Vox Nihili posted:Probably shoulda just spent the $5m for one more year. The team is surprisingly cash rich this year anyway. This is the exact opposite for the Rams because they were not cash rich, so they could not re-sign Matt Gay. Not that Gay would have propelled the Rams to more wins, but different decisions could have been made on the filed with a more reliable kicker. They certainty wouldn't be looking at starting their third kicker this year.

Heard Geno Smith might be even more broken. Something about a knee injury during practice. Anyone know?

Smith was added to the injury report on Thursday as a limited participant in the second practice of the week. Niners could probably start their backups and win.

Youtube randomly recommended the 2012 NFCCG to me. I watched bits and pieces and came away with a few thoughts: I'd forgotten they fell behind 17-0 with no offense at all on the first few drives. But then they came back and were in position to tie but missed a FG. Then they fumbled at that 1/2 yard line. But finally took the lead in the 4th and I remember holding ATL on 4th down. The thing that really stood out to me was how annoying Harbaugh was. I am so glad he is gone. Shanahan might be a coward, but he isn't embarrassing on the sidelines. E: oh yeah, and CK7 did not look like a good QB. As a fan, at the time, he did. But watching that vid, I was constantly amazed at his success. It must have been incredibly frustrating watching him as an opposing teams fan.

In 2012, Kaep was playing his first starts. He started 7 games that year. He had earned the starting position due to his running ability and arm strength, but he was still very, very raw.

And then they barely used Moss. Was very annoying. IIRC, there was a pass to him in the end zone in the SB that our own player broke up because they didn't realize it was for Moss. Criminally misused, imo.

Waltzing Along posted:Youtube randomly recommended the 2012 NFCCG to me. I watched bits and pieces and came away with a few thoughts: It really is amazing seeing how much the NFL has changed, from the type of hits you can use to how badly the offenses are. The one they showed me was 49ers vs Rams from 1972. The 49ers QB is STEVE SPURRIER. Obviously if you incentivize people to be able to throw an ovoid-shaped ball, people are only going to get better at it but watching some of the throws... they are literally missing swing passes with no one in their face. It's no wonder the running game was so viable, since no one could throw worth a drat in the 60s/70s. But even the running game feels so different. Like they're handing it off without any kind of run up. The center hikes the ball to the quarterback (NO SHOTGUN OBV) who immediately hands it off to the running back because he's right behind the QB maybe 3 yards off. Also everyone is in a 3-point stance, even the receivers. I know even as late as the 80s receivers did this but it's funny to see. They all also have butterfinger hands.. either that or just no stickum back then. Then the kicking.. I know the whole soccer style kicking revolutionized the kicking game but watching the old school way of doing it.. which was for the kicker to line up maybe 2 yards directly behind the holder, take one step, and trying to kick a point after (and just completely whiffing) is pretty funny. Nevermind the camera work, in probably the best deep pass I've watched so far, roman gabriel chucks a huge goose-eggy throw that you think is going to get intercepted because the camera is focusing on a 49er defensive back but no it's actually a deep go route he's trying to go for. The of course the announcer starts talking about how people think Jack Snow (the receiver who caught it) is too slow (lmao). (it's around 17:22 in the video below) Meanwhile the coach of the Rams, Tommy Prothro, is just smoking like crazy on the sidelines. Anytime they cut to him there's a long skinny cigarette in his mouth. He would be fired after the season. And the refs.. they're just letting people line up in the neutral zone.. maybe that wasn't a rule back then yet but some plays the defensive tackle's hand on the ground goes past where the football is and his helmet goes passed the helmet of the center. Another play the refs just miss a blatant offside call against a 49ers (they later call a similar one against the rams, so they just missed this one). The game has changed. Funniest play (time marker 14:58) (if you watch to 15:44, this is the play where the QB misses an easy swing pass) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtJ1FLwFdOs&t=897s

I think receivers weren't allowed to wear gloves until some time in the late 80s or early 90s, and they make a huge difference in catching rates. Especially when the ball is wet or cold or both. Back in the 70s I don't think they had instant replay yet, either. Refs called what they saw, and that was that.
