The 49ers will beat the Cardinals 30-16 Predictions: • Purdy: 290 yards passing, 3 TD • CMC: 110 total yards • Black: 40 yards rushing • Deebo: 90 total yards, TD • Evans: 85 yards receiving, TD • Kittle: 75 yards receiving, TD • DMO and Sigle: INT each
49ers Inactives:
QB Kurtis Rourke
DE Nick Bosa (calf)
DL James Thompson (ankle)
DE Romello Height (hand)
LB Tatum Bethune
CB Ephesians Prysock
OT Enrique Cruz Jr.
How many yards will the Cardinals get on the ground? 110 or less 9ers win by 10. 110-130 too close to call. 130+ Cardinals win
ReplyDeleteCan the Niners stop the ground game and get off the field...

DeleteArizona rookie RB, Love, has had an high ankle sprain and has split carries with RB Tyler Allgeier,! Aligeier is not considered a major threat.
The question is how well has Love's high ankle injury healed?
Looks like he is playing well.
DeleteIf the defense can hold the Cardinals to under 10 points without Bosa, it's safe to say they're the best in the NFL.
ReplyDeleteThere's no way to replace Bosa. But, the vets and ascending young players on the DL can hold down the fort until he returns. If the 49ers Offense can average 24-27 PPG, they have a chance to win more often than not.
ReplyDeleteMyles Garrett faces a 6-week timeline for recovery from knee surgery. Browns sold the Rams damaged goods for a premium it looks like.
ReplyDeleteKeys to 9ers defeating Arizona
ReplyDelete* Warner and Greenlaw must take away Arizona QB Jacoby Brissett's security blanket TE Trey McBride and make him look elsewhere.
* The 9er D must contain rookie RB Jeremiyah Love! He has the breakaway speed to score, but he's not been healthy! He's had an
ankle injury and split carries with RB Tyler Allgeier, who's not considered a major threat.
* If BP and the 9ers can get an early lead, it will force QB Brissett into passing and effectively taking Arizona's RB's out of the game.
* BP leads the league with an 80.4 completion percentage. Let Purdy attack! : Despite missing some receiving targets due to injury, Purdy still has a strong run game with CMC and Black. He should continue pushing the ball downfield to Deebo, Evans, Kittle and CMC.
We should also see Cowing and Watkins get some opportunities.
I expect the 9ers to win by a final score of 34 to 19
The Cardinals want to control the clock so they will attempt to run. See what happens.

DeleteWanting and getting are two different things!
Arizona's D front features a lot of size under coordinator Nick Rallis, but they struggle with lateral stretch plays and play-action.
NOTE: The Cardinals' D is coming off a brutal butt kicking! Seattle torched them for 162 rushing yards.
If Rallis' relies on stopping the 9ers run game, look for BP to
make them pay with his passing. Arizona's secondary is severely mismatched against the 9ers’ WR's and dual-threat CMC.
Arizona's top CB's Will Johnson is on IR. Primary corners Garrett Williams (Achilles) and rookie Max Melton (thumb) are playing through injuries or limited. The Starters: Young CB's like Denzel Burke and Kei'Trel Clark are being forced into heavy usage against the 9er receivers.
Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThat was unexpected. Good call
ReplyDeleteSeattle looses
ReplyDeleteThey sure did!!!
DeleteIf we can beat AZ we’ll be a game up in our division. Go niners
ReplyDeletePurdy's last huddle is to learn not to force passes into coverage.
ReplyDeleteDo you think he was expecting Evan’s to be there?
DeleteHeck, now Evans looks injured.
ReplyDeleteEvans, Lenoir, now Williams...SMH
ReplyDeleteDaaaaaang!
ReplyDeleteOur defense, I know injuries, but...
ReplyDeleteWell, Purdy this is a game where you need to carry the team on your back. That is what greatness does...
ReplyDeleteUC,
DeletePurdy has carried the team to a win as you requested
Yup he sure did...
DeleteThe 49ers came out flat for the 2nd half. It's time to kick into gear, now.
ReplyDeleteThree special team plays that have changed the complex of the game.
ReplyDeleteA win is a win, I'll take it!
ReplyDeleteArizona seems to always be a tough out for us.
ReplyDeleteNice win and Purdy carried the team.
ReplyDeleteBut, the 49ers can't afford to come out flat in the 2nd half next week against Denver.
