SEATTLE —
This is the live blog for the 49ers’ Week 3 road game against the Seahawks. I will update this frequently with information and analysis from the press box.
11:35 Here are the 49ers’ inactives:
- QB Christian Ponder
- FS Marcus Cromartie
- RB DuJuan Harris
- DT Tony Jerod-Eddie
- OT John Theus
- OT Anthony Davis
- DT Taylor Hart
11:43 The 49ers’ defense has a great opportunity to grow up today. It has given up 33 points per game on the road since last season.
11:55 Here are the Seahawks’ inactives:
- RB C.J. Prosises
- RB Thomas Rawls
- S Tyvis Powell
- OG Rees Odhiambo
- OG Germain Ifedi
- TE Nick Vannett
- DT Quinton Jefferson
12:28 Predictions:
- The Seahawks will try to get tight end Jimmy Graham matched up against Niners’ strong safety Antoine Bethea deep down the field. Bethea gave up a 78-yard touchdown catch to Panthers’ tight end Greg Olsen last week.
- The 49ers will feature tight end Vance McDonald in the passing game. The Seahawks’ excellent defense has struggled against tight ends in the past.
- Blaine Gabbert will throw a couple of deep passes to Quinton Patton, who will be matched up against the Seahawks’ No. 3 corner, DeShawn Shead.
1:02 Niners win the toss and defer.
1:07 Christine Michael breaks through the line untouched and runs away from the 49ers’ defense and scores a 41-yard touchdown. Jaquiski Tartt could not keep up. DeForest Buckner got pushed completely out of the play. 7-0 Seahawks. Three-play drive. The second play was a 34-yard pass to Doug Baldwin, who beat nickel back Chris Davis.
1:13 Blaine Gabbert throws a four-yard pass to Jeremy Kerley on third-and-7 and the Niners go three-and-out. The first play of the drive was a read-option with no running back in the backfield. Gabbert kept the ball and ran for one yard. Was that Chip Kelly’s big wrinkle for today?
1:16 Seahawks start from their 38 after a 14-yard return by Tyler Lockett and a holding penalty on Kyle Nelson.
1:27 Michael scores another touchdown, this time from four yards out. 14-0 Seahawks. Michael already has 72 rushing yards and two touchdowns. I guess the Niners’ defense isn’t growing up any time soon.
1:33 Niners go three-and-out again after three-straight runs by Carlos Hyde net just nine yards. The final run was an outside-zone play which was telegraphed by the 12 personnel grouping and the formation, which included both tight ends on the left. Do better, Chip.
1:38 Eli Harold chases down running back Alex Collins after a 10-yard catch-and-run, and the Seahawks go three-and-out. Jeremy Kerley returns the punt 20 yards to the Niners’ 34.
1:41 Gabbert completes an 11-yard pass to Torrey Smith on the first play of the drive just before the first quarter ends.
1:46 Gabbert throws a grounder to Jeremy Kerley on third-and-four and the Niners punt after four plays, which is a big improvement for them.
1:54 Jimmy Graham fumbles and Gerald Hodges recovers at the Seahawks’ 30.
1:57 Gabbert completes a three-yard pass to Shaun Draughn on third-and-4 from the 6. Checkdown Charlie. Phil Dawson makes a 20-yard field goal and the score is 14-3 Seahawks.
2:01 Jimmie Ward grabs his right hip and crumples to the ground as he runs down the field for the kick off. No one touched him. Now he’s walking off the field.
2:04 Vance McDonald has a hip injury and is questionable to return.
2:06 Wilson has forever in the pocket on third-and-14, and completes a 59-yard pass down the middle of the field to Doug Baldwin, who beat both Eric Reid and Tramaine Brock. Next play, Wilson scrambles to his left and throws against his body to a wide open Jimmy Graham who beat NaVorro Bowman for the touchdown. 21-3 Seahawks. Game over.
2:14 Jimmie Ward is out with a quad.
2:15 Gabbert completes a 13-yard pass to Torrey Smith on third-and-16. Next play, Phil Dawson misses a 53-yard field goal way short and wide right. Seahawks’ ball at their 43.
2:21 Gerald Hodges jumps offside and Wilson completes a 40-yard pass to Jimmy Graham, who snatches the ball out of Eric Reid’s hands. Bad game for Reid. He should have intercepted that.
2:25 Steven Hauschka makes a 33-yard field goal with 1:13 left in the half. 24-3 Seahawks.
2:29 Kelly calls an inside handoff for Draughn on third-and-10. Really. Draughn loses two yards, and the team punts after the offense held the ball for just 13 seconds.
2:41 Pathetic offense. Woeful passing game. Just brutal. This isn’t even a rivalry anymore.
2:47 Checkdown Charlie completes a two-yard pass to Garrett Celek on third-and-four. Celek has to reach up for the pass, and he takes a shot in the back from Kam Chancellor. Time for the Belldozer.
2:49 McDonald is out with a hip injury.
2:53 Seahawks go three-and-out. Niners’ ball at their 41 after the punt.
2:57 Gabbert forces a pass to Jeremy Kerley who is double-covered on third-and-4. Bobby Wagner almost picks off the pass, and the Niners’ go three-and-out.
2:58 Then Tyler Lockett returns the punt 62 yards.
3:01 Eli Harold drags Wilson down by the horse collar on third-and-21. Automatic first down. Wilson’s leg bends awkwardly and he leaves the game for one play. Now he’s back. Darrell Bevel has gotten greedy, exposing Wilson for no reason. Going for the kill shot when the Niners are dead already.
3:07 Hauschka makes another 33-yard field goal. 27-3 Seahawks.
3:12 On third-and-8, Gabbert throws a pass to Patton, who appears to catch the ball and the lateral it to Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner. Interesting strategy. Seahawks’ ball at the Niners’ 20.
3:19 Hauschka makes a 22-yard field goal. 30-3 Seahawks.
3:24 Gabbert rolls out and throws out of bounds on third-and-6. Niners go three-and-out.
3:24 Niners are 0-for-10 on third down.
3:25 Trevone Boykin throws a 16-yard touchdown pass to Doug Baldwin on third-and-6. Boykin would be the best QB on the 49ers right now. 37-3 Seahawks.
3:42 Hyde scores a 10-yard touchdown run. 37-10 Seattle. Niners ran the ball eight times on that drive. Chip Kelly wanted to establish his run game down 34 points with eight minutes left.
3:51 Boykin throws a pick right to Nick Bellore with 3:40 left. Niners’ ball at Seattle’s 47.
4:01 Hyde scores a touchdown and a two-point conversion. 37-18 Seattle. Kelly leaves Hyde in the game to make Kelly’s offensive numbers look better.
” ….The 49ers’ defense has a great opportunity to grow up today. It has given up 33 points per game on the road since last season….”
Yeah… but …
Tomsula and Geep are gone …
Niners win this one … YAY !!
Correction, maybe you meant Mangenius, the DC, is gone, and O’Neil had a pretty good defensive plan, that first game.
Geep had little to do with allowing 33 points.
Ask Balke if we’re winning with class yet.
It’s another road Chip, and the Seahawks chant, “There’s no place like home”. Go Niners! Table for 53 at midfield, serving roast beast….
Fricasseed Fowl.
Not a fan of Chip’s hire but cannot wait to be proven wrong. Hopefully, it starts today. Go Niners!
S.F. 31
Sea. 3
Big days for Kerley and Buckner.
I see you’ve gotten into the Oregoniner’s glue….
Seattle is done. Statement game for the Niners.
Apparently they’re well “done”, according to this http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamdef. A 31 burger on this defense by the 49ers offense? That’s where the glue comes in….
I expect the D to score at least once and give our offense a short field all day. The Niners offense has been better in the red zone this year.
At this early juncture in the game, I expect a heavy pass rush that makes Gabbert yippy….
My glue just wore off Razor. :(
Yea, the rush only lasts a few seconds. When you come down, I’ve heard dark chocolate helps; >)
Ugh. Just listened to Baalke. He just stressed delivering the ball from the pocket and promising to run on first and second down.
Hope Chip ignores his advice.
He’s the last guy I’d be taking any offensive advice from….
Hope the Ducks contain RW in the pocket while driving the blocker backwards to collapse the pocket.
I would like to see Garnett and Skov play. Maybe even put Beadles at RG if Tiller is limited, so Garnett can play LG, his natural position. Play Skov on first or second down to stop the run.
I think Skov will get some playing time once we get the lead. I think Buckner will be able to run with the injured smurf. Ward may have his best game as a pro today.
Wanting better but the 9ers will find a way to loose this one–not by much, it’ll be bitter. Hoping I’m wrong.
Cassie …
if you have a “loose” .. belt ..
…your pants fall down
Loose defense…
12 49ers 10 seafcks
Go niners
Have to win with the Cardinals gettING handled good chance to actually grab the division lead. Let’s Go 49ers
All I want is for BG to be an average QB, throw 3-4 yards passes with no interceptions and we’ll be fine.
Seattle has allowed just 19 total points, the Niners coughed up 46 last week. Chip Kelly’s team struggles to move the ball at times, while Carolina fell asleep at the wheel taking us for granted. Whenever the 49ers got close they put their foot on the accelerator.
Seattle, like a fat and sassy grizzly bear stuffed with salmon for the winter (or too many SuperBowl trophies) spots a 49er uniform it’s a get healthy game. Seattle will not hibernate (take us for granted) as Carolina did. They will deliver an ass kicking from the 11th man’s opening cheer.
Oneil and Wilhoite are a bad Combo plate with Graham running around downfield:
Seattle 33-12
By halftime, Seb will be spotted at 4949 Centennial trying to sell stormware too uppermanagement.
“It has given up 33 points per game on the road since last season”
Huh? That’s one game in which they gave up 46 points.
Hyde needs to step up today. Maybe mix it up with some sweeps and counters to the side of Staley and Patton.
Good thing they cut Driskel so Ponder could be inactive each week. Given that he was painting his house when the 49ers called him I bet they could have cut Ponder and kept Driskel until they actually needed to make the change. If Gabbert goes down and out and Kaep becomes the starter by that point if Driskel still isn’t ready to be the back up you sign Ponder then.
But hey, Baalke clearly knows what he’s doing.
And the route is on…. Inexcusable.
That didn’t take long.
34 yd pick up for Baldwin … yow !
Christine w/ a TD … ouch !
That looked like it was on Bowman!
Niners D is soft!
Thanks, Grant.
You just knew we’d lose when grant predicted us to win. I hate that nepotism has given him this job, he’s a terrible writer.
Nice start. Tell me again how the 49er DB’s have the advantage in this game?
Jeez. I’m just going to shut up about judging opponent team’s weaknesses.
Now for two runs into the line for 2 yards and an incomplete 3 yard pass on 3rd down. Go Niners.
Welcome to Blaine Gabbert’s Football 101
I could tell the time by Gabbert’s 3rd down throws….
Ugly as usual. What a great product Baalke.
Captain throw it short of the sticks. New prediction this gameis going to get uglier before it gets better.
New nickname, Short n Sticky!
Better know by his peeps on the streets as, Indica….
Awesome!!!
Just throw the ball down the field all ready, your’e getting blown out!!! Whats the point of playing conservatively, are you trying to win the game or just keep the final score close.
Perfect
Chip and Blaine, do you have to be so predictable?
Why is Gabbert so afraid of 1st down markers? Gonna be a long day again.
Given the NFL average a QB should only have to complete two passes to make a first down. Gabbert completes two throws were still 3rd and long.
Could drive a slow bus through these holes… wtf.
We suck
You may suck, I sure don’t so don’t say we.
Michael has been reading Seb’s advice about going down instead of taking the hits and risking fumbles….
What is this garbage? Seattle has the worst line in the NFL yet we can’t do anything.
Hard to win games when the defense decided to imitate tackling dummies
It’s been a familiar pattern, and it has Tommy Cable’s fingerprints all over it….
This is even worse than I’d imagined, which was disaster in its own right. Disgusting. Pathetic throughout.
Sorry, this defense is a joke Oneil… 26th ranked OL is manhandling your soft defense with their backup RB. No worries, Gabbert and this great offense will save the day :/
Kap finishes this game
Because the QB plays defense??
This defense has quit already! Pathetic!
Good Lord, Barry Sanders in the house, apparently.
GAME OVER
Gabbert must be all yippy inside. Get ready for three consecutive passes of 3 yards!
*Bill Paxton voice.
John Lynch on SF defense:
“Not even putting up a fight”
That sums it up.
I might have been too generous giving SF 13 points, but Seattle is well on their way to my 31 burger….
Yet the only thing people will care about is who’s the qb
Damn…..blowout already.
pathetic showing thus far
Yep, very reminiscent of 2015.
This looks way too much like last year; win the first game and then completely fall apart.
49ers should start breaking rules like carroll, maybe it’ll get them better prepared for game day.
I wish Grant predicted a SeaChicken win …
this is really bad … t
here goes our holding on the1st place
in the NFCW …
That didn’t last long
we are vanilla on defense too… Baalke get out! … this season is going to be painful!
We are bad on offense and defense . No.pass rush at all and Gabbert I will not even go there. Maybe activate Ponder. I really do not have a answer but it looks like neither does the coaches
How do the Seahawks turn their season around? Play the 49ers! I’m betting it’s gabberts fault the scoreless Seahawks have already put up 14
No dude, it’s not his fault but he is not the answer at QB. We chose not to address the position and still do not have a future franchise qb. We are a bad team…again
Identical start to last year. Identical team. exrwmely tough being fan of this mismanaged, under talented team.
Gabbert = King of the 3 and out !!
Jim O’Neil king of whatever ails your 3rd down conversion rate!
Because he called run run run?
Kaepernick must not be ready, because that looked like a give up call to me. Got to keep Gabbert healthy until the bye….
Yeah ok
Can we get a ref who isn’t shy with speaking to crowds, Jesus
Chryst!
No surprise really… Only ‘successful’ coaches this team had under York’s ownership was Mariucci and Harbaugh. Look how quick they were to run them out of town… Niners are right back to the bottom of the NFL and all one has to do is look at this strong headed ownership and GM. This team is doomed.
Well, looks like Grant’ assessment of the seahags yesterday is a complete fail!
Their porous offensive line is feasting on the 49ers front 7 at the moment and Wilson is going to have a career day passing if this pattern continues.
I had a feeling that the hags offense was going to explode after a couple of bad outings – was only hoping it wouldn’t come at our expense.
We didn’t let hope cloud our logic….
When do we get to play the rams again?
You mean the probable end of day 1st place Rams? Hard to believe.
Defense can’t stop anybody.
On Defense this isn’t on the coaching but on the players who are getting pushed around.
On Offense; conservative play calling. They have to try to push the ball down the field, mix up the play calling.
I disagree. This wide alignment on the line O’Neil is running has created huge holes off tackle. I think this points to a lack of faith in Harold who still has a hard time setting the edge.
Did that punt skim the sideline before it hit the pylon?
something in my contrary nature was put on alert when a few sources made the storyline for this game the terrible Seattle O-line. you cant beat a rival in the press, you gotta beat them on the field.
Players play…Coaches Coach…UCLA English Majors write books and stay out of the prediction business.
Do you know the way Stan Jose? (D. Warwick)
Way to go Chip. This team was ready to go from the opening kick, NOT.
We want Carr, we want Carr. Holy … .
Officiating both in college and NFL are a joke. He clearly leveled Kerley before the ball got there.
Chip Kelly offense + Blaine Gabbert = 2 yards and a cloud of dust. Real surprising Gabbert throws it to Kerley’s feet on 3rd down. Who else?
Gotta love how Gabbert attacks the line of scrimmage in the passing game. This game is likely already over, this offense looks incapable of scoring 14 points.
Fourteen? FOURTEEN? If not for some vanilla defense at 0 – 35, I’d be surprised if the offense comes up with three points.
Cassie don’t you hate it when you’re right. Your call on them finding a way to screw this one up was spot on.
Man people are bailing on Blaine teams pretty quickly here. It only took 14 points to wake the defense up.
*Blaine train
It was with much trepidation that I boarded in the first place!
Another yard shy and a f’king FG. Wow……… Where’s the fight.
Fumble that won’t be overturned because well we are the 49ers.
Not definitive
You’re not making any sense at all.
@Wilsonm73
What are you talking about?
Exactly my sentiment.
Rebel give me something to work with, what’s confusing you?
Your “Blaine Train” comment above. Don’t sweat it, though.
Got, it people are bagging in BG right now and his supporters are quite.
Hammer’s nickname for Gabbert.
The reason I wrote Blaine train is because auto correct wrote “team” instead of train.
Let me help you then Rebel. Cassie predicted teh 49ers would find a way to lose the game. The next post is how quickly the fans are bailing on BG. His supporters are really quiet right now. After 14 points by the Hawks they finally look like they’re awake. Better?
Sure. Thanks for the heads-up.
That was a fumble, but I can’t believe they actually reversed the call!
Me either!
Thanks refs. Could have been a bigger play
Fox guys are totally slurping on the nfl.
ok lets get 7 and back in this game
Dream on.
That short throw to Draughn wasn’t really Gabbert’s fault was it. Draughn made the cut to the outside too early, didn’t he?
Gabbert went through his reads. Gotta get the ball in a playmakers hands
I don’t think it matters, does it? I mean, it’d be one of hundreds of throws that were short of the sticks on 3rd down….
Who was open past the sticks. You force a pass its an int. This isnt rocket science.
You’re trying too hard. Let’s take a pause, look at the all 22 and agree to report back….
I saw Gabbert go through his reads. But you got it.
Good for him! He’s fantastic!
He was open but had to wait for Gabbert to throw it if it was thrown while he was running it would have been a 1st at least
The rb wasnt the first read smart guy.
2nd time being an @$$ to me it’s not called for
Indica throws another striker on 3rd down!
Who should he have thrown it to genius?
That would be a question for Chip. You know, the dude that designed the play….
Well you guys bitch when he goes to the rb too early and now bitch when he goes through his reads.
Damned if he does. Damned if he doesnt.
He’s trash, get over yourself!
Got the FG most were saying we’d get!
Had him open and took him forever to throw it would have been at least a 1st down
Reads. He wasnt the 1st
Woooooopty doooooo!
Gabbert refuses to throw past the sticks. Gets rid of it seconds earlier and it’s a first down. Field goals aren’t going to win the game up there
Oh and I forgot. Isn’t a seahak game without one of our main guys getting injured. This book is so rehearsed I don’t have to even open a page. Smh
This team might actually be worse than last year. That’s a scary thought.
There it is.
Ouch that would be something
10 quarters into the season. You might want to hold that thought for 5 more games.
I don’t know eMJ, the team that hadn’t scored 2 TD’s has three in the first half. We’re making them look awesome.
Its what this team does
We look helpless, the Hawks are a comeback team for sure but this is pathetic.
So much for Constant f’ing Complains theory on the Hawks demise hey Wil?
If Jimmy Ward just tore or pulled his quad, he’s out for the year.
Armstead commanding the double team, allows Brooks to ruin Wilson….
Lol. 3 men rush
I agree, a load of passivity with a three man rush!
That’s a wrap!
This defense sucks!! O’Neil should be fired for this mess.
Like a hot knife through hot butter. Absolutely no resistance.
Brock got burnt.
Can someone wake up the defense for fs sake.
That was the wrong defense, Jim!
Add ILB to off-season priorities
Put in kaep…as a safety
Bitter?
Vague?
Man just because BG isn’t lighting up the Hawks you don’t need to hate on CK.
No kidding, gawd!
Parsnip?
Accord?
Transverse?
I can do this all day.
Think Grant’s working on the grades for this game?
Defense grades, Cassie …?
Not too difficult to conjure up… is it ?
After the grades are tallied, Grant should have a parent-teacher meeting with the Yorks.
O’neill wasn’t good with the Browns, so why should we expect anything different. As soon as there is game film to watch the 9ers get trounced.
I didn’t think our DBs could be worse than last year. Mind blown like this game!
wtf……they letting tomsula coach this team?
Kap starts 2nd half
Kap starting the 2nd half would be a disaster! Then again it already is.
Maybe he can rally the troops. No better time than now to see what he can do. Unleash the Kap!
I don’t believe he’s physically where he needs to be. I think the bye is the more likely plan….
Horse crap! If you can dress you play. He should start 2nd half!
Ha! Now you want him? You just want to make Kaepernick the sacrificial lamb!
What do we have to lose? You think saving him for the bye will matter?
I’m thinking trade bait!
Are you afraid to see what he can do? At this point rock bottom is here, let’s see what he can do!
Nope, but it’s time for Gabbert to take his ass whupping like a man. He is the man! Forcast is for sunny, clear skies, Prime! Ha, Ha! ; > )
I think the lumps have been applied. He’s not getting it done. Bring on the storm, let’s see what he can do? You sound scared Razor to see what your boy can do, blaming health to keep him safe from a good defense. Instead let’s ease him in with a nice soft game like NO.Reality son, you need it today!
Scared? Not me, just giddy from the desperate Gabbert farmers praying for a storm!
Surely you jest.
Finesse vs power. I’ll take power every time over this embarrassment.
Is Kerley the NIners best offense player?
Now is he hurt?
Can we try along pass on 1st down?
49ers look like a team without callouses from not hitting in padded practices….
Agreed kap is playing. This is unreal
Man I doubting it. I’d be really surprised if Kelly made a knee jerk reaction. Gabbert hasn’t been effective but he’s not the one losing the game either. I don’t think CK will make much of a difference without the run game either.
I guess we’re throwing the towel in,terrible call if your not going to go for it than punt it why give them the field position.
Brooks is having a great day.
Welp. Off to the chiefs game
Not just bitter, but a quitter too.
You knoe me oh so well
Just a jab. Sensitive too? Gawd, I feel sorry for your wife; > )
Who says I’m married…but maybe you should ask yours.
It’s a love hate relationship!
Sounds painful, cough if you need me to call the police…
How to not intercept a pass, as perfectly executed by the Niger defensive backfield.
That’s a slip, right?
Uncool
Wahnsinn. This is just ridiculous.
This defense even tackles soft. And it sure doesn’t help to have Reid assist Graham with that catch. What happened to knocking the ball down??
Direct reflection of how they practice….
Is this half worse than anything Tomsula served up last year?
49ers might give up 600 yards today
There’s my fieldgoal for my final score prediction of, 31-13. I think I over promied on the 49ers side….
If the Hawks and Niners each score 3 more points in the second half my score prediction will come true. I had really hoped I was wrong too :(
3 games 3 blow outs with 9ers at the ass end of two of them. SMH
Gabbert sucks!!!!!
This whole offense sucks. Big time.
Thank god. Not Sherman, of all people.
Kap is starting the 2nd half.
Kaepernick Kaepernick time for Kaepernick
Now that’s worthy of a larger-than-life bronze statue outside the front office…
They are who I thought they were.
Nah remember Big P were not real fans because we don’t bye into the over hype. Where is that loud mouth 49reasons now?
At Seb’s place…
I’m not happy about this team being terrible but this is exactly what I expected from them. They just aren’t good.
49 is going to lecture you as you have never been lectured…………..
I don’t think Draughn was expecting that throw.
This is pathetic
This is what you wanted, now roll in it!
It is?
Just messing with you, Hammer. It’s not Gabbert’s fault, it’s the defense….
It’s everything about this performance today.
Just get a running clock in the second half and get it over with.
What time is it? It’s Indica time!
It takes a special kind of QB to throw the ball into the back of his own players head. I don’t have any confidence in Kaep, but it’s time.
We are seeing the “strength” of the 49er roster right now.
Enjoy.
It’s a relief to know that Baalke focused on both the OL and DL this offseason and was still able to hold on to around $40 million in salary cap space (where’s the sarcasm font when you need it).
Ha why spend the money when you’re deep
Yes, we are deep. Deep in mediocrity that is.
another 3 and out ? ..
Why am I not surprised ?
Where’s Seb?
Waiting at the next station….
Midnight train to Georgia?
So how many losses do the niners have to endure before Kaepernick is finally made starter of the team again?
Good question, Suede !
Start the chant !
Like itll make a difference
He’s a doubter!
You really think things will be better? Is that because the team’s QB has an impact on how well the team’s defense plays?
cubus, Gabbert is just Gabbert, he’s only contributing to the defense being on the field a lot. They played awful all on their own. CK. Won’t change anything in this game.
No, I don’t believe CK will. I’d be more interested in seeing if Ponder could look at least respectable.
I don’t think Ponder is respectable. It just shows our desperation. If he was better he’d be suited up.
Something to ponder…
He should get the 2nd half. Then we will know we are getting the 1st overall pick! We want Kap! We want Kap!
yeah and draft a lineman with an ACL problem……………..
Is Kaepernick going to play defense too?
Yes the offense stunk again, but the 49ers got their @sses handed to them in every phase today.
Is Kaepernick going to play defense too?
No, but I think he could improve 3rd downs, which would help the defense. Gabbert’s 1 for 11 before garbage time suggests to me a position change to cornerback, because he’s not helping the defense at quarterback….
Dude, it was 7-0 less than a minute into the game, and 14-0 soon after that. This defense sucks eggs.
So does Gabbert, unless you’re into self-denial….
Never said he didn’t. He’s not helping them win. This was a total team failure.
This may be heresy, but Bowman isn’t worth the money he’s being paid. Sad, but true, imho.
Agreed. Shell of who he was
Agreed
This is a poorly coached team.
We need an iron sharpener. Wait…!
Kap is still underweight. Plus, playing him against his arch rival while behind big would be a disaster and diminish any trade value he might have.
Cant wait to see Kaep go into a game and see no improvement. Then what will the “fans” complain about.
The same stuff you’re complaining about now?
I see the issues of this team being much more than who’s behind center….or were those 24 points all pick 6s and fumbles by #2?
True, the issues are too great to blame on #2. The problem is folks use the same logic for the back up QB that all the problems are his fault. Gabbert hasn’t been effective on offense for his part.
Kap couldn’t do any worse than gabbert just did. The king of the check down. Why try and get s first. Check down for 3 yards short
What a fan! Go watch your hero, Alex Smith. You know, the guy Kaepernick sent packing!
Yeah, cause were so much better off now because of that decision now arent we??
The guy that made it looks great in the maze and blue!
That trade might be Baalkes worse in 49ers history!
I think letting Walker walk was followed by the Jenkins envelope.
If Kaep goes in and shows he isnt a good QB- then i can get busy on ignoring the rest of this season and hoping the niners lose from here out so we can get a QB in the draft.
Im not looking to complain, but it is fairly ridiculous Kaep is being held behind Gabbert now. Gabbert is not good- we have seen enough
Lets see if they come out and play a half of NFL football?
No grades needed for this game Grant. OK maybe just an F. What’s a lower grade than F?
Why is anyone surprised. Gabbert is exactly the same lousy quarterback who failed miserably in Jacksonville. Only the Kap haters on this blog thought Gabbert was any good. Classic example of wishful thinking.
I expected us to be 1-2 after three games, so I am not ready to write off the season just yet. I still believe we will beat Dallas next week to get back to .500.
I don’t think we will see Kap in the second half. I predicted Kap would be back for the Cowboy game and I am staying with it.
The only entertaining moment of Kaep’s possible return would be if he got his helmet ripped off on a QB keeper and a massive Afro exploded from his head. That made for television moment would likely be sandwiched between two pick sixes.
Yea, it’s not like we haven’t seen him at full strength in this offense before!
At least he would try a throw downfield for it to be pick sixed. Your boy Gabbert does not have the balls to throw more than four yards downfield.
He doesn’t have the GUTS! *disclaimer – just joking for all you Gabbert fans….
Gabbert is terrible. I’ve said that consistently. Kaep isn’t going to make this team better. He has regressed as a QB and the league caught up to his game three years ago. Just because he’ll take shots down the field doesn’t mean they’re smart throws. They’ll turn into interceptions.
Thank you Big Postradamus!
York the dork + balke= vomit. I like chip, but boy nothing seems to be working. Interesting tha the panthers lost. Kind of scary that that brooks is our best player in a blowout. Other than Buckner and armstead right now the cupboard looks bare! Hope things change!
You would think players on a team predicted to be worst in the NFL and huge underdogs each week would show a little more bite instead of playing scared against a hated division rival. Baalke’s roster of Jed’s nice guys is on full display… If Baalke survives another season fans should protest #NinersFansMatter.
Protest?????????? This team is a reflection of the ownership. It should be black-balled!!!!!!!!!!!
So this game is over.
it appears the season is heading in that direction /also.
Kelly won’t pull Gabbert unless he’s injured.
Celek is thinking “thanks Blaine for hanging me out there with Kam’.
Is it time for the banners to fly over Levi’s ?
What would you put on them MW?
Just two words… Wilson ..
“Gabbert Sucks”
Yes sir MW. Hold Denise accountable.
Gabbert is setting up his teammates to get murdered. Hard to watch.
Not defending Gabbert’s poor showing, but it’s going to be very hard to go into Seattle the first time (w/this rivalry) and get out of there with a win. Kap has folded there every time.
Classy Pete Carroll as our guy is laying on the ground he’s handing out loud high fives. Gabbert is going to get somebody killed
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
Why were the Yorks so quick to get rid of Mariucci and Harbaugh? Ya know, the only 2 coaches who could win games under their ownership…
Because they had credibility, and are therefore a threat. They spoke their mind.
Niners give up 300 yds in the first half. Hyde averaging less than 3 yds per carry. Long season again.
14 3 and outs, most in the NFL under Blaine. Not good.
Know what. As crazy as ist sounds, I’d rather see Ponder than Kaepernick. Not sure if the former is even active, though.
He’s not active.
+1 although all 3 of these QBs are backups at best (thanks Baalke!).
I think wishing for Ponder reflects our desperation.
Sure does.
This is the Rattay/Dorsey years all over again.
From the football perspective, makes those years of the late 60’s through mid 90s in the Bay Area look and feel pretty good about now. I had the privilege of seeing many great games…now so long ago. Hope we get it back before we’re all dead…
Prime, I just checked the Farmers Almanac, and November 6th is when they predict the next incoming #7torm….
Same crap show, different year.
an unpreparried football team!
Defense sucks, offense sucks, now special teams suck. My optimism is taking a big hit again today.
Holy crap, you’ve actually been optimistic about this team? We’ve got us some real sunshine here.
Kaepernick Kaepernick
Gabbert missed a wide open wheel route and instead tries to throw a pick. Soooo hard to watch this crap :(
Dennis Erickson v2.0.
Looks like we are failing in all three phases of the game.
Crush that smurph!
I would say fire Chip, but we don’t have any competent coordinators to replace him. I would be calling Shannahan in a hour or so.
That was not a f-ing horse collar tackle! BS!
The league is after the 49ers since Harbaugh actually was surprised that we got the fumble call.
Horrible call. I am so sick of the nfl and their subjective calls
Brock makes Baldwin look like John Brown.
Bad call. That was a clean tackle.
However; it will have no impact on this game.
I never thought I’d see a 49er QB play worse than Kaepernick against the Seahawks. Bring in Ponder.
Sadly inactive….?
ah well
There’s a lot of 49ers QB’s that would have played awful against this Hawks defense. Rattay, Hill, Carr, Dorsey to name a few. Outside of Montana, Young, Garcia, Bono and a few others most of our QB’s would have looked like this against this D.
I was referring to this current era
This is horse s##^, The team is showing little fight. Ths season won’t be a dumpster fire, it will be a Chipster fire.
Does Kelly know it’s not illegal to throw the ball on 1st down?
But Jack, Chip is an offensive genius. He will make Gabbert look good. Hyde will benefit from his play calling. FIRE THIS JOKE OF A COACH IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE GAME!
Did Patton do that on purpose?
Some games nothing goes right
Well fellow Faithful, that sums up this 49ers organization up right now…. One big F up. Jed York has no one to blame but himself.
Perhaps Jed is composing a tweet…timed for the conclusion of the game…
Poorly thrown ball causes the reciever to tip it to a Hawk player. Look Kaepernick is reading on the tablet. Any guesses what he’s reading?
Seb’s emails
Geez make him stop that.
Razor
Good one Razor…for sure a LOL
Jack warned you about that glue, Oregoniner!
Indubitably.
Ha. Even an undrafted QB looks good against our defense.
Baalke should be fired after this game ala les miles
Hey, let’s fire up those banners again…who’s got the number of that banner flying outfit?
Agreed Cassie. This performance is unacceptable.
I’ll contribute .
The biggest indictment against Chip Kelly is how good the Eagles look and how much the 49ers look like the same team. His offense is vanilla if you take the hurry up aspect away and he’s afraid to run hurry up because he has received so much criticism for wearing his defenses out. He’s done in the NFL. The thing that sucks is that he is on a 5 year contract and there’s no way York fires him when he’s still paying Tomsula. So look forward to at least a couple more years of this.
How muc is Kelly, how much is the roster by Baalke?
Much*
Bingo.
I pointed that out on this site before the season started and got all sorts of idiotic replies stating that the Eagles were awful, and Chip was great, and that the Niners were on their way to great things with Chip.
Not from me you didn’t. I was among a group that hoped he would do well but I continue to believe that once Tomsula was fired Kelly was a multiple choice question with one choice.
Whine: Yes, he was a great guy with Philly but just an average coach.
http://www.aerialservices.org/
Wow, the “Tank” just got trucked by little #32. What a joke!
The 49ers are playing baby football.
49reasons remind me again how highly rated our DBs are?
Perfect timing again.
The only thing that can make this a good day is a cowboy loss
Right now the Niners seem to be cursed with burnt potato Chip. Looks bad, smells bad, and tastes even worse. Plus there is a big bag of Chips still sitting in front of us, all just as badly burnt.
Chip = cow turd
Pull Gabbert already. Try Kap, if that doesn’t work, but Bell in.
November 6th, Farmers Almanac….
Kaepernick!Kaepernick! Kaepernick!
Boykin and Brissett undrafted and apparently not good enough to get a training camp invite on our mighty squad. Prescott goes in r4 after we take Robinson who can’t get beat out Reasor on the worse secondary in the league. Meanwhile Baalke drafts Driskel who gets cut in training camp. And he still has a job…unreal.
Gabbert’s a real nowhere man….
Isn’t he a bit like you and me….
Send out the CRAPPER so Seattle can put him out.
With fans like Darren, the 49ers don’t need the Seahawks….
So how many questions into the press conference is it before Chip gets a question about who the QB is next week?
I’ll bet it’s the very first one!
The Rams looked better than us when we blew them out.
And I’m paying EUR 200 a season to watch that crap. That is, the Niners.Where can I put in for a refund?
Putinontheritzz@goodell.dumbass
:-) Somebody is on fire.
There are 31 other teams to watch on EUR 200.
Sure, but I get most of them on free TV or on my Sky sub.
So Seattle’s back up QB looks better than Gabbert.
Seb’s Auntie Ebb looks better than Gabbert!
:-) Sad but true.
I wonder how he’d look with our roster and coaches against the Seattle defense?
Are the Niners the worst team in the NFL? If not who is worst?
My biggest concern is they are getting worse instead of better.
Again, why is Reaser on this roster? He should have been cut during preseason…
Reaser is the least of this teams worries….
He’s part of the toxicness at 4949… He was getting burnt all preseason and then made the roster injured. Another one of Baalke’s jems…
Over these many years that I’ve been watching the NFL it’s become evident to me that my beer doesn’t taste as good when the Niners are on this end of a 30-3 score.
As you were.
Or this score.
Maybe you should graduate to harder stuff :) This would probably be a good game to do that.
After the first quarter, I went the other way and diluted my beer to shandy.
What’s on tap, Brotha?
Longboard today. It’s been hot here, reminded me of de Islands.
Cool! Wish I was there with you!
I’m drinking some Amstel Light because, well it’s all I have, along with a Stink Bomb I just harvested….
….took me a minute…..
Jed York doesn’t own this team, the Seahawks do.
Why do we even bother to play the game when it is in Seattle? The team never shows up to play. I’d be fine if they just forfeited the game and spent more time preparing for the following game.
You’re right, forfeit would’ve been nice. thank God CBS was allowed to put on Colts/Chargers.
+8
So when does O’Neil get fired? Game 5 or 6?
Wilson…
I’d fire Gabbert first
That will only solve some of our offensive issues, we still need a defense.
True
The Browns have told a source that they are interested in a trade to re-acquire O’Neill from the 9ers. They’re willing to send two cases of America to Razor to make the trade.
Ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
Chip Kelly=Jim tomsula
Gabbert=Kapernick=neither one can throw 300 yards
49ersD=2015 49ers D
Jed York=Jed York
Now then, Jed, will you finally sell the team and get rid of Kapernick? Either put him in the game where Seattle can do all of us a huge favor and put him out of his misery, or just forfeit your games, and don’t whine 49ers that the NFL is out to get you or the ref. You play your opposition. Least even in losing to NE< Mia gave an effort to their rival. You jsut roll over and play dead!
I’m pretty sure the Seahawks backups could beat the 49ers starters.
Thanks Trent Baalke
This is 10 times worse than last year with Tomsula. Baalke should be fired now without a doubt. How do you not get a QB and a WR to have any semblance of an NFL offense.
Then you spent all those high picks on defense only to have the game over in the 1st quarter.
I’ve always said if you can’t compete within your division and measure yourself up competitively, then you need a new direction.
Nothing has changed from last year. Just a few new faces is all!
I would’ve traded up and got Goff. 49ers blew another local QB that’s going to own us: Rodgers and now Goff.
The guy on the bench behind Keenum?
Behind Mannion
A real machonist….
The 49ers have actually done pretty well against Rogers but I know what you mean.
Well, at least no one is farting into the mics so far. Other than that … and I can’t stand watching BG taking off without the ball trying to sell a QB run option anymore. Nobody is, or ever has, buying it. Who’s got it worse than us? Maybe the Browns, but I’m not so sure, really.
Armstead, Buckner, Harold, and Carradine just don’t look good to me. That’s a lot of draft capital with next to nothing in return. Hopefully O’Neil can figure out a way to turn those guys around.
I agree with you on Tank and Harold. This would have been a good game to see if Rush could play.
Anyone want to admit making 10 win season? This team will have a tough time making 5 wins.
I pegged the season 4 and 12:
Division, 1 or 2 wins
Lose to Dallas, their back up is decent
Lose to Chicago
AFC East, maybe beat Buffalo/Miami
NFC South lucky if you beat Falcons or Saints.
4 win season.
Looks worse from here East.
Even if Chip makes immediate adjustments, I see at most an 8 win season, If they do not change, a 4 win season would be optimistic.
Meanwhile the Eagles are clobbering the Steelers 34 to 3. I’m sure the Eagles fans are ecstatic that Kelly is gone.
Weird afternoon. Cards go down. Panthers go down. Steelers go down. Only thing consistent is Niners effort against squawks.
Did you guys see Brown put Bennett on his back earlier. That was great and that TD that Hyde just run in.
Bittersweet
Flex those muscles, Hyde. Smh.
Damn, my 5-11 season prediction is now looking a bit optimistic. What was I thinking….
A lot of Eagles fans I know are glad to see Kelly gone.
Besides Seattle fans I can think of two others that are laughing right now. Harbaugh and Tomsula.
You will reap what you sow…

So you’re saying we need the same things as last year??? At least we have our OL and DL sorted out. Oh wait, we’re below average there too?
What the Heck did we draft??
This is a truly special defense, allowing two 100+ yard receivers and a 100+ yard rusher in consecutive games after never having done that in the previous 971 games.
I feel bad for Tank… Another year another year out of position.
What do you think his position should be?
4-3 DE.
Fair enough, I meant on a 3-4 defense, but it does seem that we should trade him to a 4-3 team.
After this, the team should hope that the media does nothing but grill Kaepernick on his social justice stance.
I’d make them walk home from Seattle.
They’d probably end up in Boise by Wednesday.
…as confused as this team looks.
The only way we get better, and it will be with Kelly,is to fill this roster with talent. This isn’t a coaching issue, this is a talent issue.
Not sure Prime. I would say it definitely is a coaching issue with regards to O’Neill. But, I know, you were only talking about Kelly.
Yes they were not prepared to play. That’s all on Kelly. The play calling on defense was absolutely on O’Neil.
But the most glaring problem today was there is not one legitimate threat on offense.
Hyde included. What is Kelly suppose to do with Kerley, Patton, Smith? Those guys are all back ups!
I think I’d rather try the other Kelly, from Notre Dame….
Dennis Shaw, but he’s way too savvy to take a 9er gig…
What about the HC from Duke…he says I just want my guys to have fun. I like that attitude. I like Kevin Jones release too.
Agreed. There are college teams with way more depth at wr also gabbert is a joke. No accuracy and loves to check down.
The Eagles had talent last year and he drove them into the ground.
Stay tuned for grades…

Maybe Grant gives himself an F for thinking that the 49es actually had a chance in this game.
Grant thought there would be lots of FGs kicked. Seahawks kicked 3 and the Niners one, so that is a lot.
If chip wouldve just stuck with the run from the beginning hyde wouldve had a huge game…look at his numbers against this stout seahawks defense, not bad at all…playcalling is terrible and gabbert sucks….wideouts dont show up…TE’s r hurt but oline looks great…if the qb is gunna suck this bad, ide rather see it happening by the 12 million dollar a year guy, cmon now.
Hyde got those 4th quarter yards after the DBs backed way off to prevent any long plays. Up until the garbage time, they kept him in check.
The FO really must hate Kaep to keep him from playing when the game was totally out of reach.
Good night all.
Ha. The Rams will now be in first place in our division. Is nothing sacred?
At least that will be the end of “look who they beat…” comments.
It is the head coach!!!!!!!
Bill Belichick couldn’t win with this roster. It is the GM.
It’s all Kaepernick’s fault. He’s distracting the team!!!!
Good thing the stats-quants geniuses in the NFL and the idiot fans that use them religiously, point out that the Hawks have had the worse O-line in football for the past 2-3 years, eh?
Pretty bad when even the coaching staff knows that this team can’t pass effectively. Late in the 4th quarter getting blown out and normally teams abandon the run trying to score more quickly and efficiently via the pass. But not the Niners, the are still running a plodding 1st quarter offense until the end.
The good: It’s over.
The team was not prepaired to play.
Poorly designed passing routs.
Is any one surprised by the run game?
Is any one surprised by the game plan?
The league has Kelly’s number.
It is going to be rough couple of years.
I just saw the 49ers team of the immediate future – it’s not good.
Is it too early to start exploring the next 49ers college QB 1st rd pick?
I suppose its Kaep’s turn and I say that with reluctance, I really think its time to go fishing in the Ponder, you never no what you might catch. I don’t blame the loss on Gabbert but he is not the answer at QB.
Whoever was a back up today, should get an opportunity this week. No one deserves a spot after today’s performance!
The only position that played well, barely, was the offensive line. Barely!
For the Gabbertistas who are trying to make excuses for their guy by saying he was not on the field while Seattle was putting up 37 points need to get a clue. Football is the ultimate team game. When an offense goes 3 and out over and over it is amost impossible for a defense not to get down. After Michel’s big play TD it was crucial for Blaine to pound out a few first downs and get at least a field goal to keep the defense playing with some intensity. Instead, Blaine did what he is so good at doing. Threw for 4 yards when he needed six. The game was pretty much over then and there.
Gabbert sucks. He has to go. What do the 49ers have to lose by playing Kaepernick.
I want a new owner… not going to happen.
I want a new GM…see above.
I want a new coach…See above…
This like having an Edsel and thinking by changing the parts that it is going to be something else when you put it back togther…
Nope, it is still an Edsel!
Cheer up Faithful, we’re only a game out of 1st place!
Not cheered?
They did score 2 TDs, and even got a 2 point play, so they were not totally inept.
There, that is a ray of sunshine amidst the doom and gloom.
Seb, you are kidding, right? They scored in garbage time.
This is the same thing we saw last year and everyone in this site got all happy and excited to see the Niners scored TDs in garbage time…it was meaningless. Niners still lost the game today. Their O=line was overwhelmed, and their D was crushed by an “awful” offensive line.
Chess, I was trying to cheer him up. Niners could have been held to 3 points, but they relaxed on defense.
Seb: :-)
Seb – this would be good time to text SunTsu and him we need a new plan. ☺
Ask him
Sun Tsu recommended that a general should learn from his mistakes so he does not repeat them.
A wise general will not be stubborn and inflexible. He will quickly make assessments and make adjustments. Above all, he would say that a general who sheathes his most powerful weapon is just conceding defeat.
Hold O’Neil accountable.
Hold Chip accountable.
Hold Baalke accountable.
Hold Jed accountable.
Hold Denise accountable.
108 yards and 2 Tds for Hyde… Ya let’s replace him… Lol…. Go Blaine… Take us to the number 1 pick
Garbage time TD’s, be proud!
Be proud of your trash QB you and others have been pumping up. Hyde ran hard all game.. Played by himself… Imagine if he had a decent QB what he could do… I hope Gabbert starts all year.. Gets us closer to Kizer or Watson thank god!
Hyde didn’t do anything until the Seattle starting D was off the field in the 3rd quarter. He was a non-factor, but that was hardly his fault. The D dominated the O-line.
CK=Elite
Welcome back !…we all knew you’d return someday….
Man!! I’m sure glad I don’t fish with you fair-weather fans….
“What are you doing”
Isn’t that what Kelly was saying to Kizer yesterday?
Yeah let’s go get that guy. LMAO!
Yea, I really like Kizer. Much better prospect than Goff, in my humble opinion….
Who cares about Goff? I wasn’t high on him either.
Uh, the Rams. He did go number one to the tune of a princes ransom. Kizer is the most accurate thrower in college football, again my opinion. He worked hard on improving his quarterback mechanics and it has shown this year. He’s big and strong, fast and can spin the football. He’s mastered this offense, which similar to some of things Kelly does….
Oh Hammer you look like a tool now. Almost as bad as last year when you predicted a 10 win season. Kizer when he decides to enter the draft will be a top 5 pick. Your QB who has been a loser his whole professional career is going to exit this team with our GM by seasons end… What a Fing joke!!!!
Cool
I think the Titans will get that No. 1 pick (don’t they have the Rams’ pick? Well, whichever team does will probably get it). The 49ers will probably scratch out 3 or 4 wins and blow any chance for the top pick.
More often than not drafting at #1 is a disaster. I’d much rather have anywhere from 2-8.
Well, I tried my hardest to keep rooting for Gabbert to succeed, but when he goes 1-11 up until garbage time, he should admit that his play is hurting the team.
Chip should stop sheathing a potent weapon, If they are afraid Kaep might get hurt and they will be out his salary, they should fire the people who wrote that contract. (Paraag, Baalke).
Chip went timid, and settled for Field goals instead of going for it. When will he ever learn. I must admit I saw a draw play, so he is getting innovative. I did see a man in motion, but if they keep throwing short of the sticks, they will keep on losing.
Chip needs to make honest assessments, and make the necessary adjustments. He should not wait until it is too late. It is still early, so the season is not lost, yet. Chip needs to lead, and he needs to go bold. Shake things up. Nobody should be guaranteed a starting job, especially after the last 2 games.
Gabbert would do the classy thing if he went to Chip, and allowed Kaep to compete for the job that he lost due to injury. Chip should promise Gabbert playing time, as a classy reciprocal gesture, and Kaep would be happy to at least get some snaps.
Cant wait for Grants’ grades. Bet the Coaches get an F.
I just remembered that Jerry Rice said that he hated watching this offense. +1,000,000 Jerry.
Once again the 49ers blindful thought we were going to win …….. I laughed at how you idiots thought that we had a good team …. you idiots thought our defense was good, that we had so many young players coming up but the only reason they looked good in OTA’s and practice is because they play against our sorry ass offense and vice versa…. We never had good receivers and you guys actually thought that Smith,Patton, Anderson and Smelter were good … when you trade for a receiver and a week later he becomes your leading receiver that tells you everything about your receiving corps… our front 7 can’t put pressure on the QB and without a pass rush you secondary is vulnerable…….like i said from the begining its going to be a long and ugly season ….
Chill out. Personally, I had this team down for 5 wins this year but to not even show up today against a division rival was inexcusable… If you’re going to suck at least give some effort. That was badly missing and sums up this whole org pretty accurately.
Its OK. I said it would be a dog fight, only I did not know the Niners would bring poodles against pit bulls.
I would have been ecstatic with a one point win, so I was not deliriously out of it, but did not expect the effortless way they surgically dismantled the defense.
I will still root for the Niners to win, you can root for them to lose. Some like you may want the Niners to be rewarded with a high draft pick. I want them to pick last.
THIS IS CRAP UP WITH WHICH I WILL NOT PUT!
Laugh it up Kami. This coaching staff is almost as bad as last year. Since you are obviously a football genius, would you bless us with your take on how to improve the team or are you too busy taking your victory lap.
I doubt it. First he has to figure out if it’s “your” team, or “our” team.
“Jed …Sell the team to Larry Ellison”
That should be the next banner to
fly over Levi’s
I can see it now MW , Larry Ellison walks out to greet the greatful fans through the Levi’s fly.
That’s great .. Whine … but..
it would be better than The Jedster constantly
peaking out from behind the back pocket !
I agree, but the banner should be directed at Denise. She was embarrassed by the banners last year and she has all the power. Ellisons’ first move should be to hire Eddie D as president.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWqKiqTfXuA
Someone has to say it … Tomsula may not have been as bad as people thought … let’s see the 49ers top his win total in the next few years first ….
I have to disagree. Tomsula was the worst coach of all time. Chip is second worst.
Some thoughts…
– exact rerun of the start of last season, all the way down to the game three Demoralizer.
– we don’t have receivers.
– Blain Gabbert has never been a good pro quarterback. He may become one some day, but until now he has never been actually good.
– O’Neil did a Mangini immitation of last season’s game vs Seattle.
– the 49ers are the easiest team in the NFL to prepare for. Stop the run, stop the 49ers.
– before the game I wrote the 49ers biggest needs were (in any order) QB, Edge Rusher, Receiver. Add MLB to that list.
– we are not out of the running for Myles Garrett.
Why is my icon different? I liked having a triangular shaped head. Chicks dig dudes with triangular shaped heads.
Kizer
I promise to view some breakdowns of Kizer… soon.
My extremely modest goals for this season were five wins, improved execution, established quarterback. That would provide the draft flexibility to get an edge rusher or stud receiver.
I might not get any of these.
I’d draft Kizer and then find a way to get Carl Lawson. Add Jamie Collins and Jeffery in Free Agency….
Same players for the most part, same results.
Can’t stop the run or pass on the road and can’t formulate any threat on offense in the run or pass game.
Not sure how this is on Kelly. I mean it’s still early in the season to blame one thing but right now when you look at the talent level on the Panthers and Seahawks compared to the 49ers, it’s not even close.
The team isn’t physical enough. At least with Harbaugh, you knew they had callouses all over their bodies….
“The team isn’t physical enough”…
This is my biggest concern of Chip’s team. From college to Pro, his team has always played soft. It might have won him some games in the NFC East but not in this division.
And any time a team wants to move the sticks against us, just throw in an area covered by ILBs. I think we’re going to miss Ray Ray.
Jamie Collins would be one of my prime Free Agency targets next year….
razor
OK Razor …just who the hell is Jamie Collins…? This is about the sixtyh time you’ve brought up his name….
Arguably the best LB in the NFL, and a physical freak. Plays for the Patriots.
If he’s available at the end of the season he’d be an outstanding signing. But highly doubt he’d agree to come to the 49ers unless they offered him the deal of the century… though the 49ers will certainly have the cap space to do just that!
Helicopter ride would do it!
