From a preseason that started with a raft of injuries has continued on to be a maddening trent with this team. 4 games into 2025 and we are at the top of this list. The preseason saw
- 2024: #1 most injured
- 2023: #29 most injured
- 2022: #9 most injured
- 2021: #3 most injured
- 2020: #1 most injured
- 2019: #6 most injured
- 2018: #4 most injured
The outlier of course was 2023 when we went to the Super Bowl and yeah, you know. So, what looks like a pretty solid start to the season has devolved into a giant clusterfuck of injuries and replacement guys. Our once-full WR room is down to Scantling, Robinson, Moore, and Kendrick fucking Bourne, whose drop led to the punt return TD.
The TEs are doing OK, minus the fumble last week. Derp.
The defense of course lost Nick Bosa for the season. So, our pass rush, while not spectacular, WAS getting a lot of pressures and hurries. Last week, not so much. Saleh has his work cut out for him to get Stafford off his marks and to keep LA off the scoreboard.
Yeah, I don’t know. The offensive line isn’t blocking well, the pass pro is iffy at best, and LA’s pass rush is one of the best, the pass defense is not getting ANY turnovers, pass coverage is spotty at best, and the run defense is shakey.
But every time I think this team is gonna smoke a shitty team like the Jags, they suck. When I think they will suck, they pull out a satisfying win.
Hah! 31-27 Niners.
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
Can’t see a W for us tonight unless the running game improves dramatically.
Might come down to TOP and winning the turnover battle. I’d pick on the Rams LB group with short quick passes and hope for some yards after catch.
Maybe try Guerendo for some swing passes. Anything.
Just crossing my fingers that a diminished pass rush and a young secondary doesn’t add up to Puka and Adams collecting major yardage and DPI calls all night.
Mac isn’t very mobile to begin with. Short timing routes might be our only option.
I’m gonna be looking for whatever bright spots the Niners can give us. I don’t see us winning this one I just hope we play em tough. It’s sloppy play that drives me crazy.
That’s the pisser of the last game. All the fuckups and we still should have won.
Jax was trying nearly as hard a we were to give it away.
But we literally did with -4 turnovers. Purdy looked off throwing.
This is our 12th game since we had an interception.
Nacua has 502 yards. Holy shit. pearsall was doing fine in 4th at 327 but alas another one on the dust pile.
Something we all have written perhaps?
49ers mailbag: Is Kyle Shanahan’s play-calling too conservative? When will John Lynch trade for a pass rusher? Why are special teams still so bad? | 49ers Webzone https://share.google/NdMZwD9xYd0hGn8o7
Yes IMO, with all the injuries he does not take chances. Don’t know who said or where I heard, but some sports analysts said he should go no handle more often, I have been screaming that at my TV when it is the 4th quarter and they need to score
This is our house!
4 plays 2 penalties.
Hey now. Quick passes are working,
DO NOT run on 1st and goal.
There it is.
that was a nice drive and didn’t run on 1st and goal
Great looking drive and Bourne sure had nice catch and run.
Need to work on our kickoffs
I heard that Isaac Guerendo, is in Kyle’s dog house. I say put your ego on hold, Kyle should know he needs every health player available.
Kyle earning his keep today.
wow another TD drive. Jones is rolling.
D needs to get a turnover. Badly.
I am impressed. Where were theese guys last week
This is the first game I’ve been able to see this season, loving it.
The D is playing well
Time of possession. CHECK 😁
A turnover!!!
All passes, by the Rams. Attacking the Niners weakness?
This is where Kyle will get conservative, this would be a great time to go no huddle
Bourne kills another drive.
He’d better not. They get the ball to start the 2nd half.
SHanahan’s an idiot. Take the time out and save the time. AND the down. Incomplete passes ARE timeouts.
Kyle reverts to pussy town. He played that wrong.
Tell ya one thing, I don’t miss Moody.
2 good runs mixed in got 8 yards each.
Not when they need to get a touchdown.
2+ minutes and you don’t score a TD. That is a Kyle game plan
The Rams are gonna try to take away the underneath stuff so Shanny needs to adjust.
Hopefully they don’t score 7 coming out of the break.
Need a pick to kick off this 2nd half
Got to take advantage of their mistakes.
Shanny has to stop running on 1st down.
Oh boy.
Our line has shown they can’t overpower defenses on the goal line as we have ZERO rushing TDs this year.
DO SOMTHING DIFFERENT!!
This is all on Shanahan. Stupid obvious passing down.
3rd QB come on down
Where’s the flag?
We are fucking jinxed it’s never ending. Jones is a gamer feel bad for him
I’ll take it.amazing
The D looks tired, no rush
I have very little faith now that we will win this.
LA has to many weapons. We have Mccaffrey and bourne
Why does Kylel the momentum
It’s all about the fucking red zone. Those first 2 TDs were off passes and misdirection.
Last 2? run run fail.
Kyle going conservative to protect Jones
Brilliant call. Fuck Shanahan
Saleh needs to go blitz heavy.
They are doing what we did in the 1st half
Stafford has all day
A blitz would be nice
IF we lose this it is squarely on Shanahan for not being able to understand that he shouldn’t be running on 1st and goal.
2 more blown opportunities on the goal line.
No good!!!
Fucking A. We blocked a pick.
So now a hurt QB, a passing down the Rams have the advantage
There you go. Rams adjust. We don’t.
D is hurt and tired. Apparently Shanahan thinks we can run inside despite getting nothing inside. No misdirection.
Shanny being outcoached.
I guess Kyle has decided his best chance to win is to go with a hurt QB, brilliant
Even the announcer is asking about a blitz
We’ve had maybe 1 run get through the line.
This drive has to end in a TD
Was it the right decision to cut Moody?
Does the pope shit in the woods?
Fuck. Jones mishandled the snap and that caused the penalty. He should have run OB.
Up to the D. Saleh needs to get pressure.
Now.
Lenoir has 3 holding calls tonight.
Once again getting burned on a blitz is better than letting Stafford just pitch and catch down the field for a game winning TD.
Why won’t they at least try a 5 man front
What was that!!!
outcoached.
A first down would seal this
Well, Shanny lost the element of surprise.
He should have thrown on 2nd down. Pussy move
Up the middle all of them, no sweep?
Oh well. We’re gonna lose. So many Rams mistakes and we left them in the game.
Shanahan is a fucking pussy,.
Christ, This is fucking nuts.
No blitz no pressure no win.
OT.
What is Saleh thinking, not one blitz
Kyle had better understand he needs to score a TD, don’t play for a FG. And quit running it up the middle it is going no where
Did we win the toss?
No. Tail never fails but we called heads.
The Rams are trying to give the game away
Sigh of relief
Pffft.
Oh boy. Saleh needs to fucking blitz.
Can;t take that sack
All day
Blitz, please just one time
One more turnover?
Saleh has disappointed me
If Jones has to go out there, he has nothing left
Stuffed!
One play.
Mac Jones may retire after this game
No!
Holy shit!!!!
Commence with the QB controversy.
Mac and backups get it done. Hard to effin believe but true.
Jesus. That was one of the toughest wins I’ve seen in a while.
More guys hurt.
TRADE BROCK!!!
Winder, looks like you have a couple of storms coming your way, stay safe man.
All of y’all.
Cheers Wille, we got lucky again here in the OBX. Erin and these last two storms, if they turned west just a bit it would’ve been another ballgame.
Thanks Loco pretty much just gotta hope for the best around here.
Btw thanks for the vid at top of thread Chuck. Very cool, love the animation. Some great tunes on full program, Oh No Pygmy Twylyte, Trouble…
Only saw Zappa once but it was the Greek in 1982 and it was great.
I don’t know if we should have won that game, I don’t think the Rams wanted to win
Berger musings: We won a game that we had no business winning. Albert Collins is showing up! Just my opinion, but with our personnel, I’d run a 3-4 to get some different looks for a better pass rush. I kept saying Mac Jones just needs a coach who can call an offense. He’s looking good now that he has one. He’s also a tough dude. I seriously doubt we win this game with Moody kicking.
They looked like we did last week. Mistakes and turnovers decided it. ST fuckup on the blocked XP was crucial.
Shanahan really needs to rethink his goal line offense.
It is pathetic.
I was dead set against it, but it sure looks like we shoulda drafted Jones 4 years ago.
Not if they don’t do something with the O-line, he was getting pummeled out there. And at times Kyle’s play calling is so predictable
