Niners’ Offense Goes Flat in Third Straight Defeat
First-year 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula has a saying: "Own it, fix it, move on."He's uttered it a few times already this season, including in the week leading up to the 49ers' game Sunday against the Green Bay Packers at Levi's Stadium.Certainly there had been a need to address the team's woes after back-to-back blowout losses to the Steelers and Cardinals in Weeks 2 and 3 of this NFL season.But as much as the 49ers may be owning their mistakes and moving on to their next challenge, the "fix it" part has been largely ignored.That was evident Sunday, as the 49ers fell to the undefeated Packers 17-3 and now stand at 1-3, with a cross-country trip next on the agenda to play the New York Giants in Week 5.Against the Packers, the 49ers' defense did improve some from the past two weeks. After allowing quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger and Carson Palmer to carve up the secondary, the Niners' defense tightened the clamps a little, allowing Aaron Rodgers to throw for "only" 224 yards and a touchdown – though the Eddie Lacy-led running game also did significant damage.But what definitely hasn't been fixed is the 49ers' struggling offense.Quarterback Colin Kaepernick, often...

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
By David Bonilla

Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.

Now, it's WR Brandon Aiyuk's turn to try and get paid and rumors surfaced over the weekend that he too would request to be dealt. While that report was quickly shot down by his agent, there's still a lot of discussion about Aiyuk's future and if other teams will come calling on draft night.
