Hate this shit. Wallowing through the week after such a demoralizing loss is a bitch. I really have no idea what is wrong with this team. This far into the Shanahan era and we are stumbling and bumbling through a game where nothing worked on offense for large stretches, the special teams were a disaster yet again, the O line couldn’t keep Purdy upright, and the defense gave up over 400 yards to a team that is pegged to be mediocre.
Granted, in today’s NFL, any team can take the express elevator to new heights. The flip side of course is teams can come crashing down at any given moment.
Is that us? Has Shanny’s magic run come to an end? I’m not so sure, but what a disheartening loss. Shanny’s play calling issues came to the forefront yet again as Shanny faced Brian Flores, a guy KNOWN to blitz early and often, did just that. Shanny’s answer of course was to pass against that 5 of the first 7 plays. This resulted in a 3 and out and a blocked punt.
The third drive saw Shanny finally mix in the run to much success. Until the fateful 4th and 2 quick pass that was tipped at the line. Like Nick Sirianni last night, kind of a questionable call given the situation and what was working. The prevailing sentiment for about 90 years in the NFL is to take the points on the road. But maybe it’s the Brandon Staley effect. You know the effect that got him fired in San Diego. To even be stupider, Shanny did ANOTHER stupid pass on 3rd down on the goal line. That one netted a 9 yard loss.
Next drive? 4th and 2 from the Minn 43? Pass play where Purdy can’t escape the rush. Turnover on downs.
44% in the red zone. Not good.
So, even though we rushed well and killed it on TOP, we should have lost this game by 37-17 if not for the individual effort of Fred Warner and his 2 caused turnovers.
And that’s my beef with this defense. They way we play makes it IMPERATIVE that the base defense gets in on EVERY pass play, the coverage is tight for 4-5 seconds, and the underneath dump-off guy is covered. Given the rules regarding PI, illegal use of hands, and defensive holding, this is nearly impossible.
Are they simply still trying to figure things out? Shit shouldn’t take this long. We made Sam Darnold look like Patrick Mahomes with his 32 yards rushing. Aaron Rodgers was barely pressured. And we monumentally struggled to stop the run later in the game.
So, soft D, special teams issues, O line issues, and coverage problems. Sound familiar?
I think the trick is to be on the top level post and have no other text in the video.
I’m wondering if you use the link option Chuck?
Seems to be the only way to paste unless I’m missing something?
No i just put the link into the comment box.
With CMC, Deebo and Pearsall out I’m really looking forward to Juaun Jennings getting his chance to show what he can do with a bigger role. My guess is he will shine, he is at least a real number 2 WR and deserves more opportunities.
BA hasn’t done very much so far, I expect he will be better but he’s not close to mid season form yet.
They also need to have another WR on deck to take the snaps Jennings usually has, Conley, Cowing or Bell? Call up Taylor?
I also thing RB Guerendo will get more snaps this game, his 4.33 speed has value in itself.
Shanny needs to show his versatility.
That was it Chuck.
Using the link option just takes the link address.
Just heard this guy recently and found he’s a California guy. Ever heard him out there?
No, never heard these guys before. Sounds good!
Great Video Chuck,Day of the Eagle 🦅 one of Robin Trower’s best jamming song ever!
12th, Im with you getting Jennings plenty of balls thrown to him from Purdy who has a great connection with him which helps.Aiyuk still plenty of rust do to his holdout but im expecting a big game from him.And look for Conley to add his experience to make some plays..
There is no way the Niners should lose with a Rams team banged up so bad.and Shanny OWNS McVay ,Puka and now Kupp out are down to 3rd 4th stringers WR’s ,OL has starters out as well,Rams are going to spiral out of control.
More worried about Seahawks 2-0 and Cardinals 1-1 both with new coaches but with talented players as the Cardinals proved who just crushed the Rams last week..49ers win this game in a blowout 34-10 as Stafford will be sitting on his ass a lot (5 Sacks) against a patchwork Rams line..
Seahawks are playing patsies. AZ looks tough all of a sudden.
We need to do something more with the pass rush.
Here you go Chuck just for Shanny 😜
What I found was the cursor doesn’t go to the full left margin and wasn’t taking the paste function.
As you can see above I was able to get text and video link into the reply box finally.
Go figure? One simple backspace to the margin.
Nice! He played some of fthis album when I last saw him.
Huffanga is playing against the Rams! Hopefully not too rusty and we will see how many snaps.
Good news. The less Odum the better.
How’s this for a sign of the times?
We’re the shithole Country in the making –

Kitten jerky?

Deetroit fans are a little more zealous than most.
I used to know where Bill Walsh lived, He lived near a buddy of mine in Atherton, and every once in a while I would see him mowing his lawn.
lol. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the dogs.
