Don’t sleep on the 49’ers

If the Niners won the title, it would make two years in a row where teams gave away significant amounts of future draft picks to win now. F them picks again this year?

As broken down by Niners Wire’s Kyle Madson in the wake of the McCaffrey trade, San Francisco will still own a total of five selections in the 2023 NFL Draft:

  1. Round 3 (compensatory)
  2. Round 3 (compensatory)
  3. Round 5
  4. Round 7
  5. Round 7 (from Broncos)

The two third-round selections are in the wake of other teams hiring away minority coaches and assistants, former coordinators Robert Saleh and Mike McDaniel, as well as Martin Mayhew becoming the Washington Commanders’ general manager.

Part of the appeal.
Wasn't that long ago the NFL was selling after season collections of "The Greatest Hits".
Well it was on VHS, so I guess it's been awhile...

ESPN was doing segments called "Jacked up" every week until as recently as 2006. Chris Berman and Tom Jackson (and others) would chant he got "jacked up" after showing highlights of brutal hits.

They are definitely “all in” and as you stated. But are paying a hefty price to do so. Thanks for the breakdown.

Emmitt would have said 'Blow'd Up'.

That’s not racist at all. Oprah and Obama’s kids fall into this disadvantaged category as well, eh? George Orwell smiles.

That has to be the most unique way to score 45 points in recent NFL history. 1 point from the two placekickers.

0 FGs, 7 TDs, 1 two-point conversion, 1 Extra point.

Over/Under was 45.5.   Total ended up being 45 with 4 missed extra points.   Ouch if you bet the over.

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen Brady play as poorly as he did last night. He was missing wide open receivers all game. It was fun to watch. 😆

One thing that has not disappeared for Brady is some fairly incredible luck in his favor.  Opposing Kicker misses 3 extra points and one of the 4 onside kicks recovered by a kicking team in 2022-23 is recovered by his team last night.  

Previously gifts like that to Brady led to almost certain defeat for his opponents but not so much anymore.

Brady didn't really have that big a dropoff this year. Maybe he regressed a little bit, but it's not like he lost everything overnight. What changed was that the offensive line in front of him was a mess due to injuries. It's one of the problems Rodgers also had this year.

There are a lot of QBs that will look good if they know they are rarely going to get hit from the other team rushing 4 or 5 guys. I mean, look at Brock Purdy (who is also throwing to guys that look like they are going against the Joe Barry soft-zone scheme on every drop back and then making guys miss after the catch).

If Brady plays again next year, it will almost certainly be some place that he can hand pick where the OL is loaded with talent.

Whoever is the QB for the Packer next year is obviously going to benefit from having a fully healthy Elgton Jenkins and a hopefully healthy Bakh.

This.
They pretty much started off that way, and they couldn't cure it. I saw the exact same failures in the game vs the Cowboys as I did when we played them, plus a few games in between.

As for Brady, you guys do realize, of course, he is the reincarnation of George Blanda.

As much as I enjoyed the TB home beatdown, I realllly wanted Evans to catch that sideline ball and score to set up another onside kick.  Can you imagine if MM had lost that game up by 3TD's with under 3:00 to play?  All things considered I probably would have felt for him.

…and making the playoffs with an 8-9 team.

Generally, I don't think there is any ill will against MM. There certainly shouldn't be.
We would get angry at his (seemingly) stubbornness, game management, and so forth, but he wasn't an asshole.
At least that's the way I remember it.

Hell I hope they beat the Niners.  I don't think they will because I think the Cowboys will turn the ball over but hey, I'll be laughing my ass off if the Cowboys win that game.

Even Chaka Khan wouldn't have felt for him.
