. . . if man is still alive.

. . . if football can survive . . .

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.
