The only point totals that matter are the ones at the end of a game. 

In 2003, we started off hot but got manhandled in game five by the Titans. People said that 'exposed us', but it just turned out to be a bump in the road. Individual games can be different than the overall narrative. 

Of course, to be clear, my view of this season's overall narrative doesn't have us in the playoffs or ending as an upper echelon team.

Steps in the right direction perhaps, but we're still not that good... 

I remember in a Super Bowl season for them, New England took an opening week ass whipping from the Bills. You see this type of stuff quite often early in the season. 
An eventual playoff team losing to a bottom dweller that comes out strong, isn’t that rare.

You have spent a chunk of this thread arguing the opposite. I am perplexed by your tactics.

Not at all.

I said the only thing that matters about how many points scored is who has more at the end of the game. If you're losing games, you're scoring less points.

The only time point differential matters is in some playoff scenarios.

after the last few seasons I don't really care. Being a competitive team on most weeks is good enough for me for now 

It feels like it's been 5+ years since we have had meaningful games in November...

I mean you literally are attempting to justify our -60 differential as unimportant in your first post in this thread.

Well, having a negative point differential(to the tune of -3.8/ppg) through 11 games is a very strong indicator of being a bad team. If anything, we have largely been overachieving stastically. 

The on field results also bear that out. So if we end up, and I think this is likely, as a 7-8 win team, with an even more substantially negative point differential at the end of this season how would this statistic not matter?

Point differential is the most basic statistic in existence that one can look at to largely guage the results. You do need to score more than your opponent to win.

      49ers void Brandon Aiyuks 2026 guaranteed money , set to release him.

      I think that is a price and attitude thing. Reportedly he was a bit of a handful for Shanahan, although admittedly not enough to not sign him to that big deal. I also think this may be much ado about nothing. If we plays this season, I suspect they will likely not move on from him.

      This should have been our pick

      The injury argument against him was strong but as others have pointed out you chose an injured RB of all things. Wilson was EXTREMELY CLEARLY a better football player than Wallace outside of injury/health concerns.  We often seem to whiff on these sort of players(Trey Smith, etc) when we should be making these sort of moves. This is why I railed so much against our FO and their pursuit of RAS/Underwear Olympics champions over great FOOTBALL PLAYERS. Now with all that being said.......Wilson has started 8 total games in his career. He is technically piling up these stats as a backup player. Had we built our roster better, Wallace might have the benefit of being a backup player racking up stats surrounded by better LB's, as well. Instead he is getting abused game in and game out as a starter before he is ready to be such.
