Football – Thy Name is Attrition

So far the injury bug has hit just about every team in the NFL this year. The struggling Eagles have lost their 2 starting WRs in AJ Brown and Devonta Smith. They also lost their newly signed stud LB Devin White before he even hit the field. Fucking Dallas has lost just about half their starters to injury. Trevon Diggs, E Elliott, Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence, Brandin Cooks, Jordan Philips, Nathen Thomas, and Ryan Fiorney, among a few others are out or Doubtful.

Some other major guys are QB Tua Tagovailoa, Cheifs WR Rashee Rice and Isiah Pacheco, Rams Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, and even Russell Wilson, even though the Steelers are 3-1 with Justin Fields.

Some teams Like KC and Pittsburgh are doing fine dealing with their injuries. Dallas and Philly aren’t. Miami isn’t. The Rams are struggling as well. and so are we. Thing about us though, is our early injuries were to the offense, and they aren’t the issue. CMC, Kittle, and Deebo, have missed time. CMC of course may be out for the month of October. but last week’s game saw the biggest del with Fred Warner and his ankle injury. Our interior defensive loine has been wiped out, but really, Hargrave has shown little, but we also lost Givens, Elliott ,and Kalia Davis. LBs are without Dre Greenlaw of course, Winters is dinged up, as is Flannigan Fowles.

This is a very bad time to have TWO divisional games in the span of 5 days. Winning both may be a bridge too far, but really, our biggest issues this young season have been the special teams fuckups.

Those that didn’t practice include:

WR Chris Conley (oblique)
WR Jacob Cowing (shoulder)
LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (calf)
DE Yetur Gross-Matos (knee)
TE George Kittle (ribs)
LB Fred Warner (ankle)

Limited were:

DT Jordan Elliott (knee)
DT Kevin Givens (triceps)
S Talanoa Hufanga (ankle)
LB Dee Winters (ankle)
CB Isaac Yiadom (thigh)

Full practice guys were:

DT Kalia Davis (knee)
FB Kyle Juszczyk (shoulder)
LT Trent Williams (not injury related – resting player)

    So all the talk on KNBR is the possible trade of BA to the Raiders for Devonte Adams. I say F that

    And of course Kyle is not letting Pearsall anywhere near starting a game. The answer is always he is not ready.

      Not letting him near Union Square wearing his Rolex anymore either.I still wonder why Shanahan will say WR Cowing isn’t ready to be on the field, but yet will Pearsall automatically be good to go instead to break in the LU??

    Might have reason to expect help from GB v LAR.

    Not going to hold my breath with NYG v ‘Hawks however.

    Giants can’t find the end zone if you gave them a tour guide.

    Yep. Esp with Nabors out.

    The Giants should have beat the Cowboys by 14 points but couldn’t get in.

    The Rams should go down hard. AZ may be our biggest threat in the division.

    This game is important. Had a friend ask me if I wanted to buy his tix. Had to pass. It’s gonna be brutal out there. By next season, they are gonna be scheduling all the games at 5:00. Its just too fucking hot there,

    These next 3 games are crucial for our playoff hopes. We are as beat up as any team and we cannot afford sloppy play. Thank God for Purdy.

  6. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    We can afford to lose to KC. The division games are paramount. The good news is Kittle and Warner practiced (limited) yesterday so the hope is they play.

    Our division isn’t super strong but they are above middling if that makes any sense. When the Rams get healthy they should be tougher.

    More injury updates …Niners place DE Gross-Matos on IR he will be out for 4 weeks!

    Good News they have activated DT Kalia Davis,DL McGill from practice squad, and also Punt Returner/WR Trent Taylor from practice squad in case Cowing can’t play ( shoulder injury)

    CMC should wait until at least after the bye week. At this point I want Juice returning punts. Catch the ball and fall down.

    Cal beating Miami is pretty fuckign cool. Seeing Beast Mode throwing Skittles at the crowd while stoned off his gourd was pretty fucking funny.

    Wow. Huge non call on targeting. The fucking fix is in. What a joke.

  9. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Miami looks to get 2 wins because on 2 egregious non-calls.

  10. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Tell ya one thing, the good news bout the Cal game was the start time of 7:30.

    They should push the opening of the Niner game 5 hours.

    New thread is up.
