Yup. Remember Matt Ryan let the media blame Kyle for the SB loss and chose not to accept any blame. After Kyle won him an MVP, no less. You better believe Kyle remembers how ATL placed the blame on him because he was leaving.

Yeah but if they get Landry then they may not have Bosa right now. You can't just change one thing and pretend that everything else would have gone exactly the same.

Remember what a convoluted, unlikely process it took for the 49ers to just have the #2 pick. One more win and they might have Rashan Gary instead of Bosa righy now.

Even if Ford is healthy next year, another speedy rusher off the edge will be vital. They need to keep a ferocious pass rush.

That's the 13th trap game in a row.

We won't need him this Sunday. Rest him up and get him ready for the Rams game

#49ers CB Richard Sherman underwent an MRI this morning on his injured hamstring, which is pretty sore a day after that wild win over the #Saints, source said. Status in doubt for Sunday against the #Falcons, but he'll do everything he can to be ready.

We can't underestimate the falcons, they do have some solid receivers. Without Sherman, it could be a long day for our 4th and 5th string CBs trying to guard Jones or Ridley (depending on what side they play on).

Sounds like Calvin Ridley is in doubt to play as well

Ridley got hurt yesterday and is in doubt to play

Ridley got hurt and is unlikely to play. Its basically shutting down Julio and Hooper. Spoon and EMan are going to have to eat their Wheaties and be ready.

Knowing our luck he sprains his MCL or something and he doesn't contribute much last yr. I mean we had Marsh rolling hard for a guy to come in and beat him out

Even with injuries , 49ers should be more than capable of winning against a lowly Falcons team at home.

This game is going to be interesting in the sense that Kyle is facing his former team that he helped take to the Superbowl.

Falcons have picked it up lately but this should be an easier game compared to the last two.

This is the game I want to the 49ers to get back to the running game. Jimmy can sling it, we know this. But run dominance and clock control will ensure victory in December and through the playoffs.
