We need Trent Dilfer!!The 49ers defense has allowed 3.8 yards per play, #1 in the NFL.
For perspective, the 1985 Bears allowed 4.4 yards per play and the 2000 Ravens allowed 4.3 yards per play.
This could be an historic defense.

Where'd you see/hear this? Been looking for news all day and havent heard anything since yesterday when they said his groin was more sore than it was SundayBosa being day-day is good news

I’d bet he missed at least 1 week. Maybe 2.It was indicated that he was day to day. Hopefully it’s right. He’s prob sitting against ATL, let’s hope it’s just a pull or strain.![]()
Jimmie Ward broke his hand on the first play of the game
Plus, updates on Bosa and Gouldwww.ninersnation.com
Yes also a lot of these players are wearing the wrong cleats, best used on grass but they are marketed and worn on turf. At least a few of these injuries are related to players wearing cleats on surfaces they were not intended for.The league seriously needs to ban turf.
I understood the thought process behind trading Buckner for the ability to re-sign Armstead and draft Kinlaw, but it seemed too clever by half at the time and hasn't aged well.Kinlaw and Armstead officially out
I really liked the Kinlaw pick at the time (but I thought Wirfs was the pick at the time because they hadn't signed Trent yet), but did someone miss the medicals on him? Painful to basically waste the #13 overall pick.

SF RB Depth Chart right now...and you all can feel free to correct me
2-Jeff Wilson but the de facto RB1 right now with Mitchell Injured
3-Tevin Coleman, essentially he has been signed and is now the clear back up to Wilson IMHO or what i am watching
4-Kyle Juszczyk...yes/no? He actually is involved during the game
5-Jordan Mason
6-TD Price
1-Elijah Mitchell but still likely to be the RB1/lead back when he returns although i expect Wilson to get a few more touches.
7-Marlon Mack, practice squad
How far off is this really? Things have been running smooth with Wilson as their starting which is why i feel they will be patient with Mitchell and possibly push it back a couple weeks and make him 100% for their Playoff run. Wilson's availability and health will dictate much of this. Where I thought Mitchell would be bouncing back Week 8/Week 9, maybe that is closer to Weeks 11 or 12. I don't see the need for the Niners to rush him back only because they love him a lot and he will give them a huge boost down the stretch when they are competing for Playoff positioning.

I see the current depth chart like this for the Falcon game:
RB1 Wilson
RB2 Coleman
RB3 Price (comes back this week)
RB4 Mason
Mack was released a few days ago

I never had an issue with the Buckner deal. Although he is better than Armstead, itI understood the thought process behind trading Buckner for the ability to re-sign Armstead and draft Kinlaw, but it seemed too clever by half at the time and hasn't aged well.Kinlaw and Armstead officially out

(Also, the team's medical staff appears to be hot garbage and needs to be overhauled.)
I never had an issue with the Buckner deal. Although he is better than Armstead, it's not like he was Aaron Donald. Plus getting the #13 overall pick was big. Of course, when you waste the pick because the player you choose has a chronic knee issue, it ends up badly.I understood the thought process behind trading Buckner for the ability to re-sign Armstead and draft Kinlaw, but it seemed too clever by half at the time and hasn't aged well.Kinlaw and Armstead officially out

Maybe time to move past Shanahan....
I guess we ought to be prepared for another year of mediocrity then.Maybe time to move past Shanahan....
Not gonna happen til the end of 2023 at the earliest. York is giving him at least one year with Lance at QB.
Maybe time to move past Shanahan....
That's an amazing statSince Kyle Shanahan took over as head coach in 2017, the 49ers have been trailing by 7+ points entering the fourth quarter 24 times.
They have won zero (0) times in those instances.
Largest "after 3 quarter" deficit they've overcome? 4 points, from 12/21/2019 vs. the Rams
49ers are 0-26 under Kyle Shanahan when trailing by more than 4 points after 3 quarters. Only other teams w/out a win in that scenario since Shanahan arrived in SF in 2017:
Washington 0-38
Lions 0-38
Browns 0-34-1
With Hufanga in the concussion protocol, I just saw that of the 11 projected starters on defense, 2 are healthy. Terrible injury luck for a defense-led team. Need the offence to step up and win some games. Might be a bridge too far based on the stats posted above.
49ers have 'blue balls offense' under Kyle Shanahan
He makes some good points.
I’ve been critiquing this guys play calling for years now. Honestly, if I was a defensive coordinator, I think I could shut the offensive genius out. Baiting Jimmy G into at least 2 turnovers a game should also be in every NFC West DC’s contract or they’re fired.49ers have 'blue balls offense' under Kyle Shanahan
