Great win for the Niners. They are showing a lot of character since the crushing loss to the Cardinals. The defense finally coming through in an end game situation was huge. The invisible LB Azeez Al-Shaair has made some big plays…
20 plays, 87 yards, 13 minutes. Amazing opening drive by the Niners. Followed by a Jaguars 3 and out. End of quarter number one. Next time the Jaguars got the ball, they fumbled it away. It was 17-0 before they…
There’s something seriously wrong with this team. Some teams are better than the sum of their parts, but the 49ers are worse. There’s no way they should be this dysfunctional and erratic.
As the sun sets on the brief Jimmy Garoppolo era and we begin the Trey Lance regime, I’ve decided to throw in the towel on my weekly commentary and just enjoy the games without needing to do a write-up afterward. As most…
Nice try, but no ceegar. Before the season started, the secondary was clearly viewed as the weak link on the team. It was hoped that the front seven would be overpowering enough to cover up for this deficiency. And that…
Sunday’s game was as ugly as a Mike Singletary game plan. In fact, that’s exactly what it was. Kudos to Kyle Shanahan for eschewing his ego and going with the smash-mouth approach. The 49ers had a superior team and let the full…
That was a lot of fun, until it wasn’t. Tough to score 41 points and be the least impressive NFC West win of the day. The Rams, Seahawks, and Cardinals all routed some very good teams. The 49ers squeaked by…
For a preseason game, Sunday’s trashing of the Raiders was quite entertaining. It’s always fun to crush the Raiders, of course, but using a shuttle system at QB as misdirection while running the ball down their throats was a Kyle Shanahan…
NFL Football returned to our domiciles last week and was eagerly devoured by hungry fans everywhere. Normally, watching second and third stringers scrimmage against each other is not must see TV, but 49er fans were particularly intrigued with seeing number…
The offseason wheezes out the door tomorrow, taking its annual break from boring us all to death. So long, Nothingburger, see you in February. The first order of business after the players check in will be to find out who’s…
At this point in the offseason, “no news is good news” rules the day. It means no 49er has broken any of his precious bodily parts or been arrested for some type of bad behavior. There’s been quite a bit…
The OTAs have come and gone. This year’s version was cut short prematurely, skipping the mini-camp portion of events after the league took away the final “volunteer” day as punishment for a rookie CB making contact with a WR during…
The OTAs are underway, with about 90% attendance from the players who gave lip service to the NFLPA’s edict to boycott these “voluntary” work outs but clearly value their jobs over their union solidarity. Wise choice, lads. After all, there’s…
The 2021 Schedule will be released this Wednesday. In the meantime, here’s a plug for longtime Outsider member NJ49er, who’s stumbled into a little side business lately. In his words: “What started as a unique image for my motorcycle seat, has garnered…
After a month of letting the media and NFL “expert insiders” with “highly reliable sources” convince all of us that the 49ers were going to select Mac Jones as their QB of the future, Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch saved us all from befuddled…
Another four days until we find out which QB the 49ers will be selecting with the number three pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. It’s been a month since the team traded a bucketful to move up to that number…
John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan certainly put some pop into the normally ho-hum activities of the second week of Free Agency last week, trading two number one picks and a third to move up from the number 12 pick to the…
