The Aussie Bandwagoners view of the 49ers

Beer noob here, What are the mico breweries?

Are you asking what a micro brewery is? It's a small brewery (as opposed to the major players like Bud, Coors, Miller in the US, Carlton United Brewery, Boags, Cascade, Toohey's in Aus) that make a limited amount of specialised beers that are primarily marketed to the region it's brewed in.

Glad to have new Aussie fans on here and rooting for our team. It's good for us all to see the season through fresh perspective instead of what "used to be". Also stoked that you guys are loving football the way I got stoked for rugby a few years ago during the Six Nations Rugby Tournament. Lot to love about both sports. As for beer, California in particular has some fantastic brews. My go to for Niner games is a Northern California specialty Sierra Nevada. I love beers from all over but will ONLY drink California beers during Niner games. It's my little superstition.

But it's good to have you all and thank the God of all that is holy that Hayne did not go to the Seahawks and the Aussie fans went to the dark side. "Shudder"

They almost got us with Jesse Williams except has not come off injured list last 3 years.

Thanks mate. Appreciate the kind words. And if there's one thing us Aussies love, its rooting.

I tried Sierra Nevada Pale Ale when I was over there (Santa Cruz) a few years ago, very nice. You can get it here in Sydney but at $80AU a case(24) it ain't cheap. I remember how cheap beer was when I was there. Like a case of Corona $28 at the supermarket, here it's over $50.

I just hope your not rooting for a certain player on the squad.

Proud ticket holder on the Hayne plane. Yes Aussie.

The first touch in regular season and a dropped punt will make his Disney movie all the more of a hit. Everyone knows all good fairytales begin with a disaster.

Bush injured should see more Hayne at RB to relieve Hyde. Next game.

Read coaches comments on Hayne after drop punt supported theory he was replaced by Ellington on PR to save him for expected greater work load relief for Hyde

Davis runs same style like Hyde, if you want a relief RB why use a player same running style? A change up is needed that is why Hayne will get activated over davis as reserve RB and Ellington will be primary PR. Hayne back up to him.

Mark my words, Hayne will be starring for 49ers and winning them games this year, he is not just marketing candy for selling t shirts. He is in the team on ability. The marketing g will be the bonus.

I love how cheap alcohol is in the US! Six pack of Sierra Nevada for $10. It's three times that here.

Just about everything is 3x the price here. We are fondly referred to as Treasure Island by the international business community. Although with alcohol it might be primarily tax.

Seen mentioned a few times, and complaining about two locker rooms, what was that about ?

Just finished rewatching the game. A second, less emotional viewing was necessary before deciding what I thought about this game.

Here are my largely uneducated thoughts, focusing on what I feel most contributed to the loss.

First and foremost, we were straight up out played. BUT I don't feel that things were as dire as they initially seemed.

Red Zone
This, imho, is what lost us the game. They converted. We didn't. Don't mistake me, even if we came away with 7/8 every time we hit the red zone I still think we would have lost, but the game should have been a lot less one sided than it looked. Their drives to the red zone seemed to pretty consistently take about one third of the plays ours did, but we still got there almost as often as they did.

Our O Line
Five sacks. The right side of the line looked like it was made of paper on some plays. The pocket collapsed far too quickly, far too often for my liking. Kaps got the legs to make something happen, but dammit I want to see the man pass.

Our Secondary
Couldn't contain the deep threat. Antonio Brown made us look like amateurs. Is he just that good, or were we not good enough? Too early in my NFL watching career for me to make that distinction. Most likely I assume it was both.

Big Ben
I had heard this guy was big, strong and calm under pressure, but my god those words don't come close to doing the man justice. Colour me impressed. He payed about as much notice of pressure (and we did pressure him) as someone would a fly buzzing around their head.

Game Plan
The run game didn't work, but we kept at it for a long time. I'm not sure why. When we changed to an intermediate passing game in the second half we looked sooo much better. I have no desire to be an ignorant armchair coach, so I will assume that there are reasons we stuck to the run for as long as we did that I just straight up don't understand. I really wish we had changed earlier though.

Silver Linings
We didn't give up. It might seem like a small thing, but to me it's huge. There was no way we could have come back from midway through the 4th quarter, but we played on like the game was on the line. To me that shows character and determination. Kaps passing game looked decent (I thought) in the second half. I want to see more of it.

My first regular season loss as a Niners fan, it sucks, but that's football.

Own it.
Fix it.
Move on.

Bring on the Cardinals, and GO NINERS!

I'm about to watch the game again. Was thinking I would do my thoughts on the game afterwards, but I think I'll keep my comments to myself for a while.
What I witnessed today in the Hayne Thread has made me be embarrassed to call myself a Bandwagoner, I thought it was a fun name, but my goal is to be an actual Fan of the 49ers. I have watched NFL for a long time but never supported a team as I didn't have a connection to any of them, now I finally do.
I'll stick to reading the threads to learn more about the Game and Team until confident to have some kind of input.
Go Niners.
