I remember what he said about McCarthy. So over the top. I thought he was pretty phony so when this comes up I enjoy his failure. I mean, 11 games 8 catches for 69 yards no TDs team record 4-7, that’s worth a 2 mil pay cut right?

Don’t know what to think. Would love to see a win to set up the rest of the games to be important and get the players confident that they can pull it off. II would be an impressive run. On one hand the 49ers D can be had if we play a clean offensive game. But our defense can be had too. And they have CMC This is West Coast, it is a bright MNF spotlight and on top of it, a win could put us in first place. My Panthers experience tells me we are up down up down. Well, we were up last week. I am not confident. Not sure this isn’t a learning experience. Something we aren’t quite ready for yet, and need to go through to teach us what it takes.

That game was 21-0 Eagles at one point.

I had faith in him.

Assuming a loss for discussion’s sake, it depends on what it looks like.

Damn. Was hoping he could help us out.

Same people who signed up for three years of it? Which for sure wasn’t my old miserable ass. I gave up on ‘while we’re young’ and moved to ‘while I am alive’. 71 in two days and lived like I wouldn’t make 60 from teenager on. I didn’t want to live to be old. So that wick is burned down pretty far. I need that little frog to turn into a prince, now. Or I need a new frog.

I know people accuse me of mental gymnastics but if you put the all hands on deck alarm that was out there for the QB, so much of it makes sense as far as what they were thinking. Canales and Morgan both were hired with a mandate. Tepper is not a patient man. Told Reich Young’s bad footwork needed to be fixed that week. Which was Reich’s next to last or maybe last week. Something like that. Near the end. Morgan for sure was aware of that situation. Rech had told him it would take an offseason. And it did. More really, that still isn’t fixed right.

That’s right. Lawyer Milloy rings the bell. You can’t go by week one, dating that far back. Week two is off the table for me anymore, with the 3 preseason games and the CBA limiting team activities, practices, whatever. I mean, 2 a days? Forget it.

They are smart enough to take advantage. Not sure why other teams haven’t really focused on that.

Definitely hoping for a LB upgrade program. Attack it with the same intensity as they have the other projects. We needed so much after years of serious defensive neglect. It took years to make it what it was it will take years to bring it up.

Hey if they finish 2nd in the division and get that second place schedule next year, might be some regression from the already below average. God forbid they play a 1st place schedule next year lol. It will be a fun few weeks here if that happens but man we will pay for it big time.

Sounds like he has lost his mind.

That draft might be best off just forgotten. Let’s hope they can repeat or at least come close to repeating this year’s draft. Difference being less urgency to help the QB than in 2024, and both Canales and Morgan have been in place for the whole year again and that that was a factor in last year’s improved results. Early results anyway.

I would bet they pushed the ankle hard and it wasn’t happy the next day.

Yeah this isn’t the way to go IMO. Too many other fish to fry.

There is always Bro we have eyes. They saw Sunday and they saw just one week before. GWD is a weak stat to base a player grade on it should really be a team thing. But at any rate we can all see how the QB plays each week. I don’t know why we even need stats at all to be honest. At least for these evaluation purposes. I mean, in GWD you have to look under the hood to make sure you aren’t getting sold a bill of goods. They are fine for keeping records of yards and completions and points given and allowed and fumbles and so on. For defense yardage is a bad indicator of rank for instance. You can build a nice looking house of cards on yards allowed; if you play from ahead you are likely to give up more air yards than rushing. The farther ahead, the more air yards. For one instance. So what it it telling you? Not that you have a bad pass d all the time.

I don’t remember what I said this year. I had us winning 6 last year. I was optimistic a little. I probably said 6 or 7. Wasn’t feeling optimistic so much this year.

Yeah I feel you. I like watching things work and come together. Where we are now is that every time he does something to get people excited the same people come in to crown him but then it goes right back to the same old. It is a compelling watch at least. The rest of the team is growing. This year’s draft class is looking like it could be pretty historic, speaking top to bottom. With the QB it is well we have 6 games left. Last week was great but that doesn’t make up for all the crap in the past even the previous week. He is gonna need to keep that up. And we saw even in that excellent performance, he doesn’t see open people very well. He has to have things a certain way or he can’t function like that. And that was a crappy defensive team despite whatever the statistical rankings were trying to claim. Lots of ball left to be played before we have to call it.

50,000.

It is so competitive. There are a lot of guys ready to go. Like Rico. And Rico will probably leave and we’ll find another. If you have to sit out you really hurt your chances. I guess being a 2nd rounder gets you something.

Both could happen and either team could win if they did. Sounds like a good game. We have been developing some weapons. Very slowly working them in. If the passing attack can command more respect we can play with the RBs more. Team record last week passing. So maybe they have to account for some things, finally, and we get some breathing room. Take away half of that 448 and double the running game output which would be 160-175 probably, we probably win. Against most teams.

Watched the 2 or 3 minutes Ross Tucker Greg Cosell preview. Cosell says the Atlanta and SF defenses are polar opposites. Atlanta is man and pressure, SF is zone and rushing 4. FWIW.

There is also a thing where, with the long ass season, playing a team at a certain point makes a big difference. They are rarely the same team 3 months later. I like the division games being bunched together for fairness. Everyone is basically playing the same team. Yours and theirs. Course there are flaws in that too. Maybe there should be two bunches months apart to factor that in. Injuries, development, etc.

First, it was such a shame that TD had to play in his SB with that horribly broken and swollen forearm. He deserved better and it hurt us. I have had a feeling or curiosity about Brooks’ first surgery just being botched. I could never know that, just had a feeling about it. A suspicion. If it was, maybe the second one (who I also don’t know who did it) will be successful.
