Lifetime

 The 49ers quietly signed Kyle Shanahan to a contract extension in the offseason, per Tom Pelissero. I've said he should be the HC here until he no longer wants to be. Like a warranty, I'd give him a lifetime contract if I were the Yorks.

27-7 San Francisco

Brock Purdy leads the 49ers past the Rams in Australia. San Francisco executed in all 3 phases of the game, but Brockadile Dundee was impressive. He made the one faux pas but came back and finished with 3 TD's and 5 scrambles for 30 yards. The OL played a great game, and I thought Shanahan's play calling was fantastic. Morris is an upgrade over Saleh for mine, and Flock of Sigle might have played his best game since coming into the league. Morris has something with this dime personnel package. Greenlaw comes off for Jack Jones. Lenoir and Stout play in the slot. You take so much pressure off the safeties by having an extra coverage player, and it allows you to be more aggressive up front. The challenge now becomes can the 49ers recover in time for their next matchup in 10 days against the Miami Dolphins.

A Message To The Faithful

 

A new season is upon us, Faithful.

You know what that means. Time for the team to see how many members of the fan base they can send to the doctor for increased blood pressure. (I kid …sort of.)

If we are to believe the “experts”, there will be several visits because many of them are projecting the 49ers to be worse than they were in 2025.

One of their reasons is that the 49ers roster is old.

An odd conclusion, because the team they’re expecting to hoist the Lombardi Trophy in February, the Los Angeles Rams, is around the same age as the 49ers.

Actually, they’re slightly older on average than the 49ers, but I digress.

Sure, there are still some areas of concern for the 49ers. They need to stay healthy, and LG and the two safety positions are a case of throwing something at the wall and hoping it sticks.

But the receiving corps and RB room are shaping up to be the best group the 49ers have put together, and I’m anticipating that Brock Purdy will take another step forward this season, with the latter resulting in the pundits downplaying what he has done for the team once again. (We all know it’s coming.)

The defense will be markedly better thanks to the additions of DT Osa Odighizuwa to the DL and DB Jack Jones to push Renardo Green, along with the return of Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw in the LB room.

Looking at the schedule, I see potential losses against the following:

Broncos in Week 4

Cowboys in Week 10

Seahawks in Week 12

Rams in Week 14

Chiefs in Week 16

The schedule looks like a gauntlet this season, and the oddsmakers are counting the 49ers out, having them lose more games than I’m predicting.

However, it’s when the 49ers are counted out that they tend to stomp a hole in those doomsday predictions.

Only this time, they have the pieces to capture the franchise’s elusive sixth Lombardi trophy.

Get excited Faithful.  

Big Season

When You Consider

What Purdy had to work with last season it's pretty incredible.

 Taking a look at the rookie pass rusher the 49ers just added to their practice squad, he reminds me of Arden Key.
