This is sad. I'm watching Tennessee just run crossing patterns and deep crossing patterns and passing all over the Colts. Bleh. It's even Fitzpatrick, not Locker.
Anywho, kinda annoying to watch how even mediocre teams seem like there is more than 1 open person. Or how easy they make it.

Y! SPORTS
If that pans out the niners are gonna be set at RB. They can work him in as a change of pace with gore next year and build him in to the starter. If he's as good as he looked in college he could be the real deal. His knee injury was bad but he's young, surgeons are good and they've done his rehab right... work the head. Work the body. Bring him back when he's ready.
Niners make the right moves this off season they'll be a much much better team next year than they are right now. It's pretty clear they need an WR and they need one high in the draft. And they're probably gonna need D-line unfortunately because they were solid there.

my pre season prediction for niners was 10 wins, and get in as a wild card. Seattle wins the division.
Starting to look nearly spot on if they lost another few games.
They likely lose to NO and Seattle. That puts them at 11-5 at best. The kicker here is Washington. They are playing much better and could, I mean maybe, beat the niners.
If that happens, then it's a 10 win season. But you never know about Arizona. They are playing better and if Bruce Arians figures out for once that Mendenhall needs to step down, and puts Ellington as the feature back, they could really get some wins down the stretch.

NO/SF opened at -3 Saints which makes me think we have a good shot at winning this game. That line screams put your house on the Saints. Public bets are 80% on Saints and the line has only moved half a point. Seems to me the bookies dont wan't to give any incentive to bet the Niners in this game.
With our injuries, lack of offense, playing @ the dome in NO, revenge angle, Saints having Sean Payton back and having a decent defense, I don't see how that line should be anything less than -7 Saints off the bat. Really seems to me the books know something about this game and for that reason I feel like we either lose or win by 2.

Yea, Ryan was definitely laughing at dem Cowboys for releasing him. Their defense is much better.
In any case, Niners need to fix the passing game, dump downs/check downs. It'll be a glaring difference against the Saints. I say its a close game, by 6 pts or less

I'm still thinking that someone other team takes a chance with him before he lands onto the 49ers practice squad as the #3 for now.
PLEASE NEED HIM. Then take more chances with Kaep on the run.

Dear 49ers,
LaMichael James is best used as a runner on a sweep, don't option him on the inside. Please pass to him or check down to him if nothing is down the field. Where is his package? I haven't seen a sweep or LMJ get the ball in open space.
There was an opportunity to pass to LMJ after a fake sweep to him, he was open, Kaepernick took a sack. This is sad.

Way to lose a football game.
Besides the horrible roughing the passer + fumble call.
Gore dropped the rock on a DUMP OFF PASS (Like REALLY?!? I've been calling for THIS exact play). He had pay dirt, niners would have scored or at least been in FG range if he didn't drop that ball. He had like 30 yards of open field.
Osgood tackles Sproles on a fair catch, NICE!
Too many foul words to say about this game. Way to let one slip away.

This team loves to dumb down to opponents and puts the game in their hands to screw it up. No viagra for the impotent offense again this week. ****s getting old and Kaep is missing checkdowns on blitzes.
Pathetic O line play specifically Anthony Davis and literally no pass rush or decent run D. Ref bull**** aside on mutliple missed calls, this was another winnable game we gave away. Fire Roman already.

That was a tough loss. Waaaay too many mistakes. One certainly can't pinpoint the "botched" unnecessary roughness call as the tipping point for the loss but it certainly didn't help.
