DE Nick Bosa "Smaller Bear" NO POLITICS

He's definitely pulled off some good ones in the middle of seasons that have helped us tremendously.

The season is obviously not over. The issue for me personally is I don't see the players we have now being able to provide enough pass rush vs teams like the Eagles or Lions who will likely be the teams we'd have to beat in order to get to the SB.

We haven't exactly faced elite QB play so far or rosters loaded with playmakers. It's a lot easier to defend an offense which is either handicapped by their QB or their lack of playmakers.

I don't know if the Jags will be a huge test, they have talent but you never know with them. Rams will definitely be our first major test with Stafford and the playcalling/skill players they have but even they don't provide the same obstacle as Philly and Detroit since both of those teams have terrific OL and have multiple elite playmakers so if you blitz the skill players can kill you. If you play coverage it's hard to see us getting enough pressure.

Basically everyone has to be perfect and that's not even getting into the offense(which we obviously need to get to top level asap).

Zero

It looks like 3-6 months for a partial, and 6-12 for a complete, according to a quick AI search. That puts it at slim, but not none.

It's 100% at none.

It would be malpractice by the team to bring him back. It was a complete tear, just a clean one meaning no other damage. If we're lucky he'll be back for week 1 next year. It's tricky since this isn't his first ACL tear but if anyone can get back it's Nick. Upside is his game wasn't all about speed and we saw how he came back last time from a much tougher injury.

But he's done for this season. Just hope he's around the team as much as possible cuz the young guys can use him and it may help him too.

AZ had the 2nd overall pass blocking unit heading into that week 3 game.

Jared Goff is not an elite QB lol. The Rams have one of the worst pass blocking OLs in the NFL.

folks need to understand there isn't a "perfect" NFL team out there.

Bummer on Bosa. I hope Bosa recovers well and can return to an elite level. Time is out on that but the older one gets the harder it is to recover from major injuries.

Right now, the 49ers are not a Super Bowl Contender in my opinion and I've been a fan since 1972. Too many injuries to key players and at some point that will catch up to you, especially with defense. For me it is defense that really determines if you win a Super Bowl. I believe our defense is why this team is 3-0 right now. To win a Super Bowl you need an elite defense, one that may bend but will not break and comes up with game stopping plays. I expect the Niners to make the playoffs this year and then to exit in the first or secound round they play. Top ten team perhaps because of schedule but too many gaps now and not enough depth to compete with the elite teams of the NFL. I give them credit for their play so far, yet I don't see them winning against some of the elite teams of the NFL. They have to prove in my opinion that they are elite. If they are smart, they carry that chip on their shoulder week in and week out. If they do and come through and win the Super Bowl, it will be a coaching masterpiece I believe and new individuals will have to emerge that are to become the bedrock of the team.

There's one that's perfect at being hurt 👍🏼

It is frustrating as we did not have the right QB (Sorry never a Jimmy fan-please don't send letters) now we have the QB and the wheels are hitting hard in the injury areas. I love our young team and love the picks. It's just not time yet. Maybe another year with the injuries. We get guys back and it will take a couple to three games to shake the rust. It's not like being out, Brock included, walk on stage and just shake and bake. Even when these guys return it will take some time.

It's a tough year.

The season isn't over, but our chances of making a SB run are almost certainly. We still have an outside chance of contending for a wildcard spot (assuming we don't get anymore injuries the rest of the year.)

This team is not in the same category as the Chargers, Bills, Eagles. Maybe not even the Packers who lost a tough one to the Browns. But we weren't going to any Super Bowl this year. That's just crazy talk. This is a learn and grow year for the young guys. Now we hit a major setback with our best pass rusher. Anything could happen record wise now. We have a weak schedule. Won some very close games. That could go either way. We have lots of injuries so glad we were winning. But we were winning largely on defense and now a more solidified special teams. The offense has been a struggle. With the injuries and sub par offensive line.

You're right we're not in the same category as the chargers or bills. We have much better players than those teams and even Green Bay. Again, Green Bay has average corners linebackers receivers, and a quarterback that isn't that good, especially under pressure when the game is on the line. We are much better team than Green Bay. It's funny how People over inflate inferior teams.Hahahaha

This and Hurts has trouble completing the forward pass often and phillys run D is suspect

Dang, that sucks. So much for pass rush, seems like we haven't gotten as much as we could have from Bosa since the signing, looks like he was gunna have a good yr though.
Sucks. Injury bug strikes again.

Let's win this week to get to 4-0 and keep that #1 seed in the NFC. Meanwhile, let's also get the trade done for Trey Hendrickson. We are on a Super Bowl run this year!

Also, if we get Trey Hendrickson and he plays well, let's move on from a healthy Bosa by trading him next year and giving Trey the money to keep him here. It has been great watching Bosa play with the 49ers, but it's time to move on from him. Trey can be just as good if not better than Bosa.

I have some faith in Saleh. Just dont trade picks for a rental.

Hate to break it to you, but that's the only way we have a shot at the Super Bowl this season.

I get it. It's a hard decision and thankfully I don't need to make it. And the team doesn't need to make it until November 3rd. But if we trade a 2nd for Trey Hendrickson on November 3rd, I wouldn't blame Lynch or Kyle one bit.

We are not going to the SB.
