REAL FOOTBALL Thread

I can't believe there are people who paid money to see the Jets play the Titans. Game with no rivalry implications, just 2 of the worst teams in the NFL playing bad games.
 
So... I don't really quite know SF situation entirely, but it seems like they have a reasonable shot of finishing last next year. Future doesn't look so rosy.

Or they could dominate. Kaepernick, could dominate, never know. The team around him is top talent.

That's true. I think. But on offense it looks shaky. They don't have much talent at receiver. (Or at least speed).

Defense looks fine, but they might have the worst defense in that division.

Defense will look at bit different next year with two all pros retuening.

Kap sucks. That's the problem with the team.

That's on Baalke, they brought in Boldin to replace Crabtree when he was out. They then kept Boldin, they added Stevie Johnson but he obviously doesn't have much left in the tanke. If they wanted to keep Boldin, if they wanted Boldin, they should have traded Crabtree, could have probably gotten a 2 or 3 for him. They should have gone after Desean but I don't think their cap situation was favorable?
 
It's hard to win when you have so many players miss significant amounts of time.


No excuses. Every team has to endure injuries, but in all my years of watching football I don't remember a team missing this many players. All that being said this team is headed down a bumpy road. Harbaugh is a fraud and I called this after the loss in the Super Bowl. He is everything wrong with this team and its pretty obvious. The defense balled out all season long. But in the end it was too much to overcome. Whoever the new coach is needs to ditch the idea that Colin can become a pocket passer. He also needs to find a backup who has a pulse. As far as I am concerned, there isn't a definite starter at quarterback heading into 2015.

They were the third ranked defense in the league coming into today.

BRule is smarter than this.

They are currently 10 million over next year's cap. So they have their work cut out for them.

I still like that defense a lot. They will be good going forward, but that division is loaded and they seem like they are in the worst shape.

Basically they need Kap to take a step or they're going to be really limited.

The defense is good. I'm just stating moving forward they might be the worst off. That's not a heroic statement. Seattle, Arizona, and St. Louis are three of the best.

And I have zero clue why you call me BRule.

Well they can get under that fairly quickly with some moves. They have a lot of guys who're making a lot of money and don't have too much dead money tied to them. ALdon SMith is making about 10 millino with no dead money, Stevie Johnson makes like 6 with no dead money, Brooks, WIllis and Vernon could all be moved if needed.

But what is happening, is the Niners are entering the Kaepernick era, where because of how much he's getting paid, if he doesn't perform they're in trouble, you can't pay your QB 20 million and them not perform and expect to win.

****ty memory then, happens all the time in the NFL. Teams los a lot of players, that's why parity is so strong in the NFL.

Name the last team that has lost three all pro players from their linebacking core. Two nose tackles and half their offensive line.

It probably hasn't happened because that's an extremely specific qualification. But Arizona has lost two quarterbacks. Their top pass rusher. A pro bowl lineman. And have had injuries at legitimately every skill position and they've been fine. Injuries plague every team. And it's like you said, their defense isn't a problem so citing defensive injuries isn't valid.

But how much more dominant would the defense have been if Willis/Bowman didn't get hurt?
