The defense will be fine, they will make their adjustments and be better for it. They could have contained the run better but our secondary made big plays. And once Aldon and Bowman are back, forget it.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

I need to see more out of Betha. With Golson gone and Whitner gone. Lost a bunch of that pop from the safety position. I will never forget Whitner taking out Pierre Thomas on the Goaline of the NFC Divisional game. He was out before he hit the ground.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

How long before Betha gets injured? :FF:

Good Monday night games though.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

I have high expectations for Bethea, haven't really seen much from him yet.

MISS GOLDSON unfortunately you just can't keep everybody. "Hitner" was awesome too, but he would sometimes get burned in coverage.

I really liked what I saw from our secondary, I would love to see it hold up vs better teams.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Week 1 done - week 2 in effect. Teams shaping up. Scandals in effect

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Niners looked like Doo Doo. Kapernick is a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ staring down receivers. 9-7 season. Defense is too depleted and you don't have a real QB.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

That 4th quarter comeback by the Bears was garbage - defense too depleted is right

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

It will be very interesting. I hardly wait to see what will happen with scandals.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Niners had a terrible game, kap especially. J martin was garbage protection, our d looked depleted in the second half , and kaeps performance is on him, just a bad game that he needs to shake off. Our OC puts the icing on the cake with his bad play calling. He needs to be fired. He frustrates me so much sometimes.

Saying kaep isnt a real qb is jumping the gun off of a terrible, terrible game. Not to beat a dead horse, but eli manning was benched before he got two super bowl mvps. Im looking for consistency, and although i did not like what happened vs the bears i dont forget the wins kaep has gotten us either. I got my faith in him, but i understand where the criticism is coming from. He has a lot to prove, especially from the pocket.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Not to mention 118 yards given up on penalties! They need to clean up their act and move on. A statement needs to be made
In Their game vs the cardinals this sunday.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Cardinals shouldnt be too bad of a challenge

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

How about those cowboys! Flaky azz fortywhiners

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

It will be will interesting vs the cardinals! I wonder what will happen.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

considering they are playing against the cardinals' backup QB, it would be a real slap in the face to be 1-2 after this sunday. Kaep needs a stellar game, silence the critics.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

lol they have been to the post season the past 3 years. they have been consistently good when you look at overall seasons. not saying their performance this past sunday was excusable, but good teams have bad games.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Agree - just seems like they are stagnant due to not much player changes. Their cap is affecting them

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

It's all about the bulls and my boy watkins out of CLEMSON!

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Another fail by the 49ers...ugh 1-2.

Good comeback by the Cowboys - tied for biggest comeback in franchise history vs Rams

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

The 49ers play calling amazes me. Cardinals were blitzing every time and our OC still has our WR running deep routes. Where is our OCs head at? Do quick passes, short routes. They KNOW they are blitzing! And another 100+ yard given up on penalties. The 30 yards for the two QB hits against the 49ers killed us. And yet another scoreless second half.

With Cardinals 3-0 and Seahawks beating Denver, it is going to be a tough road ahead for the 49ers. I wish they let our OC go. He is terrible, just terrible. He doesn't know how to make adjustments.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

I like the postgame look with the headphones and the garbage carved out in his head. Good image for a storied franchise like the 49ers. Guy almost threw another Pick 6 today. Sooner than later teams are going to start returning those to the house.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Haha thanks for starting my morning with a laugh

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Kaepernick was 29-of-37 with 245 passing yards and a 103.3 quarterback rating. He also led the 49ers with 54 rushing yards on 13 carries. I'll take it.

There's people who blame kap, and people who blame the OC. I blame the OC. I want Greg Roman fired. Arizona was BLITZING. IT'S OBVIOUS THEY WERE BLITZING! Why do you have your QB looking down the field and your WRs running deep routes?! Just throw quick passes and get it off. Really, our play-calling is trash.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Kapernick sucks. What a moron calling that time out. I wonder who did his homework in college.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Well...they got the last game over the Eagles.

Packers over the Bears was something

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Chiefs sure skunked the Patriots.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

That was brutal - Brady had nothing

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

totally agree, there has got to be more discipline, though Harbaugh blamed himself in the post-game interviews.

Lol Brady got benched, what a rare sight.

Really looking forward to 49ers vs chiefs.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

SF defense has been iffy...could be a rout by the Chiefs

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Its so dumb how the media is only focusing on brady having a bad game...........not the fact that they are NOT praising a team that barley lost to peyton manning in denver with 5 key starters out (3 of them pro bowl players) lol and cruised by miami on the road and then crushed new england with one of the worst blowouts in ne history with still 4 key starters out and (2 of them pro bowl players.)

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

I had an ugly divorce with the 49ers after 25 years. Rooted for the Ravens to beat the 49ers in the SB. Became a Chiefs fan for the third time in my life. Montana, Gerbac now Smith. I am sticking on this side now after last year.

I was surprised how well the defense has played. Andy Reid called an amazing old school physical football game on offense. That looked like the 49ers in 2011 and 2012. Run the ball and play smash mouth then play solid physical defense.

49ers look like dummy's. Back to the SB vs Ravens. You have 3 chances on the goaline to run it in with Frank Gore but you settle for 3 low % fade routes to Crabtree. That is why the 49ers lost the Superbowl. They are idiots. Jim Harbaugh might as well give his challenge flag to someone else. 30% success rate. It is time Harbaugh is fired and Tomsula is hired as head coach. Dump Kapernick too he can't make a read to save his life.

Should have had a pick 6 to lose it in Wild Card game vs Packers but was dropped. Has another pick 6 in the Carolina Playoff game but was dropped. Then at Seattle they caught them. Then Arizona two weeks and another pick 6 dropped. Then the Eagles finally caught one. This guy is a scrub, even the Frank Gore TD that is where you tell you QB great play but never throw a pass like that again because usually it is a pick 6. Then the idiotic timeout. Kapernick has the brain of a hamster. Please get rid of this moron.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Haha vogeltron you turncoat :FF:

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

If the would release Kapernick, fire Harbaugh and Jed York would take his Diaper off and act like his uncle. Then maybe I could be a fan again. This was an ugly divorce for me. I get more satisfaction watching the 49ers lose than any other team in the NFL win.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Well...as long as you get some enjoyment...:d

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

I'm a little late on this but... It's up to the QB to adjust the play at the line and throw to his "hot read" (usually a receiver on a slant or a short route that gets open quickly) if they recognize a blitz. The OC can no longer talk to the QB through the headset as it shuts off with 15 seconds left on the playclock. Neither can he quite predict what the defense is doing before he calls a play.

He wasn't playing too well but I wouldn't say he got "benched." They took him out cause they don't want him getting hurt. With no offensive line to protect him, they certainly don't want him getting hit in garbage time.

The Pats have serious problems on o-line, at WR, and with coaching (everything from the game-plans, defensive schemes, and offensive playcalling are horrid) Making their promising 2nd round draft pick, Dobson, a healthy scratch. Trading their best o-lineman, Mankins. Using a pass-catching, in-space type of RB (Vereen) to run up the middle instead of Ridley. Using their $12 million cornerback Revis, to play zone and off-man. The best corners like him are supposed to line up face to face with the other team's best WR and play press-man coverage. They have him doing other useless crap that isn't suiting his skillset well, same with many other players.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Thursday night was alright for action

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Vogeltron why no hate for the OC Roman? Harbaugh has gone to 3 NFC championships and one sb since he has taken over. Thats pretty successful.

Mcmx, kaep can audible and He can call the protection schemes, but if he's given formations that cant pick up the blitz what can he do?

Also it doesnt take a football genius to know arizone was going to blitz before setting up at the line. They were blitzing all day. You can watch the game at home and recognize the high probability of them blitzing before they lined up.

Fire greg roman. Greg roman should have been on the hot seat a long time ago.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Brady might as well have handed the chiefs the ball on a couple of
Those plays. Agree that protecting him was part of the decision to bench, but protecting
Him only becomes a good
Idea when the game is already over before the clock runs out (either because you are too far ahead or too far behind).

Hes an amazing qb, just played a terrible game.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

You are absolutely right about Greg Roman. They lost the Superbowl because of his play calling. Who throws three low percentage fade routes to as Richard Sherman put it "sorry receiver like Crabtree that is the result you are going to get". Well they got it. You have Frank Gore and the ground and pound.

Also I would say that 49ers team that was went to 3 NFC Championship teams was built by Mike Nolan and Mike Singletary and their ground and pound philosophy. It was Harbaugh who was able to take an offensive line with a ton of first round picks and do a few different things with it. He deserves credit for that.

Kapernick was like the Wild Cat. The read option was this new thing that was cool. Then the NFL like it always does learns how to defend it. Any way you put it Kapernick can not go through a progression he stares down receivers. You are going to see more and more interceptions unless the 49ers start running more. I never see Kapernick becoming a pocket passer like Randall Cunnigham did in Minnesota. That is the only player like that to make the change, maybe Steve Young to an extent.

The Chiefs in my opinion got the steal with Alex Smith. He has the higher football IQ without a doubt. The 49ers a few losses away from having the entire thing implode.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

Right on with this - let's see how Alex Smith brings it to the 49ers on Sunday

Re: NFL/NCAA Football Talk - 2014-15 Season
 

I'm on vacation in texas and am going to the texas state fair when the game will be on :( I'm very upset about this.
