I thought it was a bad idea to pay Brock Purdy $50M+/year because he's had three arm injuries, so I admit my reasoning was wrong on this one.

What a disastrous year for Jauan Jennings. Once he started complaining he became one of the team's worst players.

The Sharks were a lot more entertaining than the Warriors tonight.

It isn’t a Niners game without a serious injury.

Refs trying to protect Jaxson Dart from himself. Weak call.

Appreciate the 49ers' defense learning their lesson from last week. Just let the opposing offense score quickly so you aren't on the field as long.

Joe Davis pretending to be impartial is one of my favorite subplots of this World Series.

Today’s NFL slate was bad enough to make one wonder how this sport became the national pastime.

The Niners draft a running back every year and none of them do anything. Isaac Guerendo is entrenched in the doghouse and Jordan James is inactive every week. Maybe Kyle should stop drafting running backs.

The Skyy Moore experiment is working out exactly the way everyone expected. Poorly

The Jets are at the top of the list.

Mac Jones isn't a top-tier QB but he is tough. The offensive line isn't great, the receivers are below average and he seems like he can barely walk, but he still makes plays.

If I'm Demeco, I'm not letting Stroud throw another pass today. The Niners are thin up front and the Niners are a Stroud INT away from stealing a game they have no business winning.

I just said the same thing lol

That was a hell of a throw, too. This team is weird

26.10.2025 19:20 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

But at least he's complaining a lot lol

He'll get a shot, but he's more valuable to the Niners than he would be to pretty much any other team. He's on borrowed time.

Jauan Jennings is having one of the worst contract years I can remember. He might be out of the league next year at this rate.

Sounds about right if you think about the guys who are on IR all season.

Stroud just faked a handoff to no one and it didn't matter

The least surprising stat ever, mixed with Fox’s sad injury piano heading to a commercial break

The Niners didn't even care about this game but the Texans are doing their best to squander it lol

Definitely a "we're 5-2 so let's just let it ride instead of throwing Brock and Ricky to the wolves" game

At this point, the Niners' main goal might be to get out of this game without losing Mac Jones to an injury caused by subpar o-line play. Quick throws, screens, etc. That's probably why they didn't throw Brock in there. Houston's defense is so good.

Oh man, so bad. Houston isn't that different from Cleveland. With a competent offense, they'd be a no-doubt playoff team.

Yep, the rookies getting dinged up isn't helping. Warner turns so many explosive plays into 6-yard gains just by diagnosing the mess-ups and cleaning them up.
