John Porter @jporterdoes.bsky.social · Dec 30

About 2 years ago I resolved to start a writing career, thanks to the intervention of one of the best people I've ever met who supported me through everything.

Here's my portfolio, aka every article I've ever written.

So far.

Shanahan backing up Bethune makes a ton of sense, he's a solid player, good tackler, and seems to understand his spot. Always been a fan since a) covering his draft pick and b) watching him in that first preseason. #49ers #fttb

Did Sunday see the #49ers take their last bullet of the season? Well, yes and no. There's more fundamental things to fix.

Was Sunday the San Francisco 49ers' King Kong Moment?

Was Fred Warner's injury the moment the 49ers season actually ended?

In my sadly very limited time in the beautiful Bay Area I would agree with you there

John Porter @jporterdoes.bsky.social · 1d

My overriding feeling about 49ers fans on the whole is that they're entitled whining arseholes. Maybe it's because I started watching in 2005 and we were bad for years before we were any good, but I just enjoy the ride.

I don't care about Brandon Aiyuk. Dude had one and a half good seasons, got paid, and clearly doesn't want to be here any more. Once he's recovered, all parties would benefit from moving on.

Simon Jordan on TalkSport, unchallenged yet again.

As a Talksport employee, I am embarrassed by this rebuttal of what Neville said. This moron pontificates without question. It is bonkers.

And yeah, i'll probably be sacked. Fuck it.

I can't see the benefit to team or player tbh. Strange one.

John Porter @jporterdoes.bsky.social · 2d

Begs the question what the hell he's doing out there, frankly. #49ers

Matt Maiocco @mattmaiocco.bsky.social · 3d

Jauan Jennings told reporters after the game that he has five broken ribs.

INSTANT REACTION: Don't call it a rant, the #49ers lost, and it had nothing to do with Fred Warner or Nick Bosa. The problems are more fundamental. And Jake Brendel might be the worst lineman in football.

More on Sidelinr Sports and Niner Noise this week. GO NINERS! #fttb

PFF is the biggest bullshit ever foisted on a paying public and that stat alone is the reason why

John Porter @jporterdoes.bsky.social · 3d

Gotta get Jennings the ball in case he starts crying again.

John Porter @jporterdoes.bsky.social · 3d

Fundamentals. #49ers

John Porter @jporterdoes.bsky.social · 3d

Run D has been bad today. Makes defending the pass without Warner even harder. #49ers

John Porter @jporterdoes.bsky.social · 3d

I don't care if Warner and Bosa are out, some of these things are simple. Two missed tackles on that play. Fun-da-ment-als. #49ers

John Porter @jporterdoes.bsky.social · 3d

Say it quietly but the #49ers special teams has actually been largely OK today, covering at least. Skyy Moore continues to play his own sport.

John Porter @jporterdoes.bsky.social · 3d

Feels like the dagger. #49ers

John Porter @jporterdoes.bsky.social · 3d

Dumb penalties are a feature of the second half for the #49ers. For all the injury talk, fundamentals have let them down here. Tackling, deep coverage, and not killing drives with penalties.

John Porter @jporterdoes.bsky.social · 3d

This game likely goes south unless the #49ers can score here.

John Porter @jporterdoes.bsky.social · 3d

Pretty embarrassing series for the #49ers defense

John Porter @jporterdoes.bsky.social · 3d

Million percent, and with Bourne emerging....

John Porter @jporterdoes.bsky.social · 3d

Yeeeeeah, gonna be following this one after the game, especially with the trade deadline looming.

I'm not a doctor and I don't even play one on television, but it genuinely feels like it could've been much worse. #49ers

Dianna Russini @diannarussini.bsky.social · 3d

NEWS: 49ers LB Fred Warner suffered a dislocated right ankle Sunday vs. the Buccaneers, per source.

San Francisco’s All-Pro linebacker will meet with doctors to determine how much time he will miss.
