Chicago Bears @ 49ers, 5:20 - In-game thread

I can imagine Kyle would get roasted if this happened in reverse. I get that the Bears didn't want to leave any time on the clock for us, but it ended up costing them at least a few more chances.

Part of it was I think the Bears were trying to make sure we had no time left to do anything.

Yeah. I was worried we left them way too much time, but first things first is you gotta score.

Rarely do you not score. Jennings and niners did the right thing scoring. You take the points if you can get them 99.9% of the time

I love that everybody is roasting Collinsworth for his Patrick Mahomes comment after Purdy's TD to Juice.

I actually wanted the 49ers to kill the clock but then Jennings scored and I was like damn!

One thing not being mentioned enough is just how many huge plays Williams missed that easily change the outcome.

They have to get that fixed.

People keep saying this but I watched the replay a few times now and it looks like Mustapha would've had him? His eyes were on him even in pre-snap motion. Would've come down to making the tackle, I believe.

Who knows, yes there's a chance but it looks like if it's a quick pass, the RB is at the 1 1/2 yard line, so who knows. Either way who cares, games over, 9ers won, no looking back now but they HAVE to make some adjustments. We can't keep asking Kyle and the offense to be absolutely perfect every single snap.
Brock is undoubtedly raising this offense to heights we haven't seen in a while and Kyle is easily the hottest coach in the league right now but the defense has to figure out a way to get better.

3 wins away……still can't believe it lol

FOUR. We have done the three away before.

Still hilarious that Huff was left unblocked when the 49ers only had two guys rushing the QB.

Everyone was shouting for McCaffrey to stay in bounds on that last run.

The stats don't look great, but I was impressed with the run defense. They held the #2 rushing attack in check outside of 2-3 chunk runs.

What happened to the bears player in the end ?

He got carted off.

Haven't seen anything else.

Hopefully, he's OK.

He was very good all night

Yet he still didn't get the sack.

You can literally dissect ANY play that doesn't work in NFL history and say well this other guy would've been a better option.

What this tells me is it was a nice disguise/look by Saleh to where Caleb/Ben Johnson did not expect that to be open. Saleh saved his check mate for the last play!

Not sure about the checkmate. Despite rushing 2, the Bears had wide open receivers in the endzone. I think one guy was jumping up and down begging for Caleb to give him a look. We're lucky that Caleb didn't have the smarts yet to make those kinds of plays. He could've easily passed it to his RB coming out of th backfield and given him a one on one chance to score or found his receivers at the back end of the endzone. He decided to hold it too long and still one hopped it to an open guy at the end.

bad defense all around. Saleh needs to make some type of change to the scheme or we're toast.
