What I loved the most about this game? We physically kicked the ass of a team known to be tough.

 

That bodes very well for us going forward.

Even though our offense made a lot of mistakes,dropped balls,2 turnovers,missed opportunities,etc,still get the W!We could of beaten them by 13 points or so our offense played better!

I don't give 2 sh*ts about the experts. I've been here all week and have been saying that it'll be a close game. I said I thought they'd be able to run. I said Boldin and Vernon were the only viable targets and was a big reason why they were ranked last in Passing.

 

I also said what happened vs the Colts was that Vernon didn't play all day and the Colts simply doubled Boldin.

 

Guess what...Vernon got hurt. Boldin was taken away as the now only target. The result was predictable.

 

The 49ers were never unbeatable. They have had a huge issue at WR all season.

 

The Panther came in and played very, very well. Kudos to them. They deserve the win. Saying that losing the only viable target the 49ers had in the pass game isn't an excuse. Its true. The Niners were simply unable to overcome that loss and the way the Panthers played on D was a HUGE, HUGE factor.

Now do us a favor and beat the Saints and good luck because they are scary!

Been here all week guys.

 

That was rough. Panthers played great....but losing Vernon Davis, Eric Reid, and Ray McDonald didn't help.

 

I knew the 49ers probably wouldn't score another point when Vernon walked off the field. He is their only real threat. As soon as he was gone all the Panthers had to do was double Boldin and it's pretty much over.

 

Great pass rush by Carolina. Kap under pressure all day. Nobody getting open. Looked like the Colts game. When Vernon goes down....their passing game is toast. What do the 3 49er losses all have in common? Vernon hurt during the game or didn't play at all due to injury.

 

I don't want to make excuses so sorry if this comes off as that. Carolina played fantastic on D. I don't want to take anything away from that...but Vernon getting hurt was HUGE. Astronomical.

 

Gratz on the win. I think you'll end up taking the division.

 

You lost those players because the 49ers got their teeth kicked in.

 

It was the exact same thing vs the Seahawks last December. Vernon Davis got knocked the F out by Kam Chancellor. Manningham got knocked out later in the game. Both were clean plays, but all we heard was about how we played "dirty" and that's how we won.

 

In week 2 of this year, Eric Reid gets knocked out on a very similar play. Again, excuses.

 

How come it seems that every time the 49ers face a physical team, they lose "key" players, and then their fans blame the absence of those players on the loss itself? Hmm...

Jeez.

 

Wow. Do you guys honestly believe that losing Vernon Davis had no effect on the game? Jeez. Saying that doesn't mean Niner fans are just making excuses. It doesn't matter who the 49e4rs lost, it is on them to make up for it.

 

Not sure why its so offensive to say losing Vernon was a factor in the game. If you had lost and had lost Steve Smith or Luke Kuechly...would that have been a factor? Come on now. Lets be real.

 

Panthers may have won this game regardless, but saying losing Vernon was a factor isn't just an excuse. Its truth.

 

Vernon was KNOCKED OUT of the game. He played and then got exposed as the pussy he is. Noone is feeling sorry for a team that goes around thinking how physical and badass they are.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
