Typical 49 er game. They are really tough to defend. The big play over the top was a killer. You need to force Purdy to sustain a drive. Offensive line looks pretty good. Miners are sitting back and trying to take away the deeper patterns so Stafford needs to take what they give him and hit some screens. Nobody expects anything more than a tough game when these two teams get together.
 
I think they will be a completely different team week 2 MNF. Question is can they get they act together in this game and not piss away an important divisional game.
 
I actually feel pretty good where we are right now. Sure we’ve had some bad throws and some mistiming stuff, but overall, I like the way the defense is playing. We made a little bit of adjustments with the quick game already including the 20,000 screens. But be prepared for more of that. They’re gonna keep it short and close and we need to be ready to tackle and look for everything underneath. Let’s get it.
 
Hate the Niners. Their strengths on offense really negate ours on D - all those short throws, screens, running back as receiver, etc. It's designed to get the ball out quick in space and pick up YAC.

Disappointed a bit in the D, sure, but they have not had much help form the other side of the ball. Pass blocking has been noticeably bad against a decent front seven. Not sure Stafford would survive a game like this against an elite front. Really like to see us use the tight ends in the passing game more, steal a page from the 69ers and use the short passing game to get him in rhythm.

Big series to start the second half. Definitely need a stop and then find some consistency on offense.
 
Rams can turn the momentum of the game with a stop and some points. Hope they come out and do just that. More runs and quicker passes to get the ball moving and staff in a grove

First half analysis.....run game looks good, pass game not so much. Stafford needs to take what the defense is giving him to catch them cheating up later on. Interior D line not doing their job against the run game. Pass rush non existent but defense is also playing some of that cushion zone defense I'm not a fan off so Purdy is getting the ball out quick. D line and LBs needs to do a better job of identifying those screen plays, they did just ok there. We all know the Rams tend to start slow which is annoying but lets wake up team. I cannot take hearing Whiner fans bragging about a win. It would be so fucking annoying considering I live in NCal.
 
49ers have twice as many first downs. More total yards. Owned time of possession. No penalties. Even with one less drive than the Rams.

I suppose the only good thing is we're only down by 3 points. And we're usually a good second half team.

Whatever happens today its a long season. First game is not make or break. But if we lose all the talk will be how we're so good on paper but not on the field. Overrated will come up a lot. Maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing. People will stop proclaiming us the champs. And we can get on with playing football without all the expectations.
