Weber!
Watch weber light it up
We will have to agree to disagree. I know you have said even before the season you didn’t like Ayers. I just say he has a lot of potential and don’t see him going anywhere.
This is dangerous to put Weber in, might not get past waivers………….
Can he be my back up?
pleeeease?
DJ isnt going anywhere. The FO thinks him coming in whenever he does will be a big boost to our D and help us make the push to the playoffs defensively.
So SF hasn’t held at all but we do? That was NOT a hold!
This has become a game of referees
that was a nice block by Hillman
Cat their just not calling the Niners holds. On every play there is a hold. It gets called based on how much it affects the play and how obvious it was.
How many drops is that now
that was not
Their not calling the hold on SF, because they’re scared of Harbaugh.. Lol
OT lol
Ho hum Malik Jackson is a beast
Seriously… Osweiler had a TON of dropped balls… Really pisses me off, because id love to see him get some rhythm going… Smh..
LOL OT. Cat I know Malik is looking really good.
AB, so not fair. But I forget that Harbaugh is a scary man. I want to turn in the replacement refs and get my money back.
Against fourth string he looks pretty good but probably dresses like a Christmas tree.
Wolfe, are you talkin about Malik or Weber? Did you see Pam Oliver tho? Seriously? Red hair and a green shirt?
Willis might be on the bubble
Malik, just teasing you about the dress
Smh….Yea its against the 4th string. He hasnt had a chance vs 1st string guys. But even still hes shown me a lot.
Lol. Bowlen still has his Hawaiian shirt on! Probably will get back on the plane to go back after the game.. Gotta love it!!
Weber should throw a bomb down field and score a TD
I am so effing sick and tired of these refs. They allowed themselves to be brow and bullied by that ahole Harbough into calling the game his way. Guy has absolutely no class whatsoever. And after that little rant…I am happy with our 1s and most of our 2s.
What was Willis thinking??
What the..
Smh…two horrible mistakes on the return….Shouldve let it hit the endzone and not lateraled it. CUT
Malik is going t be good stuff. Just a rookie.
AHHHHHHH Wllis. I’m donen with you
Did Omon even play today?
Bubble poping
Singer, we won the first qtr which is what we wanted to do. Harbaugh is an idiot.
Cat no I didnt see Omon. I guess he is playing horribly in practice or something.
why are we watching john elway chew gum?
IF we score here I think ill have a heart attack….even though im only 20 LOL
we won the 2nd quarter also, even with the refs. I just get sick of the backups not getting a fair shot due to reffing.
Fitting……..
Dang it. I had high hopes. Andre had a tough day
well that drop summarizes the 2nd half
Our first string D and O was great our 2nds wernt horrible but not good. Our 3rds and 4th some players showed good things but overall a lacking performance as a whole.
These drops HAVE to stop… Wtf????
And I feel that our starting teams dominated the niners.
I still think Andre makes the team. I think he shouldntve played today. My opinion, but he just got back from an injury
Our starting defense is fantastic
I agree with you cat, he looked worried about taking a big hit.
Merry Christmas Pam!!!
I love the look Pam
The Christmas tree!!!
Brock was 4/9 with at least 4 drops…
