$29 million dead cap hit. But $85 mill in cash savings. Happy trails, Brandon Aiyuk. If the teams waits till after June 1 next year, they can even spread that dead cap hit out over a few seasons. That being said, I don’t really get what is going on with BA. For what all this is worth, I’m guessing that this is a problem between BA and Shanahan, rather than BA vs the front office. There was the weird episode where he wore the wrong shorts in practice a while back, Shanny called him out on it, and BA threw a very childish tantrum that the whole team saw. BA himself said he played a big part in screwing up the negotiations that set the stage for the mediocre play and then the injury. And he said he wanted to be here.
From what I gather now, Paraag cancelled BA’s contract early in camp when BA was not following team protocols regarding his rehab., a la Jimmy G. It has all been under wraps until recently when all this blew up. Aiyuk even went so far as to say he won’t file a grievance against the team for the contract cancellation. He apparently wants out that bad. So, there you go. The team hasn’t even opened up his 21-day practice window. I doubt they will. He will more than likely not set foot on the field this season, and get cut after June 1 2026.
Oh well. He can join Deebo on the Commandos and languish at the bottom of the NFC East together. Shoulda traded him for Terry McLaurin. Hah! Another diva WR.

As for the Carolina game? All about the defense. If we can get any stops, we should win. The offense appears to be clicking pretty well. They even racked up a bunch of yards against the Rams, with Mac, but made too many self-inflicted errors. No mistakes from the offense and we should be OK.
These next 3 are ones vs the Carolinas, the Brownies, and the Tuxedos should be easily winnable. But as we know, nothing is easy with this injury-riddled team.
BA can kick rocks as far as I’m concerned and on the bigger picture of paying crazy top of the market money for second tier WR talent, just don’t do it.
Game day!
This is effectively a 2 win game since Tampa got obliterated by the Rams yesterday and Carolina now has a real shot at winning the division or going a long way to securing at least a wildcard spot with a win tonight over our Niners.
Not going to happen! Monday night under the lights at Levi is when the Niners stars shine brightest. The win/loss, win/loss deal gets shattered with a win tonight.
Niners 37-24 over the Panthers.
P.S. Don’t take risks with FG distance, be aggressive and go 4 downs.
Right now I’m just glad I’m going to see the game. No Streameast, Sling one day pass for a buck (they charged me $2.14). One day pass, or weekend pass might be the answer to having no cable for me.

Thanks Steve and 12th Man, I’m sure those will come in handy going forward. Right now, two bucks to watch the game on the tube is working for me,
I don’t think I can stay up to watch the whole game. been a long weekend. Go Niners.
Tough for you east coasters! That’s a late night. I remember watching a Niners/Rams game at 8:00 am in Hawaii. Fun stuff. Forget day drinking. We’re talking beers at kickoff!
I think we win but I have no idea. They usually zig when I think they will zag.
Can they win 2 in a row? All about the pressure. I =f we can do anything remotely decent on defense, this shouldn’t be too hard.
I guess I sold our offense short as we were able to move on the Rams pretty well (with Mac no less) but made too many mistakes. TB couldn’t do a damn thing against the Rams.
I hope the Niners lose the coin toss every game, they jump out to a quick start.
2 picks from Purdy again. Too reckless with the ball. Take the check down buddy.
Dang, and now a third.
unreal
Purdy playing hero ball instead of taking what is there.
desperately trying to throw down field. He could have walked for the 1st down.
He’s throw 3 picks and lucky it wasn’t 5 picks.
Looking deep every dropback
defense is playing well. Fucking Purdy and shanahan are keeping carol in the game.
run the fucking ball
Hope our D has a full 60 minutes in em.
Should be good, they haven’t been on the field that much, playing well.
Purdy threw 3 last weekend, I am not worried, I think I read where Montana threw 6 int in the Cowboy game before THE CATCH.
d doing their job. Fu king Purdy needs to get his shit together
not even trying to run
They heard you
FINALLY!!!!
Panthers D starting to wear down.
CMC!
Finally, drive to resemble first one.
Roadhouse is great cut, thanks!
bergs wherever you are I tried to email you. But I was thinking we could chip it to buy a framed team pic for Marc’s family that you can scribble our names on. Think that would be cool.
I fixed the email.
Hate that kind of play.
saleh playing soft
and there you go.
Run is getting them no where
Kyle is now afraid of passing the ball, 3 INT to many
killing clock
that 3 was needed . I like that call.
bring the pressure
get a pick
they are listening to me
Throwing on 3rd and long, defense knows what is coming
The offense definitely not as clean as last week
win is a win. Purdy gets away with a trash game but the D did well enough against a lukewarm Panthers team. No 450 for BYoung.
Jauan getting into a fight after the game with Moerig. Moerig went after JJs junk apparently.
Wasn’t Purdy, but dats a win. Glad to be able to watch it. Cheers y’all.
8-4 with 5 games to go ya’ll. Win 2 and probably good, win 3 and they’re in.
Like the saying goes, “Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good”
Saleh actually played press man early to slow down the quick passing game. Shanny finally trusted the run game. Purdy needs to get over the hero ball shit.
Never really know what Niners team is gonna show up. Last night it was defense which was really good and needed.
So analysts think the toe still affects Purdy throwing. On the deep balls he does not seem to have any velocity. And the 3 picks sort of shows that. I think from here on Kyle will limit the deep pass.
Maybe, but that second one was just bad decision He had room to run for the first and had kittle wide open right in front of him too.
Aikman was on Purdy a bit for throwing behind receivers but I was surprised at all the good things he had to say about shanahan Saleh and the organization as a whole. For all that’s happened with injuries etc. not sitting too bad a spot right now.
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 coming up for all on Unca Chuck’s blog!..
It was a painful game to watch especially for Juan Jennings who’s probably thankful for thanksgiving that his jewels are still intact..
Good Morning Football Show (Kyle Brandt) has a segment after every week’s game called “Angry Run” and his enthusiasm is off the charts chaotic where he awards this crazy ass scepter and a T shirt to the player that replicates their face ..to the best RB/WR/TE who runs over demolishes/pancakes a defensive player ..
Think it would be cool if Brandt adds an “Angry Balls” T-shirt with Jennings easily winning the nutcracker award!
New thread is up.
