Mr. Scot

I'd quote the late John McKay. "We're just three or four plane crashes away from the playoffs."

...and a David Tepper problem. Sadly, the former is probably a much easier fix than the latter.

Steichen was one of two or three young up and coming coaches whose interviews here were quickly dismissed.

He's getting a fair amount of praise. But more to the point, he's not working for David Tepper. I'd imagine that feels a whole lot like rolling away the stone and escaping the tomb

Not only Bryce... The "all star" coaching staff approach was pushed on Reich because Tepper saw the initial success Brian Daboll was having. That's how we ended up with Thomas Brown (among others) rather than the staff Reich would hav chosen himself. When it comes to football, Tepper is one of those guys who sees someone else having success and says "hey, let's copy that" rather than getting people who have their own ideas. So, not just unoriginal, but also stupid As to Bryce, Fitterer admitted he'd locked in on Bryce the year before and wasn't budging. Pretty much everyone believes Reich wanted Stroud, but why would you expect him to get his choice of quarterback when he didn't even get his choice of assistant coaches? Add in that besides Tepper's Monday meetings and his using assistants as basically corporate spies, Fitterer lthrew Reich under the bus when Bryce wasn't an overnight sensation. Basically, Reich never had a shot. Now Fitterer is gone, the all star staff is mostly gone, the Giants are a sh-t show and Reich is experiencing a career resurrection at Stanford. And us? Well, we're still here hoping for a miracle

No on Lance or Pickett... Not sure Levis fits what Canales does... Not all that impressed by the draft class... Right now I'm thinking a free agent like Sam Howell or Mac Jones as a stopgap.

Yeah, the announcers mentioned it.

I get the why. It was just...

I read Tom Pelissero's annual article about rising head coaches and personnel people for this year. Didn't find it especially inspiring

For Canales, I'd pick a guy like Howell or Mac Jones. Winston would fit better in a Coryell style offense.

I'm ready to move past Young. Still wanna see what Canales looks like with a different QB.

Would still take him over Legette just for fewer mistakes if nothing else.

Kittle has a WWE career waiting for him as soon as football is over

I'm about to the point where I'd rather see Renfrow. Deactivate Legette, start Coker in Legette's spot and backfill with Renfrow taking Coker's role...

Neither do I, but it's been a weird season. Hell, I thought we'd lose this game by way more than we did.

Don't know. The way this season is going, watch us win that one (or at least make it competitive).

I'm not, but that throw is likely complete without the hold.

Not that unhappy with Canales tonight...outside of the two point decision anyway. We went in banged up and wound up banged up even worse by mid third quarter. Between that and the sh-t officiating, I'm shocked the game ended as close as it did.

Good discipline at least. Four attempts to draw the defense off all failed.

McMillan was held.

Zero chance at this point minus a fluke turnover and the Niners are gonna play it safe

Disagree with that decision

Didn't know Ferrell was still in the league

Dammit
