Steve is a great guy, but the 49ers defense has been significantly underperforming for a while now since he took over.

Yet their in the superbowl. A goal all teams have, yet only 2 make it to.  

Defensive and offensive ratings are great. Fantastic.  

The only stats that truly matter, is the wins and losses column.  

So, seems like you're just looking for something negative to say about him and the work that he does. 

 

Good job.

Good job. 

But it is the truth. Yes, they are in the Super Bowl but Wilks defense was getting gashed in both the Packers and Lions game in the run. 
Lions and Packers just decided to stop doing what worked. 
Same thing happened a few times during the season. Especially during the losing streak. 
Wilks is a great guy but he is an average DC that is greatly helped by being on a team that is stacked defensively.

Tepper has decades of hardheadedneas over York and outside of football has been successful and wealthy. It’s not the same. I have very little faith Tepper will change in his lifetime.

As far as Willks, he’s a good coach but not for HC. But what he’s saying is spot on, and he’s been around enough to be credible in identifying poo ownership.

Steve Wilks defense can beat Mahomes and Panthers fans will find a way to say he didn't contribute at all.

 

Wilks go win that SB man im rooting for you!

If SF wins 41-38, you can say his defense didn't beat Mahomes and still like the guy and be happy for him. The defense holds Reid and Mahomes to 10 points and then youve got a real discussion about how his defense was key to winning the Super Bowl. It will all depend on the outcome, even if they win.

The goal is to win a SB why does the score matter?

 

He's the last DC left standing. Give the man his credit regardless if the Chiefs score a lot of points. You're basically proving my point as to why people will have excuses win or lose.

The Tepper's don't know crap about football. If they would have left it alone,we would have won division.

If there is a glimmer of hope its that York was once considered a  meddling owner who was despised by his fans.

He's also in some heat for insider trading right now.

Exactly this point. As I watched this I kind of laughed to myself thinking "When the 49ers have bad seasons those same owners are being called to sell the team, not genius world-class owners."

This is the sports world we live in. lol

Yes all I hear on the radio is how his defensive scheme is the weak spot on the 49ers and if they loose it will be b/c of him and they will find a different DC.  Honestly though everyone that wanted him as a head coach has to realize anyone could coach young and with his physical limitations its not gonna get much better.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
