Baker really roasted that supposedly tough Seahawks defense.

This game is going to be tough. It's too bad it doesn't sound like Kittle will be back for this one. D-line will be shorthanded as well. Hopefully we at least get back a WR or two.

Seattle was missing their 3 best defensive players yesterday. But Baker is playing great, no doubt.

Bucky will be out most likely. They're banged up in the secondary too. Baker had like an 88% completion rate against the SeaCucks. They could not pressure him at all but they were also playing their backups and 3rd stringers, in the secondary, due to injury.

Mike Evans is probably out but Godwin getting back and Emeka is more than enough for them.

Ther Noners soft schedule isn't looking quite so soft after a few games. The Bucs and Colts both look pretty good this year and we already saw an improved Jaguars team. Ther Browns and Texans both have pretty good defenses There really aren't any easy games in the NFL. The Ravens and Bills found that out yesterday.

ESPN posted a revised strength of schedule rating going into this past weekend's game. It showed the 49ers' schedule to be #14 toughest in the league. Things have changed since the projected #31 in the beginning.

That makes sense. Those pre season schedule rankings are as worthless as the early season college football rankings. Penn State has dropped from #2 and one of the favorites to win it all to unranked in the past 2 weeks.

Yeah he's out for a while. The only one that worries me tbh is that rookie receiver they have Emeka Egbuka. He's a beast. They should have Lenoir shadow him throughout the game I don't think Renardo Green can keep up with this kid.

Just checking if the 9ers traded for a D-lineman yet. Cause this Bucs O-line aren't chumps like Rams O-line.

We are the kind of team that will wind up beating the Bucs, then lose to the Falcons.

I swear the retardance of Grant Cohn has no limits. He says when George Kittle returns the player who should be benched is Juice and replaced by Jake Tonges as the new fullback. Now him and Farrell are crosstrained to play FB but they're not fullbacks. Tonges isn't even that great of blocking TE. He's improving but a much better passcatcher. I agree Juice isn't as valuable as 3 or 4 years ago but he's still the best FB in the league which is saying a lot. I swear Cohn just makes up s**t constantly, has no idea what the hell he's talking about.

He's only saying this because he's always s**t on juice value and says hes only an extension of KS ego. Classic Cohn biases nonsense

Ssounds like a parroted take here at the Zone.

Gonna have to put up points this week to keep up with TB. Emeka Egbuka is a monster.

Your reaction is why he does what he does.

No, he's an extension of Kyle Shanahan has always used a fullback in his scheme/system. It's not really a negotiable part of the offense for it to operate according to his playbook. So once again, Cohn is a moron.

Any updates on Pearsall? He's the real difference maker that we need. All I remember seeing is he had swelling on his knee and acted like it was nothing and then he missed the game.

im hoping these 10 days off are enough to get him to play this week. This is an important game that we need to win for seeding. It isn't the end of the world if we lose but it would be a huge win.

i know he missed practice today but maybe he gets in on Friday or something to play. We really need him if we are going to need to score 30+ to beat Tampa

Yeah why not just use a lot more 2 TE sets instead? Cohn trying to overcomplicate things for clicks.

Why not use 2 TE sets? What does Juice do for the running game again? Give me Kittle and Tonges on the field at the same time.
