Ahhhh, Zager and Evans. They used to have that song on the juke box at one of the original Round Table Pizza parlors on 3rd Ave in San Mateo and I played the shit out of that song. Funny enough, it swapped out to North Beach Pizza about 25 years ago, and is still there.
As for 2025, who knows? I saw in the Green Section that gee, maybe out defense isn’t that good, and that Sorensen is on the hot seat. Really? 15 games into the forgettable season of missed opportunities, little to no defensive scheme other than rushing 4 and dropping the LBs every play 99% of the time?
Our early effort did produce some turnovers, but those dried up by week 8. Our numbers are terrible across the board, and to blame this on injuries is a fool’s errand. Watching Minnesota put 5 on the line nearly every snap was simply a reminder of how you can be aggressive on defense without blitzing all the time, but showing different looks up front and moving LBs around.
But, whatevs. This season was an utter waste of time. The front office did their best to sabotage the season by dragging out the negotiations with BA and Williams, Shanny’s insistence on prsying for CMC;s return and revival of the team’s woes simply prolonged the agony of being terrible in the red zone and Shanny’s shortcomings as a play caller. when his team isn;t at full strength.
Oh well. Wait till next year!!
Hope you all have a happy and safe new years, and let’s hope against hope this team can figure out how to get out of this current mess.
Forty Niners Forever 
Purdy just making stupid mistakes.
Such a precise miss every important play.
Purdy and the 49ers are way too predictable with the overthe middle passes.
His price is dropping.
Well this shows the glowing problems the Niners have, I can’t believe there was no change in the D. Kyle at least showed some creative plays, but the D was the same old same old
Wow. Moody is just out of his bean bad.
And he compounds his bad by booting the shit out of the onsides kick!!
Wow. Just wow. Purdy is hurt and his stock is dropping fast. 3 games in a row with devastating picks.
Moody needs some real competition in next season’s camp. Dude is obviously mentally fried. Has no clue what he’s doing. Miss right, hook left, miss a PAT? That 3rd round pick wasted on him could have been for a good OL prospect. Detroit’s defense is crap, slightly better than the steaming pile of crap Niner D. Get Saleh back in there as DC– that’s a no brainer to me. And get a new Special Teams staff — that’s beyond a no brainer. Gotta draft LBs, DL, and OL. Sit in the last game all first stringers with contracts for next year — don’t risk any further injury. Another loss just helps the draft position, too…
I think Purdy presses when he knows he has to get the team to score, because the D is so bad — it can’t stop anybody. So, he makes some seemingly dumb picks. Get the D back in order and I think he’s better…
Purdy’s injury could prove to be related to his previous reconstruction. It could be very bad.
Maybe we ARE in the Sourdough Sam Darnold sweepstakes.
Yeah, the D sure isn’t helping things, but still and all, these picks are just flat mental errors that are hard to overlook.
Purdy should have never played that game. I know he looked good but with shit for an offensive line there was no need for him to be out there. I knew he was gonna get hurt if he played. I am really pissed off at our FO.
This doesn’t sound like good news. His agent likely shit himself last night. What a cluster fuck.

Probably not good news. Nerves on fire at impact but maybe some damage twisting , stretched, etc and rehab time for dealing with nerve influence. The fear is some loss of strength in muscles, tendons, ligaments associated with the tweaked nerves. Can it ever get back to 100 %.
New thread is up.
