The last two games of the 2014 season, which marked the end of a disappointing campaign for a team that had grown accustomed to double-digit wins and playoff excitement, presented the final opportunities to say goodbye, and thanks, to Frank Gore. Every 49ers fan, at least the ones who were being honest with themselves, knew this day […]
49ers fans who want to see Frank Gore stick around for at least one more year got some good news this week. Well, maybe. “We want him back,” Jed York told Ann Killion. “I think he wants to be here. I know he wants to be here. And I think we’ll figure out a way […]
This is coming a bit too late, since the story blew up to the point where TV stations are using the photos taken by Jesse Taylor and myself. But there are a few things that should be noted when it comes to this whole thing about the 49ers museum at Levi’s Stadium. Yes, the Jim Harbaugh exhibit that […]
“I didn’t do a good job. You know what I mean? Didn’t do a good job. [49ers director of communications Bob] Bobby [Lange] was trying to get me to go to bed that night and I didn’t. Anyway, I’m driving him crazy. He called me three times last night to make sure I went to […]
Trent Baalke held a press conference Wednesday morning. Of course he ducked the Harbaugh question and mentioned plans to meet with some of the 49ers’ big name players, such as free agents to be Michael Crabtree and Justin Smith. But what really stuck out was his response to this question about Frank Gore: How much do you think […]
We already knew Jim Harbaugh was good at Twitter from his previous foray, as chronicled (no pun intended) by Peter Hartlaub. But instead of tweets about falling off ladders while doing home repairs, or “The Rockford Files,” Harbaugh seems to be tweeting thinly veiled messages to those who he might refer to as “not-so-trusted agents.” […]
Many have said that the 49ers’ only saving grace in the upcoming season is their talented roster. This argument makes sense if you ignore the talent and corresponding roster on the 2010 squad, but insert a picture of Kermit sipping tea here. The 49ers are right up against the salary cap this season ($1.348M in […]
The 49ers were down 34-29. The Seahawks were down 28-24. The 49ers started at their own 20. The Seahawks started at their own 20. The 49ers’ first play was an eight-yard run by Frank Gore. The Seahawks’ first play was a 31-yard pass down the left sideline to Marshawn Lynch. Gore rushed 33 yards to Baltimore’s seven-yard […]
Frank Gore is all a San Francisco 49ers fan could possibly ask for. He’s displayed consistent greatness, effort and class throughout his 10-year run with the team. He’s also as tough as a two-dollar steak, and sometimes even tough guys cry. In fact, Gore is someone who has shed quite a few tears throughout his […]
The numbers tell the story of an ugly game for the 49ers. 54.4 – Colin Kaepernick’s passer rating. Ranked 32nd of his 36 regular season starts. 140.2 – Derek Carr’s passer rating. By far his best of the season, and he also set a career high in completion percentage. His 140.2 mark is 21st best so far this season. […]
The only way this one had a chance of being close was if two things happened — 1) the Broncos overlooked the 49ers and 2) Ed Donatell’s overachieving secondary somehow contained Peyton Manning and all of his receivers without the two cornerbacks who had started every game until this week. That didn’t happen, and the […]
