*** San Francisco 49ers *** 2-2, next week vs Cardinals. Warner day to day (37 Viewers)

[Wingnut]

Nah.

Maybe this kind of season is what we need. We've played like 60 games in the past 3 seasons, and it's taking its toll. We need a break from the post season, to rest up for a whole offseason and reset.

Next season we will look different and I'm sure nobody will be picking us to win the NFC.

That is when we finally win one - when its not expected going into the season. You heard it here first.

 

[thecatch]

Sequence of events:

Bell dropped perfectly thrown deep ball, Moody missed FG, Ward blown coverage, excellent punt with lots of hang time and terrible punt coverage, bad defense, 1-2.

@Wingnut it’s closed. You’ll be in a happier place when you reach acceptance… I speak from experience.

Couldn’t disagree with you more about Shanahan but agree about everything else. I think this team was spent last year emotionally. I certainly wasn’t expecting them to make it back to title contention. The contract holdouts were nails in the coffin, Williams is almost comically out of shape and Aiyuk looks like this is his early training camp. That Bell drop was one of the more insanely bad plays I can remember.

Bright side is that Purdy looks like the real deal.

We’ve been in disagreement about Shanny for a few years now. I’m going to try and talk you off your position, using your own words.

We agree Purdy is the real deal. I think almost all of us in here have been in agreement that you can win a title with him. What happened last year? Mahomes didn’t throw a TD all game until OT. If I told you before the game we held Mahomes to no TD passes in regulation, Purdy didn’t turn the ball over, and we lost the game, where would you place blame? Guy loves being called the offensive guru, and you can’t ask more out of your defense than holding Mahomes to no TD passes.

Also, you mentioned we were spent emotionally, that falls on one person to fix, clearly it isn’t.

Bottom line I think he’s a decent coach, but a choker. Mediocrity, combined with being a choker, can’t win a SB, imo.

 

[Wingnut]

Williams and Aiyuk are jerk-offs, their holdouts are hurting the team in the reg season when it counts. Same with Bosa when he did it.

So irritating.

Accepting the debatable premise that he’s a choker as true, that’s not the most important thing to me. He’s almost singlehandedly capable of fielding a well above average offense and that’s one of the most valuable traits you can have out of a head coach in today’s game. It means you are generally going to be at least flirting with playoff contention and if you get the right players and breaks you can win it all. He’s led the second most successful team in the league the last five years. I remember all too well what happens when this franchise has decided, repeatedly in my life time, to fire a really good coach in search of a generationally elite coach. It never works and the franchise ends up wandering in the wilderness for a long time every time the attempt is made. No thanks.

I understand what you’re saying, but I’d take a decade of mediocrity for 1 SB. We simply have a different mindset there.

He had everything last year, I don’t think it’s possible to have a better set up and he still didn’t close.

His offense last year consisted of one of the most talented group of skilled position players in modern NFL history, accompanied by a well above average QB and a sound offensive line. I could’ve been HC, you could’ve been OC, Wingnut as WR coach, etc etc and the offense still would’ve hummed along. Obviously I’m exaggerating, but that’s my point.

Spot on. He took over the worst roster in football by far in 2017 and had them in the super bowl in 3 years with a below average QB. Been to 2 super bowls and another NFC championship game in the last 5 years and people want to get rid of him. Insane.

 

[thecatch]

By EPA, special teams ranks 23, defense 25, and the offense 2nd. You want to fire someone, fire the special teams coordinator. And they need to reinvest significant draft capital in the DL, which is average at best but is insanely expensive.

I'm hoping for this outcome.

 

[Wingnut]

Kyle Shanahan on the possibility of Jacob Cowing getting involved in the offense:

"He's still working to get out there. He's trying to get more comfortable with the offense, and just earn a role with it. He's getting closer and closer each week, but he still has a ways to go."

Kyle was asked if it's more mental or a lack of understanding of the offense:

"There's lots of reasons that go into it, but he hasn't been able to make his way into that group yet, and the more he gets comfortable with the offense, and the more consistent he gets, then he'll earn those opportunities."

Williams and Aiyuk are jerk-offs, their holdouts are hurting the team in the reg season when it counts. Same with Bosa when he did it.

So irritating.

C’mon. It’s the game. Not unique to SF. Players hold out to get paid market. Final years are often not guaranteed, and if they get hurt before they get a new deal they are SOL. It’s a game of cat and mouse. If organizations don’t want holdouts they could arrive at the number sooner.

Aaron Rodgers faces a long, arduous but not impossible road to recovery from torn Achilles tendon

Super Bowl dreams turned into another nightmare for long-suffering Jets fans once it became clear Rodgers tore his left Achilles tendon.

“In general, 75% of NFL players return to play after an Achilles repair,” DeLuca said. “Their level of performance is decreased after the first year back but returns to baseline after two-three years.

Don't expect a pre-injury Greenlaw until the 2025 season.

Robert Beal is getting less playing time than a practice squad guy the team called up this week; his career prospects seem to be trending the wrong way. They'll need to have some dramatic improvement from some unexpected guys to be competitive there the rest of the year.

49ers' run defense EPA ranks by season:

2021: #2
2022: #2
2023: #26
2024: #28

This, above all else, needs to turn around. So many defensive struggles, even in the pass game, can be linked to problems stopping the run. It's the basis of the whole effort.

CMC in Germany getting treatment. That doesn’t sound good.

From the CMC thread:

I remember it's where guys went for stem cell treatment not available in the US. Adrian Petetson and Payton Manning went there to get treatment after acl and neck injuries. Both came out balling after.

I'm hoping for this outcome.

Barrows talked a little more about this process on one of his podcasts today. I'd botch the science if I tried to describe it again here, but basically the upshot was that this visit was more like preparation for future treatment rather than actual treatment that will begin working right away. It'd be several weeks before CMC could go back and get the injection that would hopefully kick start the healing process. So this isn't really a short term injury recovery play; it's more of a backup option down the road if the heel doesn't get better with rest.

It's a good thing we signed him to that new contract before training camp.

The 49ers signed DT Shakel Brown, who spent training camp with them, to the practice squad.

They will likely promote Evan Anderson or TY McGill on Sunday to replace Hargrave.

Hopefully it is Anderson (it prob wont be), he's supposedly a good run stuffer, and we could use a shot in the arm in that department.

Kittle back at practice on a Wednesday (limited) almost certainly means he's gonna be back this week. That'll help a ton.

It seems like CMC is cooked for the season. Trent Williams needs IV's during games, the defense is arrse, and Purdy is still a tiny QB.

Maybe we need to look at MoP's spreadsheet of probabilities. .
