Just to try and work this out... if this is a 4 week injury they should not put him on IR. He has to miss 4 games not 4 weeks going on IR. With the bye in the middle 4 games from now would be the Whiners on December 13th more than a month away. But obviously if it's greater than 4 weeks i guess pointless.

Bleh, just a suck of a season with the injury luck. All teams have these kind of seasons every so often. We've had two in recent memory. Couldn't have come on a worse season though. Cardinals and Chiefs are both beat up and beatable with our defense. Packers are going to be hard without the ability to put up points. Optimistically we could be 7-5 when meeting Whiners... maybe we can get everyone else back by then at least.


I think its technically possible Davante could be back for the Chiefs game....I believe that would be 6 weeks, which was the low end of that time frame.

Rams won a championship without significant injuries. OBJ was injured during the SB where he was clearly headed for the MVP, but they still survived to win the title without him for most of the game. It's all about team health.
 
Half glass full comment: this forces McVay to get creative, go back to the drawing board, and innovate again.

Let’s see what some of the rookies can do.

Maybe, just maybe, we’ll have to accept that, if we’re gonna win at all this season, it’ll be because of our defense and boring run the ball, maintain TOP, kind of offense.

I think we’re capable of that. Will it happen? I don’t know.
 
They, obviously, need to bring in WR help.. now.
They have one game they should still win.. and a bye before GB.
If they haven’t upgraded the WR room by then, I think the season will be over.

The 49ers have receiver problems with all those injuries. Yet, they have no problems putting up points. Why? Better coach? Better system? Better quarterback?
The 49ers have three hall of famers on offense—all still playing great football—plus Purdy. They’ve had injuries but that roster is still absolutely loaded.

Stafford simply looks lost with the other receivers. No confidence. Not on the same page. I think just bringing in an unfamiliar receiver won't necessarily fix that. Stafford thrives with familiarity. It took awhile to click with Davante.

I am not saying don't bring someone in. I am just saying they need a more immediate solution.

They have no choice now but to try to win games with the run game, their tight ends and defense. Will they be able to make that work? I don't know.

OBJ got targets 4 days after being acquired,
Rams had a bye the next week.
10 targets the week after that.
 
Smh this guy is always hurt, smh

I guess my POST yesterday is more relevant??

Why Mcvay had him run up the middle on that last offensive series??

Last year against Detroit he did a similar thing that put Davonte at risk when he FINALLY was getting healthy. We saw how BAD The Rams suffer without Puka & Adams.

T. Ferguson is hopefully coming back this week,but PArkisan keeps getting banged up as well.

I had dogs that would NEVER slow down when it came to heart & say just chasing a ball.Like Puka & Davonte there going to go all out.
Just tossing it & play catch can be as easy as toss & release.Let them feel good & work it back in a more controlled environment
