You heard it here first, this will be Watkins breakout performance.

Hopefully, it will be James Thompson's, too❗?

No one should be surprised if the offense struggles without Evans.

One week of practice and schemes only help so much. Hope Atlanta's defense is not as good, which might make the 49ers offense more effective than it actually is (without Evans).

It's going to be war as usual. Thus, I'll be on the brink of a stroke as I have been quite frequently. Even when we get players back after the bye, there are some very tough opponents. It will be nasty, bloody war to the glorious end.

Could this happen? Purdy without his core receivers tries to make things happen, it's his nature, and he goes down, injured. Then the Niners lose this game because they don't respond to the lost of Purdy even with Jones.

Okay, I hope that doesn't happen but if Purdy goes down because he doesn't have the receivers who can get open would you agree that this season changes drastically? Don't take me wrong, Jones can play and play well, but I don't think he is at Purdy's level. I say even with Jones, we'd go from SB favorites and Division Winners to maybe squeaking in as a wild card into the playoffs.
My point is everyone is talking about the injuries at receiver and rightfully so. However we saw in the 4th quarter last week with Evans out, the team didn't adjust and I can see Purdy trying to do something and getting injured. Thoughts on that and the impact that woudl have? Isn't that why they need to survive this game and come out as injury free as possible and protect Purdy? The running game has to dominate this weekend I think.

If my auntie had balls she'd be my uncle.

Bro… Morris is going to take that belt to ass on the falcons. Players will be amped up for him. So I expect the D to ball out, especially with Bosa and Dre back.
hopefully sigle too.

offense will play better than most of us expect but I expect a more conservative gameplan from Kyle with so many guys out

I think also, ppl have been too critical of Watkins, I think he gets the job done here. Feeling positive about Kirk too and of course Cooks can definitely make plays, not worried about him. Defense will be pumped for sure. Just keep the ball away from Cowing and get those tds because Piñero has turned into Moody .

Bosa won't play and that's smart IMO.

Dre has to keep his calm together. Play for Morris and ball like he did vs Denver but play smart. Don't hurt the team with over aggression.

Will be a tough test cuz Atlanta has some ballers for sure. We play smart football with guys doing their jobs and we should find a way to win. Come in sloppy and we'll be going into the bye week 6-1.

Falcons out vs 49ers

Billy Bowman
Divine Deablo

49ers out vs Falcons

Nick Bosa
Deebo Samuel
Mike Evans - most likely out
Upton Stout - most likely out

And then a laundry list of players on IR

very sad.

I'm fine with Bosa out, as far as I know - the Atlanta field is artificial turf and that's the last thing I want Bosa to play on just as he's recovered from his knee injury.

Also that gives more reps to Height and Dugger as pass rushers, which can only help them gain experience - even if we lose the Atlanta game. Hope we don't though.

Got to rest Evans. I still remember Jerrick McKinnon/George Kittle and their sore Achilles which turned into a season ending ruptured Achilles when they kept playing on it.

Pennix was asked about Warner his response was "we just have to attack him"

Falcons ruled out RB B. Robinson for the game.

The Backup RB. Little confusing

That just means B. Robinson gets more carries and we're without Bosa
