Nervous posted:Jesus christ, I just looked at the 49ers remaining schedule and they're going to be favored in every game but @Eagles aren't they? I would not be surprised if they are favored against the Eagles at this moment. So far the 49ers only game that was decided by less than 3 scores or more was the Rams game, and in hindsight the Rams are a lot stronger this year than anticipated. The Eagles were within one score of WAS, who just got blown up by the Bears, the Vikings who are pretty mediocre, and the Pats who look to be one of the worst teams in the league at the moment. Obviously that is super oversimplified, since the Eagles beat the Rams by more than the 49ers did if you want to use alternative dumb metrics to determine team power after 5 weeks, but I think it is almost likely they will be favored using gambling lines as a metric the rest of the year, assuming no star player injuries. I don't think they will go undefeated though.

Yeah, Philly should absolutely be favored at home unless they are missing important players. It really sucks that the 49ers need to play in Philly as well because that head to head matchup could decide home field advantage for the playoffs if they have the same record. So this game is doubly important and it's in the middle of a very tough stretch of games. Seattle is no joke and they will definitely be competing for a playoff spot in late November.

Yeah I was not trying to claim that this team is completely the same as previous teams apart from injuries. They are better and Brock is a big part of it. But if Brock and a bunch of other guys were injured, it would still all be going to poo poo just like those years. They've been exceptionally fortunate in terms of season ending injuries (for ONCE), and I will be hoping that it continues.

I was thinking today at work while seeing a lot of national football writers starting to pump up Fred Warner's (early) case for DPOY after he was getting pretty high praise during the broadcast on Sunday night and Micah Parsons was basically invisible throughout the game. Luke Kuechly was the last non-pass rusher to win that award back in 2013, and it feels like public sentiment has gone even further in that direction over the last few years as all the armchair GMs online talk about how off-ball linebacker is a 'non-premium position', so it feels pretty remarkable that the media is even talking about him in that light, and it got me thinking about his career as a whole. Fred's already a 2-time Pro Bowler/All-Pro and will almost certainly add another to both categories at the end of this year unless he gets hurt, and he's been the more or less undisputed best player in the league at his position since Kuechly retired after the 2019 season. He's still only 26 (turns 27 next month) and if he can play another 3-4 years at this level which is really just the remainder of his athletic prime, it feels like you could start to make a really solid Hall of Fame case for him already no matter how the back end of his career turns out. He'll have the accolades and both the individual and team success, and the Niners defense has been the most consistent year-over-year defense since the Legion of Boom and the Von Miller-era Broncos disintegrated.

Fred Warner is one of the best coverage LB ever. LB is usually a weakness in pass protect. With SF it is a strength. Mainly because of Warner. Greenlaw is no slouch, either. We've been really blessed w/ LB since Willis arrived. Heck, Borland played only 1 year and was awesome. Willis, Bowman, Borland, Warner, Greenlaw. Nasty.

The breakdown from this play through the Deebo big gain is a good illustration of what Purdy excels at and why everything looks so easy. It's not just about Shanahan scheming guys open, it's Purdy making ridiculously quick reads even when the defense tries to disguise what they're doing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvrv3UZ8Nqw&t=657s

It's not just about Shanahan scheming guys open, it's Purdy making ridiculously quick reads even when the defense tries to disguise what they're doing. I like the accuracy on the pass to Aiyuk that came back on a penalty, that's perfect placement. Possibly the single most impressive play was the flea-flicker; that starts at 6:38. Not for Shanahan deciding to just style on people. Not for the quality of the throw. Not even for the player who was supposed to cover Kittle being completely fooled on the play. It's the steel nerve of Purdy. Look where the closest defender to him is when he releases the ball: directly in front of him and one step away. Purdy throws the ball like he's all alone on the field, and then he gets hit as soon as the ball is out. You just can't pressure the guy.

In the official NFL 49ers vs Browns preview, the narrator says: in Cleveland fans are realizing happy endings are harder to come by without Watson under center. Whoever does these deserves a raise; I really liked the Brandon Perna shoutout a couple of weeks ago too.

just posting to celebrate that the Rams got rid of that bum-rear end Van Jefferson. and they even got a sixth and seventh round pick in the process which may be small potatoes but is a veritable feast compared to using a player who is actively hurting your chances of winning mllaneza posted:I like the accuracy on the pass to Aiyuk that came back on a penalty, that's perfect placement.

My favorite was the corner route to Aiyuk on third down for 35+ yards. Or maybe the deep in to Aiyuk that went inches above Vander Esch's outstetched fingers. Both of them show what makes him so effective: he throws with more anticipation than almost any other quarterback in the game. Maybe EVERY other quarterback in the game. And when he throws a pass before the receiver has even broke off their route, they are still somehow right on target. Which is a testament to his skill, but also to the coaching and the receivers who are running their routes with the amount of precision that requires, where he's able to know that they WILL be in the right place at the right time.

It's no coincidence that the Seahawks run defense was abysmal last season and this season it is pretty good. Bobby was already a HOF lock, but the fact that he is still great is pretty amazing. And on top of that he sure looks like he is destined to get in to coaching once he ages out of playing.

Speaking of the Ringer, Ben Solak is my favorite of their football guys and he just wrote a piece about Brock that's got a way more nuanced and better take than Ruiz's. tl;dr, he's clearly benefiting from the playcalling and skill position talent (duh), but he's executing the offense better and differently from Jimmy. He pushes the ball further down the field and more frequently, and he extends plays much better and takes fewer sacks. All of that passes the eye test for the 3-ish years of healthy Jimmy vs. what is now effectively 3/4ths of a season for Brock.

"Brock actually takes and hits shots outside the numbers and it made the offense way better pretty much immediately" is basically something I've been torturing everyone within earshot with for nearly a year now, so I appreciate having some backup.

From what little I've seen of Commanders games, Cody Barton hasn't changed one bit I'm glad he's not blowing assignments for my team anymore. Getting rid of him just improved the defense by default.
