Me too, but at least I’ve had a good history of picking good games, even with Young in 2023.

Why do you post this now? We still have 4 games left and have a shot at this division. We got up like this before the NO game. We lose out Tampa, no one is going to remember that we beat the Rams. The other not for all the “it’s a given”, Bryce was the first pick. His 5th year will be $40M+. That's not some cheap year.

I’m going to the Tampa game with my youngest. Christmas gift to him, hopefully it plays out well. Love that we have this late bye to get refreshed and healthy.

Who said it was bad? Just adding some realism that you can’t count on 3-4 turnovers a week. We played two playoff teams and we had like a +6 turnover ratio and we lost by 11 and won by 3 with a pick 6 as well. It’s ok to realize we’ve still got holes and can lose to someone like NO. It’s ok to still realize that Bryce isn’t our long term answer but enjoy winning some games. If McVay sticks to the run a bit more in the red zone, it’s not a stretch to think we are down 27-10 to 35-10 at the half. We are still that kind of team. We absolutely need a team effort and when we get behind enough that Bryce has to win the game in a heroic effort like Allen or Mahomes, etc., we can’t. Listen, I like the Panthers and I was screaming when we had the end of the game plays. Doesn’t mean that my brain thinks we’d beat a mistake free Rams.

Well, we are the same team that NO beat up a few weeks ago. Look at today. Our D had a great game but they only punted 1 time. Turnovers including a pick 6 were the difference. We weren’t stopping them without turnovers. Bryce makes some throws and played big mistake free but we still needed Brown to make a huge play to win. Young isn’t the guy to win a SB but this could be a fun year if we can beat Tampa.

I still don’t want him as our future but that was a great game to watch. D was huge. Bryce just doesn’t have the tools IMHO to pull out playoff wins like the elite QBs and that’s what we need to win a SB. Still not fully sold on Canales because it felt like we won in spite of ourselves. Without turnovers, we don’t win this week and we don’t have a chance to win at SF. Those are great and are part of why we’re 7-6 and also why we can get beat up by NO when we lose the turnover battle.

And it was as big as Sanders call even though one was real and one was BS.

He pancaked his guy. BS penalty. So tired of refs being able to change games. 1st and 20, just run the fuging ball. Bryce hasn’t been terrible but when he’s forced to save the day we get sacks and can’t even try a FG. Canales should have stuck with the run.

The defensive play this season is a key to us being 6-6 right now. Bryce isn’t winning games where the D sucks like it had before. We’ve lost a lot to injuries and we have still been competitive. The offense and offensive coaching/time management have been way worse. Imagine this D healthy and not being on the field all day.

Bizarre. We took 30+ seconds to get an incomplete pass and then get a sack. Canales keeps doing this. We need TDs against the Rams. Call a fuging timeout and setup your next couple plays. It’s amazing that we are down by 4 and had a 1st down after Dowdle’s run and the shitfest of calls/situational awareness happen again. We have no chance to win this game after that. We aren’t going to get more pick sixes and we really can’t stop their offense without picks.

Burns was fine if we traded him for 2 1sts and a 2nd. Moore was also fine if we traded him for GB’s 1st (pick 15, I think) instead of throwing him in on Young. CMC was dumb because he would have been a great helper for a rookie QB and we got basically nothing for him. The other benefit for trading everyone in 2022 is that we don’t finish with pick 9 and actually get a spot to pick Stroud or Young without trading. No chances we’d luck into deciding on a QB in 2024. Now, Fitterer likely fugs it all up anyway but it doesn’t change the fact that we were offered great to obscene value for Burns and Moore. Giving away CMC and Moore as extras for Young and getting a 2nd for Burns was stupid.

I’m tired of this. His supporters will point to some of the TD throws but damn it, an open streaking WR is a throw every QB should make. It’s when he has to make plays where he falls apart and shows that he’s not a competent NFL QB. No way a competent QB gets gifted 3 interceptions and amazing field position and gets 3 points. Number 1 offseason priority is getting a QB so we don’t keep wasting Brown and Horn and we get a real return off our 3 young WRs. With good QB play, we win that game easy and take this division easy. Tired of poo QB play. Honestly, I love this draft for QBs if enough stay in the draft. It was supposed to be an amazing QB draft but some of the favorites have had disappointing seasons and some surprises have emerged. I see this as an opportunity that a guy we can coach up (one of the top guys had Mike Shula) is a 2nd rounder when he would have gone top 5 before the season. Might be able to find a Favre, Brees, Love or Lamar late first/early 2nd. Prayers to the football gods that maybe we find that every 20 years Montana/Brady late in the draft because we sure as poo can close that door on Purdy.

Appropriate ending to this game. 2 goal to gos end in interception and FG. Finishing on an interception thrown right to a safety reminds me of Bryce’s first Atlanta game where Bates just sat there for 2 interceptions. 2 years later and he still doesn’t see the safeties sitting there.

Why are we passing on the 2 pointer? How does a pass get better on the 1 yard line instead of the 2 yard line. I get why you run from the 1 instead of kicking the XP at the 2, but a pass to the back of the end zone doesn’t take advantage of the extra yard. Also, most other teams have been taking the 15 yard penalties on the kickoff because if you kickoff 15 yards closer you can kick it out of bounds and start the drive at the 20 (I think). We don’t seem to take advantage of football situations. Run it from the 1, take the 15 yards on the kickoff to give the 49ers the long field. Same as last week. Most teams will kick a GW chip shot FG on 3rd down just in case of a bad snap. We run 3 times for nothing to kick on 4th down. Luckily no bad snap but damn some of this stuff is just normal coaching moves. We don’t seem to be good at decisions.

We aren’t playing Atlanta so nope, we are done.
