They should trade for Andy Dalton

Jake browning has Jamar Chase, Tee Higgins, Chase Brown and some other guys and looks like he’s never played the sport.

This is a Kyle Shanahan post btw.

Kristian Shanks @historykss.bsky.social · 3d

Marvin Harrison caught a doozy there.

Kristian Shanks @historykss.bsky.social · 3d

It was like Gus Johnson and Kevin Harlan rolled into one.

Kristian Shanks @historykss.bsky.social · 7d

In the Shanahan era the 2018, 2020, 2024 and now maybe the 2025 seasons wrecked by injuries. Plus the 2021 (Jimmy and Trent playing on one leg each) and 2022 (Brock) playoff exits decided by critical injuries at the worst time.

Just really bad luck or something else?

Well got away with it to get a draw - still think the Wrexham game looms large given the poor away form. Certainly a must not lose game going into the break.

Wouldn’t be overly shocked if Chris Davies gets fired in the international break if they lose this game and then Wrexham away on Friday.

The recruitment this summer has been a big problem - Kyogo especially has been a complete flop and one of the reasons why Blues are totally toothless up front.

All that being said this has got Rams 38 49ers 6 written all over it on Thursday.

Kristian Shanks @historykss.bsky.social · 9d

Basically this was an annoying as hell game where turnover bad luck played a key role as well as the usual and more preventable special teams catastrophes.

Kristian Shanks @historykss.bsky.social · 9d

The defense was kinda ok to be honest. Allowing a Punt return TD and a big kick return leading to a fg not good. 49ers lost two fumbles, had a batted ball pick and a dropped catch leading to a pick. They failed to recover a jags fumble and had an int wiped by penalty and Warner dropped 2 picks.

That was payback for smuggling that win last week.

I know people are going to blow smoke up the Jags D but that game felt like one for the Turnover luck bros. Batted pass pick, dropped pass pick, two fumble recoveries, 49ers fail to recover Jags fumble and have a pick overturned by soft penalty.

Kristian Shanks @historykss.bsky.social · 10d

I’m just not sure why we’re running the ball in that spot.

Kristian Shanks @historykss.bsky.social · 10d

Yup it’s been just a disaster of a game and speaks to Jags vulnerability that it isn’t a blowout already.

Kristian Shanks @historykss.bsky.social · 10d

Trent Williams not having his best game again.

Kristian Shanks @historykss.bsky.social · 10d

Just two brutal swings in this game with the INT followed by Etiennes TD and then this.

Kristian Shanks @historykss.bsky.social · 10d

Just brutal special teams again.

Kristian Shanks @historykss.bsky.social · 10d

49ers red zone debacles injuries turnovers and special teams bungles hey it’s 2024 again.

Kristian Shanks @historykss.bsky.social · 10d

49ers getting absolutely whipped by Jags offense here

The loss of Bosa keenly felt

Kristian Shanks @historykss.bsky.social · 10d

Bad challenge by Kyle

Kristian Shanks @historykss.bsky.social · 10d

Felt like they were trying too hard to make a play there. The original play was covered, Purdy doesn’t make the most accurate throw leading to the tipped ball.

Frustrating half so far.

Kristian Shanks @historykss.bsky.social · 10d

Ricky PearsLOL what a great catch
