Game 1 – Schrödinger’s Calf

It is hurt? Is it not hurt? Either way, the the calf, uh cat will be out of the bag tomorrow once the game starts, if not earlier. Not sure if this is gamesmanship on the part of the 49ers, or simply nothing, as CMC said himself yesterday, or a bigger problem like last year.

Hearing ‘calf’ send alarm bells in my head given the achilles issues, but hey, that’s me. Anyhow, this should be a good test for our offense. Regardless of CMC, Seattle has a soft interior line, so we look to run. Then again, Seattle has a solid run game themselves so they look to do the same.

Their defense isn’t spectacular in any stretch, but they are decent. We don’t know what we are on D. To win this game it may just come down to who makes the mistakes on offense. With or without CMC our offense should be able to move the ball. Red zone? Well, that’s where we missed CMC the most.

Seattle? They have Slinging Sourdough Sam Ginger Darnold. But they don’t have DK Metcalfe. We need to get on top early and pressure Darnold. He’s not gonna run like Wilson, or even Geno, so just force him to fuck up.

Niners 28-20. No fucking FGs.

    “Signs are pointing toward 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf) playing vs. the Seahawks,” Mike Garofolo tweeted on Saturday. “Kyle Shanahan wouldn’t speculate on McCaffrey’s status after he was a DNP yesterday but McCaffrey was confident he’d play. It’s looking like he will.”

      Yeah and hopefully more than a few sets of downs. Over the years after missing a lot of game one year his bounces back the next and has a great year. But time could be catching up to him and that would really be bad for us. Anyway fingers crossed.

    I liked what Harbaugh did to KC.

    Heavy pass game. Herbert ate their D and wore them out. Seattle likes to blow up the inside running lanes to disrupt the pocket.

    Work the edges with the short passing game?

    • Winder's avatar Winder says:

      As long as we don’t play that preventive crap I am good with just about anything. Should be a fun game today that actually means something. Shanny better be on his play calling also because if I know what’s coming you can bet they do too.

      Dallas came out passing as well and it worked early. Seattle may overload the box to help their bad interior D.

      Would love quick passes to start the game.

    Not sure of this will work, but it’s got some great advice from Bill Walsh, Joe Montana, and Steve Young.

    Apropos more this year than last, but Walsh’s comment to Montana was “Don’t try to do too much. It’s OK to punt. We have a good defense.”

    CMC was a ‘full participant’ in Saturday’s walk thru.

    But yeah, walk thru.

    We will see.

  5. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    CMC not on the inactive list so there’s that.

  6. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    Great play call

  7. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Nice drive. Seattle’s run D is better than I thought.

  8. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Run D looking soft.

  9. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    Give em a gift td

  10. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    That pass would not have been caught.

    Rookie mistake.

  11. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    We’d better figure out how to run.

  12. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Pressure wins. Esp against Darnold.

    Nice stop. Need to get the running game going. Nice to see Kittle getting touches instead of holding him back for the run game.

  14. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    D looking better. Got to get the O rolling.

  15. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    His is where I disagree with the play calling. Why run on 3rd and very long. IMO, pass the ball, take the chance. I guess there is a greater chance of an INT rather than a fumble? Still I would throw the ball.

  16. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Shit, Kittle out 😡😡😡

  17. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Kittle out with a bad hammy.

    Fuck.

  18. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    I am not surprised with Moody

  19. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    1st down call fucked that drive. Time was running out and they flailed.

    And there you go.

    Missed a 12 yarder.
