Welp. pic.twitter.com/e8hBwFclbj — Niners Nation (@NinersNation) June 5, 2015 That was posted by my buddy David Fucillo after the latest retirement, a somewhat surprising departure from the NFL and the 49ers by right tackle Anthony Davis. It’s becoming old hat, this retirement thing. We expected Justin Smith to hang ’em up, and Patrick Willis wasn’t […]
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 […]
Update (10:15 pm): I started the following Q&A with Staley after the game by asking him about the exchange seen below. Q: What were you upset about? Staley: Personal foul penalty on me. Q: Did you think you had that ball? Staley: Yeah, I had my hands on it. The guy fell on it and […]
All’s well in the land of Harbaugh. In fact, love is in the air. Post by San Francisco 49ers. “I love coach Harbaugh,” said Colin Kaepernick after the 49ers’ 22-17 win over the Chiefs. “I’d go to war with him any day of the week. He’s a competitor, he wants to win and he’s going to […]
Every instinct is telling me not to write this. But that usually makes writing something more fun, so what the hell. Let’s grab some potato sacks and take a ride on the giant county fair slide of speculation, shall we? Anthony “Bam” Davis didn’t practice for the third straight day, due to a hamstring strain. He barely practiced throughout the offseason, […]
Newly acquired offensive lineman Jonathan Martin said all the right things about his football career in a Thursday evening introductory conference call. The newest San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman said, “I have to earn my way on the team,” and that he’s “open to anything,” including spending time at either guard position for the first […]
The San Francisco 49ers didn’t make it to the Super Bowl. They got real close. Didn’t happen. They had eight Pro Bowlers. No one cares about the Pro Bowl. I only paid attention to the very end of the Pro Bowl draft so I could laugh when Alex Smith was drafted/assigned last (to team Jerry […]
The last press conference of the season started with lots of injury questions, so we’ll start with the specifics there before moving on to the parts where the back-and-forth between Jim Harbaugh and Lowell Cohn turned an unexpected compliment into a funny yet uncomfortable exchange. — NaVorro Bowman will probably undergo surgery on his torn […]
The guys in the trenches never get much credit, save the cliches we’re used to hearing when analysts are too lazy to...
No one who watched yesterday’s game in Green Bay will forget what they saw, but I felt sorry for Liz (my wife) because she barely got to see anything at all. She had to fly to Las Vegas for work, and left our apartment at 1 pm. That left me and our dog alone to […]
