Every time I watch the play I'm impressed by someone else.

Danna finishes off the backside by putting Kittle down. Gay occupies the gap and Bolton flows to his left (puts the LG in an impossible choice so he appears to have chosen to block nobody). Jukswhatever looks to try to help Williams, realizes he's already dead and tries to get 2nd level to Gay and is too late to do anything since Gay has located the ballcarrier and can easily sidestep him.

I'm not sure a run rep can get any better than that one. Everyone did exactly what you teach them to do. Perfect defense.

I don't even understand how it's possible. He just anchored against one of the most strongest people in the league. No leg drive at all. Just stood in place and stood Trent up. I can't stop watching it.

Trent Williams is definitely on the backside of his career. Not to take anything away from Big Mike at all but Williams didn't play an A game at all.

"The 49ers will be back..."

Y'all seen that cap sheet? I'm not so sure they will. Williams is probably still the best LT in the league but he's no longer worth his cap hit. And that's looking like it could be a theme for the 49ers next season.

That's an older team with a lot of dudes about to hit some big money portions of their deals.

The NFC being weak as hell may get them back to the SB, but they won't be a better team next year than they are this year.

And there's no way to get out from under it. That's what's going to fuck them.

That dude's timeline has got a ton of great info on it. Thanks for posting!

Pennel really played well. One of the guys nobody in the media is really talking about, but he was lights-out all game. We really needed someone to step up like that, being down a guy in Omenihu.

I keep hearing 'they have a decision to make with Kittle..'

I mean I guess but it won't help them in 2024. They'll accelerate $18 million in dead money that will help them starting in 2025 but not next year.

They're gonna bring back next years team but older and worse. And they're likely not going to have the good health they had late in the season given Shanahan's track record of grinding his skill guys to dust.
[Reply]

Don't worry....they'll suck enough to get another top 5-10 pick where they'll find another Bosa. How the fuck they keep bringing back Rat Jr and Lynch...I'll never understand. They aren't winning anything.

It almost feels impossible for McCaffrey to make it out the season again next year. He's so due.
[Reply]

It's early but I believe the Packers will be the best team in the NFC next year. Love looked like the best QB in that conference last month and it was only his first year starting.

They've got 5 picks in the top 100 and will have some cash to burn once they cut Bakhtiari and a few others
[Reply]

If the lions attack the defense and are even nominally successful, they SHOULD be the best team in the NFC next year.

But they need to add a ton of athleticism to the defense.
[Reply]

McCaffrey was god damn beat to death this year. There's just no way they can continue to do that.

Now the thing they got goin is paying a QB 1 million dollars. So that's gonna help but damn.
[Reply]

The only members of their core that aren't too expensive, old, and/or injury prone are Warner and Purdy.

That's it.
[Reply]

Well......yeah. If that happens, I will grudgingly accept it. But he will instantly become my least favorite Chief.
