49ers vs. Eagles third quarter thread: Keep your foot on the gas, Kyle
Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/ The offense woke up in the second quarter The Niners defense did their job on the third possession by forcing a three-and-out. They had zero rest but still found a way to get off the field. But could the 49ers offense respond? Yes. Brandon Aiyuk caught a pass for 12 yards. Deebo Samuel, on 3rd & 1, caught a pass for 13 yards. Then, George Kittle rook a clever design for 32 yards. After an offside penalty on third down, Shanahan called a play-action pass that required Aiyuk to make a diving catch in the end zone, and he did. The defense had an...

Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/ It should be a fun one We’re here. It’s the game of the week. The San Francisco 49ers are as healthy as they can be heading into Philadelphia in December. The Eagles have been playing with fire for more than a month and are running into a team on a three-game winning streak. There are stars all over the field on both sides of the ball. Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and Trent Williams all have arguments to be first or second team All-Pro players. The Eagles have a scary defensive line with...

Best bets for Sunday: Another big day for Deebo?
Photo by Steph Chambers/ We know McCaffrey will score. But the Eagles have another player who is automatic Thanksgiving went perfectly as the 49ers handled the Seahawks in Seattle on national TV. Our bets? Not so much. We went 2-2 with our prop bet picks. Christian McCaffrey cashed his anytime TD prop, and the 49ers won, but we missed on Brock Purdy’s passing yard prop and George Kittle’s receiving yard prop. Our record sits at 25-18 on the season. Now, the 49ers travel into Philadelphia for a rematch of the NFC Championship game. Let’s look at some prop bets to...

Golden Nuggets: Victory Friday, Thanksgiving edition
Your daily San Francisco 49ers news for Friday, November 24th, 2023 Kawakami: Brock Purdy’s perfect throw and the electric sense of instant 49ers history (paywall) “But as Shanahan pointed out, Purdy wasn’t supposed to throw it to Aiyuk against that Seahawks coverage. Safety Quandre Diggs was sitting right there in the middle of the field and moving deeper. The window was going to be too tight. George Kittle was wide open on a shorter route. Purdy had to throw it hard to beat Devon Witherspoon on one side and also float it over Diggs. It was almost impossible. One degree...

49ers vs. Buccaneers 4th quarter thread: Let’s get out of here with no more injuries
Photo by Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/ Hufanga went down Brock Purdy and company would begin their drive from their 2-yard line. Against a defense that features Vita Vea in the middle, that’s the last thing you’d want. But a 21-yard pass to George Kittle gave the offense some breathing room. Then, a slot fade to Aiyuk felt like a backbreaker for the Bucs. Purdy put the ball where it needed to be, and Aiyuk ran right by the defender for a 76-yard touchdown to make the score 20-7. That was the longest touchdown reception for anybody in the league this...

Kyle Shanahan and George Kittle share their thoughts on Brock Purdy’s 1st TD pass
Photo by Don Juan Moore/ The team could joke about it after the fact since they won, but you could still sense Shanahan’s frustration Only an NFL coach would focus on the few plays that did not go well in a 34-3 blowout against a playoff team. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was not pleased with his quarterback’s decision to throw across the field to start the game: “Honestly one of, I can say this because he played his as...played well. That was like one of his worst decisions he’s made since he’s been here. It took me a while to get over it. I thanked him for...
