Maybe we should have rested all our starters in the reg season finale against the Clucks?

The 2 important guys that might miss this week DID sit out vs Seahawks

f**k it. Throw them into the fire, they are going to be leaned upon heavily going fwd

Line still currently -4.5 Eagles.

Trent Williams/Ricky Pearsall news will likely pop that one direction or another before the game.

Two old dudes in their 60s about to go toe to toe, gonna be a doozy

F BA, he should be playing

I'm glad I never bought a BA jersey. I would be burning it now.

I'm tempted to buy one for real cheap somewhere, let someone burn it on YouTube / Tik Tok for views

Kyle Shanahan has faced Vic Fangio four times. Shanahan's offense in those games scored:

11 points
6 points
15 points
9 points

Last time they faced off was 2018. Shanahan tried to hire Fangio as Niners DC in 2017.#49ers pic.twitter.com/MawY3SP6FL

Those point totals don't mean much if the last time they faced off was all the way back in 2018.

Yeah I know pill is chill but posting that as a slight towards Shanahan is wild lol

So Kyle said that if the game was on Sunday and not Saturday vs the Hawks that There was a possibility that Trent and Ricky could have played. But here we are on Wednesday 4 days later and they are not practicing. So how the hell were they going to have any chance to play 3 days ago? And I have never had a PCL injury but I have to assume that if he re-aggravated it, That's not being hurt, That's being injured. I know hindsight is 50/50 but looking back now it would have been better to just rest all our starters once we got our 11th win. We would be alot more healthy heading into the playoffs. Ofcourse if we did that at time there would have been alot of angry people, Since we still had a shot at the #1 seed.

Ok look... if Pearsall is not playing, or hell if he finds a way to give it a go this weekend... I still feel we need to change our approach against the iggles.

I feel the their secondary will lock up our WRs. So what is the point? If it's gonna be a hobbled Pearsall, Jennings, Bourne, WR Robinson... it's the same o'l same o'l. They look similar, and unfortunately might perform similar vs that secondary.. especially with a sped up Brock.

So imo, how about we try good o'l run controlled offense? Have CMC, Juice, Kittle, Tonges out there with Jennings (sprinkle in some Pearsall and Watkins for speed everynow and then). But just try to run it down their throats the majority of the time... then play action for some explosives to a leaked out Tonges or Juice or Kittle or CMC. Sneak in a few Purdy keepers.

Sure it will look boring...and we'll probably have to punt. But imo I think it is our best chances, regarding match ups. It would also let our defense rest a bit, instead of constantly being out there.

And bonus... and this is where I'll lose yall if I haven't lost ya already..

And for a few plays when we need a 1st down on 3rd or 4th and shorts.

Hell come out with Kittle lined up outside at WR. Tonges on one side, Juice lined up on the other (in his sideways stance to quickly motion)... CMC, Purdy, B-Robinson in gun.

The middle one, Gun right tight with Kittle at wide. And be creative from there....
RPO with CMC (motion out) and B-Rob. Quickly motion Juice over to overload on side for a run.



I know it's unrealistic to just install new plays with in one week, but I would hope Kyle has something similar to 22 personnel he can tweak. These are his passing plays, but more so runs. Again when we need short yardage.

The main issue with this imo is that our defense can't stop anyone. So if we punt there is a 80% chance we give up points, so our only real chance to win is for the offense to put up 30+.

This is a good post. Unfortunately you're preaching to deaf ears. Kyle is not going to change his playbook. He is going to run the same formations with the same motions with the same personnel. He only substitutes players when his plan A guys get hurt. No imagination.
