Onward and upward to Seattle. Hate to jinx it but I’m feeling better about this game than the last meeting between these two teams. Mainly because of Trent Williams being here, Ricky Pearsall getting some limited action, Juice filling in nicely for the injured Kittle, and most importantly Robert Saleh trusting his linebacking corps being able to support the run more and play up instead of in no-man’s (zone) land.
Beyond that, Sourdough Sam has his own lingering oblique (obtuse?) injury (and BTW how do you get hurt during the bye week?) but anyway, he has the ignominy of his major crash-and-burn in last year’s playoff in Minnesota to deal with. So, as I’ve said a thousand times, when it is 3rd and long, blitz the fuck out of Darnold. Hit him and he’s skittish for the rest of the game.
As usual, stop the run, and get CMC going. I would love to also see two TE sets with Juice in front of CMC. If Seattle is gonna play their nickel to stop our run, we need to bring the beef and hit ’em in the mouth at the line.
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
This game kinda reminds me of the 60’s Bears when Butkus was destroying anyone in his space. The Bears didn’t win a whole lot of games in those years but no team ever wanted to play them. So tomorrow night I would love to see us bring everything we got don’t let up play 49er football and make sure they feel it.
Yeah, they drafted Butkus and Sayers 3 and 4 AFTER the 49ers drafted Ken (3 yards and a cloud of dust) Willard at 2. And they still struggled terribly.
Huh. 5 of the 7 NFL Network commentators picked the Niners to win this game.
Due to Darnold being questionable (if not for the game, for playing injured).
Yeah I could see that Blade, we will be able to tell on Sourdough Sam Ithe 1st thru drives he plays! If he’s in the pocket the oblique won’t affect him as much as rolling out imo which should affect is mobility imo..
My theory go after him hard, and hit him in the right knee,hit him in the left knee, hit him in the weenie!
I’m down with that AK!
Quite a hit that linebacker, Williams, took on the opening kickoff. Helmet to helmet. Ouch!
Both those players injured per the sideline reporter. This hurts more for Denver(LB is really good and will be missed).
Good! I hope they lose this fucking game. So far, they are blowing it with an easy TD catch (oops! A miss); and, poor coverage on Bill receivers.
Tackle Eligible Lineman Crum??gets a TD as Peyton pulling out all stops in this game as that was sure not a crummy play call..
Bills (QB) really blew that last 30 seconds or so of play. lmao . . .
. . . and another turnover.
If I typed “morons” into my GPS, I’d end up in the Bills huddle.
Crazy game Nix with a Pick and Allen follows it up by a pick as well! Turnover feast all of a sudden..
Yeah AK, it’s like neither team wants it. lqtm.
surprised at all the QB runs Bills call, but they seem to work.
Hope they can hold on.
Buffalo 66 is hilarious movie.
I got to watch that movie Willie . . . Any movie that has a cast of Ben Gazzara, Jan Michael Vincent, Anjelica Huston, Christina Ricci, Rossana Arquete, Mickey Rourke and other . . . umm, “eccentric” or weird cast members, I want to see. Not to mention it is one of the greatest independent movies I have yet to see. Thanks for the reminder Willie.
good stuff!! Denver game is nutso
Let’s go Niners. hit em hard, hit em often, kick their ass.
Wow.
Well that’s not the way to start
Kyle still deferring
???? . . . Not the start I envisioned.
Unreal so much for the ST great play for most of the season
Brilliant. Up the middle in a cloud of dust. Next . . .
Jesus.How stupid.
Their D has 10 guys inside 10 yards
2 runs got you nothing, the pass would have gotten you a 1st down,
and did except for an exceptionally late TO
That was so BS the play was already run all the way thru Tonges catch for the 1st down then the TO allowed???
Yep
winters kept the 9ers in the game
And now a Tonges fumble after the catch! The Nightmare continues!!
Well the D came to play
Gee. Every mistake possible.
Fuck,
We were favored? Hilarious.
no, 7 point dogs
Not exactly an ideal start.
Renardo Green got a serious chewing from Shanahan, he missed 2 assignments in a row, really bad.
Kyle needs to call two plays and go no huddle on the second play
I don’t think I’m suicidal but that Saturday Night Special looks like a bad omen right now Chuck
lol
Hah!! No shit.
Have to score this drive to have any chance
Kyle the clock watcher, would rather burn the clock than score quickly
Well the shut out is off the board atleast!
Oh wait they only got 3 points last game?
Geez I’m still on suicide watch 😫
Stopped the bleeding and got some points, it’s a start.
Well, if we can drive 96 yards . . .
Wow devastating news for the Broncos after their win over Buffalo..
QB Bo Nix is out for the Championship game with a broken ankle!
Tough break…
Good news, 9ers have already scored double the points of the last game and it’s only the 2nd qtr!
Yeah and the Seahawks are only 2 points behind doubling their total as well..
Ok, time for Darnold to gift the ball
Almost. Never did see the BS holding call.
Well a lot of adjustments to do
Jesus. No blocking no running no problem!
Shanny with the retarded calls. The 4th down sweep and that 3rd down one are horrible.
Maybe we pay attention to the O line now.
Jordan James had a good snap, his first of the year.
Even when they pressure Darnald he gets the pass off.
Everything working for the Seahawks and nothing and I mean nothing is working for the Niners!
CMC and Tonges out.
woo hoo
What a shit show.
I should be used to this, as the SF Giants are masters of how to score 3 or less points (runs).
So true lqtm
Tough day at the office.
Regroup, get healthy over the off-season, do a little trading and another draft, should be better than this year.
Unless the crazy injuries come again of course.
Pull CMC ,its pointless risking him, same with Purdy.
Jordan James looks like RB 2 next season.
Crap end to a weird season. They won by smoke and mirrors against a lot of suspect teams, and snuck one past the Iggles thank God.
But the O line issues were gigantic and the injuries waaaaaay too tough to overcome.
My only solace is any team with a decent pass rush will eat Darnold for lunch. All the AFC teams.
Amazing season under extremely difficult circumstances and they came up a little short.
They got some great game experience for a bunch of rookies and depth guys that will pay off next year.
Heck of a coaching job across the board and I will be sorry to see Saleh and possibly Kubiak leave.
Proud of this year’s team and the season was entertaining as hell.
Go Niners!
I am proud of the Niners too. Amazing that we made it so far this year. Seattle has built a defense and they will be back again next year so we have to draft good.
Agree Winder. Frankly, I thought the season was lost in the 2nd half. Nope.
Its a widespread belief that the Niners had an easy trength of schedule this season, maybe the easiest. There’s only one problem with that, they actually didn’t.
The projected 2025 strength of schedule, which was based off of the 2024 season results, was definitely easy.
However the 2025 actual strength of schedule, based off of the results of the games played, put the 49ers in one of the harder schedules, certainly in the top 10 most difficult.
It puts what the 49ers did this year into its proper perspective.
We ended up with the 9th hardest schedule. I saod at the beginning of the season that SOS means nothung based on how teams fluctuate so much.
Fucking Bears just choked on the goal line. Fucking Rams Seahawks in the NFCCG??? Too fucking conservative on all those blown 4th downs.
Fuck me.
Wow. Caleb drops back 25 yards and hits the TD.
Fucking crazy.
But this again shows that chasing points on 4th down is a fool’s errand. The Bears should have 9 more points on the conservative side.
That was one of the greatest throws in NFL history! 4th down last chance play and Caleb forced back to his own 40 yard line with 3 Rams in his face throws a dime to Kmet unbelievable throw!!
And then Caleb chucks a biscuit. He’s erratic as fuck. Collinsworth is right. He misses a lot of easy passes.
New thread is up.
