The 49ers are thin at WR, unless they have a lot of faith in Jennings and McCloud.You would imagine this would benefit Aiyuk and mayyyybe Kittle. Kittle's usage is very hard to predict this season.

No shares of Kittle but my concern is that if Williams is out (doubtful currently), then they keep Kittle in to help in pass protection and put their faith in Jennings and Bell.You would imagine this would benefit Aiyuk and mayyyybe Kittle. Kittle's usage is very hard to predict this season.
Ask and ye shall receive.Asking the SF homers - how has Aiyuk performed in the past with Deebo out.
Shenault would be a great fit for this offense as a poor man's Deebo, who probably would cost like a late day 3 pick.Tweet
TRADE RUMORS: #Panthers do NOT plan on trading LB Brian Burns. Was told they see him as part of their future.
Players who they are willing to “listen to trade offers,”:
• CB Donte Jackson
• CB Jaycee Horn
• WR Laviska Shenault
• WR Terrace Marshall
Panthers want WR’s & draft picks!
Jaycee Horn would be nice
Hopefully they get Kittle much more involved this week. Feels like he's being wasted a little so far this season as closer to Juice than the Kelce-adjacent level talent he is.Purdy in prime time under the lights:
In his three prime-time starts, Purdy is 3-0 with eight touchdown passes, no interceptions and a 126.6 passer rating. Those games were @ Seattle, at home vs the Giants, and at home vs the Cowboys.

I would think Horn still costs at least a 2.

That’s discouraging given the Ravens are on the schedule.To add to the above post:
A mild adjustment for garbage time will show that the niners are a full tier above anyone else, and the browns D isn’t any better than the Ravens’.

The Raven game is a long way away. A lot can change between now and then (and a lot will).That’s discouraging given the Ravens are on the schedule.To add to the above post:

It’s better for SF if we can just chalk up the Browns game as playing a generational defense that SF won’t need to face again. If it turns out the Browns aren’t that special, that’s not great.The Raven game is a long way away.

The good news is Jim Schwartz isn't a Ravens coach. Schwartz coached teams are 8-1 vs Shanahan coached teams. Yeah, the Browns defense is good, but we still were a missed FG away from the win when we played bad at almost every position and lost Deebo, CMC, and Williams played injured.It’s better for SF if we can just chalk up the Browns game as playing a generational defense that SF won’t need to face again.

never were, frankly. as long as you have shanahan's kid coaching your team your going to be victims of chokes, inexplicable losses, snatching the defeat from the jaws of victory. soo tired of hearing people say how good shanny's kid is as a head coach, dudes won nothing, not a damn thing, as an NFL head coach. I absolutely love watching shanahan squirm on the sidelines and pace back and forth like pete carroll on meth. shanny with his firehouse subs hat on with the played out straight brim look this is a fatally flawed team that can't win big games who've they beaten so far, um lets see, NYG, Pittsburgh, Dallas. a who's who of who's not in the NFL. ok maybe dallas is half decent. but the rest are bums. minnesota is a pathetic team and they smoked 'em. Can we please, once and for all, put the anointing oils away for the brock purdy movie? cancel the parade and floats..2 key INTs in this game. Even with Ward's fake thigh injury to gain timeout late in the 4th they still couldn't do anything tonight. just simply pathetic.Lame.
We are no longer in the mix for best team in the NFC.
Why are you up this late? Junior high first period starts early tomorrow.never were, frankly.Lame.

The only thing I have to say isWhere is the pass rush? I saw Cousins hold the ball for 5+ seconds several times tonight.
That's insane.
I’d also say we’re going to find out what Brock is made of, the criticism is going to be pouring in this week. I’m confident he responds. He was a 7th round draft pick. He isn’t going to look like Brady 8 seasons in. I’m not sweating, yet.
That didn’t take long.Question…does anyone have doubts about Purdy?
They let Lance go awfully cheap. I realize it was all they could get, but as a non-9er homer, I was perplexed they felt the need to do it unless there’s something I’m not aware of.
No. He's gonna have growing pains. The problem is the defense.Question. Does anyone have doubts about Purdy?

This is where I am too. Wtf is going on with him?I’m sure PFF has Bosa graded highly or whatever but he’s made almost no plays this year that would render him worth that contract. Hargrave and Armstead can’t get any pressure when there’s any threat of a run.

Why does Nick Bosa suck this year? 2.5 sacks? 10 tackles. I'm not gonna look up the next gen stats, but he seems very much an underperformer this year. Did he get the cash and just not have the fire anymore? It really doesn't add up.
I’m genuinely curious how fans feel about him. I called the 9ers the best team in the league (& not close) after they kicked our *** (Cowboys). You guys do have some key injuries, though.

Agree on Wilks, think we all do, so let’s move on from that. That call at the end of the half could be the worst call by any coach all season. I think we can leave it at that.And frankly, if Purdy was who we hoped he was, they’d have won the last couple of games. He’s a good young QB with potential but he’s not an all pro, at least not yet.
The people that thought he’d continue playing like Joe Montana are probably having a hangover, but those of us who were realistic about him - he’s an league average or so starter, which is pretty damn good for a second year QB basically playing for free - haven’t seen anything to change our minds.I’m genuinely curious how fans feel about him.

I was just wondering what the current “temperature” is on Purdy.
The NFL is so unpredictable.
If Moody missed that second kick, he’d probably be cut and Gould would be on a plane tomorrow. Re: Purdy, see my post above. I’m not down on him but he isn’t quite as good as his first 14 or whatever starts looked, and that’s ok.Agree on Wilks, think we all do, so let’s move on from that.

To this quote, I think everyone needs to calm down.
It’s Moody that’s the concern to me, not Purdy. I listed 6 guys who need to be healthy for them to win 2 weeks ago, 2 of them were out tonight. So there’s that. But look at it like this:
Moody makes the kick last week, is there this kind of panic? Moody makes the first 40 yarder tonight, we’re down 2, not 5, whole different game and I think Brock would’ve set him up to win it again.
I think the importance of Deebo was really on display tonight.I have 99% confidence in Purdy
I have 65% confidence in Moody (the 55 yarder tonight might be the kick that rights that ship)
I have 25% confidence in Shanahan right now. He usually puts whatever players he has in position to make plays. I didn't see that much tonight.
I have 10% confidence in the defense.
