4.0K9Two reasons why 49ers were justifiably stubborn about using natural grass at Levi’s Stadium
When the concerns about the grass at Levi’s Stadium reached a fevered … pitch (sorry), a lot of fans and observers asked two questions. Why are they fielding so many events that have nothing to do with the 49ers if the sod is in such shoddy condition? Why don’t they just install the fake stuff and conserve […]

Next men up: four 49ers who could be called on in Denver
Jeff Fisher and Gregg Williams shouldn’t be allowed to work together. The dirtiness of Fisher’s teams, combined with Williams’ known bounty history, should make such an arrangement illegal in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, and wherever else NFL football may be played. The 49ers got a taste of Rams Ball last night, which generally […]

4.2KFive potential reasons Shayne Skov signed with the 49ers
At first glance it seems like Shayne Skov chose the bumpiest path to an NFL roster. The former Stanford linebacker may have gone undrafted after posting lackluster workout times (a calf injury kept him out of the combine and a hamstring injury slowed him during his pro day), but multiple teams were interested in his services as […]

2.8K4With third round picks No. 2 & 3, 49ers add *single* ILB Chris Borland & another redshirt guy
I’m kind of running out of gas on a Friday evening, so I’m going to combine the 49ers’ last two third round picks into one post. Any complaints? Didn’t think so. Trent Baalke ended day two with two predictable picks. It took 27 trades to get there, but they added a player who appears to […]

4.6K8Inside the LOL: 49ers season in review part three – random acts of lunacy
Welcome back for the exciting conclusion of our 49ers season review! In parts one and two of the series, we analyzed the abject failure which came to define the 2013 San Francisco 49ers from every possible angle.

3.0K3Report: NaVorro Bowman’s ACL surgery has concluded

NaVorro Bowman’s ACL surgery has concluded, per source. It went well. — ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) February 4, 2014 The 49ers said they’d wait about two or three weeks to see […]

4.8K249ers GIFs: defense takes over, Tomsula smacks Dorsey in the face
We’ve done a couple GIF-pilations from the 49ers’ 23-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday, one on Quinton Patton getting under Carolina’s collective skin, one on Frank Gore being a chatterbox (that was only one GIF, though) and another on the Vernon Davis touchdown and everyone’s reaction to the botched call and subsequent overturning of said […]

Tired of waiting for football? Check out some more 49ers practice photos!
Since the first photographic journey through a San Francisco 49ers practice was so much fun to put together, I combed through the rest of the 300+ photos I took that glorious afternoon a week ago and chose the best of the rest. In focusing mostly on Randy Moss last week, I left out several other […]

49ers OTA notes & photos: all eyes still on Randy Moss
Tuesday afternoon was my first time in Santa Clara to watch San Francisco 49ers players and coaches in action since last August — unless one counts the groundbreaking ceremony for the new stadium they’re working on next to the practice facility and team headquarters. Not many of these practices are open to the media, let […]

49ers on Twitter: Tarell Brown makes a Bowlsy prediction, Patrick Willis backs Alex Smith
Until a violent collision with Dashon Goldson in the 3rd quarter of the NFC Title Game, Tarell Brown was having an outstanding postseason. Carlos Rogers was the veteran, the No. 1 guy, but Brown seemed to grow throughout the year into a corner who was every bit his equal. Brown was excellent against both the […]
