You're probably gona hear the phrase "built-in loss" leading up to this game. Kinda reminds me of the 2011 matchup on Thanksgiving vs the Ravens when the NFL wanted to have their family showdown between the two Harbaugh bros. We had to take our 8 game winning streak all the way across the country after a division game to play one of the top teams in the AFC. We looked bad the whole game, especially pass protection. Yikes...
i remember the terrible officiating in that game as well. 9ers never had a chance playing 2 opponents at once.

Kinlaw will make you forget Buckner.
remains to be seen yet the zones fascination with post-Buckner is the stereotypical " i cant get over my ex-girlfriend" syndrome.
Bucker was great, still is, yet the $ saving worked in the teams long term plans.
will be some future healthy tension as Warner, etc contracts come up. painful part of the business.
The savings between the deal AA got and Buckner got was like 4 mil a year. And I bet we could have gotten Buck to take an even cheaper deal than the one he got with the Colts.
One would assume a pro team understood the pros and cons and disagreed with you.
Bucker has taken the torch from Charles Haley as the one that got away.
I think it was that we could get a 1st round pick for Buckner and AA would have only gotten us a 3rd round comp pick potentially. I think it was a mistake but I'm not losing any sleep over it.
I think you are correct. If, big IF, Kinlaw matches Buckner's production it might just all work out in the end.

Cowboys get 6 even if they go 0-16
