Sunday’s performance in Houston didn’t leave many players to choose from as bounce-back candidates. As the defensive line failed to generate a pass rush against the much-maligned Texans’ offensive line, the defense struggled to get off the field on third down, allowing Houston to dominate time of possession. The offense was barely on the field, […]

The NFL trade deadline is rapidly approaching, and the San Francisco 49ers are positioned to be buyers, sitting at 5-3 with a couple of key needs following some injuries.

Per The Athletic’s Joe Person, the Carolina Panthers signed Trevis Gipson off the San Francisco 49ers practice squad. Gipson, who was out of elevations, would have needed to be promoted full-time to the 49ers’ active roster if he were to play again. Despite releasing Gipson, your elevations do not reset when you re-sign. So, the […]

The San Francisco 49ers started Sunday sluggish and spotted the Houston Texans 16 points before getting on the board, but by then, it was too little too late. The 49ers would cut the lead to eight, but the slow start proved too much to overcome, as Houston extended it to 11 and San Francisco couldn’t […]

The San Francisco 49ers being the favorites isn’t anything new. However, the New York Giants not being significant underdogs is eyebrow-raising. That’s the scenario we have heading into Week 9. As the Niners head to the dreaded MetLife Stadium, FanDuel Sportsbook has the road team as 2.5-point underdogs, with an obnoxiously high total of 48.5. […]

The Washington Commanders won’t have Jayden Daniels, but they will have Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin back in action.

Well, that didn’t go well at all. The San Francisco 49ers were dominated on both sides of the ball and sustained even more injuries across their defensive line. There was a point on Sunday afternoon where the 49ers were down one possession. The Texans won by 11 points, but the game within the game belonged […]

The San Francisco 49ers lost 26-15 in a maddening game against the Houston Texans. Turns out, not having Bryce Huff on a defense already running on fumes might make said defense worse. But it wasn’t all terrible. The defense did secure one significant milestone, specifically a turnover. But not just any turnover, an interception. The […]

Jones completed 75 percent of his passes against a leaky Rams secondary that provided little resistance. Los Angeles had a bye week in Week 8, the week allowing the second-most […]

The Los Angeles Rams are tied for the best record in the NFC West with the Seattle Seahawks at 5-2, but they’re temporarily in a wild card spot as they approach midseason because L.A. has yet to win a conference game. However, if the Rams had tied the San Francisco 49ers two weeks ago, then […]
