Good evening everyone. Hope y'all had a good week off and are charged up for some Sunday Night Football. The 49ers enter the fracas with some familiar names that have been missing in action, Mitchell, Al-Shaair, and Juice to name a few. The Chargers defense is similar to the Rams defense, and I expect a healthy portion of 49ers OZ served up with little to no meat left on the bones in this one. As Scooter pointed out in his excellent preview, the 49ers are a bit soft in the middle with the absence of Armstead and Kinlaw, however the return of Al-Shaair along with a healthy Greenlaw should fill any holes quickly. Go Niners!
49ers Inactives:
- DL Arik Armstead (foot, ankle)
- RB Tyrion Davis-Price
- DL Samson Ebukam (quadricep, Achilles)
- LB Curtis Robinson
- DL Kemoko Turay
- OL Nick Zakelj
The 9ers move up a game against Seattle with a win against the Chargers.
ReplyDeleteBuccaneers 21 Seattle 16
Hawks going into bye week, with a win tonight and next week the Niners are in first place owning the tiebreaker.
DeleteThat was a good game, Geep. I'm getting used to these 9am games on Sunday.
DeleteUnder, we need this win and then we gotta go take care of business south of the border.
DeleteRazor
DeleteI agree, especially when Seattle loses!
We have more talent for sure but they got a great young QB. But I feel we are about to roll into the 2nd half of the season and into the playoff. It starts tonight!
ReplyDeleteMake it feel great, Jimmy!
DeleteInactives.

Mason over TDP
DeleteI'm assuming special teams played a role.
DeleteNiners haven't won against the Chargers this century! Time to change that.
ReplyDeleteMan, that was far too easy for the Chargers. Ryans better right the ship.
ReplyDeleteOkay defense lets pick it up eh
ReplyDeleteHerbert looking like the prototypical QB out there. If Lance is even 70% of Herbert by year 3, I will take it.
ReplyDeleteEvery time Mitchell gets tackled, I hold my breath.
Hope Huf plays with more awareness and D hold up.
I will trade anybody in our team to get a Herbett type QB. They can have anyone!
DeleteI was hoping the B team would stay home but at the moment it is making its appearance on both sides of the ball.
ReplyDeleteNot impressed with the play calling. Shanny and Ryans need to make adjustments.
ReplyDeleteSMH
ReplyDeleteWhenever the 49ers clearly outmatch a team they find a way to make the game competitive. If only we could play the Lambs every game.
DeleteIt's amazing how they continue to beat themselves.
DeleteI'm praying now that the Chargers somehow "Charger" the game and we eke out a win. :)
ReplyDeleteD has found its stride.
O needs to step up this drive. Go back to running the ball please. Please don't abandon the run.
That was a great throw on the run by Jimmy G. to Ray Ray.
ReplyDeleteYeah...one of his best.
DeleteHopefully Offense has woken up now! Go Niners!
I thought so too.
DeleteThat was a terrible call on Greenlaw
ReplyDeleteBull shit call. Perfectly legal hit.
DeleteCan't believe New York went along with it. Stupid call beyond belief.
DeleteThe game's going pretty much the way I feared. You can give Kyle an All-pro offensive line-up but it will still start slow with various parts creaking and groaning.
ReplyDeleteI expected the Chargers to sell out for stopping the run and that's pretty much what they are doing. The passing game is underperforming. Hopefully they settle down in the second half. Maybe need more screens or swing passes or whatever it takes to get the balls into the playmakers' hands.
KS passing game has been anemic most of the year. Dont know why if it is the scheme or JG or combo. Ugh
DeleteDepressing that Brandon Staley out-schemed Kyle and DeMeco in first half.
DeleteExcellent, start off with a swing pass to CMac
ReplyDeleteDamn, Aiyuk trying to lose this game for the Niners...
ReplyDeleteAiyuk not having his best game.
ReplyDeleteHe has literally cost 7 pts already. 3 on the Fumble and -4 off the TD.
DeleteWith all the talent we have in the offense one thing missing is that WR with great hsnds. Crabtree was probably the lsst one...
ReplyDeleteMcGlinch doing his usual turnstile act against good pass rushers
ReplyDeleteNot confident that a nasty attitude will compensate for his inability to sink his hips quickly to anchor, or move laterally quickly.
DeleteWe should be dominating this game!
ReplyDeleteKyle spent a 3rd round pick on a RB, two years in a row, and yet Kyle still needs to trade an additional FOUR draft picks for yet another RB, and they STILL can’t run the football or score points, AT HOME, against a team with a lousy run defense!
ReplyDeleteJOY!
All I know is that Bill Walsh must be rolling in his grave by now!
Sooooo, KS has been 1 - 25 ehen entering the 4th when down 3 pts or more. Please make it 2 - 25🙏
ReplyDeleteAmen.
DeleteImagine where this team would be without John Lynch, DeMeco Ryans, and Robert Salleh?
ReplyDeleteI should go back and rank Kyle's offenses, VS his defenses during his tenure. His DC's, along with JL, deserve most of the credit for both of those deep playoff runs.
Excellent catch and run by Jennings.
ReplyDeletethe kid's a gamer.
DeleteAiyuk atoning for past performance
ReplyDeleteThanks you, Brunskill.
ReplyDeleteHas there been any improvement in special teams this year?
ReplyDeleteOf course, Gould has to screw up.
ReplyDeleteSo many mistakes.
ReplyDeleteHammer just tweeted that Purdy was firing passes to BA during the TV timeout and then he makes the catch to get the 49ers on the two.
ReplyDeleteAbout time we lead.
ReplyDeleteOne last stand needed from the D.
Don't leave the ball in Herberts hands. He is too good to not close out the game.
Heavy dose of McCarffery and Mitchel
ReplyDeleteKyle is coaching this 4th QTR like a COWARD!
ReplyDeleteNot happy with the predictable run playcalls
ReplyDeleteAin't that the truth.
DeleteIt puts unfair pressure on Jimmy G to constantly bail them out on third and longs.
DeleteHappy for the victory but the Niners still have work to do.
ReplyDeletedefinitely on offense.
Deleteand special teams.
DeleteA win is a win, but sheesh...
ReplyDeleteYou'll never hear anyone use the term "well-oiled machine" when referring to the 49ers. They won, but not in a convincing fashion given the opponent.
ReplyDeleteA win is a win but that is too close for a team missing a bunch of starters. The offense unless playing the RAMs is just not firing in all cylinders.
ReplyDelete2 - 25! Phew
ReplyDeleteDespite the offense's performance, Jimmy G. has been playing well and has really minimized the turnovers. No doubt Brian Griese has helped in this regard.
ReplyDeleteNice play by Dline/Huf to close out the game. Overall excellent performance from D. Was impressed with No 75 on his first game back. Much needed depth on the D-line.
ReplyDeleteGlad that we got the win...but if they play like this, we won't even get to the playoffs.
Phily, Cowboys, Giants, Vikings, Seahawks, Bucs all playing good ball now and Packers looked decent tonight too. So we better clean up the mistakes on Offense.
On the plus side Mitchel looked really good.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved Mitchell.
DeleteChargers were a 5-3 team and they fought hard with a defensive head coach who's very familiar with this offense. I give credit to the 49ers for persevering to overcome their mistakes. Good win!
ReplyDeleteWe need to get Deebo involved more in the passing game.
ReplyDeleteYep and Kittle.
DeleteWith so many mouths to feed (and nearly not everyone getting enough touches), I don't understand what OBJ will do in this team.
DeleteMe either.
DeletePlease no to OBJ. We have others areas that could use some help.
ReplyDeleteInjuries, none to report from the game, apparently Gray rolled his ankle pregame.
ReplyDeleteI call that a win, win!
DeleteIt sure is.
DeleteJUST MY TWO CENTS WORTH:
ReplyDelete“We were killing ourselves in the first half and we knew it,” Garoppolo told NBC’s Melissa Stark after the game. “Especially offensively, we were killing ourselves with mistakes. Once we cleaned those up, I thought we put together some good drives and put some points on the board.”
There you have it! That explains why the 9ers are 5W - 4L, rather than 9W - OL......
Once the 9er offense cleaned up the mistakes (in the 2nd half), they won the game......
The only team that's beat the 9ers, is the 9ers.........
