when we Pearsall, Jennings, Robinson, Bourne, Kittle, CMC - that's a damn good lineup, they compliment each other very well if everyone is healthy. The real issue has been just health.

im confident we beat the bears with Kittle but if he misses the game, thats a HUGE loss for our offense (run and pass game - Kittle gets a lot of attention).

BA is just a different player than Ricky. He's by far more physical after the catch and at the point of catch. He's better vs press and is a true X. better run blocker as well.

Didn't think he would go full AWOL, but here we are.

bourne's hands are a liability imo. Been bad this yr from what I've seen. WR and pass rush are gonna be tops of the list come draft/off season imo.

If the #49ers are going to far into the postseason, this is how they are going to have to win games, offense is going to have to out score everyone.

Well in the past having a stacked top team didn't work. Maybe having a flawed team will finally help us win a chip. Lol

When BA last played for us, I considered him a top tier WR and a perfect fit for us. It's really unfortunate what's happen. As a 49er fan, screw him. As a man, I hope he's alright - idk if it's mental health, stuff going on at home etc - I hope he comes out of this mentally healthy and alright.

I don't mind borne being our 4/5th option but I agree, I don't want us to be in a situation where he has to play a bigger part of our offense. He used to have such reliable hands, at least that's how I remember it.

Regardless, I think that if we are healthy at the skill positions - we are in a good spot. I don't consider it a concern, although I do agree it could improve. Let's just hope our offense pulls a 2012 ravens and becomes unstoppable to a chip. Lol

Agreed. Aiyuk is much better than Pearsall. But Aiyuk's attitude and energy are so bad that I'd rather have Mac Jones line up at WR than Aiyuk.

I'm not so sure that Aiyuk is much better. He had two good seasons when he was healthy. We haven't seen what Pearsall can do in a full season. His catch percentage and yards per catch is actually a little better than Aiyuk's were in his first 2 seasons and that's with Ricky being hurt all the time. That's his biggest issue. It's not lack of talent. He needs to be able to have a full healthy season to show what he can really do.

He looked like a guy dealing with a cold. Nose was bright red, lol.

They said he was sick all week on the broadcast.

BA is not physical, fantastic route runner but that's about it. Don't think I've ever seen him break a tackle before.

I'm starting to have faith and belief we can win it all because of Purdy. This is very dangerous territory to be in. In all of Kyle's years as HC and all the successful seasons he's had, we never had to rely on the QB to be "the guy." It was always a strong supporting cast and then a competent QB.

We never relied on Jimmy on 2019. It was a strong running game led by Mostert and strong defense. 2023 was an insane offensive supporting cast led by CMC and insane defensive cast led by Bosa. This year...it's all Brock. It has to be. Some QBs transcend and go nuts in these types of moments. We'll see how Brock finishes in the playoffs

He had the "i've been blowing my nose so much it's red" look

Keeps us more focused especially offensively with Kyles playcalling OL blocking and Purdys laser sharp focus on scoring each possession to carry the team

I love Deebo, but it's clear that he was handicapping the offense, both through his inability to run and win routes, as well as Shanny's obsession with making him and his motions a focal point of the offense.

The Deebo-heavy gameplan was easily suffocated by a top defense. We're now seeing a more pure version of a modern passing offense. Kittle, CMC, Jennings and Pearsall are more than enough.
