
Figures. We finally run a stunt and get burned on a 16 yard run.
Should be a good game, takes Brock a series or two to get in a rhythm. I am not worried about the first few calls.
caught a break on that punt.
Bosa called the penalty before the refs
Huge fuckup there!!! Big break.
And the hold. Deeebo again.
Goddam special teams! Blocked Punt WTF!!!
Nice stand by the D. Darnold is getting time and they are gonna screen our zone defense all day.
Hopefully the DC makes adjustments
That and penalties. Stupid return by Deebo.
Fucking Shanny is throwing too much.
2 offsides in a row?
It doesn’t look like we understand the Vikes defesnse yet. All our passes are well covered no separation
nice call by Shanny there.
hate that call. Run the goddamn ball
Gutsy call but we should have taken the points.
Fuck
Fuck, when the opposing QB is throwing from the end zone you should blitz
nope. Got to go prevent. Keep that big play from happening.
Minn isn’t stopping the run . Shanny is.
this game is going just like I thought.
Damm I liked going for it and Vikes stacked the box and it was tipped going to Jennings it’s football but a run option play/pass option might have been better..
God dammit are secondary sucks 97 yards TD for Jefferson inexcusable they have no idea how to stop him!!
it’s not the fucking secondary.
its the zero pressure on Darnold
He should have never gotten that pass off
Geee is Purdy struggling under
pressure?
Shanny being really stupid today
They are not in sync on Offense, Vikings D is definitely better than the Jets.
Can they play any worse? Fucking looking like shit! Penalties are killing them !!Fucking Aiyuk can’t get set is inexcusable he’s a dumbshit so far in the season!
Shanny getting out coached
Warner to the rescue!
Minn keying in the run now. Pass
Warner keeping them in there by himself! Best LB in football 🏈 sure needed that interception! Both Shanny &Sorenson getting schooled! Get some blitzing going and double team JJ
got to get 7 here.
there you go.
if we go soft on D I’m gonna scream.
Atleast Kittle &Warner&Mason have shown up to play! Kittle TD!! Back in it as bad as they have played..
this defense is fucking bullshit
why would we toss Wilks and play the exact same soft cover d?
all fucking day
pathetic.
Jesus. We are running the same soft zone as last year.
Why change the coaching staff and play the same shit? Sure, we are doing better against the run, but this inability to stop teams on 3rd down is awful. Darnold has WAY too much time.
For all the garbage, we are down 6. Pressure fucking Darnold!!!!!
This defense is really depending on our 4 to beat their 5.
It worked there.
Vikings dial up blitzes and sack Purdy where’s are sending some Sorenson! Darnold way to much time to throw..
Blocked punt, fumble almost on a return, WTF is going on with special teams
What a break keeping the ball as Cowing muffs the punt!Special teams are dogshit today..
Well they certainly aren’t the Jets
Kyle better dig deep into his bag of tricks. Cause whatever he is calling isn’t working
We look flat out terrible.
only solace is that Dallas is down 42-19
Wow, better to get a crappy game out of the way early in the season
Purdy looks lost out there.
This is going to be overturned.
How in the hell do the V make plays on 3 rd down and the Niners struggle to convert on 3rd down
they blitz.
we dont
Jesus fucking Christ. This soft defense is working so well.
I don’t think I have ever seen Kyle use a hurry up offense, let’s hope this game he has a plan
His plan better be to get rid of Sorensen.
this is the same fu I g defense that lost the super howl
Not enough time to score twice!!
Well this game sucked,
And we still can’t win in Minnesota
What the fuck kind onside kick was that, weak sauce.
This went just like I thought. Shanahan was terrible with the play calls. This defense is untenable. Soft. Way too much confusion on the back end led to 2 TDs,
yeah, we played terroible today. Even Purdy just stood there and got sacked his first two years he would have scrambled out of some of those.
My issues before the season were poor line play, the soft defense, and special teams.
None have been addressed.
Terrible game, with lessons to be learned.
I can’t believe the Raiders won
yeah the schedule and parity make picking games impossibl
For shit and giggles, I decided to watch a ‘Niners game . . . Are you fucking kidding me? Shanahan is brain dead, i.e., I’m not saying I hate him, but I would unplug his life support to charge my phone. For example, why in the hell did he forgo the 4th down play (with a chance to win the game) for an onside kick???
Glad your blog is doing well Unca, as at least that provides solace for the 2 hours plus I wasted watching the 49ers.
They needed 2 scores. That was actually the only fucking decision he made that I liked. He brain-deaded his whole way through the game.
Our defense is gonna be comepltely wasted this year if this is our scheme.
My bad . . . You’re correct (didn’t see the subsequent Viking FG at 6 or 7 minutes before the game ended and got distracted at home, until the end of the game, i.e., still thought it was 20-14 Vikings).
This was one of the worst coached games Ive seen out of Shanahan. Add to that the defensive scheme is such a waste of our talent.
We FINALLY have a pretty deep secondary so naturally we don’t push the pass rush like we should. We are in a perennial prevent defense. DeMecco Ryans routinely blitzed Warner. He’s a destructive force on blitzes. But no, we drop him into coverage so we don’t give up the big plays. Well, except for the 97 yard YD.
