I agree that the sky isn’t falling, and that this could still be a successful niners season, but after the Super Bowl I just wanted to get wins back and the same joy I felt last season. We haven’t won 2 games in a row, we have lost to teams that we should have beaten(especially in our division), and we know we can play better and just haven’t yet. Our seasons not over, heck it’s not even the worst season for a team(looking at you browns and panthers), but after the bye week after we kick the cowboys’ ass, we need to reset and return to our winning ways.
other teams have been stuffing the box to stop the run against the 49ers, and going to man to man to shut down the pass. Shanahan needs to find a way to deal with these tactics, but so far he has not...meanwhile Purdy gets all of the blame, which is ridiculous.
David, I think you have Avery my good perspective on the team. Last week the same people that today are shouting for Kyle’s resignation or firing were happy to claim that the team was back. Yesterday’s loss was not great, but the team didn’t get many breaks and overall had a bad day. We played a team that has played outstanding defense without 4 of our major offensive weapons (CMC, JJ, Deebo, and even Los BA for the season). We played with our third kicker… we lost Hardgrave 2 weeks ago. Too much, still until the 4th quarter we were still in it. So… think positive
With BA out, at least we'll get a chance to see what Ricky and Jacob can do at WR this season. If they look even close to decent, DeeBo is gone next year (but somehow Ronnie Bell will still be on the team. Dude has more lives than a cat).
Its simple, if you think season is over than don't announce it and complain about it, just go pout or jump on a bandwagon for another team. This is the niners faithful, not niners critical. I remember the 2-14 and 4-12 seasons. I will take this all day everyday and twice on Sunday. There are concerns but there are also 9 weeks and a bye week left and we will get healthier ( hopefully sooner than later) lets stop firing everyone or trade everyone and L F G! BANG BANG NINER GANG 😊
Love the optimization, but this year feels different. You look around the league 2 years ago and we had a top 3 roster. You look at the league now and our roster is top 15. Lions would best the breaks of us right now.
Meh. Asking Cmac to do what he did last year is insane and unlikely to happen again. Same issues for the past 4 years. They need another perennial all star olineman to continue their success.
The sky fell a long time ago david. The niners are a mirror image of their former healthy selves. This season is most likely lost cause key players are probably not coming back this year. Great work David.
We struggled in past and turned it around because it was dumb shit costing us games. It’s clear lack of talent and skill this year, you can’t clean up lack of talent.
It’s the same team as last year dude. That’s the most talented roster in football you’re talking about. Injuries suck. Football is hard. Stop being soft.
The same roster yes. Unfortunately, many players have regressed and aren't playing at the same level they were last season. Williams has regressed, CMC is gone, Brendel has gotten worse, Aiyuk was worse and is now gone. Purdy has regressed and is throwing far too many picks. Greenlaw is gone. Hufanga regressed and is gone again. Gipson is gone. Ward has regressed. Deebo hasn't been the same since getting paid. Kittle has to stay in and block too much so he isn't contributing like he is capable. Same roster, but none are playing at the level they were.
We are definitely still in a position to win the West.. But they can't be playing like this!! This team needs to "find it". And find it quick........ Its gets late early, in the NFL
How many stars were injured during that turnaround? Niners have a ton of injuries of their star players. The rest of the season is just an opportunity to play the rookies to get experience.
The season is over. Dallas will drive the final nail in the coffin next Sunday. O line needs help. D line needs help. LB corps needs help. WR group needs help. RB group needs help. Purdy needs to rein himself in, stop bypassing underneath receivers who are open looking for the downfield shot. He commits far too many turnovers already to play that type of game. If that is what Shanahan wants, then he needs a different QB. Trade away a piece or two for draft capital. The 9ers will in all likelihood have a top 15 pick in the draft that they can hopefully use to fix the O line.
Doubters...this isn't the first time the Niners have struggled. It won't be the last. Get over it. This team has shown resilience over recent seasons. Despite a number of tough injuries they'll figure things out.
Brock is my favorite Niners right now. That was his worst game ever. Brock needs to just be Brock again. Also, might want to adjust. Defense has adjusted to his style. They figured out where he likes to place the ball now. Shanahan needs to help adjust as well.
True our division isn’t doing well. We have a chance and it’ll put a fire under their butt when the playoffs. Last season we had the #1 seed and during SB we looked rusty especially BA, and Deebo. Chiefs fought their way through the PO. Now we have to fight our way through the PO
This is the thing. Not once have we looked "good". We've had moments and the Jets game was our best game, and we still had to kick what, 5 field goals? I don't see where the improvements will come from. The offense just looks anemic all year.
Exactly. The 3-4 record is not the concern. Its how theyre losing and why theyre losing. There’s been nothing to convince me so far that they can make a run
ima be real. cmc gotta bring the energy back into the niners offense. i hope his achilles are gonna be fully healthy because if we are gonna start winning cmc is going to get used. right now cmc is gonna be the only player purdy has to rely on besides kittle
Nobody is pointing out how those other 3-4 teams were better than this 49ers team. Better kicker, special teams, offensive line, defensive coordinator, etc.
This team has been to 6 NFC championships & 2 SuperBowls they are Old, Beat up Mentally & Physically. Time to Trade Players & Rebuild. Unfortunately SuperBowl 58 will Haunt this Franchise & FanBase forever.
Nothing else matters throughout the rest of the season if we cant beat KC. Someone on the team needs to get fired up and show some emotion other than the fans, it was just another laundry day for KC.
It’s fucking over Dave !! I know you have clicks to sell, but god damn be realistic. The window is closed with this core. They had a good run but let’s face it, they failed over and over. We can either stay the course and make playoffs and be one and done, or we can get ahead of this shit and sell off any talent we have.
You’re correct the season technically isn’t over but 49ers season is done. I called it last year I knew it would be their last chance at winning the Superbowl for a while. I called all the injuries, the lack of effort by BA. Lynch will eventually leave the 49ers to build up the Broncos, Shannon may Follow him there. Honestly too many players close to retirement that aren’t performing or are hurt. I’m not disappointed by this season at all, I knew it would be like this, happens to most teams.
Appreciate the consistent effort to polish this turd, but not going to happen this year. O-line sucks, D-line is overpaid and over rated, Kyle has lost any creativity he might have had and he's lost the locker room. They should beat Dallas next week, but will likely lose to the Buc's, beat the sea chickens lose to both the Packers and Bills, win against the Bears, lose to the Rams, beat the Dolphins, lose to the Lions and will beat the Cards. That will put them at 9-8, likely missing the playoffs or hosting a wildcard that will have a better record. This is assuming Brock stays healthy which is a big iff with McKivitz and Brendan letting d-lineman hammer every other play. If people thought Brock played poorly wit until you see Brandon Allen. Trade Deebo, trade Demo, put CMC on season ending IR, put Nugent in at Center and start pursuing Bill B. or Ben Johnson. Personally would love to see Ben Johnson as HC and get Saleh back as DC.
the 49ers are not losing because of their numbers statistics or their record right now they are losing because of lack of team chemistry and there's some type of distraction.
You're wrong David. I greatly admire your work but this season was over when OT ended after the SB. This CORE group of players that have now lost to KC _everytime_ doesn't have the mental and emotional fortitude to overcome this. They're cooked. They're fatigued AND old. They simply DO NOT have the fire to go against BAD teams much less really good teams. In every facet this team is cooked.
Dont see lynch around shany anymore,in japan its called distancing oneself.3-4 projects to 8-9.poolboy,keep comparing to past.no patsies anymore.rams and cards are tough.winers only beat backup qbs.know its your job,but youre running out of excuses
Not sure whats up with the 49ers, they beat the jets,the patriots and seahawks with ease, lose leads and the game against the rams and cardinals and get their butts handed to them by the chiefs who has beaten them again, they just don't seem to determine to win anymore, they play enough to hope to beat a team but give away big opportunities to finish them off,they play like this in the playoffs they will have an early exit,and we all get injuries but no excuse, they have plenty talent,playmakers but its like their is no fire in them anymore, hopefully the bye week helps if not it will be a long season even afterwards going into rebuild mode
Season was over before started. 49ers aren't a playoff team this year. Without CMC, this team isn't very good also Purdy arm strength and deflected passes tells me he's not a franchise QB. Also what's with Purdy throwing the ball of puni helmet lol. If 49ers give Purdy the bag, the 49ers organization will be set back five years time for a rebuild
There not hungry enough, all they want is money, not superbowl trophys, you need players that want to be champions and this team isnt it.aiyuk got paid now hes worthless, trent got paid, playing mediocre, mccaffery got paid and hasnt played a snap, purdy is gonna wanna be paid like an elite qb but hes not. I freaking hate this honestly.
With all the injuries and lack luster performance, the 49ers are not a championship team. The sky is falling, a one legged water boy could do better than the 49ers.
The debacle of the Trey Lance trade up is echoing bigger implications then we’re realizing. They rolled the dice and crapped out. The loss of those three 1st round draft picks is coming home to roost.
We’ll be fine. Our fickle fan base needs to chill. If we turn the season around it will be memorable. Pearsol is going to have an opportunity and so will cowing. Jennings, Deebo, and CMC will all be back. If it is a lost season, I’ll be happy if we at least beat the cowturds.
BA contract was the worst money this franchise has ever spent.. Kyle’s time here is done.. CMC, Deebo, greenlaw, bosa, juice, Trent Williams, Kittle and Mooney Ward all need to be on the trade block, we need to get some draft capital or some younger players.. the Super Bowl window has closed.. BA Trent Williams and CMC made this whole offseason about money not the team they need to be the first to go.. CMC fleeced us for more money knowing he was injured.. it’s over for us no use in spending all this money to be gone in the first round
Christian McCaffery will reinjure the Achilles if he plays, If the 49ers want to turn it around they must find a good RB from somewhere or simply look at this season as a beginning of a process of rebuilding the team. lots of broken old parts on this 49ers team. Don't forget to Vote, I VOTED RED!
Sorry Dave not drinking the Shenanigan Kool-aid....He needs to be fired. The players have carried him all these years. He is not a brilliant mind. No more looking the other way. How dare he blame the players!!!! Time to clean house! No more BS enabling the fraud! He is mediocre at best. But folds and makes huge mistakes in big games. Why the hell didnt he run the ball first half? Then put all the pressure on Brock and the Rookies and second stingers in the second half! he failed again! You gotta get real now Bro! No putting whip cream on this stinking pile of coaching!
