- QB C.J. Beathard
- WR Trent Taylor
- WR Jalen Hurd
- FS Jimmie Ward
- CB Jason Verrett
- OL Daniel Brunskill
- TE Kaden Smith
12:05 Nick Bosa, Weston Richburg and K’Waun Williams are active.
12:06 Here are the Buccaneers inactives:

1:01 Final score prediction: 49ers 23, Buccaneers 27.
1:27 The Bucs win the toss and choose to receive. On third down, Chris Godwin drops a pass and the Bucs go three and out.
1:28 Mark Nzeocha blocks the punt and the 49ers recover. Great start by the 49ers’ defense and special teams. They came prepared to play.
1:32 Deebo Samuel and Marquise Goodwin are the starting wide receivers.
1:33 Jimmy Garoppolo throws an eight-yard touchdown pass to George Kittle, but it’s doesn’t count, because Kyle Juszczyk committed a blatant offensive pass interference penalty. You would think a veteran would know you can’t set a pick. Poor execution in the red zone. Two plays later, the 49ers kick a field goal, and take a 3-0 lead.
1:47 On third and 12 from the 49ers 48, Kwon Alexander drops an interception. Jameis Winston threw the ball right to him. The Bucs punt, and Richie James Jr. makes a fair catch at the nine-yard line.
1:48 Richard Sherman committed pass interference and a holding penalty during the drive. Ahkello Witherspoon broke up a pass intended for Mike Evans over the middle.
1:53 On third and one, Ndamukong Suh tackles Tevin Coleman for a one-yard loss, and the 49ers go three-and-out. The 49ers ran an inside-zone play, but generated no push at the point of attack.
2:04 The 49ers committed 46 yards of penalties in the first quarter. Sloppy.
2:05 The refs ejected Kwon Alexander for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Winston.
2:13 On third and goal from the 19, Winston checks down to O.J. Howard, and Fred Warner strips the ball from him. The 49ers recover at the SF eight-yard line.
2:14 Buccaneers right tackle Demar Dotson nullified two touchdown passes during that drive with holding penalties. Both teams have been sloppy so far.
2:15 Earlier in the drive, Dee Ford stripped the ball from Winston, and the Bucs recovered. Also, Nick Bosa had a free shot on Winston in the backfield and whiffed.
2:20 On second and 19 from the 49ers 11-yard line, Garoppolo throws a pick six, and the 49ers trail 7-3. Garoppolo floated a pass off his back foot toward the sideline. How many times have we seen him make that mistake? When will he ever learn?
2:36 On third and 13 from the Bucs 17-yard line, Garoppolo throws into double coverage and the pass falls incomplete. Gould kicks a 36-yard field goal, and the 49ers trail 7-6.
2:37 Holding penalties by Mike McGlinchey and Richie James nullified two touchdowns in the red zone. So far, the 49ers have nullified three of their own touchdowns.
2:39 First play of Tampa’s series, Winston throws to Howard who tips the ball to Nzeocha for the interception. Ha ha ha ha ha.
2:46 On third and 17 from the Bucs 27-yard line, Deebo Samuel catches a screen pass and fumbles. The Bucs recover. The 49ers just gave away three points.
2:47 The Bucs take a knee. The 49ers will get the ball first in the third quarter.
3:07 On second and nine from the Bucs 39, Garoppolo throws a touchdown pass to Richie James Jr., and the 49ers lead 13-7. Earlier in the drive, Kendrick Bourne drew a pass interference on third and 10.
3:12. On first down, Winston fumbles the snap and falls on it. On second down, he throws a pick six to Richard Sherman. The 49ers lead 20-7.
3:24 On first and goal from the 10, Chris Godwin beats Richard Sherman for a touchdown catch in the end zone. The Bucs trail 20-14 with 5:43 left in the third quarter.
3:25 Earlier in the drive, Bosa sacked Winston after Dee Ford hit him. The 49ers defense has played quite well. Even Ahkello Witherspoon has stepped up.
3:35 Gould’s 57-yard field goal attempt bounces off the cross bar. No good. Bucs take over from their 47.
3:41 Questionable decision by Shanahan: Choosing to kick the 57-yard field goal. Gould missed. Gave the Bucs great field goal position for the potential go-ahead score. Why not punt and pin them deep? The 49ers defense is playing well and Winston is struggling.
3:50 On fourth and goal from the two-yard line, Tarvarius Moore breaks up Winston’s pass and the Bucs turn the ball over on downs. Saleh’s defense bailed out Shanahan.
4:01 Mike McGlinchey commits a holding penalty on third and 14 from the 49ers’ 8.
4:01 Mitch Wishnowsky punts the ball 37 yards. The Bucs take over from the 49ers’ 41.
4:05 Arik Armstead sacks Winston on third and 7 from the 49ers’ eight. Once again, the 49ers defense bails out Shanahan.
4:05 The Bucs make a 31-yard field goal. They trail 20-17.
4:15 Gould makes a 47-yard field goal. The 49ers lead 23-17 with 2:17 left. The Bucs have one timeout and the two-minute warning. Gould seems to have a leg cramp.
4:18 First play of the drive, Winston floats a screen pass to Ahkello Witherspoon, who makes the interception and returns it for a touchdown.
4:19 The 49ers go for the two-point conversion. Garoppolo throws a screen pass to Samuel and he scores. The 49ers lead 31-17. The defense has scored 14 points and given up just 10. What a defense.
Unfortunate you’re not in Tampa…
Papa Lowell knows about these east coast summers. He (and Grant) want no part of them!

Exactly!
Rams’ Malcom Brown looks like a bigger and badder version of Jeff Wilson.
Excuse time is over. Time to produce.
Let’s go Niners!
Weird, this wasn’t supposed to be a reply.
Agree, time to earn the $$$
Darling Browns laying an egg.
Yeah, happy to see them taken apart…
Best of luck to our Niners!
We have 5 inactives I think can play NFL ball. Maybe not at the highest level, but they can play nonetheless. I’ll take it as a good sign.
You are still talking about CJB?
GO NINERS !!!!!!
Leftwich’s first game as play-caller. Appreciate Arians and Reid opening the door to young African-American coaches into offense. Walsh would have approved it.
When do the young Hindi coordinators have their door opened?
Listening to Kocurek, I’d say let the current ones learn to speak better English before we think about Hindi-speaking ones.
Buccaneers 16
49ers 9
Several 49ers go down with leg injuries continuing the trend of past seasons. ??♂️?
Would be cool if the Steelers shove the Patriots around tonight–and win.
mullens already warming up!
Warming up is what Mullens does best.
It’ll be the Skule Of Hard Knocks for Winston today, folks! Go Niners Go!
Perhaps Hitnowsy lays out a returner or two–and strips the ball while doing it.
Finally…..its time…..lets go Niners…..SB bound….
New season, the team is ready, the fans are ready, go Niners.
Start the game. S F 23 TB12
Let’s go Niners!
Prediction: Niners 30, Bucs 24
Punting matters!!
Ha!
Called it earlier–thump on Pinion!
Good ST play
3 and out, blocked punt. Quite the auspicious start.
kiddle!
Abbie!
seb!
Still makes me sick to see anyone else wearing Bryant Young’s number…
Excellent start
Need s TD
Red zone penalty!!!!! ,,::$&)(;,
This sh*t again.
Crucial errors hurt. Red zone woes…
Red zone just kills us
Nothing wrong with the play calling. Got that, Hammer? On field execution kills them every time.
agree
This team needs TDs…
decent ST talent
BUCKNER!
Winston is the horrid Florida QB. Many charges against him
This team constantly gets called for picks… coaches might need to start emphasizing how to sell a route.
Nice call on the TD. Well designed play. Juz needs to be a tad more subtle on the pick.
Sherman getting tested
Nice hit…
K’won Alexander looking good. Penalties again hindering the team.
Where’s the pressure this d was supposed to bring?
Correction- finally
Ouch! Gotta make that interception. That was on a silver platter. Ugh
Winston never impresses with his decision making. Back up type guy.
Same ol’ 49ers… penalty proficiency.
Kwon is pathetic. “Hot Boyzzz” my ass. One more like that and he should be on the bench. Trash.
Anyone else notice the 3 WRs getting in so far have been Goodwin, Bourne, and Samuel? No Pettis.
Nice punt coverage…. Nice punt.
Special teams look good. Third down call was predictable. Come on!
Please play Breida
love our punter
Well I guess it’s good we invested in punter, Because rather than having a guard that could actually help us convert a 3rd and 1 we got to see our punter boom it. Smh
Nick Bozo looking like a fool against winston.
???♂️
Sloppy football , the hall mark of Shanahan’s team
Mistakes coming
Bosa looks awful and Kwon gets worse and worse every down. This isn’t a good defensive unit.
Ya, cuz you’re making judgment in the first quarter of the first game and ZERO points have been given up. Get over yourself.
I guess only one of us have been watching this game. The Bucs offence has many issues, the QB a glaring one, and the defence has been schemed into plays and has failed to make them. A pick and a sack and a fumble and none were capitilised on. The best LB we have is ejected because he’s dumb.
You can clutch to your stats if you like, but this is a sloppy unit. And it’s not even Salah’s fault.
0 points= “stats” Lololol. Damn, some of these f-ing “fans” are just creaming themselves that the Niners aren’t blowing them out, first game, first quarter.
Go follow another team, loser.
“this unit isn’t a good defensive unit”. We have absolutely no idea at this point. My point is judgment is being made after half of the first quarter of the first game. I never said anything about stats but since you mentioned it, so far 3.7 yards per play and a turnover, and still zero points allowed. I’m not trying to say they’re #1 d in the league by any means, but let the game play out.
Reading comprehension is pretty tough. Don’t know where you jumped to conclusion that 0 points is a stat.
Commenting on Renas “clutch to your stats”
OffenSe. DefenSe!
Begone troll.
Dumb play by Alexander. He deserved the ejection.
No he didn’t
Hit a guy sliding and lowered the helmet. Let his emotions get in the way of playing. Undisciplined!
Winston was not sliding, sliding means going feet first. His head and body were still erect, which is what caused the helmet to helmet hit. How can you not lead with your head? Are you supposed to run sideways? You have no control where the other guys head is going. I can see helmet to helmet if the player is sort of stationary- like they are standing in the pocket or have just caught a pass. When two objects are in motion, especially when the one getting hit is not only moving sideways but also moving their head downward. I suppose they had to call it but it was still not blatant.
Well, the lack of 9er discipline on both sides of the ball is the same this year
LMAO Kwon is such a loser.
How many penalties do we have now.. jeezus
Nice push and strip…
Wtf….this is crazy……how can they eject him
Looks like helmet to helmet zero tolerance. They’d better be consistent with that.
Even int this game they were not. Many helmet to helmet hits that were not called. And in most of those, the player getting hit was relatively stationary with the head at the same level throughout. They made that call on Alex because it was a QB getting hit.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/ct-spt-nfl-helmit-hit-rule-ejection-20180522-story.html
NFL is now sisi football ……what is goin on here?
Shut up you moron. Head injuries and CTE are at stake here.
Your Father is the moron…??
Some of those are unavoidable.
Ford came to play.
Maybe the Niners should have been tackling during practice…
LMAO Bosa got thrown like a rag doll there.
yes bad bad draft pick..coulda woulda shoulda JAllen
same old same old
Well, we managed a takeaway
I like this defense…..we have speed on the line…..cbs need to play better
Great fumble recovery from Blair
Ford is looking legit. About the only Niner who does.
Dee Ford is making his presence felt big time.
Deebooooooooooooooo
Cool finish…
Man that Deebo guy is tough!
Is it possible that our interior o-line is worse than last year?
Stewart led with his helmet…why wasnt he just ejected???
Exactly what I saw. And the guy he hit’s head wasn’t moving like Winstons was. When a players head is not only moving laterally but also horizontally it is difficult to avoid helmet to helmet unless you are leading with your feet first. aka. water boy.
Telegraphed that throw for an interception…
Yup. Poor decision.
He practiced those risky throws in Practice. Well someone ( perhaps it was Grant ) said you play however you practice.
Wow Garoppolo back foot floaters to the sideline much?
Great job Jimmy. Horrible.
Bring it, haters!
You don’t think that was a good play, did you, Rib?
Yup. 20 minutes into a 960 minute season. All is lost, right?
Nope, but it was a poor decision by JG.
We’ll see if it affects the outcome, won’t be?
LMAO…hahaha
That was clearly Coleman’s fault.
Defense is playing great. Offense can’t stay on the field and gives up the lead.
thought it also was a poor play call
Lol are you kidding? With a floater like that the RB has little chance to protect that.
CrapOlo…..same chit….throws pic six’s..Bosa is a non factor….this is not a playoff team…penalties, turnovers
Bench JG now please he sucks the biggest dick in sf #cuethefaggots Tampa needs a challenge not another 3rd string qb
That’s the over reaction, Rib. See the difference?
No difference in the criticism. Only difference is the homophobia.
hey..there is a female in her. Be polite.
Under Shanahan, this is a very undisciplined mistake-prone football team
Yup that was a terrible read.
Those are game killers.
I predicted a 16-9 Bucs win I hope I’m wrong. ??♂️?
My under is looking good. ;-)
Ooohhh…a Dante Pettis sighting.
Man my only takeaway from this game is both teams don’t have a chance in hell to win 6 games this year.
The difference so far is we dropped a critical interception and they didn’t.
Right now I see two bad teams trying to lose.
Throwing off his back foot in the face of blitzes. Don’t know if he is jittery with the ACL, or not having faith in his offensive line to hold back the blitz long enough.
THE GREAT SAN FRANCISCO FLAG-FEST 2020!
crucial penalties
Same old thing, O line sucks, no secondary, field goals instead of TDs and penalties out of control
How many penalties is that?
LMAO is this some kind of joke! Hahahahaha “this ones coming back!”
Every game this morning is flag city,this is horrible every game no matter what team you root for..Jesus
The thing is, these are real penalties.
At least our FGs aren’t being called back
Do the refs have money on the under in this game or something?
This is insane! 3 TD’s called back already.
Horrendous calls
Good news is we lead the league in a stat, Penalties
Check out the Browns game, idiot.
CraPolo is the pit…..see Kyle chew his butt for not hitting Kittle….he throws behind in traffic….bad
As bad as things have been, they are only one point out.
Nice drive.
2 TD’s off the board now due to penalties.
My gripe the last two years.
What kind of f-ing “fans” inhabit this blog? Taking glee in setbacks? You’d think the score was 49-0.
Seriously.
Rib, smh beats the heck out of me.
CS call on Mount M. Every game I’ve watched today has been penalty ridden. Ridiculous.
Hey…we’re half way to our interception total for all of last year!
I said the same thing to the 49er group I’m watching the game with today. ?
I’m sure all these penalties would hold up in a court of law but Jesus Christ the NFL is doing everything possible to get fans to turn off these games. This is unwatchable.
Better to pressure Winston than to sack him. He’ll throw INT’s. You just have to catch them.
Good point, though I bet someone on TB fan blog is saying same thing about JG.
And they say we need less OTAs, training camp and preseason….
We got this game?
Kyle needs to manage game better….
god is our offensive line awful
yup..Lynch refused to improve it in the offseason.
Has jimmy lost some velocity on his throws?
They don’t seem to be coming out with as much zip?
Why don’t we just put Kittle under center and get rid of the middle man
My wife just walked through the man cave and said “How can you watch this s..t?!! I said, “What, you want me to watch the Giants”?
I’m losing faith in Jimmy. Though early season defence wins mostly so I’m more disappointed in the pass rush.
Bosa was a dreadful pick
Defense is spelled with an s you annoying troll
pitiful just pitiful
SLOP…slop…comedies of errors…..
Grap. is not a franchise QB, obviously. Sloppy first half.
Agree I saw the interception coming….so did they…most of his throws are behind the receiver
Defense and Special Teams gives the ball to the offense on the 33 and 29 yard lines.
The offense scores 3 points.
On top of that they throw a pick 6 for the only points against.
This is awful. Exactly what we’ve seen the past 2 years from this team.
At least they get the ball to start the second half.
Unfortunately, true. And as long as this team plays like this, it will be on the outside looking in.
We are playing a poor TB team too. One riddled with sickness and we cannot take advantage of the opportunities given the team.
Jack agree with ya…same chit different year..the roster is almost the same…..JimmyP is not very good
Deebo “best receiver on the Niners” KEK. Actively costing the team points now. God this team looks horrible.
So sloppy
Early season offense on full display.
Yup! Let’s hope this is an outlier.
That was a pathetic 30 min of football.
Offense needs to regroup at half time. Jimmy G needs to regroup.
Jimmy G would have two TD passes. But those penalties are called on him, weren’t they?
Jimmy G is the reason the Niners are losing the game. His error accounts for 100% of the Bucs points. You can’t damage control this. You just can’t. He looks terrible. Again, early season, but he needs to be better. Much, MUCH better.
No. Stupid penalties on his offensive teammates and a rookie fumble are reason we are losing at halftime.
No but crappy blocking sprung the TD’s
I am actually more confident in this team than I was watching preseason. They have play makers and they will improve.
We’re making the bucs defense look like a championship defense…. ??
No zip on Jimmy’s throws
This game makes me want to puke! Niner defense can’t get off the field on 3rd down. Niner offense can’t get a good play off unless they make a penalty. Stupidity is the hallmark of the way the Niners are playing overall. So many of the red flags of preseason are coming true. It seems that Kyle Shanahan may be completely incapable of coaching a mediocre disciplined team, much less a well disciplined one. The league wants to get rid of at least one preseason game? This is like a fifth preseason game. This could be a very, very long season. Let’s hope that they clean this pile of manure off the field. Shanahan should be in the locker room right now SCREAMING at these idiots. This is so unacceptable.
Over the years I have seen varying degrees of poor coaching, lack of talent, and occasional player ineptitude as underpinnings of bad football teams. I have to say that this team isn’t bereft of talent (far from it), but man oh man, are they long on poor fundamentals and attention to detail. I wonder if Shanahan gets so wrapped up in nuance and complexity that he forgets to stress what’s so obvious to the rest of us. He’s kind of the polar opposite of Harbaugh (simple schemes/sound fundamentals). It’s frustrating to watch these games.
McGlinchey bonehead play, not lining up correctly. The O-line is not doing its job. Defense looks good I think with time this could be a top unit. Special teams looking good.
Aside from Nzeocha and Ford, anyone else stand out?
warner
Greenlaw should not be starting. The guy takes himself out of plays by running into other players. He is terrible i don’t know why people like him. I didn’t see anything special out of him in preseason.
Mullens warming up…
Good I am a Mullens fan….lets hope JimmyP gets benched and they put in a real QB
Rib- I’m with you on being patient and acknowledge that the sky isn’t falling. I’m equally annoyed by the constant whining of fair weather fans. All that said, WTF? I do expect more, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. We need to start playing to our potential. We also need some glasses for the refs…two out of three of those touchdown killing penalties were complete BS.
Yorks have owned this team for 20 years. How much more time you need?
Same.
My pregame prediction
While disappointed so far, not surprised.
no no no dont blame the refs blame the holding and grabbing
The refs have been a bit sensitive
Damn. I should have be the under.
*bet
This is rediculous… same crap as last year, nice drive with scoring position, penalty, penalty, kick a field goal.
I hate this organization from top to bottom. They can do nothing right no matter how much time they are given. As long as Yorks own there is no hope. At all.
Then stop watching and stop commenting
^this
Its just a poor roster (bad draft picks and trade’s) filled with mediocre players….fans love for the team puts on the rose tinted glasses doesn’t it?…and Kyle wanted less preseason..looks like this team can’t play themselves out of preseason
Jimmy G. was way overpaid for such a thin resume. Get Mullens ready..he is the real leader of this team.
Allie I agree….Mullens is way better than JimmyP
He has looked better both this season and last. But they will go with Jimmy because they have so much invested in him.
The bright side is good teams win games like this. If Niners find a way to get it done this would be a good start. Losing it really hurts as it’s a very winnable game, and you can’t lose those and reach the post season.
Penalties are what I feared — been a hallmark of Kyle’s coaching for the past two seasons.
This team does not yet know how to win.
And the weather seems to have made the players sluggish both physically and mentally.
Jimmy G is terrible.
This will age well…
All the comments in this thread will.
Where’s the flag on the TD? HAHAHAHAHA.
Jimmy!!! Finally…ditch the running game Shanny!
Great route by James. Great throw by Garoppolo.
Now time for the D to keep it going.
Yup! The other route was equally well executed.
Hit him right between the numbers!
Coleman=porcelian. Least we got some soul from James!
Great TD pass & catch, that should build some confidence
Haaaaaaa…RJJ
Suck on that, haters!
F ’em!
No kidding.
Right in the bucket. Nice pass, JG!
Touchdown Niners!!!!
I am shocked! A TD with no penalty?
Devin Coleman will be this year’s Breida, instantly hurt his ankle.
Yeah, we had to wait a bit before celebrating that TD.
.
The defense been off the field for a good little while now. Three and out would be nice.
Dang I was writing this and not watching the game.
No Rib, Jimmy is not suddenly an elite player now because he hit one of two open players. He missed Kittle earlier in the drive with a terrible throw. It’s getting real hard to keep hoping on him. Maybe he just needs to work through it, but as he is right now, he’s not good enough. The Niners need better.
How’s that bad defensive unit doing, ding-dong?
It’s making the plays they were whiffing on. Looks like they’re better without Kwon. Maybe Kwon shouldn’t be a starting player. Believe me, I’m glad.
He is the best quarterback we have and will only get better with experience. Lighten up
He is, but I think Mullens might end up better on the trajectory he’s on.
Beat it, hater
I accept your concession.
What are you? A Seb sock puppet? Beat it, or take your lumps all season.
Sebbie must really live in your head rent free. I want Jimmy to do well. I even have said in this very post repeatedly how it’s still early. But fact is Jimmy has, thus far, not been up to scratch.
He doesn’t live in my head. His 1000s of postings saying the same thing overrun this blog.
Mullens wouldn’t have made that throw. He would have crumbled in the pocket like an old lawn chair. Come on now!!
The halftime adjustment was secretly sowing the flag to the ref’s pants ;)
blaming the refs is weak the team is causing the penalties not the refs
GO NINERS !!!!!!!
We now have the same number of interceptions as last year. An example of pressure causing a turnover!
Hate to say it but neither interception had anything to do with pressure. One ball hit the receiver in the hands and the other was a horrible pass. Neither had anything to do with pressure
The second interception was a bad pass because player was coming into Winston’s face. Blair is right in his face.
Bad throw by Winston. Good concentration by Sherman.
Bad throw thanks to the pressure coming up in his face. Turnovers finally coming in.
Look at what Houston said. He’s ? right!
On the second interception, Blair was in Winston’s face. Greenlaw blitzed on the inside and got blocked, but Blair came in untouched. Just watched the replay to confirm.
Dude, don’t believe your lying eyes! Just follow along with The Legion Of Gloom that resides in this blog.
Lots of room for (needed) improvement in all phases and they don’t look like a playoff team yet, but the Miserableness Madness reigns.
Nice! Now this is more like it!
Told ya. Just pressure. He’ll give it up. Niners should be ahead by 30 in this game.
He’s weak, “don’t you ever test me” in my Sherman voice
Sherman TD. Came to play!
Lets go!!! Richard!!!!! That’ s the way uh-huh uh-huh I like it!!! ?
And I see they feasting on ‘spoon. Not.
He had very good coverage.
Shanny screamed some life in this team at half time.
Bosa
Let’s get this closed out.
Yeah, like that!
Dee Ford causing Winston to end up right in Bosa’s arms. Why you have a rush end on each side…
Renas,
Bosa?
It’s going to be fun punking that kid all season.
Haha, It’ll probably get old soon. More fun when there’s some back and forth and the kid doesn’t really bring anything to the adult table.
Dee Ford made that sack.
Bosa with the ?
What was that about Clowney being a better pass rusher than Dee Ford?
Defense is starting to wear down.
Sherman taketh, Sherman giveth away.
Sherman has always held. This is nothing new (I’m talking Seattle years).
Sherman: hot or not?
sherman 1 pick 6 3 holding
Coleman our rest of game.
Mostert!
Last year the defense would play well until they were needed to make a stop. Has that changed this year?
TBD
If the O gives them more than a one score cushion, it should help much.
inaccurate jimmy
If it hits the receivers hands it should be caught. Yes it would be nice to have it out infront for the YAC but that’s a drop.
That was a dumb pass from Jimmy…
Jimmy please. Goodwin could have caught it but those are easy throws to make. It’s going to lose the Niners this game if these sloppy errors keep on coming.
lousy call by shanny..go for it on 4th or punt it away..Gould is not likely to hit at 57 years out. Get Mullens in..Jimmy is too inaccurate
Not likely? He missed it by one foot.
What’s Gould’s range though?
It’s 58 for his longest. The probability of success goes down quite a bit. Need to play the percentages. Need to do the smart play.
In that kind of humidity, I wouldn’t have risked it.
That was my point. The conditions didn’t warrant the risk. Fortunately TB didn’t get points on that drive, but it was risky.
Goodwin has been a zero all summer.
One burning question: Where’s Dwelley?
It was easy to predict Gould missing that out of his range shot and the Tampa dudes taking it down to score.
That field goal attempt was so stupid
agree..bad shanny decision
All the haters crying about an impressive win. Our defense sucks. Boo hoo. Jimmy G is trash. Boo hoo Bosa a wasted pick. boo hoo. Poor play calling. Boo f-ing hoo. Beat it.
dropped picks killing us..like last year
Sooooooo sloppy
Moore has now done more as a FS than Colbert in his career. I know it’s hyperbole, but it sure seems like it given the 4th down stop.
More than Colbert AND Ward
Buuuuut, that shoulda been a pick 6 by Moore.
Okay Shanny a nice long time consuming drive – to end in points
Wish he got the pick but that was a great play by Moore.
True they have dropped at least 2 pick sixes.
crucial penalties..ugh
We don’t have any passing game I guess.
Can’t just run the ball when Tampa is showing an 8 man front and a 2nd and 15.
yup..pathetic play calling
Tomlinson is dreadful..Lynch gives him an extension and fails to sign help for the OL?
All those runs, shanny has little confidence in JG
Shanny has no confidence in his passing game.
First clutch punt and he fails.
This run blocking has a lot to be desired.
If he caught that he was going to the house. Two dropped INT’s. Sad. Could be the difference. Catch the friggin ball!
what a s–t series. you had the chance to put the game away and another penalty. meh
Total lack of discipline on this team. Grant is gonna have a field day.
A 4th round pick for THIS punter? Damn. What a waste.
It’s not this team needed a guard or corner or anything :/
*ignores huge punt in first half
Like clockwork.
Defensive line was supposed to be a strength, right? Because they are getting blocked easily on running plays.
But way to come up with the sack.
I thought they were supposed to be tough against the run. TB is running all over them. where is Buckner.
Starting LB got ejected. Probably playing a bit knot this… And the heat… And the first game of the season.
Buckner!
we need a TD but Jimmy is so inaccurate they have to keep running
Bosa is playing well!
The heat and humidity is having an effect on this team. Soft.
This comment didn’t age well
A time consuming drive is needed now.
Get Mullens up..Jimmy is hopeless
Kiddle..our entire offense!
Keep that clock moving…
Jimmy needs to step up.
lucky call
Love me some Mostert!
Watching the game and it shows we have no WR or RB to lead the team. Kittle is a beast but he cant carry the team by himself. The defense is playing very well better than i thought would
Is it a judgment call by the zebras if a helmet to helmet call is an automatic ejection?
Gould….keep his attempts within 52 yards
What a stupid play call in 3rd down. Even if he catches it they’re short of the 1st.
Now TB has the timeout and 2 minute warning.
Nevermind! LMAO!
I have to believe it was the wrong execution…..jimmy not sharp today
+1 when you play safe you always get bit
need a pick
JG is trash. He cant lead a team. People will say its rust or lack of playing time but the way people talk about him hes the next Joe but really next Elvis Garbac or Steve Bono
Ouch….
Jimmy G sucks…….wtf…..i can’t believe we have to depend on Saleh again…..
There it is nicely done Niners!
At least our quarterback isn’t Jameis Winston…
D wins the day.
wow..we got thee pick I called for.
Holy crap! Proving once again how incredibly random turnovers are season to season.
No that was Dee Ford. And Witherspoon
But last year Witherspoon would have dropped it.
Very true. He’s a different player this year.
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ball game!!!!
3 takeaways. A defense that scores. The Brand new day for this defense, folks.
The accused rapist Winston is still trash.
Allie is a rapist. How does it feel to be an accused rapist?
^this hahahahaha
huh?
Renas,
How’s the D?
Wow, Spoon has a great game!
Yeeessss
Pass rush make CB better
deeeeeeeeeboooooooo
Fine play!
That’s what I like to see. Defence winning the game.
Jimmy is bad, but Jameis is even worse.
Their stats were eerily similar till that last pick.
Rough outing. Gettin’ turnovers. Hope Gould isn’t too bad off…
D line pressure….and of course Ronde Barber playing it off
I am happy.
Me tooo….?
Me 3.
Who woulda thunk that uncle sherm and spoon would win the game for us!!???
That, my fellow Forty Niner Faithful, is the difference a dynamic pass rush makes for a defensive backfield!
Nick Bosa. THE SMALLER BEAR, with a hand in Winston’s face, while other pass rusher are baring down, and the result is the 2nd pick six of the afternoon , and a likely road win to open the season!
“I’ll see you at the QB” – Bosa and Ford
Dee Ford is today’s MVP imo. Salah a close second.
Agreed
Let Thomas get a sack now too
Thomas has a sack
We have a pass rush now Grant!
That’s right Crab. ?? And funny how the secondary looked much better because of it. I thought this front office and staff didn’t know what they were doing?
the spoon looks good
Grant-
Give Bosa credit…he played his ass off!
That’s all we ask, play hard.
agree with the crab…not bad for having missed all of camp
Allie –
I always liked you ?
Yup. But it’ll be crickets. He was in the backfield a lot. You could tell he was gassed and his stamina wasn’t there and his ankle isn’t a 100%. He’s going to get better as long as he stays healthy.
Yes sir…well said
Career day for Witherspoon. Hope it isn’t his last.
Put a nail in it.
T. MOORE made the game changing play……congrats Niners on our new FS and our 1st win….
Good win for the defense. They are the most responsible for the outcome.
Bingo. I wasn’t too far off. 9ers 33, Bucs 19
Pretty good Cassie. I had 17 – 14. Who knew 2 pick sixes????
I had 24 and 17 in Bucs favor. Glad I was wrong!
31-6 was my score Niners.
Nice call.
I posted at the top I had the Niners 30-24. A point off for the Niners, and a TD off for the Bucs.
But Sebs was closer!!
It ain’t a penalty if the flag ain’t thrown, especially after review :)
The D saved Kyle’s and Jimmy G’s rears. The overall team indiscipline is inexcusable.
Evens could also have been called for O pass interference. there was a lot of hand slapping on both him and Sherman.even before the interference by Sherman.
D wins this one,.
Thank you. That non call just won me 100 bucks. A win is a win is a win. Let the negativity begin. Coach, your on.
East coast road game monkey off the back!
Yeah, huge!!
Amen to that. This will help in many ways. Did you see the relief on Shanahan’s face.
Saw that too – more like a gorilla was lifted off his back.
Good victory, lots to clean up. Gould big concern. Nice start to the season on the road and in the eastern time zone.
Why is Gould a concern?
He tweaked something.
Looked like he limped off after one of the kicks. Ok. The bar I’m at has sound for Dallas game. ?
His leg that’s why Niners went for two.
Hey, that secondary looked pretty good. Offensive line did alright, but as you said, lots of cleaning to do.
Real happy when you can win a stinker like that. This team is going to do nothing but get better.
That’s a big difference. Team did not play well but got the win. On the road, in the heat! Kudos to the team. Long time sinc that has happened. Would like to see it as the beginning of a good run.
GO Niners!!!!!!!!!!
The rookie Bosa had one sack, should of had two and could have had 3—all on a wimpy ankle………………
Ha! Sebs reachin for the Kaopectate and chasin it with some Peppermint Schnapps!
Lets hope that this is reflective of one lf Jimmys lesser efforts and not his standard.
Game ball goes to Dee Ford. He wrecked havoc all game. The team had a good mush rush today.
Witherspoon had an encouraging game.
The D didn’t crumble at the end like they often did last year.
Jimmy still looked rusty but wasn’t bad, he just had 1 terrible throw/decision.
The guards still look bad and the team was still undisciplined.
Garoppolo needs to be better, and I suspect he will be!
But I’ll be a hot da_n, if this pass rush doesn’t have a chance to be special! Hot and suffocatingly humid, the closers on the DL showed up in the 4th QTR, and that was the difference in the ball game!
Actually Jimmy had a few off-target passes. Most of them behind the receiver. The one to Bourne was high and behind him. More of his passes were off than were on target.
Yah, Jimmy wasn’t exactly sharp!
Nice. The Niners DBs made plays. The Niner D won this game.
.
Glad they broke the East Coast curse.

Mullens is the best QB on the team.
Nick Bosa’s rookie debut:
3 tackles
1 sack
2 quarterback hits
1 tackle for loss
Dee Ford’s #49ers debut:
1 tackle
1 sack
1 forced fumble
That works.
Thanks Leo!
And their aint nothin Sebs can do about it……………..Should have given ShannyLynch the benefit of the doubt on their draft picks, Seb–wait to see how it plays out.
Instead you besmirched our 9ers, kicked them in the teeth when they were trying their best……………and now, the chickens have come home to roost!………..right in your 2.5……………and with axe in hand, you still cant catch them!
Here’s one for Prime……………BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLease….PLEASE dont make us go to the archives, Sebs!!!!!!!!!!!! DONT DO IT!
Don’t want to get too far ahead, but would be cool to be 2 and 0 coming in vs Pittsburg.
A few billion robot morons are happy…
I imagine a bug-eyed Carl Sagan saying “billions and billions of happy robot morons floating in our cosmos”
Try this, from Carl himself….

Whoa. It might be the undefeated NFC west.
The Kyler Murray Show is on in Phoenix! 18 points in the 4th quarter…
Early returns show that CFC is going to be dead wrong about Murray.
The NFC West is going to be tough…..K Murray is the real deal…
Tremaine Brock playing good for Cards. Go figure.
I take that back. Dropped an easy pick that would have won the game.
The 49ers defense has 4 takeaways today (2 INT return TD). They had 7 total takeways in all of 2018 (fewest in a season in NFL history).
Keep that up and last years Bears will look like pikers!
You have to let go the past…….
It haunts us like a drunken sailor outside a strip joint.
This is cool…
Tennessee took advantage of a reckless Browns roster that committed 18 penalties for 182 yards and turned the ball over thrice, all three times on the arm of Baker Mayfield
Not often you see the word thrice in a sports report. Well done.
Thrice whilst throwing…
Nice to see big mouth Mayfield humbled
I have a question about helmet to helmet contact. Why did the Niners guy get ejected and the guy on the Buck’s didn’t. This makes me so mad!
I think he was also ejected…..
When? After the game was over? ?
When he hung around after the game and wouldn’t leave the field after everyone went home.
???
TB guy wasn’t. They walked off the penalty yardage but he stayed on the field.
Because the guy he hit was a QB. Stewart had a previous helmet to helmet hit that wasn’t even called. On that one, the guy who got hit wasn’t even moving which should be a major criterion for that sort of call.
Type of hit. One led, the other was incidental.
Great win. Checked so may boxes :
Bosa /Dee Ford up to task – Check
Bosa health – Check
Secondary – Check
E Coast road win – Check
We definitely have some issues and need to be more disciplined. Way too many Oline penalties. D Line looked tired in the 4th. Deebo will be a good player but must focus and concentrate ….and hang onto the ball.
More in grades.
Gonna get destroyed against good teams. Oline is trash and so is kyle’s play calling. Jimmy inaccurate and only throws to kittle. 6-10. maybe.
Just can’t let the hate go, huh?
Great to see the win. Lots to clean up….. but road win is big, especially for our team.
1) Kittle, Mostert good on Offense. Jimmy G was average….Rest, including play calling was bad not.
2) Fred Warner and Dee Ford were excellent on Defense. Moore, Bosa and Spoon made some nice plays. Sherman is declining.
Kyle’s play-calling was average, but Saleh bailed him out this game. Overall, good team win and hope Kyle can clean up the penalties.
And more silly Cleveland stuff…
Add in the fact that officials ejected Browns left tackle Greg Robinson in the first half (after he kicked Titans safety Kenny Vaccaro in the head in the second quarter), and it was as miserable a debut as Cleveland ever could’ have imagined on a day when 67,431 fans giddily anticipated a new era.
Giddily anticipating…
49ers D showed up big time on the road. Yes, I know it was Winston, but even so it was very impressive to see the D step up in a road game and make some crucial plays. I thought the LBs were really good – Warner in particular but Kwon also looked really good before getting ejected. Pass rush was pretty good, and Ford and Bosa made their presence felt on numerous occasions. Secondary obviously made some plays too, which was good to see.
The offense struggled most of the day. Really struggled converting 3rd and short. JG was shaky all day, but I expect he will get better as he gets more games under him. Main concern for me was the injuries at RB, again.
Good summary! Agree on all points. Thought the JG game play and the overall offense need a lot of clean up! And that is some concern along with the continued penalties. Good to get the win.
Huge step to get road win and pull out tight win.
WTF ….does …..”49ers defense bails out Shanahan”…….mean?……
sounds like Grant is really trying hard…….someone please remind him ….this is shanahan defense…duh….
Exactly! Beat writers trying to hate!
Why do you hare on coach? We won. Next.
