49ers 20, Cardinals 12

Posted on December 28, 2020 by Skeebers

The 49ers finally found a way to corral Kyler Murray and the Cardinals on Saturday in Arizona. All it took was losing their star pass rusher and three quarters of the secondary, then starting their 3rd string QB and RB while…

Cowboys 41, 49ers 33

Posted on December 21, 2020 by Skeebers

The 49ers were officially eliminated from the 2020 playoffs Sunday in Arizona. Nick Mullens played Santa Claus to the Dallas Cowboys, gifting them with two interceptions and a fumble for 17 points. Richie James kicked in a fumble, too, for another 7…

49ers 36, Giants 9

Posted on September 28, 2020 by Skeebers

The stock price of Nick Mullens, Inc surged upward Sunday in New Jersey as he directed a thorough and relentless butt-kicking of the hapless New York Giants. Mullens completed 25 of 36 to ten different receivers while racking up 343 yards.…

Eras Come, Eras Go

Posted on May 18, 2020 by Skeebers

The retirement of Joe Staley closed the books on all the players drafted from the Mike Nolan/Scot McCloughan era. In fact, only two players from those years are still on NFL rosters – Alex Smith and Frank Gore. If Michael Crabtree finds a team sometime this…

49ers 37, Packers 20

Posted on January 20, 2020 by Skeebers

The 49ers made it look easy Sunday night, pounding their way to a 27-0 halftime lead and cruising to the finish line. There wasn’t a moment of real anxiety the entire game. The most laughable and yet telling stat of…

Upwardly Mobile

Posted on September 26, 2019 by Skeebers

This is the earliest BYE week the 49ers have ever had. Kind of early for a nap, IMHO. I normally push myself through a pot of coffee and five hours before taking my first nap of the day. The team…

49ers 27, Chiefs 17

Posted on August 26, 2019 by Skeebers

Jimmy Garoppolo quieted the restless 49er masses Saturday night in Kansas City, turning in a solid performance while playing the entire first half. He was a bit ragged on the first drive, then settled down and threw some beautiful passes.…

Junky Alert

Posted on July 22, 2019 by Skeebers

The third season of the Kyle Shanahan Show will begin airing next week. As usual, the first four episodes will be meaningless drivel whose only purpose will be to familiarize us fans with the new cast of characters who will be…

The Raytown Kid

Posted on June 17, 2019 by Skeebers

The 49ers wrapped up their minicamp last week and the offseason practices have come to an end. A few players were too dinged up, for one reason or another, to join in the final festivities: RT Mike McGlinchey WR Deebo…

Return of the Jed

Posted on April 1, 2019 by Skeebers

It was only a matter of time. For the past two years, Jed York has been quiet, almost invisible. Leaving Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch alone to do their jobs. Over the weekend, however, word leaked out of 49er HQ that York had…

Bring Me Your Lame …

Posted on March 18, 2019 by Skeebers

The first week of Free Agency has come and gone. A lot of players changed teams and a lot of money changed hands. With the money being tossed at players these days, the “don’t let your kids play football” arguments are…

Bring Your Gum Wads

Posted on December 20, 2018 by Skeebers

The Chicago Bears come to town this weekend, fresh from clinching the NFC North division. They would be more tempted to mail this game in if not for the falling fortunes of the Rams which have suddenly made the last…

Trending Up Meets Trending Down

Posted on December 7, 2018 by Skeebers

The Broncos were left for dead last month. Their record was 3-6. Now it’s 6-6, after dispatching the Chargers and Steelers, and they might just slip into the playoffs if they keep on winning. Imagine their delight to find the…

49ers 30, Lions 27

Posted on September 17, 2018 by Skeebers

As expected, the 49ers rebounded from their loss in Minnesota to easily barely handle the toothless scrappy Detroit Lions. After controlling the game for three quarters, the Niners held a 17 point lead with 11 minutes to go in the…

Coming Attractions

Posted on July 9, 2018 by Skeebers

Less than three weeks until the 49ers’ Training Camp opens and we start separating the men from the boys. One of my favorite times of the year. All the OTA standouts and over-hyped draft picks get their first taste of…

Cardinals 20, 49ers 10

Posted on November 6, 2017 by Skeebers

The Cardinals and 49ers met for the second time this season and the results were pretty much the same. A deadly boring contest which Arizona won. 49er fans were apparently expecting this sort of performance, as the stadium was only…

Eagles 33, 49ers 10

Posted on October 30, 2017 by Skeebers

What can I say? Another fun day in 49erville, as the boys ran their record to a clean 0-8, doggedly keeping pace with the Cleveland Browns in the empty barrel division. The 49ers are getting better and better at getting…

Washington 26, 49ers 24

Posted on October 16, 2017 by Skeebers

Another week, another last second loss. The 49ers have developed an uncanny ability to almost, but not quite, win. Perhaps they will soon develop an uncanny ability to almost, but not quite, lose. It might have to wait a couple…

Cardinals 23, 49ers 20

Posted on November 14, 2016 by Skeebers

Phew! That was close. The 49ers almost blew their shot at history on Sunday afternoon, but in the final two minutes of the game, they rallied to let Carson Palmer lead the Cardinals on a 12 play, 62 yard drive…

Lame Owners’ Bowl

Posted on September 29, 2016 by Skeebers

The Jeckyll and Hyde 49ers return home this weekend to play the Cowboys, hoping the Doctor is in and not the other guy. The howls have already begun to yank Blaine Gabbert and try one of the other bust QBs…

Panthers 46, 49ers 27

Posted on September 19, 2016 by Skeebers

The 49ers dusted off the old rope-a-dope strategy Sunday versus Carolina by lulling the Panthers to sleep with an endless stream of three and out punts, counting on the Panthers to get careless with the ball. It worked! They got…

Long Odds

Posted on June 5, 2016 by Skeebers

Your faithful scribe has been offline for a couple of weeks. In my absence, the 49ers have apparently been flying under the radar also, content to remain inconspicuous while the Warriors, Sharks, and Giants capture the attention of the Bay…
