Game 5 – The Crux of the Biscuit is the Injuries

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.

    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.

  17. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    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.

  18. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    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

Super Bowl Win, Purdy Please
