Good job bass, just give them momentum and let them hang around

See my rankings above. Our lists are exactly the same. I think we’re heading to a SF/Cin SB with SF hoisting the trophy up

You have the correct teams. My power rankings in order of likelihood to win it all: Niners (best roster) Cincinnati (best weapons) KC (best qb) Bills (josh Allen/ lackluster defense) Philly (injuries at the wrong time/ no trust in hurts)

This defense can’t stop Mac Jones and some of you think they can compete with burrow and Mahomes lol

These plays are why it’s ok to say burrow and especially Mahomes are better.

Worst of all, by ignoring the o line and WRs, they’ve left josh and Diggs with no help

The defense has sucked for a while or have you not been watching

Thanks. I said it and got yelled at. Bengals were not going to punt once against us Monday night.

This is a great point. Every single thing we do seems so difficult. Crazy catches, josh running for his life, etc. To me it’s just a lack of true weapons and the decision to not invest in the oline, leaving us with josh having to be Superman each week

You would think. But you can’t plan anything for Aiyuk, CMC, Deebo, and kittle. Purdy doesn’t have to do much. CMC with Shanahan should be illegal

49ers and Bengals

I got yelled at on here for suggesting the bills were about to run out of the building. Our pass d is non existent and will continue to be with frazier.

And they’re about to go up 10-0. Granted Lamar isn’t playing but bengals weapons are just incredible. No idea how you stop them.

Frazier sucks so much. It’s amazing that we have invested so much significant draft capital at the expense of giving josh weapons and our defense still sucks.

This 100%. Yes we shut the bears down pretty well after the first drive but this is where stats lie and there’s no context. Thinking “because we stopped the bears after the scripted first drive, we would adjust and stop the bengals” is moronic. The bears and bengals aren’t even playing the same sport in terms of offensive talent. The bengals WRs are the best in the league and burrow is the most accurate qb in the league. I was at the game. We had NO SHOT at stopping them. Without Von, we can’t get to burrow and our DBs just can’t keep up. “Well the Patriots were able to stop them later and make a comeback”. That involved the bengals shootings themselves in the foot which wasn’t happening Monday night. It’s ok to say the Bengals are a really bad matchup for us. Honestly I’d much rather play the chiefs than them for sure.

If they win tonight they’re not losing to NE

Huge ramifications on this game. Win and you’re the 1 seed and get to rest up. Lose and you’re the 3 and setting yourself up to play the ravens round 1 and then having to win back to back road games at Cincinnati and KC to get to the SB. Tough task to ask of Josh to do all that so tonight is massive. Early thoughts on the game: Josh is going to have to be Superman as usual. Bengals have the best WRs in the league and they’re REALLY GOOD at 50/50 balls. We are not good at those especially Dane Jackson. Josh has to play lights out to keep up. Bills have to feed Diggs. Bengals DBs are pretty suspect at times so gotta find Diggs and keep up with Burrow. Bills have run the ball well lately but this is not the week to focus on it. Reader is the best DT against the run in the league. Sprinkle it in some to stay honest but it can’t be a focus of this team. Can’t consistently be in 2nd or 3rd and long because we tried to force the run. Bengals RT being out should be advantage Bills. Rousseau has to take advantage. This can’t be stated enough. With the massive disadvantage we are at trying to cover Chase/Higgins/Boyd, the pass rush has to get home some. Man, I miss Von. What adjustments will Big Lou (bengals d coord) come up with? He’s been incredible slowing down KC and Mahomes. What does he have planned for josh? Guessing they plan to only rush 3 and double Diggs and force josh to figure out how to use everyone else. Who else can step up at times? That said, Spencer Brown can not continue getting josh killed. A turnover from a strip sack or something and this game could get ugly. Gotta man up. Lastly, I hope frazier doesn’t just scheme up his normal lazy defense. You gotta speed burrow up and get him to mane mistakes. He’s probably the most accurate QB in the league but can make mistakes when sped up. He will pick us apart all night if given time to just stand back there. This game is too tough to call hence the 1 point spread. My early guess is Bengals 34 Bills 30 but I could see it getting ugly like 37-20 with a couple bad josh moments and us unable to stop chase too. Hoping Josh does josh things though and Bass hits a FG to win it!

I’ll be there. I love an hour north of Cincinnati. There’s a surprising number of bills fans in the area. Lots of chatter that bills mafia will have a good showing tonight. That said there’s no comparison to bengals fans and the pathetic raiders fans. Plus it’s Vegas and not really their home and Niners fans used that as a nice fun weekend getaway. I expect 75/25 tonight maybe a little more

He’s why they’re winning the SB. And can we clear up all the discussion about it being a lot of assets? He’s the best RB in the league and it’s not even close when you consider the system he’s in now. They gave up a 2, 3, and 4 this year, and a 5 next year. Sounds like a lot until you realize they had assets to play with considering they got comp picks for losing minority coaches. That’s free assets. Considering Carolina wanted multiple 1sts at the start of the trade deadline, I’d say SF fleeced them. And the injury concerns weren’t a real thing. He wanted out of Carolina. His family has deep ties to the Shanahans. He’s obviously all in. Only the bills and chiefs have better odds to win the SB and it’s a slight advantage. Just gotta pray eagles get healthy so we don’t have to play SF in the Super Bowl.

Niners are done fooling around. They’re the 2 seed now and might be the 1 seed after next week. Niners are actually the betting favorite out of the nfc as of now

He was never that good to start with

They’re in a different tier from us. Hate if you want but there’s a solid chance we get blown out next monday

These are all great stats but they’re just that, stats. Stats will also tell you we have a pretty good defense but my eyes tell me in clutch situations they’re going to falter. I base that off Von being injured and Frazier not being good of course. Agree the 49ers schedule has been easy and that’s part of why I liked them as a bet with good value. Maybe it’s just 30+ years off watching the bills crumble that’s got me worried too, who knows. I just think the best roster will win out. Hopefully I’m wrong though and josh carries us all the way.

This. I’d like to think that it’s a matter of time before the ball bounces our way but I don’t even get excited when the other team fumbles because I know they’ll just get it back. When we fumble I know it’s going to bounce to them though. Forcing the fumble isn’t luck but which direction the oddly shaped ball bounces is all luck. And we have no good luck. Not forcing turnovers just means josh has to always be Superman and perfect on nearly every drive. Our passive defensive philosophy is stupid in that our goal shouldn’t be to allow the other team to drive down the field. We should be looking to get the ball back however we can go josh. It’s why I can’t in my mind see us winning it all. It holds us back too often and ultimately will be our downfall.

How exactly? Who is blocking Bosa? They only need to rush 4 and double Diggs. We have no other legit true options. Josh would have to literally be Superman. On the flip side, do you trust our defense to get stops? We let Mostert run all over us, what do you think CMC would do? We can’t tackle so what do you think their YAC machine would do to us? You couldn’t create a worse matchup in a lab for us to play against.
