The 49ers held the ball for almost 35 minutes, thanks to the offense led by Jimmy G.
That is how you win close games, control the ball, wear the defense down and score.

He got pressured 5 times yesterday (zero sacks) and they have a trash secondary all the same.
Listen I'll take a ugly win over a pretty loss all day. Jimmy simply didn't play as well as week 1. I said he had two great drives, which ultimately got them the W. That's great credit deserved.
I love when the running game isn't balling out people love to point that out when Jimmy doesn't play amazing overall…but when they do and they win, it's chalked up as a Jimmy W and he was the reason for it![]()
It's only week 2, but if we want to contend with the big dogs we more consistency from our QB.
You know that sacks and pressures are not all on the oline correct?
Prime example: Winston with the bucs vs. Brady with the bucs.
Jimmy got that ball out when he needed to. He didn't hold the ball long enough. He could have, and there would be strip sack fumbles all over the place. And then you'd blame him. You choose the stats that suit your agenda.
Jimmy has shown he can beat the Packers, Rams, saints, Cardinals, at Seattle.

Jimmy started bad. Our offense had three 3-and-outs and Jimmy was a big part of that. He was sailing passes high in the first quarter. I swore he was gonna throw a pick if he didn't settle down. And guess what? He sure as hell did settle down. From late in the first until the end of the game, I don't remember him sailing another pass high. He was effective even though we never pushed the ball deep.
And more importantly, Jimmy took ZERO sacks yesterday from Philly's vaunted D-line. That's insane for the oft-injured not-so-mobile Jimmy against a team with that good of a D-line. Absolutely a big part of that goes to the O-Line; they played their butts off. But Jimmy for once in his career looked fluid in the pocket, moving around and making rushers miss.
Good post.

It'll just be a few more games before we hand the keys to Trey.
His time consists of 15 more games. Lame duck, I must say.
IF JG keeps going the way he is, it will be a few years before Trey starts.
I don't see it - it's Trey's team starting next year, no matter what happens.
That is not probable, only possible. Jimmy is going great. The drops today were more on the receivers then JG and despite the drops we still completed 73% of his passes. Rushed more yards today then he did in 2019 and did a number of successful QB Sneaks including one for a TD. There is plenty of life in Jimmy yet. Trey could only wish for JG 's completion rate. Trey the boom boom passer is throwing them threw players not to players. He has a long way to go before he is ripe.

That's on Kyle who is not prepared for this game and came up with a pretty bizarre rotation in the backfield. I e there was none.
Most importantly not giving Jimmy any credit at all for battling back after a super cold start. I think people completely under appreciate that aspect of the game and how it unfolded. No turnovers for Jimmy. None that's the only way we were going to come out of this game with a w and not receiving any credit for it whatsoever
Philly in the NFC championship game lol. Like no other teams in the NFCW or the Bucs don't exist. I don't even think they're a playoff team.
it's never Jimmy's fault when it's something bad from you guys. Yet when we win regardless of how it's, all Jimmy does is win. You guys can never be objective in here with him.
Yes no TOs, his avg depth of target was 3.4 yards.
where did I not give him credit? I said he had to great long drives which got us the W. Where is the unbiased takes? We all watched the game….if you think his play yesterday will be good enough to beat the Bucs and other NFCW teams, I will disagree all day.
Is this what is being argued? Yes he missed the mark on a ton of passes for most of the 1st half and I'm sure 95% of the fanbase we're getting frustrated up the ass. Yes, Jimmy needs to be more consistent but who's to say he won't be? The running game has me more worried as well as our corners. Here's hoping E-man gets 100% asap.

Sorry depth of target not YPA (and 3.6 not 3.4)

so no I'm not making up anything. I have no narrative I watch the games and see what he's asked to do….fans for the most part can't be objective on players though and it's pretty clear in here.

I was so freaking worried with those 3 and outs because of how gassed the defense could have gotten. Offense controlling time of possession is so critical.

Probably not but they do have that very good defensive front and they did not just beat but destroy Atlanta. I know the Falcons aren't good.
Because of work and because of where I live, I really don't/haven't seen any games yet. But my understanding is our Pro Bowl center kind of got his butt kicked. Obviously Fletcher Cox is really good. Disruptive pressure up the middle is still going to throw a QB off his game. Particularly a (relatively) nonmobile one like Jimmy. Sure he needs/we want him to play consistently better. It wouldn't be entirely unexpected that he, and the team as a whole, would have a bit more of a problem with Philly than we did Detroit.
Alex mack has zero pressures yesterday. The OL gave up 5 total pressures and no sacks. So no he didn't have constant pressure yesterday.
overall Jimmy moved much better then in the past, which is great to see. He still struggles with mechanics/footwork and we will never push the ball downfield with him at QB. Is what it is.
IMO ATL is really bad right now more than Philly actually being good. I don't see them making the playoffs, but that's just an opinion.
Like I said I didn't see the game. As far as pressures go, maybe not. But one writeup/grading of the game said Mack looked really bad and out of sync. That too was one opinion.
At any rate if the center isn't at the top of his game or isn't playing well we know firsthand that is about as detrimental as poor QB play.

Nope I want him to play well as long as he's here. I could careless if I win some argument with some Joe blow in a WZ forum.
im being objective and you along with a lot of other people simply can't be. It's clear as day and you along with everyone else keep proving it

What makes you trust your flavor of "objective" analysis?
Reasonable minds can differ.

That 3.4 number is Jimmy's Air Yards per Attempt (nextgenstats has 3.6 YPA). To put it in contest, that's the lowest per game figure so far in this season. His completed air yards? 2.5. He was throwing, in average, 5.9 yards behind the stick - both a similar season's record, so far.

This is true for quarters 2,3, and 4. Jimmy and the right side of the Oline looked way off in the 1st quarter giving the Eagles three, 3 and outs. Jimmy missed badly on throws and we're fortunate none were picked. After the 1st quarter he did well.
Defense and Special Teams kept us in the game for the Offense to get into sync.

Pretty obvious strategy to overcome Philly's very aggressive defensive front. It worked, and I'm thrilled.
