    The 2024 San Francisco 49ers

    They sure look old to me. The WRs can't get separation and the defense wears down over the course of the second half. Even in games they've won, they let it get much too close by the end. This team used to come out from halftime and put their foot down, now they hang on. Only the Vikings (27.1...

    The 2024 San Francisco 49ers

    This team is going nowhere. Coming off a bye against a Bucs team on short rest and missing its best receivers the niners nearly gave this one away. Special teams remains abhorrent. The defense played better-ish, but still gave up too many yards on the ground and the pass rush is a shell of its...

    The 2024 San Francisco 49ers

    Not being in camp and not being in NFL shape is showing. Same with Trent Williams (and Bosa last year).

    The 2024 San Francisco 49ers

    Not a bad start to the season. I was thrilled to see Mason get his shot (even if very concerned about CMC's health). He really could have been used a lot more last season to spell CMC and I hope once CMC is healthy KS starts mixing in Mason a lot more both situationally and late in games when...

    The 2024 San Francisco 49ers

    Arik Armstead released; didn't want to rework his contract. I believe he would have been north of $25MM this coming year, which is a boatload for a guy that is nearly a lock to miss 5-7 games.

    Is It Over Now? Chiefs/Niners SB Thread

    Armstead for sure. Before the Packers game he was out for a few weeks with various nagging injuries; reportedly the most painful of which was plantar fasciitis. He's had that flare up on him off and on for a while now. Bosa seems to be fine, but definitely getting double teamed/chipped every...

    2023 San Francisco 49ers.

    While Purdy was not his usual self, he made a few absolutely nails throws in that game - most importantly on the final drive. I expect a more Purdy-like performance against the Lions on Sunday. Beyond the injury to Deebo the biggest concern I have is the defense. In a couple of respects: (1)...

    2023 San Francisco 49ers.

    I haven't seen anyone make the claim they are the best in the last couple of decades. Better than any of the niner teams since 2010 or so? Absolutely.

    2023 San Francisco 49ers.

    I think they will. I've watched nearly every 49er game for nearly a decade now and this is the best of all those teams, including the 2019 team. I loved that team, but you always knew Jimmy G was going to Jimmy G.. be it an ill timed interception, inability to elude pass rush or tossing hospital...

    2023 San Francisco 49ers.

    They definitely looked better in the second half. The defense looked soft in the first half; left a lot of 5-7 yard screens and tosses open - the secondary was playing back. I think Kittle's production is going to take a big hit this year - he spent a lot of time helping pass protect and run...

    2023 San Francisco 49ers.

    McKivitz is not good. Neither was McGlinchey, especially in pass protection where he seemed to be tossed into the air routinely by pass rushers. The niners seem to place comparatively little value on the right side of the offensive line.

    Whose Departure From the Sox Devastated You Most?

    Clemens was rough. This one stings too. And, I was a Youkilis guy (just always liked him) .. pretty sure I was in tears when he legged out that last hit (ending up on third base) and got lifted for a pinch runner.

    Cora in line for major suspension?

    Yes. Absolutely, yes. There are many fields that are under constant scrutiny; where people in positions of trust are held to a standard of avoiding even a hint of wrongdoing or impropriety (my own profession included). Is a baseball manager in such a category? Maybe, maybe not - but in my view a...

    2018 Golf Thread

    I'm not sure, tbh. Never played any of the Vegas area courses and this is being handled as a bundle so I wrote one check for hotel, golf, transportation from hotel to/from courses, etc. We are staying at the Mirage, for what that's worth. Not sure if that's a MGM property or not.
