2017 Week 3 - Rams @ 49ers Pre-Game Thread
49ers 34
Rams 14
Hyde & Breida run wild, Hoyer is a golden domed god and Goodwin catches a ball
--------
Hoyer throws for 300 and 2 tds
---------
If we can score a TD I'll consider that a win for us.
---------
we will lose this game 24-9. afterwards all hoyer and coach aka jr will say... we are disappointed .
-------
Honestly if you lose to the Rams on thursday, might as well just pack up the season and tank for Sam Darnold.
---------
my opinion... we will continue to be impotent on offense. we will continue to not be ready to play the game., our offense led by hoyer and a garbage offensive line will continue to struggle. the defense will be respectable but just like last year. our 30 second drives will wear them out and we will lose 24-9.... there is my opinion. you do not like it. that is your problem
---------
We always try to enjoy the game, the problem is 3 and outs and few FGs only go so far in entertainment level.
---------
The Rams defense has Wade Phillips and Donald but it's not as good as Seattle and Carolina.
We will score a touchdown on Thursday. If we don't I will join your depression. Unless we win without scoring a touchdown. Then I'll probably just laugh instead.
---------
I also don't have any expectations for this year. I want them (players and coaches) to grow and not get hurt lol but yeah everyone who thinks the offense is going to turn into a scoring machine is delusional (and the Rams defense is also good). This season and next off-season will test the coaches and front office so lets see.
-------
i really thought he would be at least respectable. maybe not a play maker. but geez i really thought he would be the stabilizing force we have not had back there since alex. i just think sometime give cj a shot. knowing . in my opinion he is not the answer. then sign cousins. maybe keep hoyer. that is a big maybe. and cj for competition next year. then trade that overall 1sr 2dn 3rd or 4th round pick we will have., in my opinion.,,. and fill a boatload of holes
---------
i thought i was realistic and optimistic at four wins. now i say two. but if this continues.. a theory floated by sus of zero wins is possible.., i think the colts and frank would kill us now. just like the browns did two years ago
---------
I think Hoyer wont have to face a vaunted secondary like seattles, he gets Rams secondary. I predict at least 2 TD throws and more passes downfield if Rams want to load the box to stop Hyde and Brieda.
--------
someone brought up a good but very disturbing point yesterday. think it was a mod.. two games in a row.. hoyer has thrown a pick to the exact same player. linebacker on the exact same play.. you can not fix that in my opinion. and you do not think wade is looking at that. i swear we get guys who do their best to help the other team.
--------
that means we are counting on our wide outs to catch the damn ball, speaking of the 99 problems we have on this team
---------
what bothers me the most. we are showing no signs of improvement after four pre season games and two regular games and seem like we are going backward,, it also seems that our team is not ready to play games,,,, that makes me bats**t crazy
--------
Facts are, we still need a franchise QB, true #1 Receiver, a consistent pass rusher, and a shut-down corner to be a regular contender. Pretty much the same things we've needed since 2004. Doesn't hurt to be a little positive till then, though. You live a little bit longer that way.
---------
In the replay it shows that Hoyer was trying to manipulate the LB to gravitate towards his left which the LB was doing, as soon as Hoyer looked to his right and threw the ball, the LB read that play and wasnt fooled out by Hoyers look off then ran back to hoyers right and got the INT.
---------
ok. maybe the run defense., still not sold on secondary. and our 30 second drives just wore out the defense. i think we did decrease the penalltys so thats good. i keep telling my self i lived through the days of firing monte when we could have won the super bowl in 76, going through the oj trade, no trades, elmo black as our wide out threat after we dumped gene washington. watching holly wood henderson doing blow on the sidelines ........
and i can handle anything... but seeing we are the first team in forever to not score a touchdown in two games and considering the s**tting teams we have had .. that is so so so tough
------
No signs of improvement? Going backwards? We played better in Seattle than we did against Carolina...
--------
I think I've already resigned myself to 0-16 being likely this year. I just hope we're not the first team to go the whole season without scoring a TD, but that is starting to look like a real possibility.
-------
You bring up another point and thought I've had. Is Kyle going to be a good HC? Its a valid question. No doubt in my mind he is a great offensive mind and solid OC, but that doesn't always translate.
I was expecting a bad year and honestly I am ok with it. Lets see what these guys are made of. If they can climb from the bottom together, well maybe we finally have a staff that can bring winning back on a consistent basis. Just hope Jed doesnt F it up as usual.
Dare I say I believe Lynch may be great here - can help everyone through the ups and downs, at least that is my hope - he has that personality for sure.
This is just me trying to think glass somewhat full and light at the end of the tunnel. lol
--------
Aaron Donald vs Brandon Fusco
Hope Mag is active
-------
Yeah, but that is the problem wiht starting Magnus...Aaron Donald. Not much doubt about what he does to fusco. Man i would love to see Magnus start, but just think that is a load to take on your first game.
No point in starting him and then breaking his confidence if Donald schools him. I'm kinda torn on this one. REally want Magnus to start, but not against Donald. Would like to have him get a good start, build confidence. Not likely against donald. But i am afraid donald walks right over fusco. So, what the hey...bring on Magnus.
And remember, if OG is just a turnstile at RG, then hoyer is guarnanteed to have a bad game. IF Magnus was in there....who knows. We could at least try it. Jsut don't want to psych out Magnus on his first crack out of the box.
-------
I'll take a redo on this , a mulligan. IF, IF fusco starts, and hoyer plays 2 series with Donald sacking him, living in his backfiedl or he ends up on his back most of two series, then bring in Magnus. By that time fusco will ahve proved he can handle donald...or not. If not, bring on Magnus.
--------
If I'm Shanny, I just sit down with Hoyer and tell him to RELAX! Remind him that this is a 2 win team last year. While there are some expectations to improve, it's not like this team will be knocking on the door of the playoffs. Hoyer is in a no lose situation.
Playing the Rams should be the perfect bounce back game. They'll be bringing some heat with their front 4 no doubt but it's time for Hoyer to make some pre snap reads and deliver the ball with accuracy. No doubt Hoyer is playing tight and scared. RELAX RELAX RELAX!
This is a very winnable game but we'll need some production from Hoyer to pull it off.
-------
Shanahan has too much high expectations from Hoyer, so he's not going to tell him anything.
Just look at the playcalling. He's having him take a 5 step drop and hit people in between the numbers on deep intermediate routes like he's Matt Ryan. This is not something he's going to be able to do against good defenses. Think he's just going to go into the Rams game with the same mindset.
---------
The Rams need to be able to run the ball, despite a poor O-Line, to get their offense going. Shut down the run, and their offense should not score more than 17. If Rams score more than 17, embarrassing...
Which leads to the other issue, if we can finally score a TD. The Rams have been vulnerable against the run against some weak teams. Hyde should go over the century mark and we should run all over them.
We will know this week how good our coaches are. Win, and they are possibly competent. Lose and we got a bum staff.
---------
High of only 69° forecast for Thursday. People should actually stay in their seats this time.
--------
Yall really think we are going to lose this game?
We might just win it running Hyde and hiding Hoyer. Our defense is legit!
even Hoyer will able to find success after we start killing them with the run. Mainly because we are at home. His soft ass should be able to handle that.
