SANTA CLARA — This is the live blog for the 49ers’ Week 16 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. I will update this frequently with information and analysis from the press box.
12:54 Here are the 49ers inactives:
- DL Aaron Lynch
- DL Leger Douzable
- DL D.J. Jones
- LB Pita Taumoepenu
- DB Antone Exum
- DB Greg Mabin
- WR Max McCaffrey
1:03 The Jaguars win the toss and defer. The 49ers will receive the opening kickoff.
1:11 On first-and-goal from the one-yard line, Jimmy Garoppolo sneaks forward for a touchdown. The 49ers lead 7-0. Garoppolo completed five of six pass attempts for 75 yards on that drive, and he converted two third downs. He took a big shot on his first pass attempt, but after that he made the Jaguars pass defense seem ordinary.
1:13 Garoppolo still is tipping plays. He doesn’t scan the secondary before the snap when Kyle Shanahan calls a run. The 49ers running backs ran three times for three yards on the opening drive.
1:15 That touchdown drive was the 49ers’ first touchdown drive to start a game this season.
1:17 The Jaguars go three-and-out. Eric Reid stopped Leonard Fournette for a one-yard loss on first down, and Blake Bortles threw incomplete passes on second down and third down.
1:19 The Jaguars have to be in shock. Those first two series couldn’t have gone any worse for them.
1:15 On third-and-four from the Jaguars nine-yard line, Calais Campbell knocks down Garoppolo’s pass at the line of scrimmage. On fourth down, Robbie Gould makes a 27-yard field goal. The 49ers lead 10-0.
1:28 Shanahan has called two bootleg passes, both to Garoppolo’s left, and Garoppolo has completed both passes for 38 yards. In the past, Shanahan typically would call bootlegs to the QB’s right. Good adjustment.
1:33 On third-and-nine from the 49ers 40-yard line, Blake Bortles throws a pass to the 49ers free safety Adrian Colbert, who drops the interception. The 49ers will get the ball at their 20-yard line after the punt.
1:39 On first-and-10 from the 49ers 38, Matt Breida runs up the middle for six yards. The 49ers will face second-and-four from their 44 when the second quarter starts.
1:44 On third-and-1 from the 49ers 47, Carlos Hyde runs up the middle and gains no yards. The 49ers punt.
1:52 On second-and-18 from the Jaguars 44, Blake Bortles throws a pick-six. Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole tipped the ball to Dontae Johnson who returned the interception 50 yards for the score.
1:53 The Jaguars blocked the extra point, recovered the ball and ran it into the end zone. That’s two points for Jacksonville. The 49ers lead 16-2.
2:11 On second-and-5 from the 49ers 20, Bortles throws a 19-yard pass to Dede Westbrook. Next play, Leonard Fournette runs up the middle and scores for one yard out. The Jaguars trail 16-9.
2:27 On third-and-goal from the eight, Jaguars strong safety Barry Church intercepts Garoppolo in the end zone. Yannick Ngakoue hit Garoppolo while he was releasing the ball. Bad decision by Garoppolo. Can’t throw interceptions in the red zone.
2:35 On first-and-goal from the five, Bortles throws a touchdown pass to Jaelen Strong. The pass bounced off Leonard Fournette’s hands. With 10 seconds left in the first half, the Jaguars have tied the 49ers at 16.
2:37 Garoppolo takes a knee. Halftime. The Jaguars will get the ball to start the second half.
2:39 Garoppolo’s first-half quarterback rating was 78.2.
2:56 Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo makes a 45-yard field goal, and the Jaguars lead 19-16. Cornerback Tyvis Powell gave up a 32-yard catch to Keelan Cole during the drive. Powell replaced Dontae Johnson, whom the 49ers benched during the second quarter. Powell isn’t much better.
3:02 On third-and-8 from the 49ers 27, Yannick Ngakoue beats right guard Brandon Fusco and sacks Garoppolo for a four-yard loss. The Jaguars have dominated this game since they blocked Gould’s extra point.
3:06 On third-and-7 from the Jaguars 35, K’Waun Williams intercepts Bortles with one hand, and returns the ball to the Jaguars 26. What a play.
3:10 On third-and-4 from the Jaguars 9, Garoppolo throws a touchdown pass to George Kittle. The 49ers lead 23-19.
3:19 On third-and-8 from the 49ers 42, Bortles throws a screen pass behind T.J. Yeldon, and the pass falls incomplete. The Jaguars don’t know how to handle success.
3:27 On first-and-10 from the Jaguars 40, Carlos Hyde runs around the left end for a 10-yard gain. The 49ers will face first-and-10 from the Jaguars 30 when the fourth quarter begins.
3:36 On third-and-goal from the five, Garoppolo rolls to his left and flicks a five-yard touchdown pass to Trent Taylor. Beautiful. The 49ers lead 30-19 with 10:39 left.
3:37 The Jaguars committed 37 yards worth of penalties during that drive.
3:40 Ahkello Witherspoon intercepts Bortles on the first play of the Jaguars drive. Bortles threw that pass right to Witherspoon. The Niners havde the ball at the Jaguars 18.
3:43 On first-and-goal from the six, Carlos Hyde runs into the end zone easily. The 49ers lead 37-19. The Jaguars have quit.
3:50 The Jags go three-and-out.
3:54 Now the Niners go three-and-out, but it doesn’t matter. This game is over. Very impressive performance by the Niners.
4:08 On second-and-goal from the one-yard line, T.J. Yeldon runs into the end zone. It seems the Jaguars benched Leonard Fournette.
4:09 The Jaguars go for the two-point conversion. Bortles rolls left and throws a short pass to tight end Ben Koyack. The two-point conversion is good. The officials review the play and confirm their initial ruling. The 49ers lead 37-27.
4:12 Hyde lets the onside kick fly through his hands, and the Jaguars recover. They have the ball at the 49ers 46 with 2:13 left.
4:19 With 1:50 left, Eric Reid gives up an eight-yard touchdown catch to tight end James O’Shaughnessy. But the Jaguars miss the extra point. They trail 37-33.
4:20 The onside kick bounces out of bounds. The Niners get the ball at their 49.
4:25 On third-and-8 from the Jaguars 30, Garoppolo pitches the ball to Breida, who runs 30 yards untouched for the touchdown. The 49ers lead 44-33.
4:31 The 49ers win. Stay tuned for my game story, post-game periscope and grades.
Best of luck to my Niners!
Okay Niners you got this.
Let’s go Jimmy G!!!!
Garret, FWIW, has all of five sacks. And he was considered a ‘generational talent’ and only a tiny handful of us had any skepticism about him (and that was about effort, not talent). As I’ve said many times, it’s rare for rookies to do well as pass-rushers. Very few have enough technique to beat NFL tackles and usually takes a couple of years, Joey Bosa and Aldon Smith not-withstanding, for most of them to get up to NFL speed.
So crapping on them and acting like they’re so-so players… Yeah. Says more about premature fan evaluation than the player at this point.
Anyway, in couple of years we should a good idea. Premature evaluations or not.
Goodwin off to a good start!
Nice play calling by KS.
Touchdown!!!!!
Nice opening drive!
Very impressive!
Earl Mitchel playing fullback
Jimmy G shows Jags aRE OVERRATED.
First opening drive TD the Jaguars have given all year. Let’s get the bronze ready for Canton.
EDIT: That went back to last year. That makes 22 games they held that streak.
jIMMY mONTANA!
Ok defense, your turn!
Nice drive.
100% in the RZ against the #1 ranked defense.
Jimmy got game!!!!!!!!!
vs anyone!!!!!….anyone!!!!!
Great opening drive.
Our OL looks great with Jimmy G!
Da Jimmy G! And the connection to Goodwin working early.
It’s Xmas day here in Australia – Merry Xmas everyone! Go 9ers!
Merry Christmas Scooter!
I guess the detractors were right. Jimmy G is wilting under the mighty Jacksonville defense.
Wow nice drive!
told you not to take the 49ers lightly…..we are winning this game…..
Quick decision +quick release = kryptonite to a good defense
Very good indeed!
The board is puking.
It is…. My posts are scrambled–beyond what they usually are.
Very good!
Gotta savor this…
Imagine of Garoppolo had high-quality WRs. Or that Shanahan knew how to coach… ;)
Jags overrated on defense.
It took a whole minute to load this page. Anyone else having trouble with the site?
Try five minutes for me.
Same here. Page loading slow today.
Yes… The board is running on an IBM 286 with dial-up.
yup
yep
It’s cleared up.
Grant’s disparagement of Jimmy G. must now end.
ZD , shannny getting better and so are receivers
I think it’s just the players. Plus a real QB. Complex offenses take time to learn.
Do not underestimate Shannys system. It makes everyone look better once it’ s functioning. It just takes a while for the players to get comfortable. Of course you have to still have the right players to execute. And JG is a big difference maker.
hugs dear crabs.
Allie I want to jump your bones. Come over honey ?
Fantastic mix of plays called by Lil Shanny so far.
Good opening stanza.
So much for my prediction about not getting chunk plays this week…
Need a pick here
Colbert ..what a gem of a 7th round choice.
Good pressure by Foster.
Right place but he’s gotta finish an easy interception like that.
Yup. I wonder if his thumb is still hurting.
It’s still broken! It’ll be broken for the rest of the season.
I take it’s a given that they are not going to switch Colbert to Wr.
keep the offensive pressure up///
Yup, good QB makes everyone look better including a fresh defense
Bourne ultimatum
Talk about threading the needle! Wow.
Damn, JG can thread that ball
Holy ****!
I thought that was going to be a pick-6. Instead a nice gain and a 1st down.
Great concentration by Bourne as well.
That pass was on the money!
Seb,
That’s what a “jaw dropping throw” looks like.
Exactly.
That pass to Bourne really shows the difference a split second a few inches make.
Any info on the crowd at Levis?
tomlinson on his back
SAints are in. They whooped the Falcons 23-13.
blown opportunity at midfield
forget running at calais…
blown call
Carlos Hyde is slow and has zero vision
He has run hard the last few games. I think it was because he was being careful not to be injured early in the season. He was trying to show he could complete a season without injury. Now he doesn’t care and is actually attempting to break tackles. I think that only when he runs hard is he injury prone. Which is another good reason not to contract him.
Gee! which team looks like the playoff team.
I predicted a pick 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unbelievable. Woohoo!!!!
Wow, can’t believe this is the same team from the beginning of the season. JG is the real deal. Also Saleh may have a great read on his old team as well.
I hope Marathe is putting the finishing touches on that contract, so that JG can sign it when he steps out of the shower :)
Bortles showing his true colors
Bortles showing what he is and always was.
WTG
plAYER RECOVERING WAS OFF SIDES
Beautiful, except for the poor blocking on the extra point.
This is reminding of the 1981 regular season game against the Cowboys, when the Niners showed they were for real. This team is not that good, but they are better than their record.
Blake Bortles just remembered he’s BLAKE BORTLES
If every Jags possession ends with the 49ers giving up 2 pts on a failed extra point I’ll be happy.
Jax players fighting each other, can’t handle pressure
What is with the Jag’s tussling on the sideline?
Dontae reminding who he really is too with back to back penalties
The Inner Denny Green: He is what what we thought he is!
another unnecessary penalty by Johnson.
Okay, there’s the defensive TD I was thinking of. Unfortunate the XP was botched.
Fumble???
WTF! Total surprise. Will probably get reversed.
And it was~
If only we had a legitimate cb.
While I wish it’s a fumble, it’s looking like a pass.
That’ll be overturned.
Don’t think this call will stand, but good pressure.
a glimmer of a pass rush
Donte Johnson Titans game MVP last week. Looking like Jags MVP today.
I think his weakness is between his ears.
Yeah, Donte converted 2 third downs for them on their scoring drive
Rueben making ’em pay
need a pick here. So few forced picks this year
They will go after Donte all day. Mabin is down.
That pass was a touchdown.
Shaping up to be a slug fist.
Niners need to go for it on 4th downs..the season is over..just go for it!
Let me lick that honey ? pot dear Allie
hey..I am a nice girl..University High School Pacific Heights!
don’t we have anybody that can replace Johnson. ANYBODY
Mabin was decent but now hurt
Jimmy G..keep throwing..forget Hyde
What a well executed play by JG.
The Jags have not finished painting their helmets. The front has nothing but primer.
Lol
need 7 here
Nice run by Brieda. Also now we know why they picked up Alphabet.
Good running by Breida.
He seldom gets much space to run in and when he does he makes the most of the opportunity.
Can this offense be stopped?
Yep – just let it get to the RZ :-P
Jimmy G can hit from anywhere..FA’s dying to play for the Niners next year!
WR will pay the Niners to play with Jimmy.
Red Zone-issue?
Gotta get Donte Johnson out of there , he’s about as bad as I’ve seen , anyone else can’t be worse
Get Hyde off the field…geesh
He is just very inconsistent. The team can do better for less money.
First recorded Butt interception in NFL history:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nflvideos/cant-miss-play-football-sticks-to-marshon-lattimores-leg-for-unreal-pick/vi-BBHfUE7
Butt was it validated on instant replay.
Trade Hyde please..we can get a better, tougher runner
He is a free agent. The only choice the team has is to resign him or not. I sort of equate him with Patterson. He was a bright spot during a dark time for this team and that is why the fans love him.But objectively he is not really that special anymore.
Since he’s a free agent in a game and a half that would be a tough trade.
I’ll go with Chuck Norris…
Hyde goes down easy
Hyde is, literally, one of the best YAC backs in the NFL and has been for years. There are things to criticize him about, your trolling one of his strengths is pathetic.
Most teams do not use their backs on passes as much as the Niners do. Until the last four games he has not run hard at all. I stick by what I say about Hyde. Just because some of you have a love affair with him does not mean he should be immune to objective criticism. I am not saying he is a bad back or does not have good qualities or strengths, just that in this system he would not be worth resigning. His negatives ( and that would include his resigning cost ) exceed his positives that he brings to this team.
He would excel in YAC because he is a really good runner in the open field. He excels in breaking tackles from the side but his upright style and high center of gravity is a handy cap when he meets defenders straight on. The problem with him as a receiver is that he is an inconsistent. I am not a Troll. I am just objective unlike some of you fans who still see the player who ran like a maniac during his first season.
I am also mostly reacting to the posters who early this season called him the 49ers best offensive player. They made ridiculous statements like wanting Shanahan to adjust his system to take advantage of Hydes strengths. That was totally absurd. Those fans were totally clueless in what Shanahan and Lynch were attempting to do here. Hyde is not at the level where a coach is going to build their offense around him. Besides when he runs hard he is accident prone.
Oh Moses— I just realized you were not responding to me. Well as Emily Latella of the old Sat. Night Live would say, Never Mind. Well at least it gave me an opportunity to explain my perspective on Hyde.
Allie is right. Hyde does go down easy sometimes. Part of that is because he lost strength losing weight to increase his quickness to suit this sytem.
I want him out..he does not run hard except for at the beginning of the game.
Trent Taylor comes up money again.
No push from the o-line.
Breida is betetr and was not even drafted.
His strengths suit Shanahans system. I suspect that there might be more RB’s that suit the system that would be rejected by other coaches. I think they can find quite a few RB that would do well in this system lower in the draft, and in free agency.
Big moment here. We need to finish this drive with a TD and keep Jacksonville from scoring at the end of the half.
OL gives up an interecption
S***t!
Geez
terrible that we got no score
No problem. These things happen.
Jimmy had his arm hit as he threw..Beadles could not block
Maybe they should make Thomas wear bigger pads.
Momentum and luck have shifted. Good thing it’s halftime to break this.
Luck is luck.-
Geezz
Foster in the tent again.
He’ll be fine. They probably keep some Cinnamon Toast Crunch in the tent for him.
Ha!
DOWN GOES FOSTER! DOWN GOES FOSTER!!!
Bring Jimmy Graham in as a FA next year and our RZ TD percentage goes way up.
Absolutely. Graham just scored his tenth RZ TD of the year today.
Alright I’m sold. Regardless of who wins this game, Jimmy G is the man. This is a great defense and the 49ers have moved the ball with ease. I am so so so happy we have a glorified offensive coordinator for a grad coach. Am I right or what, Grant?
49ers dominated most of that half but doesn’t show on the scoreboard because they continue to struggle in the red zone and the D continues to give up plays in key moments.
But man, given the quality of D they are playing, very impressed with the offense.
that drive was absolutely disgusting ,you give up a turn over then allow the other team to drive the length of the field to tie the score. unacceptable
I’m still not on the Saleh bandwagon. But KS has apparently said he’ll be back, so….
Me either, they struggle making a stop at key times and take alot of penalties
That 2 point run back will loom large.
True. It could be the difference in 3 draft spots.
For all the talk about need on oline and receiver, this 49ers defense really needs better players. They’re just terrible.
The defense is as bad as its weakest link, and the 49ers weakest links are pretty weak – CBs and pass rush. But there is a solid foundation of players to work with.
True Scooter. They need a CB and a couple pass rushers. Plus the D is the group that’s been hit hardest by injury this season.
They aren’t bad in base, but when they go to nickel it’s like a 7-on-7 drill because there’s no pressure.
It’s half a defense.
Agree. Edge Rusher, LB, CB, and S
Terrible in that they are holding Jags rushing 100 yards under their season average?
Yes while also allowing 6+ over their scoring average
The big turnaround was the blown extra point. It turned the whole game around. We have to remember how bad our db’s are.
we need a tall, big strong TE next year. Baalke could never figure that out
He thought he had him in McDonald but didn’t see the red flag- a college wide receiver with bad hands. That was one of Trents problems. He seemed to ignore red flags always believing his best case scenario perspectives. That was why he wiffed so bad on JJ Jenkins. He had a strength issue red flag that Trent ignored.
Grant got it wrong: Jimmy threw the TD strike but his arm was hit just as he threw as Beadles was beaten.
Comment of the year.
well..Ryan saw it too!
would have been a TD if his arm was not hit
You mean that beats my comment about kicker’s butt cracks are “down the middle”?
Yeah, that was unfortunate. But he threw it late. Should have thrown a little earlier and trusted Bourne to get open.
ok…
If they win fine but if they lose- so what. It helps them in the draft.
And that has what exactly to do with whether it was a bad play by JG or not?
Look for the 49ers to go vertical.
Off sides by Jags on that blocked kick..blown call
Wow our defense has disappeared
Goshh,….no pass rush at all..no pressure
Big third down. They need to stop them.
I look for Tank to have a big half.
Buckner needs help on the DL..they triple team him.
running game bottled up
We are just short of players…York did not spend much money and he never restocked this team.
Wow!
Yeah!! Momentum shift coming.
That was a nice interception reception. They might think about converting him to WR. lol.
Breida showing up Hyde and he is undrafted!
alright
Nice pick!
jimmy a little off now
Ball was tipped again.
kitttleeeeeeeeeee
Yeah red zone winner.
Nice effort by Kittle up the middle.
Grant furious as he can’t disparage our Jimmy for a few more minutes.
TD!!!!!!!
Need to stop Jags on the next drive, then go down and score again so we can watch Jags shove each other on the sidelines again
Sign JG to a long-term contract already! Just get it done!
JG almost had a TD to Goodwin a couple plays before that too but ball was tipped. Also had a pass tipped earlier in the first qtr in the red zone. Outside of the pick where he held the ball a tad too long, JG has been decent in the RZ today.
might become an offensive duel now
fans getting energized again
need another pick
Defense getting stout.
Jacksonville acting like a rebuilding team.
god we need a pass rush
I am thinking that Robinson made Johnson look better in comparison. Now that the focus is off Robinson Johnson looks really bad.
Jags missing the boat by not attacking the secondary.
Jags just did a Hyde drop
Watch for play action long ball.
Is Robinson still in the NFL?
Good defensive stand.
Niners do need a great pass rusher, that would change a lot.
DB need a total redo in the offseason. Witherspoon looks like a keeper though.
Colbert is excellent, so far.
Taunting
Jags are not going far in the playoffs…no real experience winning in the big time yet
I think so too. They also lose composure easily when things aren’t going their way.
yup
Character shows when things are not going well.
I don’t think the Jag’s defense is tiring.
Huge penalty.
:-)
Think of all the niners on IR who could help.
Stupid Jacksonville players are ticked that they are getting their butts whipped.
Ooh. Kitties getting chippy. Meow.
Jags D showing frustration?
“Hey, Carlos heads up I’m going to push you over.”
Jags are immaTURE
jIMMY COOL LIKE jOE!
Don’t know about not handling success, but the Jags can’t handle being in a tight game against a team they are “meant” to beat.
Jags look done
Jimmy can throw all day with accuracy..he needs a little more time from his OL
Jags D isn’t giving up much, but Jimmy’s finding whatever they do give up
Seems like Hyde always needs 3 quarters to find a rhythm.
Taylor has grown so much as a WR.
noooooooo fumble
Jag’s reverse jet lagged. Time for bed.
Boy they dodged a bullet on that. Questionable.
Quick whistle. We’ve been burnt on the other side of that issue. So I’ll take it.
Dodged a bullet on that fumble.
Wow Jags getting penalties like niners
Jags done
Forward progress. Shades of 2011 NFCC game.
Jags are coming apart at the seams.
need 7
good teams get good calls ;)
yes!
Could you see Kaep running this offense-man.
No. I couldn’t see him running anything more complex than sand-lot football. Which is, pretty much, what he did.
LOL.
You run the Jaz on those plays.
What a great throw by Jimmy G.!!!!!!!! Actually, maybe even a better catch by TT.
That was a veteran play by JG.
What a flicking pass.
Damn, Jimmy has a Montana look under pressure, for sure
Taylor!
JIMMY G!!!!!!!
There ya go yuppers
Oooh yeah! Great catch Taylor!
As much as I wanted them to position for the draft this season, I don’t care anymore if the do not lose.
Jimmy Grapes bringing the redzone game today.
Ok lets put that he can’t score in the redzone crap away for good.
Yes but can he do it against a playoff team” Oh wait!
+111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Franchise. Quarterback.
Special teams doesn’t get enough credit.
Can you spell ” Blow Out”.
JimmyG is the Man
Another pick……told y’all we were going to beat the jags
Witherspoon!!!!!
Ok lets put the whole he can’t score in the RZ crap to rest.
Can we start this season over again? Holy Cr_p!
Starting with Seattle
I wish. You think about those 5 close losses… We could have 10 wins if we had Jimmy G from the beginning.
And now putting them away. This team is growing up before our eyes ladies and gentlemen! And it is still a team with a lot of weaknesses.
It’s exciting, isn’t it, Scooter? We’re back baby!
WOW just WOW
Grant furious with his bad prediction. And his silly analysis of Jimmy. Jags have no running game today so load up on pass defense. Bortlkes is still Bortles.
Grant furious with his bad prediction. And his silly analysis of Jimmy. Jags have no running game today so load up on pass defense. Jags won’t do well in playoffs. They had an easy schedule this year
Niners take it as we predicted.
I am happy to see the team get back to running between the tackles.
You can do that every now and then as a change up.
Can you imagine what the Patriot fans are thinking right now.
Jags defense is not that impressive.
Allie,
Or is the 9ers O just that good?
You know she’s just going to **** on the team anyway she can. Never mind the Jaguars are the #1 defense in the NFL.
NE will clean the jags easily
slow drive chewing up time…
Shanahan and Garoppolo are putting on a clinic today. This is exactly how you work the “Seahawks” D.
Jimmy surgically neutered the Jaggywires today!
This is freakin awesome! Merry Christmas and go Niners!
Fans should start a Jimmy G chant. Let him know that this is his home.
Fournette not impressive. Load up on the pass defense
I’m thinking we’ll hear from Sebbie in a little while…
Leeeeeeeeeeeee
Jag’s need 3 scores.
Grant: “if you take away the big plays…”
Jags look bad, helpless..they look like the old Jags.
Take out a 2nd mortgage on Levi’s, launder some Russian money, do whatever you have to do. Sign this guy now!
Come on. That’s a TD.
This is a really bad officiating crew.
They are just covering their own rears. He even changed hands on that play. Should have been a fumble.
Exactly.
another bad call
What kind of monkey ****!!! Is that?
Replay sucks no matter how the review goes!!
Oh no prevent defense.
These catch rules are driving me crazy. NFL please fix it!
prevent D
Is Eli Harold playing?
Jimmy G plays with passion and coolness and that’s enable the offense to play with some swagger. And they really don’t have any scary WRs, kinda like NE. The Defense has holes but has alot more blue chip players. Man who would have thunk this team might actually be really good next year? it’s going to be LA and SF for the NFC West next year.
Fournette — 18 carries, 44 yards.
Run D has been good today
Is Foster playing?
Good stand.
Let’s end this thing!
I am impressed with the 49ers crispness and execution.
Where is Ruben Foster ?Is he fricking hurt again?
Took them 4 minutes and 13 seconds to get that TD. That’s why you prevent defense.
that’s why you don’t prevent defense
SIgh. Tell Bill Walsh. Tell Bill Belichick. Tell Bill Parcells. I’ll the word of the Three Bills, all of whom are (or will be) HOF coaches.
Hyde is part of the ‘hands team’ for an onside kick?
Has Foster been back in the game since he “blue-tented”?
No..I don’t even know what happened..we might have to draft a on high..Foster is not going to hold up
Foster missed 1 play.
Botched by Hyde?
scary
A character builder…what fun…
Looks like he was hit as the ball got there..
Jag’s have an opportunity to win this.
need a fumble or pick
as I predicted, this has been a offense shootout
Lets hope Hyde is off the hands team.
this defense needs a lot of work
especially when you’re carved up by Blake Bortles
Jags are bullies..getting tagged.
Cool!
cant beat stupidity
Jags are mentally unglued, hope they don’t seriously cheapshot a Niner
Will Hyde fumble?
That’s the way you do it!
It IS a Christmas Miracle.
Brieda just ices the game.
Yes!!!!!
This game could occupy a special place in 9er lore.
That seems like a lot of points for any team under any circumstances.
SHOW HIM THE MONEY!!! SHOW HIM THE MONEY!!!
Game is clearly over, you’d think Jags would just take a knee and end it rather than risk more injuries
Saleh needs to get the end of the game defense fixed.
We should have 51 points, got screwed on the fumble return.
agree
Now let us go beat the Rams!
Jaguars go 1-3 against the NFC West this year
jags in an easy conference
And a weak division.
Wow just wow
A treat for Christmas Eve!
My game prediction was only off by four scores
The 49ers showed incredible discipline today and that comes from coaching, great job by KS he is no longer glorified OC.
Yes! I was deeply concerned that KS would never grow beyond being a glorified OC.
Does this mean the Niners move ahead of the Jags in the weekly power rankings?
GRADES:
Defense= A
Offense =A
OL = B+
Jimmy = A+ (Don’t sandbag him, Grant … you know he deserves it !)
Niners just spanked the Jags !!
And what were … those Vegas odds again …?
(What was the last time you heard the words …
The Niners DOMINATED ..?)
Jimmy G, the real deal!
Christmas came to SF on Halloween with the JG trade.
Halloween came to the Jaguars on Christmas Eve.
Cheers!
The nightmare before Christmas… Garoppolo as Jack Skelington.
Jeff Tripplette as the Mayor!
Nice one, Brotha!
I would never have believed that 1 player could make 21 other players appear to be that much improved.
We beat another playoff team.
The 49ers are for real!
Initially wasn’t a Kyle Shanahan fan but man that offense looks really good with Jimmy G running it. Dudes are running open and you can see how Jimmy G knows exactly where to go when the 1st read is not there. I liked the Harbaugh Niners but he messed it all up when he went with Colin K. This team wit Jimmy G and KS feels like the 2nd coming of the Walsh Niners, doesn’t it? I mean, Breida could be Bill Ring, and maybe Hyde turns into Roger Craig if he can just not drop so many balls. Joe M didn’t have a goto WR for4 years and he won 2 rings!
The Defense just needs a shutdown corner and one mean as heck LB. Foster looks pretty good but needs to add like 15 pounds.
It’s sad the season has to come to an end! What does Greg Cosell say about Jimmy G?
Fansince,
don’t discount Dwight Clark, he would have been a HOFer if not for injuries that shortened his career.
DC is one of my favorite Niners but I don’t think he was a premiere WR like Rice. John Taylor was solid too. I Jimmy G has the IT factor. That side arm TD to Trent Taylor was a great throw. They are only going to be more dangerous next year.
Would have been over-the-top fun if this win had come at the ‘Stick…
John Taylor has very similar stats as Lynn Swann:
Swann: 336 Receptions, 5462 yards and 51 TDs.
Taylor: 347 Receptions, 5598 yards and 43 TDS.
Swann essentially has 8 more career TDs.
Yes, he has the Super Bowl glam, but so does Taylor, catching the winning pass against the Bengals.
Dwight should STILL be a HOFer!
Fan77,
This is a completely different team than what was on the field last year. Time to focus on the future and let go of the past.
Btw, Jacksonville will go to the playoffs but they won’t get to far because we exposed their inability to play as a team when facing adversity.
Next year the 49ers will win the close games they lost this season because they will be well versed in facing adversity as a team.
Yeah, next year can’t come soon enough!
I guess now we can bubble wrap Jimmy G!
Buwjahhaahhah!!!!!!!!!!
Man we should of drafted Trubisky ?….
You having a hard time lettin that go? You forgetting that I advocated for the Jimmy G trade at the draft?
It’s not like I keep reminding you of how much you wanted Kap back?
You want to play that game a hole?
Did they announce the Eshmont today?
I think it comes at the end of this week–Friday or Saturday.
Pay Jimmy! We will win the division next year.
From NFL.COM:
I’ll take raging…
Yes JKV had injuries on offense but the 49ers laid a 40 burger on the best defense in the NFL today.
That is unbelievable!
Next up, the Rams!
37 by the offense
Shantastic!
Although the defense got three turnovers, they were mostly easy ones from Bortles. Defense still gave up over 470 yards and JAX ran 79 plays.
Yeah Cubus. The 4th quarter today was basically the same as the Rams game except the other way around.
Is it lack of talent in the secondary or Saleh’s soft defense or a little bit of both or …….
Johnson is not good, and they don’t get pressure. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel when they go into their pass D. We saw Tennessee do the exact same thing last week.
Minkah Fitzpatrick solves that problem.
So does Jimmie Ward
What are the chances that Ward will ever be healthy enough for a deep playoff run?
I like Ward but his injury history and what he is owed might make him expendable.
Originally not a fan but the 49ers should bring back Eric Reid. Yes Oneniner, I said it.
The Johnson TD-INT wasn’t Bortles. The TE slowed down on the route and short-armed the pass because Reid was coming down the mountain to put a major hit on him.
The Williams INT wasn’t Bortles. The window was open, but Williams made a great recovery and a fantastic leaping play.
The last one was just a bad pass. But Witherspoon was looking for the ball instead of doing what Johnson normally does in those situations which is commit PI.
It was a WR that slowed down on the Johnson interception

#49ers Carlos Hyde: “Minus our record, we’re a really good football team. Next year we’re going to win the Super Bowl.”
A pending free agent, Hyde said: “I feel we’ve got a chance to go the Super Bowl next year and I don’t want to go to another team.”
There is something special being built in SF.
This is an organization that always had a QB. The football Gods punished the 49ers for over a decade but now, we have another great one in Jimmy G.
Prime:
Matt Ryan or Jimmy G? For me, it’s not even close. Jimmy G every time!! I think there’s a very good chance KS and JG will eclipse what KS and MR did.
I sure hope so. Now we can focus on giving him the weapons he needs.
With so much cap space and draft picks, how great is it to be a 49ers fan?
Best Xmas ever now with Jimmy G steering the ship!
Lost in all the well earned 9er hyperbole, is the job Robert Saleh has done! From a lack of talent to all the injuries, he’s earned his bones.

Hopefully, an off-season of rest, conditioning, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch will eliminate his blue-tent issues for next year.
Yup. His ankle will heal too. Foster’s ankle hasn’t been right since Week 1. Foster could be stronger and faster next year.

Lynch post game indicates team looking for CB, Edge, OT (depth). No surprises.
Niners win, but my final score prediction was just a bit off…
I attribute that to the funny-tasting egg nog.
Recall how Sebbie asserted that Shanahan wasn’t interested in winning because he (and Lynch…) wouldn’t bring Kaep back? Seems like ancient history now.
O-line held their own today. Surprised me.
What a game! Best one all year long so far. Hope we dominate the Rams next week.
I do too. What a way to close out the season.
At the start of the 4Q I recall thinking that the Niners had already achieved my game goals for them; play with the big kids. I knew they were in it, but worried about lack of pass rush. Then they got it done.
Jimmy ain’t Mr.GQ, he’s Mr.4Q.
(OK, ok, I know. But we’re partying here a chez nous!)
HoHoHo!
Burp!
Very impressive performance today by the oline Under.
They seem to have gelled knowing how long they have to protect for.
With Jimmy G’s quick release he has taken the pressure. I mean how many times today did Jimmy whip it in there today between 3 guys? This guy is unreal.
Yup Prime he is going to be something special. Can hardly wait for next year.
Give him a couple more weapons like a big bodied WR and look out!
Can’t wait till OTA’s.
Good night and Happy Holiday.
49ers were 10/15 on 3rd down. 44 points against Jacksonville (should have been 51).
Hats and T-shirts game? You can wipe your asses with those shirts. And wear those hats really low to hide the shame on your faces.
Ironic that last year’s 3-13 team that turned it around this year would forget their history and let a 4-10 team that just beat their Division rival sneak up on them.
Containing Fournette was yuge. Some cb play was insufficient, thus the yards given up, but the overall defensive effort was good. We need more and better from the OL, but once again, it was barely enough under Jimmy’s quick read and release leadership.

Johnson was benched for part of the game. I don’t see him coming back. I think the 49ers will have this secondary next year:
RCB: To be obtained or Jimmy Ward
LCB: Whitherspoon
FS: Colbert
SS: Tartt
NB: Williams
Agree, the benching twice in two weeks is telling. Ward and Williams could be competing for slot cb next year. Reid might move on and will find a job. Johnson will find something. Unless they go Malik, prolly going FA and 4/5rd.
I need to see more, but LSU’s “other” cb (Tomlin?) caught my eye. He’s tall and plays like he likes to play. He gets a lot of action because other CB is a high draft prospect. It’s early.
Shout outs to Solomon Thomas and K’Waun Williams for having good games.
Yes I’ll second that. Good to see Solo T make some noise.
Still need to see more but hopefully he can start to turn the corner and become a disruptive force.
K Williams is a silky smooth player. We still need help in the secondary but he was really good today.
Williams’ one-handed INT was a beauty
80,
I agree.
The defense had a nice day. I couldn’t help but think how much better the defense would be if we had a legitimate Edge Rusher.
Five weeks ago we were looking at a complete overhaul for the team, now we may not be as bad as we thought. Our rookies are contributing and the veterans seem to be playing better.
Good times ahead!

Good pressure by Foster and Seems like ancient history now
