watched the game with some folks today who aren't really huge football people, between the 2 of them they've probablynwatched a whole 1 minute of football in their lives combined..

Dallas gets in the redzone after pounding with Zeke, and even THEY were questioning why he wasn't in the game. Unbelievable

The Dunbar toy has to come out of its box on the goal line for some reason.

So my question would be is collins the reason why the line has struggled with the run game? He and Callahan being gone were the pieces that changed. Obviously outside of Murray being gone. I guess my point is we expected the line to be so much better that it didn't matter who RB was back there.

But the last couple of weeks with Leary in the line is run blocking much better.

Yes, Leary is out playing Roller Skates Collins so far....

No offense, but Crawford was easily the best DE today. It wasn't just the sack.

No offense, but Ty Crawford is being paid like a star and aside from the sack, he had very little pressure on QB.

I guess we will have to disagree. He was the only one consistently getting pressure.

Talking about DT Maliek Collins not OG Lael (who was not even in game today).

Dak is in full command. I'm also loving the offense that Linny has designed around him. He's not letting the clock run down to 1 as well. That 2 minute drive before the half to tie it was a thing of beauty.

Zeke, only complaint I had was when we took him out. What are we nuts???

Leary was awesome and it looks like we have a pretty nice player in Green. He was going against Buckner the majority of the game.

Hitch made a great stop on Gabbert, fantastic tackle.

Mo continues to impress. Looks like a new man.

Lee and his snuffing out the read option early.

Wilcox and his 4th consecutive week of a game changing play! Great coverage on Kerly!!

Maliek Collins is getting better and better. Very quick!

Chris Jones was fantastic. Thanks Dunbar!!!

Butler. Yes he made 2 bad plays, the penalty, and should have caught the TD, but he did catch that ball that was super high, and stepped up.

Finally, Zach Martin and the jackhammer dance! Loved it!!!

I have no issue with Elliott coming out of the game. Its a punishing game he needs to have a series, plays off to keep him fresher. We also have two very capable RBs behind him that bring a different element to the game.

I agree he needs a break occasionally, but at that time he had only had like 12 carries and you don't take the hot hand because the play sheet calls for the "spell him" series!

I thought you were talking about La'el. Because IMO he has been a bit of a liability in the run game. So that's who I thought you were talking about. Yes I know he didn't play.

Yeah, I'm not into the whole "third series" thing. I'm big advocate with going by the flow of the game. I don't see the third series thing holding up all season long, I think there will be times he'll be left in because that's the most positive thing to do.

So essentially this proves Garrett knows less than people who never watch football.

SF fans know a good backup when they see them, because they see them play so much each week.

He's trolling us now. I get it. It must be like watching Weeds and company for him!

T-Will forgot to run out of bounds again. ( thankfully, this time it didn't cost us the game ) Swaim also had a few brain farts in the game.

I don't think we saw the secret gameplan that klelly promised


I'm pretty sure we all saw the chipster's war plan when it was 14-0.
But his quarter back won't be operational by mid season,in fact he was gassing out by the second quarter.( key: Colin Kaepernick)

What I observed was the calm/coolness of Prescott(and even Elliot) in the backfield after the snap,I mean ,I was constantly doing a double take thinking the plays had been flagged/false start,,,LOL.

we probably have all been in a situation of watching football with a couple of civilians ,its not a lot of fun.
