considering our injuries, how good the vikings have looked, and losing to a division rival on the road, 2-2 is definitely not ideal, but not the end of the world
if we can avoid a serious injury with Warner and start getting healthier we should be okay. I have no problem with CMC and Greenlaw missing another 4-5 games. Early Nov should be a good time.
I'm more worried about getting into the playoffs. We could easily split the next 4 without the right players, 1 injury and we could lose them all
Trent Williams insisted after the game that the toe injury he had this week was not much of a hindrance and he wasn't close to missing this game.
“It wasn't that bad. On Friday, I was wondering, is it worth it (to practice)? So we talked to coach and said it's good as it sits, let’s not make it worse and get ready for Sunday. It turned a corner pretty quick. It wasn't a big deal, I never was worried.”

If/when CMC comes back, Dre comes back. We will be scary. Brock has proven himself to be the GUY.
Positive vibes this week. Let's hope Fred's ankle is ok.
Any word on Elliott?

I love Huf but these injuries are becoming an issue, this being his contract year I don’t think we re-sign him unfortunately. He’s going to want a big contract imo
I’m hoping I’m wrong but I can’t see Greenlaw being that force he once was. Maybe in the box where he doesn’t have to cover so much. But his ability to go side line to sideline or stop on the dime, and change directions won’t be the same

Damn he barely started playing football as a Senior in HS. Talk about God given talent lol

3rd straight week the Special Teams unit costs the #49ers:
Week 2:
- Blocked punt
- Fumbled punt
Week 3:
- Fake Punt conversion
- Missed Field Goal
- Blown Punt Coverage
Week 4:

How many times does Special Teams hurt you before a change is made!?!

DL Nick Bosa had a WHOPPING 9️⃣ QB pressures in Week 4 Vs the #Patriots.
That’s not even the insane part, per @NextGenStats Nick Bosa averaged a 0.51-second pass rush get-off…
The quickest by any defender in a game over the last SEVEN #NFL SEASONS! 👀🤯

Give him the reps. He's going to create havoc. He's producing with limited snaps.
#49ers had 17 pressures on Sunday. Perhaps no surprise given that the Patriots allow pressure at a league worst rate of 45.9%.
Nick Bosa led the way with 5, Maliek Collins had 4, Leonard Floyd had 3, Kevin Givens, Sam Okuayinonu had 2 and Yetur Gross-Matos had 1.

The San Francisco #49ers plan to play CB Renardo Green over Isaac Yiadom going forward in nickel, per source.
Dominick Puni in pass protection yesterday:
• 29 pass-block snaps
• 0 pressures
• 0 sacks
Puni has yet to allow a sack or a QB hit in 146 pass-block snaps this season. Not a bad start to his NFL career

Man, what a long day. Got out there at 930 to set up. The new tailgate rules make it a chaotic as hell now. But we were still able to get 4 cars all together. Had the Ribeyes and lobster tails on the grill, keg stands just to keep us young. And of course, it was a get right game as predicted. Still need to clean things up a bit, but was good to see Purdy airing it out, Jawuan getting more playing time even with Deebo back, and Our D was getting pressure. Now we just need to carry this momentum over and get a division game W. Onward men!
Well said
Doesn’t sound good
#49ers Christian McCaffrey reportedly has bilateral Achilles tendinitis which means both of his Achilles are impacted, per @MaioccoNBCS

Some thoughts on YAC/the deep ball/separation/pass protection and how it all ties together for #49ers/QB Brock Purdy through four games:
-- Yes, Niners YAC numbers are way down (3.4 yards/completion is tied for last in NFL). Some of that is because of the varied absences of McCaffrey, Deebo and Kittle.
-- That has been offset in part because Brock Purdy is pushing the ball down the field more. Purdy's at 10.4 air yards/attempt which is 2nd highest in NFL (Anthony Richardson first at 12.0). And 15.6% of his attempts have been 20+ air yards, which is tied for 4th highest.
-- The average separation on his passes (this is just for players who are being targeted on throws, not if open elsewhere and not targeted) is 2.78 yards, which is lowest in the NFL. His 24.6% tight window attempt rate is second highest among passers with at least 10 attempts. Less separation at time of catch naturally makes YAC more difficult.
-- How does it tie into pass protection? Well, Niners are allowing a 31.3% pressure rate which is 21st in the NFL. But it's worth noting that Purdy also has the longest average time to throw in the NFL at 3.14 seconds. The league average, for what it's worth, is 2.79 seconds. Purdy is being pressured on 33.3% of drop backs when it takes 3 seconds or more to throw. When it's below 3 seconds, that number drops to 21.3%. That is still VERY high, so this isn't to say the pass protection has been great or even good for the most part. And Purdy obviously is able to extend plays with his scrambling ability which factors into all of this as well.
-- The point here is just that the cost of doing business deep down the field is going to create additional pressures, even when teams only rush three. Protection can be good but when you get beyond the normal amount of time to protect, naturally pressures are going to increase with longer developing route combos/throws. Likewise, YAC is going to drop a bit when teams are dropping so many into coverage and leaving less space for pass catchers to run free over the middle of the field.
-- If anything, Purdy's performance as teams seem to be adapting to what the Niners have done well offensively and also without McCaffrey available should be an encouraging sign for his adaptability as his career moves forward. SF must improve in the red zone and pass pro needs to get better, to be sure. But this offense is still 6th in offensive EPA and 5th in efficiency. With defense and special teams as is, there's room for improvement and it might be necessary if this is a team that's going to have to win more shootouts as the year rolls on.
