I think I had the same blonde all year long last year. I'll have new girls when we rematch within the division.
Whatever, much like the team, sounds like a lack of dedication and focus to me!

Gonna be a LOT of empty seats, typical for a Niner home game, but it's getting worse all the time. My buddy up there with season tickets was asked to sell a buddy's tickets - listed them at $50/each and has had nary a nibble. As York & Baalke continue to destroy the franchise, fans are fleeing in droves.

Unless our defense scores two TD's, I can't see us putting up 28 points...
I'm afraid this game could be the final crack in our Hoover Dam, where the 9ers beat us. They dominate us on 3rd down and wear down our defense. Our secondary gets exposed - again, by a marginal NFL QB...
Man I hope I'm wrong. But I believe there are some very serious and fatal flaws with this team that tend to get exposed in road games... even against horrid teams like the 9ers...

Interestingly, the 49ers are much better against the run than they are defending the pass.

I'm a little mystified by why people think our defense is the problem. We're 6th in defensive DVOA. The offense just hasn't been good enough to put an average number of points on the board.

The season's probably over if we lose this game, but I have a hard time imagining a scenario where we're a good team and this happens.

I'm traveling so don't have the time to check - but I wonder how our defense ranks with respect to 3rd down efficiency? It just feels like we are significantly worse than we were last season...
Also, while the 9ers may be solid against the run, Bowman is now gone for the year... AND, I really don't care how poor they may be against the pass, I don't want to pin our hopes for a W on the arm (and brain) of Drew Stanton!

We're currently 27th in 3rd down efficiency (allowing conversions 44.6% of the time). The NFL Median is about 40.6%.

We were 8th last year (35.7%).

Really nervous about this gm because if cards lose odds of making playoffs are slim Right?

I have faith cards have a shot with Stanton but definitely need Johnson and the defence to show up

Fingers crossed go cards.....
