Well, as all our players slowly get hurt, no one seems to be recovering. BA, who was a possible starter before game 1, according to the crack medical staff, is now possibly out for the year. Brock Purdy and Ricky Pearsall are both minute to minute to hours to days to weeks to months from full practices, let alone playing a game. Fred Warner will be ready for the Super Bowl, and Nick Bosa is looking at being ready for OTAs in 2026. So there’s that. Yikes.
With that being said, and due to the fact that we are in great shape divisional-wise (3-0), and conference-wise (6-1), and even record-wise (6-3) I was a little surprised we didn’t make moves. For all that we are in 3rd place in the NFC West. We are in good shape but are we in playoff shape?
I just don’t see how this team can compete week to week with all these maladies. Recent taxi squad call-ups Clelin Ferrell and Robert Beal, and recently traded for Keion White are the latest replacement guys for the slew of guys who are out. Ferrell and White actually played pretty well last week, but it was the NYGs. But for all their suck, they have a very solid pass rush. And the O line played well enough to allow Jones to go 14-14 in the 1st half last week on the way to a solid win. With an actual run game.
Good news is Bryce Huff is coming back for this all-important game.
So, hey, maybe there is a chance. We limped into Levi’s South in week 5 and took one from them. Let’s do it again.

yeah blogspot sucked harder but WordPress has been a disaster these last few months.
Been lurking here unca since preseason – great job you’re doing with the blog!
d is just awful. Soft zone no pass rush
Does not matter if we score, if the D can’t stop them
Williams practically walked in on that TD run – no one touched him.
Deja Vu . . . Parkinson too – a (catch and) walk in the park.
the defense is wowfy thin but the offense made a lot of mistakes.
Insult to atupidity
Scored 4 TD’s which could have been 5 except for a dumb 4th down call. It should put you in with a great shot to win but the D was completely lost.
No trade at the deadline looks worse today.
Hey Blade, good to see you here. Shame this season is chugging down the shitter with all these injuries.
This team is tearing my heart out again.
Short of trading the farm for Hendrickson, which I’m totally against, I don’t think this team, as banged up as it is, stands a chance in the playoffs. Maybe a WC win, but little else. FOr once I think the long view is warranted.
Thing is though, if this team misses the playoffs again, I wonder what the fuck this front office does about the catastrophic amount of injuries sufferend by Shanahan during his tenure. They need to do something different.
New thread is up.
