Patrick Duffy

While I am skeptical, I feel this way too regarding the defense. You have to think they are pissed and ready to make a statement since they were embarrassed last week. That being said, another let down definitely wouldn't surprise me either.

I don't know if I'd go quite that far. Obviously there were similar thoughts about them last year.

Absolutely!!....Hard for me to see Bills losing to them once again.

Not making any excuses for him here, but speaking of just the Rams game in particular, when any DL doesn't even get close enough to make the QB hurry his throw all game then it's much harder for everyone in the back end. Same could be said for much of the defense

For me personally, I haven't seen enough yet to judge either way..... Bernard said he looked like the old Malino not long ago though,

Well, I think it's not much difference one way or the other in level of concern either way.

What guy was that ?

Yes, it's beyond the point that it became a frustrating issue because it's been an ongoing occurrence. Obviously it happens once in a while, but this many times with the same player involved is concerning

Why would one assume that? I mean he's going to be eased in on a limited amount of snaps. Not anything that would warrent that assumption imo

I want to believe you're being sarcastic, but can be difficult to tell at times. But I really hope you don't need this explained to you

Well yeah, it's different... but I've seen nothing but positive things that he's shown in both, so just curious why you would feel concerned about him being in game shape?

Why?> It was an arm injury he's been recovering from. Don't see how the "footing" would make any risk in that regard by him playing. I can't help but question what is it that you believe is giving you a reason to feel concerned about Milano not being in game shape? He's done nothing but put in the work to the limit so what makes you concerned about him not being in game shape?

Don't know about everyone but I'd rather see the Chargers win

Yeah I get it, it's just still somehwhat surprising that to see them at 5-6. Considering all those issues I would have predicted either 7-4 or 6-5. Just wouldn't have thought they'd be below .500 at this point in the season anyway.

Congrats!! Yeah it's been kinda surprising the way the 49ers have been thus far. I wonder what the main reason for it? Injuries always plays a part, but even then it's still surprising a little bit since they have struggled a bit more than I would have thought.

Really, that's crazy. I don't think I can recall any team having 4 straight home games in a row. Seen 3 in a row, but never seen 4 that I can remember. Not saying it hasn't happened, but I can't think of any teams schedule having 4 straight home games and I've seen many of schedules in my day. I don't have the best memory either these days so that's probably it. But either way, it's got to be pretty rare thing for a team getting 4 home games in a row at any point in a season right?

Not to speak for the poster you quoted, but I believe there are many that feel like it's hard to have a whole lot of respect for them when considering what they've done against teams with winning records. I mean there's respect for them, but only to a certain extent. But I'd say that's the case for many people when viewing the Fins from that particular standpoint and not quite as much who simply, "view a hated rival through buffalo glasses", or "only a biased Fan"

Well, I wouldn't say shocked, but it would surprise me a bit if they missed the playoffs. However I would also be glad

Just my 2 cents here, as I mentioned in a previous post if any game that one might consider them in desperation mode, it's the last 2 games against a division rival and yesterday against a NFC opponent. Both are much more important than against the AFC Bills

I tend to agree here in regards to the bold, those claiming that 49ers are in desperation mode against the Bills doesn't make much sense to me. I would say the games against Seahawks in their division as much more important along with yesterday vs Packers which also is an NFC opponent that would be considered more of a "desperation mode" than against an AFC opponent in the Bills.

I'm not so sure that is the case. I mean it's just Monday so I would assume it's too early to determine whether or not if Purdy will play imo. Also the line can change any time between now and Friday. It's more of a "guess" imo

Well because it's really not....only 6 more games. That's not much.

It looked to me as a "sarcastic" type clap, like "yay, yeah you guys got us in the regular season again" type clap. JMO

That and on the defensive side with missing some on the DL with injuries was a bit more challenging when having to defend a running game featuring J. Taylor

And some thought this was only a Leslie Frazier thing lol
