This is the live blog of the 49ers’ Week 5 road game against the Colts. I will update this frequently with information and analysis from my living room.
9:46 Here are the 49ers inactives:
- SS Eric Reid
- LB Reuben Foster
- FS Adrian Colbert
- LB DeKoda Watson
- OL Erik Magnuson
- WR Kendrick Bourne
- LB Mark Nzeocha
10:02 The Colts receive the opening kickoff.
10:10 Adam Vinatieri blasts a 52-yard field goal, and the Colts lead 3-0. The 49ers invited the Colts into field-goal range with soft zone coverage and no pressure on third downs. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh finally blitzed when the Colts got the 49ers 25-yard line and the blitzer, Jaquiski Tartt, sacked Jacoby Brisett. Blitz more, Robert.
10:22 George Kittle drops a pass in the end zone on third-and-4 from the Colts 10-yard line. That’s his third drop in the past three games. Robbie Gould makes a short field goal and ties the game at three.
10:23 Brian Hoyer didn’t take any hits during the opening drive and played well. What a shocker. He completed 7-of-8 passes for 73 yards. Pierre Garcon caught five of those passes.
10:26 The play design on the opening drive was excellent and the play call to Kittle was perfect against the Colts blitz. Kittle has to catch that pass.
10:30 DeForest Buckner and Solomon Thomas tackle Colts backup running back Marlon Mack for a two-yard loss. The Colts will face third-and-7 from their 41 when the second quarter starts.
10:33 The 49ers rush five defenders, and Aaron Lynch hits Brissett as Brissett throws incomplete. The 49ers will take over from their eight-yard line after the punt.
10:41 The Niners go three-and-out because Hoyer and Kyle Juszczyk fumbled an exchange on second-and-six.
10:42 The Colts fumble during the punt return but the 49ers don’t recover. Both teams are trying to give away the game early.
10:45 That second offensive series by Shanahan was just awful. Zone read for Juszczyk? What was Shanny thinking?
10:47 On third-and-10, the Niners rush five and Aaron Lynch hits Brissett for the second time in this game. The Colts go three-and-out.
10:50 The Niners go three-and-out again. Garcon has been invisible for two straight series after catch five passes for 51 yards on the first drive of the game. Don’t overthink it, Kyle. Get the ball to Garcon.
10:58 On third-and-10 from the 49ers’ 44, Elvis Dumervil makes right tackle Joe Haeg fall on his face, then sacks Brissett for an eight-yard loss. That’s three sacks the past two games for Dumervil. Niners ball at their 19 after the punt. Let’s see if Shanny can locate Garcon’s name on the play sheet.
11:06 Shanahan fails to get the ball to Garcon for the third drive in a row, and the Niners punt after five plays.
11:10 The 49ers may have benched NaVorro Bowman. He’s not on the field for this series. He looked painfully slow trying to run down backup tight end Darrell Daniels earlier in the game.
11:16 Rashard Robinson breaks up a pass intended for T.Y. Hilton on third-and-goal from the 5. Adam Vinatieri makes a short field goal and the Colts lead 6-3 with 59 seconds left in the first half.
11:21 Robbie Gould makes a 43-yard field goal with two seconds left in the half. Game tied at six. Shanahan call two passes for Garcon during that drive and gained 27 yards. I can’t figure out why Shanny went away from Garcon in the first place.
11:23 Brissett takes a knee. Halftime.
11:23 One adjustment the defense should make: The slot defenders should play with inside leverage to take away the inside releases and quick passes, which hurt the 49ers in the first half. If the slot receiver works up field passed the quick throw game, then the slot corner can transfer to an outside technique.
11:34 NaVorro Bowman isn’t injured — the 49ers benched him in the second quarter.
11:40 On third-and-10, the Colts green dog and sack Hoyer. The Niners go three-and-out. Hyde fumbled a toss and loss six yards on second-and-4. Frank Gore has thoroughly outplayed him.
11:53 NaVorro Bowman returns to the game for the Colts’ opening drive of the second half. Aaron Lynch commits a neutral-zone infraction and a roughing-the-passer penalty. Elvis Dumervil and DeForest Buckner sack Brissett on second-and-18. And Robert Saleh gives the Colts and easy three points by calling a prevent defense on third-and-29 from the 31. Brisett checks down to Robert Turbin who picks up 11 yards. 9-6 Colts.
12:03 Joe Staley gives up a sack to Jabaal Sheard on third-and-16 from the 49ers 16, and the Niners punt.
12:09 Marlon Mack scores a 22-yard touchdown run after Jaquiski Tartt over pursues Mack in the backfield and gets caught in the wrong gap. Mack cuts back and there’s no one to stop him. Colts lead 16-6.
12:20 Hoyer hits Breida for a five-yard completion on third-and-4 from the Colts 36. 49ers face first and 10 when the fourth quarter starts.
12:23 On third-and-3 from the Colts 22, Garcon gets held but the officials don’t throw a flag. Looked like a penalty. Gould makes a 40-yard field goal, and the Niners trail 16-9.
12:33 On second-and-goal from the 3, Brissett runs a QB draw and scores. The Niners missed 357 tackles during that drive. Let’s blame Hoyer. Colts lead 23-9.
12:41 Hoyer completes a beautiful 51-yard pass to Marquise Goodwin, who goes up and catches the ball high above his head. Goodwin has improved his technique since earlier in the season. Good for him. Three plays later, Hoyer completes a shovel pass to Kyle Juszczyk, who scored for six yards out. 23-16 Colts with eight minutes left.
12:48 Brissett misses an open receiver down field on third-and-7 from the Colts 38, and they punt. Niners ball at their 11 with 5:29 left.
12:57 George Kittle catches a 19-yard pass and gets tackled at the Colts two-yard line just before the two-minute warning. Hoyer has thrown for 340 yards in this game.
1:04 On fourth-and-goal from the 5, Trent Taylor sets a legal pick for Kittle, who makes a five-yard touchdown catch. Kittle had five catches for 73 yards on that drive. Gould makes the extra point, and the game is tied at 23 with 20 seconds left.
1:07 The fourth quarter ends. Here comes overtime for the second week in a row.
1:09 The Colts win the toss and choose to receive the kickoff.
1:20 On first-and-goal from the 8, Ray Ray Armstrong intercepts Brissett in the end zone and returns the pick to the 49ers 28-yard line. That’s Armstrong second interception in the past two games. The Niners can win with a field goal.
1:26 On second-and-20 from midfield, Laken Tomlinson commits a holding penalty. Ugh. Niners punt three plays later. Colts get the ball at their 18 with 3:39 left.
1:34 Vinatieri is on the field to attempt a 51-yard field goal.
1:34 He crushes it. Colts win. 49ers are 0-5. Stay tuned for my Periscope postgame report and team grades.
Here’s hoping this is Foster’s last week on the inactive list. GO NINERS!!!!
Looking like a swiss cheese D out there….
Go Gore go
**** Goodwin. Can’t catch. Can’t block. Can’t stay healthy.
Least he made up for it with that catch.
cannot shoot ourselves in the feet
Garcon getting it done
keep feeding 15
kap would have run it in
need 7 there
Announcer is an idiot. That’s scored a bad-pass, not a drop. A drop is when you can catch the pass without any sort of ‘exceptional effort’ like diving to the ground or trying to catch it behind your back.
Should have been a TD. Ball went through his hands.
If it hits ya in the hands you gotta catch it.
I would agree with Moses. He had to stretch out for a ball low to the ground to make that catch. Sure it hit his hands but it took extraordinary effort to even get his hands on the ball . A drop is exactly that a drop of a pass usually catchable pass. That sort of pass is not always caught. If you have to leap and stretch at the same time to even get your hands on it I wouldn’t call that a drop. Sure it was catchable but still a very difficult catch to make.
F…..
I thought everyone said Kittle had hands……………
That wasn’t a pass that a receiver always makes. It was low and he had to leave his feet and stretch to even get his hands on it.
awful penalty
soft zone is a loser for the Niners. tighten up!
Indy is a bad team. This is a must-win game for Kyle.
totally agree put a hand on them at least,we already know what happens in soft zone it’s a dud.
this game is the toilet bowl. kap would have thrown 3 touchdowns by now
ROTFLMAO
Dude, he’s thrown 41 TDs in his last 39 games. Give it up.
Nice job D.
Seb.with all do respect,please leave Kap out of this.
he needs to come back to the niners and will them to a w
Just a duplicate shadow account.
Indy has a dud of a QB..keep pressure on him. Any sign of Lynch?
Seriously? After a timeout? Derrrrrr……
Hoyer..another bonehead play
Hoyer is so inaccurate as a passer. He has to be replaced.
Kaepernick makes that throw to the sideline
Mistake after mistake.
Very frustrating.
Heads up play on the punt.
stupid play call………come on man.
Brian Hoyer is playing against a very bad defensive team and still looks like the worst starting QB in the league.
Painful to watch!
Nice job eraser :/
Kap makes the throw on the sideline for a pick 6.
Hoyer is just too inaccurate. Kyle is calling another bad game.
Offense in reverse.
Overall, Kyle has been a disappointment as HC.
Disagree. The plays are there but need a consistent QB to execute this proven offense. Penalties are troubling though which Kyle needs to get a handle on.
The 49ers are proving beyond any doubt, if you don’t have a QB, you don’t have SQUAT!
Would like to see some more runs on 1st down. Hyde is running the ball at 4.9 yards a clip this year. Feed him already.
That 4’9 is deceptive. He had that one good game with those two long runs through huge holes which increased his ypc considerably. In this game he isn’t getting those holes and he isn’t effective.
Two bad teams face off here…
kap would have put his foot in the turf and ran it 102 yds for a td
Are you huffing paint thinner?
Just a dupe troll.
Ah. Different icon. I was wondering how you kept changing your icons… I didn’t think about a dupe-troll.
OL is bad.
bad communication
Maybe (just maybe) Saleh will figure out those bootlegs….
Armstrong is just dreadful in this game.
+1
Hmmm, the trolls are coming out of the woodwork.
You’ve been out for a while bro
Good one. The trolls just echo Seb so it’s hard to tell who is who.
Hahahaha. True entertainment. Let stolen valor see what it’s like to be trolled as he trolls this site.
Dumervil was a nice addition.
Was weatherspoon hurt by the block by ty?
this offense keeps shooting its feet
Can the Niners put together a mistake free TD drive?
Thanks for listening Kyle.
Beathard warming up?
finally..kyle calls a blitz beater. Kitt;e looks like a rookie though
Is Hyde hurt?
We need kap
We need Jeff Garcia
Really a bad game so far…against a bad team.
Dontae Johnson doing his best Rashard Robinson impression…
In all the things I imagined this game might be… 3-3 deep in the second quarter was not one of them.
Eli Harold is another bad Baalke draft choice..he should have been cut this year.
You just can’t cut everybody.
Bowman hurt?
Tartt has really improved under Saleh and the DB coach.
Sideline reporter doing such a great job explaining why Hyde wasn’t in the last drive and why Bowman has missed the last 2 or 3 plays…
where is Hyde?why not 2 or 3 carries in a row to him WTF.
Brisset appears to have the tools and mental makeup to be a starter. Let’s see if he gets a chance to put it together.
No idea why Shan thought Hoyer was the best option for his offense and why he hated Watson or for that matter, Brissett both of whom give you so many more options when you don’t have many offensive weapons. I’m all for tanking this year but Lynch better do something with a high pick cuz Thomas was a whiff at #3 compared to what he could’ve had.
He wanted a QB with experience with his complex offense, especially the lengthy play calling. Just look at how poorly Matt Ryan fared his first year in Shanahan’s system. Hoyer started well in this game, but as usual his inconsistency takes over.
Maybe he really didn’t want to overachieve with a temp QB. Perhaps this season is like training camp and preseason are to other teams. They are now 0-5 with 4 games they could have won. They are better than their record indicates plus they will draft high. This is the best case scenario for this season. This is what you want for long term success.
Yeah, as Grant advised Shanalynch should have just gone with that other experienced QB who has available. Too bad the Fins got him..
WTF on reporting.
Where’s Bowman?
where is kap
Hoyer should be taking notes from this rook.
Armstead looks lost…
Armstead blew up the 2nd down play that turned into a sack. Just saying.
A major problem for Armstead is that for a third year player, he’s too inconsistent from play to play.
Every squirrel finds a nut once in their life…. Just sayin’.
Finally a good play by Robinson.
good play by rashard..finally
Hoyer is not a credible starter.
He wasn’t brought in to be the starter. He is just their to help establish the offense. Thats all. You want at least one QB who knows the offense. Hoyer probable will not even finish this season once Beathard learns the system well enough. Does anyone really believe that Shanahan was going to really give his real impressions and plans for Hoyer and the team this season ? Naturally he is going to say what he did.
Verticals!
Hoyer is a bad player
Breida looks good for a rookie
This offense seems better when they are aggressive down field.
Gould!
Robbie Gould = offensive MVP.
battle of field goals
Ah, ha ha ha ha… That ‘ice the kicker’ thing was seriously funny…
Hmmm, the Niners wasted a time out, so they did not have all 3 to use in the last 2 minutes.
.
Some day…….
Another self inflicted wound. AW was kneed in the head by one of his own players.
.
This game is tied at the half, and the Niners get the ball first.
.
This is a very winnable game.
Winnable if they can get a touchdown maybe… Kicking FGs all year ain’t gonna cut it.
I feel like we could be 3-1maybe4-1 if we would just quit out thinking ourselves.just give the ball to Hyde and stick to the simple stuff we would be doing great.when we try and do some thinking we shoot ourselves in the foot,come on man
Hyde wasn’t going to do anything against this defense. He now needs big holes to be effective. That is why they had him lose weight, however that also effects his strength and ability to break tackles. I personally do not think it was a good idea because he still is not as quick and fast as the other Rb’s in hitting the holes and he has lost what made him effective last season. He does not have the strength to run through tackles anymore and in respect to holes faster RB’s would take more advantage of them.
Hoyer at the half at Colts 2017: 12/17 130 yards 0 TD 0 INT 92.8 RAT 6-6 score
Kaep at home entire game vs Colts 2013: 13/27 150 yards 0 TD 1 INT 49.8 RAT 27-7 loss
Yea, where’s Kaep? Sitting on his couch in his PJ’s, right where he belongs! LOL! What a chump!
Oh, those pesky facts….
While it is silly to even bring Kaep into the conversation of QB for the 49ers, comparing the two teams from 4 years ago is also silly. When are some of you going to get it through your heads that you really can not logically do that. Could it be that it is because you lack logic.
Kap is done as a starter.
Witherspoon may have a concussion.
Hyde just cannot block
I suspect that he is still not 100 percent. He looks slow. However I think he doesn’t want to sit, because if Breida or the other faster backs ever get the opportunity to run through the same holes he had in his big game it will show that they can take greater advantage of them. In Hydes 60 yard run in which he was caught from behind those other backs would have taken it too the house.
WOW……
lousy series after a halftime to adjust. Kyle looks very bad.
bring back kap and kelly. This is not my Niners
If Kaep was the QB he was in 2012 they would still not bring him back. It isn’t about Kaep but the system they want to run. It’s like they want to remodel the 49ers in their own image. When you remodel you have to get rid of all the furniture that doesn’t fit with the new decor. When are you going to get that through your head. You do not remodel around one piece of furniture if you already have a different motif in your mind.
Armstead lost again…
Hyde looks bad in this game
No big holes for him to run through. Those holes made him look better than the really is. He does look slower than normal. They made him lose weight to gain speed but he still is a lot slower than the rest of the RB’s and he has lost the strength that went alone with his loss of weight. In this system speed is more important than strength. Besides that he does get injured to easily and the loss of weight would make that even worse.
I have no one to blame but Kyle for the piss poor readiness after half ,defense at least is prepared
Thomas got pancaked…
no discipline
so sad to see how slow Bowman is. Does he retire this year?
I think if he plays through the year injury free, let’s see if he plays itself into better form next year’s camp. The back to back injuries take time. He may come back even better. We need to assess the MLB position for sure. I would argue we need to draft another ILB high next year as well.
Wishful thinking! How long ago was his first injury. He has not even come close to what he was. The odds decrease with time. They couldn’t get rid of everyone at once with their rebuild and he was one it suited them to keep this year. I doubt he will end up on the team they envision. You are looking at is as loyal fans and not objectively.
THIS IS UNWATCHABLE.
face it..the game is a snoozer
No surprise these 2 teams are where they are….
Not a Kaep fan at all but lets not leave out the pesky FACT that the Colts were division winners at 11-5 that year. Let Hoyer face that D from 2013 and I’m sure he would suck like Kaep…
84.6 QB rating against in 2013
84.4 QB rating against in 2017.
There were other factors, including the NFC South was pretty bad (except the Colts) that year.
The 2013 Colts also played 2 divisions with 2 playoff teams each in the NFC West and AFC West and throw in AFC North division winner Cincy, and an 8-8 Miami team. So don’t make it seem like the 2013 record came from playing just the AFC South. Do your stats point out that the 2017 Colts got their rating boosted based on playing a horrible Carson Palmer and D. Kizer while getting torched by Wilson and Goff. The point is stats can be skewed and the 2013 Colts had better players that the 2017 Colts. P.S. Kaep sucks! Stopped being a fan the moment he said he would go to Crabtree vs Sherman 1-on-1 every time after the playoff loss. Lol
People always seem to forget those inconvenient circumstances and differences between the teams they compare players records and stats with. Teams change every year and even mid seasons. This applies not only to the the opposition but also the teams that the players have around themselves.
Mental errors. Someone needs to make a play but be smart. Hold your assignments and the cream of the crop will rise up. If nobody rises up then that tells you Niners have mediocre players. This is not all on Kyle.
There is a lack of adequate focus among the players. The vets seem to have their own problems
I agree with the announcer. Saleh basically gave them the 3 points on that last defensive play. Play aggressively or at least don’t play ultra passively.
His all gas no brake mantra is mostly false. Lots of soft zone, just don’t let them in the endzone.
Hoyer better do something. If not put CJ in. What do they really have to lose here….
What you have to lose is a QB who is not familiar with the playbook and offense. it is bad enough when an individual player does not know the system but it’s a killer when the QB doesn’t. Get a clue, they are not going for wins this season. They just want to get a core of the players familiar with the offense while also evaluating how well they will fit in. They are now 0-5. The could with , the right breaks, be 4-1, but what good would that do them in respect to the long term. Their record would be based on over achievement and they would lose draft positions that is critical in rebuilding. A competitive 0-5 is the best case scenario for them right now. A better record using temp players that are not in the long term future for this team is counter productive.
Niners have not had a fast big, tall bodied WR since they let TO get away.
we need Kap to put his foot down and run for a td for 102 yards
We need to see if CJ can play. Hoyer is gone next year or rides the bench
There is plenty of time left this season to evaluate CJ. They will probably do that in the later part of the season. Even if he starts the last few games it will still server that purpose. You guys still don’t get what Shanahans and Lynches plan for this season is.
Hogan replaces Kizer and throws for a TD — first time the Browns have led this season.
Yeah. So much for Kizer being the Rookie Savior.
Take the ludicrous Hoyer out..please
breida, an undrafted player, looks better than hyde
What a troll. Anything but.
Faster RB are better suited to the system that they run. Breida looks better because he is faster and can get to the holes and around end quicker. Hyde also looks even slower than he usually does. Breida actually has some openings to run through in this game. He never had those in his previous games. I always say never judge players on their stats but how well they takes advantage of the opportunities that they are presented with.
Really Staley?? This team is falling apart…
By my count that’s the second time Staley’s been beaten.
He’s definitely having a bad game. It happens, I suppose.
cement feet Hoyer. No awareness when a defender is bearing down on him
Listening on the radio. Is Hoyer is nearly bad as it sounds?
No.
I thought he looked reasonably good on only the first drive of the game and the drive just before the half. Outside of that not good.
Yes. He’s who he is what I thought he has been all his career. I think in general, and within a game, his play gets worse as the game progresses. And his game-to-game play gets worse as the season wears on. However, I don’t have numbers to prove it.
Yes, on the last drive all he had to do was step up to avoid the sack. He has no pocket awareness
I honestly can’t see CJ playing much worse coach :/
Hoyer has given up
this offense needs a real qb. Call kaps agent now
Agree with Grant Cohn: We have been killed twice by the silly prevent defense. WE lost the game last week that way. Saleh is no DC. He is a position coach only.
Hoyer reminds me of a headless chicken running around
put in the rookie ….the playcallling makes sense, let’s move on, let’s see what he can do
How much more trash can Kyle honestly watch from Hoyer’s game play?
Neither team seems to want this game.
Eli is just as horrible as he was as a rookie
Indy’s HC looks much better than Kyle
That play looked like Keystone cops.
Terrible Dontae Johnson!
Game over.
DC looks bad. Indy takes this snoozer game.
1-3 Colts reminding the Niners of the their place in this league… Bottom feeder.
Kyle better call Kap cause it might be a 0-16 season
I would rather they have a 0-16 record than a 4-12 record. Better draft choices :)
Anonymous Coward- What is wrong with you. Here you go thinking logically. These guys just do not get the purpose of this season. Shanahan and lynch outlined it right when they were hired but I guess no one listened.
Too bad, this was the most winnable game of the year… Can’t imagine how lopsided this would be if Luck was playing.
Can we see CJ soon? I predicted he would replace the horrible Hoyer in week 6 but it might be sooner
Damn, any hope I had for this team is out the window
Every hope I had for this team is playing itself out. Yes Hope! The hope for this team lies in the future not the present. That hope lies in the solid rebuilding of this team, staying on point with the plan and not sacrificing that rebuild just to win a few games now.
play calling is awful todsy
Are you serious? A competent QB with a reliable receiver opposite to Garcon would have led these play calls to 2-3 TDs by now.
Breeida is far better than the slow Hyde….feed him
They want to get the entire offense involved. They want to install the system and not just go with what works short term. These guys seem to have a plan. I can see it even if some of you don’t.
Wow. I don’t know if I should laugh or cry.
Give Lynch credit: Breida was a brilliant undrafted player pick.
Breida can catch..Hyde cannot.
I still can’t get used to seeing a Forty Niner QB throw the ball to the left side of the field after the ineptness of the last two years. Very refreshing.
Calling Kaep would cement an 0-16 season.
Nice no call on the facemask…
Hoyer cannot handle pressure..he folds way too easily
Hoyer is beta and CJ is alpha. Get CJ in quickly!
Defense needs a pick-6. Show Hoyer how it’s done.
Good job eraser.
ages. Ward was a bad first round pick by Baalke.
Especially since their were a lot of good receivers still available in a rich receiver draft. The worst thing about Ward was that it took to long for him to make a contribution to the team. Too much of his rookie contract time was eaten up before he contribute. Mostly because of injury, but then he was injured when he was drafted.
Damn. No PI on that?
Rough, wish we would have run it.
Hoyer has to be the worst QB ever
can we even spell touchdown
colts QB actually moves to avoid a sack and gets yards
game over. Kyle may need to step down.
lol
LOL… Defense is a joke today. Good job Saleh, you suck.
nice tackling
no worries, niners will answer with a field goal
The announcer I don’t know what his name is is saying the same thing I’ve been saying “I don’t know why the 49ers are playing so soft?”
saleh is calling a very bad game today.
Because Robinson and Johnson, between the two of them, have been making every QB they’ve faced look like a HOFer. The combined QB rating against them is about 108.0.
In short, they’re routinely burned. At least with a soft zone they won’t give as many explosive plays.
imo, not when the other team is in the redzone.
Easy with those insults. I personally liked Paul HOFer as a player. He was very inspiring. LOL.
Johnson and Rashard need to be benched.
Still waiting for the offensive genius of Kyle lol.
McVay>Shanny
Sure would be nice to have one decent db we could rely on.
Don’t shake your head Saleh, you’re getting schooled..
Kyle is a fail again. Bad decisionmaker.
CJ warming up?
God I hope.
Niners not prepared to play. Coaching staff F+
we need kap
Niners do not need a kap. They already have the largest salary kap space in the league.
What great protection and what a great throw and catch. If only they could do that more consistently.
Hoyer’s accuracy problems seem to be with mid-range throws.
First play should have been a pass into the end zone. Stop with the garbage.
Don’t kick a field goal
OMG…. AMAZING.
Finally, a TD! Nice play call.
TD! Finally!
I was wondering if he was every going to earn any of that money…
Kyle did call a good play there..fair is fair
may be too late though
Don’t F this up Saleh.
Defense needs to step up here.
We need a really smart DC next year. Sal. is a position coach and cheerleader.
Ok, offense, be aggressive!
Moment of truth Hoyer!
goodwin looks improved
Hoyer 21/31 255 YDS 1TD 0 INT 103.6 RAT
Kaep 13/27 150 YDS 0TD 1 INT 49.8 RAT
Do the math.
Will miracles never cease, Kittle catches a perfect pass.
This game is on the defense. Period.
Gorcon!
Dumb luck!
Why is Hyde in there? He is horrible. Get Breida in!
Top-10 back averaging 4.9 YPC vs a 2nd stringer averaging 3.6. You should never criticize anyone. Ever. You’re dumber than a box of rocks.
jealous of females? Well, Breida has had the far better game
Stupid play call
Indy piping siren sounds within the rules?
Bad timeout…. WTF
give it to Trent Brown to run
Now that was a smart call, feels like we haven’t converted a short yardage play on the ground in years.
Kittle finally playing up to his reputation
Too bad they don’t play the whole game with this sense of urgency…
Hyde goes nowhere..get breida in
Why do we always run on 1st down in the red zone?
Pitch to Breida already…
Hoer’s accuracy..yikes
Agree Moses. Also, to blame this game on Hoyer, win or lose, is moronic. He’s done more than enough to win this game.
How did they miss that hold on Goodwin??!
Kyle continues his bad red zone play. He needs an OC next year.
MOMENT OF TRUTH!!!!!
Lot of blown calls in the end zone. Bad teams get the bad calls
Kittle!
good play call
Hoyer 28/42 348 YD 2TD 0INT 108.0 RAT
Finally..a blitz beater.
And Kittle is born….
Hoyer critics. STFU
At least 3-4 PI non-calls today. Pathetic.
LETS GO D!!!!!
kittle muscles his way in…he is better than vance
Hoyer not accurate? 28/42? What do you want? 42/42? Unbelievable.
oT against the NFL’s worst team..yikes. How we have fallen!
Nothing like struggling to beat the worst team in the league. Maybe the kool aid chuggers will finally see this team for what it is, bad.
exactly!
Say what you want but they have fight…
So Indy gets a flag, of course.
Leave it to Robinson… F’king moron .
We just must get a credible CB pair. Johnson has always been a joke and Rashard is outdoing him and was overhyped. Two bad Baalke picks.
Robinson… AGAIN
Johnson, Robinson… Clowns to be cut
Man where are the safties?
Hilton is a monster..especially against our fraud cb’s.
That folks is the ball game.
god we stink
Wow. Maybe we will win this game.
Well that was a miracle.
Put Ray Ray at CB :)
ray ray……
Two horrible teams fighting for a tie?
Finally a flag for our side.
finally a PI call on the colts
That PI call was a gift.
Cut Rashard..he is not developing at all…
I smell a tie…
How does anyone equate the Colts being the worst team in football? Their record is 1-3. Please explain.
why throw a 5 yard pass
tradition
Hoyer’s happy with the tie I guess :/
Really? You throw that pass in that position?
another choke by Hoyer
CJ warming….
Armstead is very good at running 10 yards past the QB
Give 33 some help. He couldn’t cover my lab.
Seems like every week we get the ball and it’s ours to win. Good teams drive down and score, bad teams don’t.
Johnson again
No contain on right side…
Armstead again failed to seal the edge… He should be traded before he loses all of his value to other teams.
another terrible baalke choice
where is Thomas? Our blown first round guy Thomas! Terrible defense again against a bad team.
Yea, this game is Hoyer’s fault. No doubt.
Blitz the run!!
Yeah, we know Robinson can’t catch
game over…Kyle looks bad again. Granted, he has little talent. Saleh looks really bad today as do the fraudulent CB’s.
Niners keep their record perfect.
no run defense…odd.
Well, at least this game turned out to be exciting – what little consolation that is.
That could be said about the last 3 games.
The pass rush came back down to earth now that they played an oline that didn’t have 2 or more starters injured. :/
And these db’s absolutely kill me, how we didn’t find more help here is beyond me. This next season expect a full overhaul.
look for Grant to revise his silly 9-7 prediction downward. Is it more like maybe 2 wins?
Players to cut (or trade if Lynch gets lucky)….
Armstead
Robinson
Johnson
Fusco
Hoyer
Hoyer just is not a winner. His stats are irrelevant.
The scary part is Weatherspoon cant get on the field even with our db’s… not very promising.
Witherspoon was playing, until his own player kneed him in the head.
Slow but sure. Good nite all.
We might as well sign two CB’s off the street. Johnson and rashard just are not NFL quality.
Yeah, leave it to Robinson to celebrate his pbu when he could have saved the game with an int…
I said over and over pick Fournette.
I said over and over he is the next great back in the NFL
His stats today
Over 180 yards at 6.5 avg
Should have grabbed him and Foster then a guard instead of Mr Softy Witherspoon
Thomas was a bad pick
Either take a QB and roll dice or take the sure thing in a back like Fournette.
5 years from now Fournette will be a household name and one of those or a couple of those Qbs we could have had will be top ten guys.
Where will Thomas be?
Maybe! But then Ryan leaf is also a household name.
Its official,were the worst team in the league.
Cleveland?
Would you pick this team vs the Browns?
Yes. And against NYG too.
Yes. The 49ers have been in 4 of 5 games and fight hard.
Cleveland and NYG sez thems fightin words.
The new power-the rams-are making fools of Seattle..times change
Another entertaining game. Another overtime loss. Another day closer to the #1 pick, although the injury prone NYG just might go winless.
George Kittle has arrived!
This team is a franchise QB, lockdown CB and #1 WR away from competing for a division title. Works for me.
Silver linings:
1) Team fights hard and hasn’t given up — they obviously believe in the coaching staff.
2) Foster and Reid most likely back next week.
3) Niners should receive a boost in talent in next year’s draft.
I see the blog picked some new imbecilic posters. Shanahan step down? Ok “Allie”
Niners did not follow my advice, even though posters derided it like it was so simplistic, it was not worth mentioning.
.
I said that the Niners should go bold,and not settle for field goals.
.
I said that the Niners should consider time outs to be precious, and saved for the last 2 minutes of each half.
.
The Niners could have won the game if only they had gone for the 2 point play. Even Jerry Rice said that. I am not the only one who advocates that the Niners go for the win, not the tie.
.
Niners just defeated themselves, again.
I’m glad the Colts ST coach used your advice and decided to use one of your idiotic plays with predictable results.
A 2 point play with a team that can barely get into the end zone in 4 attempts? Just shut up.
Guess you are also dissing Jerry Rice. He said the same thing as I did.
Jerry, the greatest coach of all time?
Just because someone was one of the best WR ever, does not mean they are a good strategist. A lot of great players make bad coaches. His opinion should carry no more weight than anybody else’s.
I will take the opinion of Jerry Rice, the GOAT, over the peanut gallery, every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Jerry should stick to catching, not coaching. Seb should stick to toking, not coaching. Jerry is a Hall of Famer. Seb is a Hall of Shamer!! Lol! Knuckleheads unite!
lol. I love it.
Are you calling Jerry Rice a knucklehead just because he agrees with me?
.
Going for the 2 point conversion would have been a bold play.
.
I am confident the Niners could have gotten 2 yards. You obviously think they could not.
Stick to toking Seb. Your so phony. If they had gone for two and not made it, you’d be the first one to second guess!
I would have lamented their failure, but applauded them being bold, and going for the win.
.
Going for the tie is what losers do. Going for the win, is what winners do.
.
Some day, the Niners will learn how to win.
As great as Jerry was on the field, he’s never been accused of being a rocket scientist. I doubt you have been either. Yes, your both knuckleheads if you think they should have gone for two points. Does that need further explaining? Knucklehead = not too bright.
Jerry Rice has more knowledge in his toenail clippings than you do in your whole body.
.
Some Niner fan are you, dissing the GOAT.
Dude, you couldn’t pick Jerry Rice out of a lineup! Not unless they have a pic of him in your “Football for Dummies” handbook! SU! Your pathetic.
I would have said “police lineup” but you would have twisted that phrase into something political you little weasel! Your a disgrace.
