Bummer with the shootout loss. I personally thought Jarvis and svech had pretty good moves - there goalie just made some good saves. Hall, on the other hand, was pathetic on his attempt

Tied up

Gotta wonder if Smitty's brain has turned to mush with how hard he played in the NFL

Chuba's problem for the games he looked bad is that he looked hesitant and didn't know where to run. He actually seemed to be thinking less and just running Sunday, which helped.

I think one of them (maybe Rozeboom) is the green dot responsibility and calling our plays, so they can't come out. ATL is a tougher matchup also because they have big bodied receivers (I think that is why Smith-Wade rode the bench a lot of the game). My bigger problem was Evero reverting back to his old self only calling the same cover 3 drop the entire 1st half. Played way too far back off the line of scrimmage and ATL just kept sneaking a curl route (usually London) in under a corner/go route and it was always open. Evero finally changed up the scheme in the 2nd half and the D actually looked somewhat competent (also helped Penix got hurt)

I feel like TD is the rare exception to someone suffering 3 ACL injuries and somehow coming back to be a dominant player for years afterwards. Probably not looking good for Brooks being a contributor. ACL injuries for a RB, where you constantly have to plant and be a 1-cut RB, makes it even more unlikely

Didn't see who all was out there on ATL's last minute drive for the tying FG, but you can't just throw all safeties and corners out there in the back 7 when ATL is running the ball for like 8 yards a carry against us... And you still want a LB or 2 out there in case ATL runs a screen or sneaks a run. Unfortunately for us, Wallace + Ransom being hurt didn't let us go with our usual Big Nickel package with 3 corners, 3 safeties, and Wallace in the back 7

While the Bucs schedule is definitely easier than ours, they have definitely been reeling of late and Baker seems to have come back down to Earth a bit (largely in part of the injuries). I'll be shocked if they beat the Rams and could see them losing to a Cardinals team I think is better than their record shows. Dolphins game could be a tricky one for them also - they have played pretty well at home. But yeah, they will likely have the division record advantage over us if we split with them because they likely beat NO and ATL. I think we have to get to 10 wins to have any chance of making the playoffs - best chance of doing that is winning NO and SF and then either sweeping Tampa or beating the Seahawks + splitting with Tampa. Now that I look at it, I think our only chance really is sweeping Tampa. That home loss to NO badly hurt our playoff chances...

I'll guess 31-23 49ers with us getting a garbage time TD late to make it look closer than it is

Give him credit for the game winning drives he has led. Also, realize that we wouldn't have needed a GWD in most of those games if he wasn't complete ass the first 3.5 quarters of the game

Helps when you are the underdog in every game you play in a season outside of 1 (which sadly was an embarrassingly bad blowout loss at home)

That sounds like every game for us...

I don't know - SF is pretty banged up on defense and somehow is as bad as we are at rushing the passer. Somehow the 49ers didn't get 1 sack Sunday, despite Brissett throwing the ball 57 times. I think Seattle and LA are much worse matchups for us. Think we are going to have to win in a high scoring game if we do win Monday though

Saw a replay of that Kucci save in the first period. That was a crazy good save and unbelievable awareness to realize that the bruins skater was coming open from the back boards

This was all part of Bryce's master plan. Play like complete ass for three and a half quarters (most of his games), then play one good drive at the end to win it for us.

For as small and frail as he looks, dude is definitely tough. He may suck, but I don't think anybody can question how tough he is

How did Brissett throw for 450 yards (47/57 passing) and the Cardinals lose by 19...

Yeah, I have shifted from LB being our top need to edge rusher being out top need.

2 things that stood out from the game yesterday: 1) Zavala should not be on an NFL roster. If we don't want to start Corbett at RG, let Curhan go then. Practically anybody is better than Zavala 2) What was up with DC's obsession of only running the ball to right side. Icky is arguably the best run blocking tackle in the league and we all know Lewis is elite - DC decides screw that, lets run it behind Zavala every play....

Probably gonna end badly for us. Wish we could have played SF earlier in the year when their entire team outside of CMC was practically injured

If we can somehow change our schedule to playing only ATL on the road every single week for the next 5 years, give Bryce a 5 year supermax contract now...

Glad the D held them to 6 points in the 2nd half, but let's also recognize that the Falcons dropped like 5 passes in the 2nd half/OT. I started rooting for ATL to screw up more than us to make a play on defense because I don't think our D really did that much in the 2nd half

Yep, this is the one game the Bryce fanboys can absolutely talk poo to the rest of us. Dude played a great game and single-handedly won us the game

Yeah, I'm ready to take Zavala out back and shoot him... Dude is absolute trash

Well said and agreed. I've honestly been wanting changes to our scheme on offense and this is definitely the first week I've seen that all year. Also agree - let me see the same level of effectiveness against the 49ers and then I'll start ringing the bell that I was wrong on saying Bryce is a bum
