Don't see it.

Sweet! You're predicting Kyle hangs on to a 10 point lead!

49ers offense still has to prove it can sustain. Let's hope we can build on the success on offense they had last week. As Jimmy gets in football shape, let's hope he can continue to get better and develop a better rapport with Aiyuk and quite possibly Gray who's questionable.

Add in 2 things. Kyle has to continue to coach up the weak links in the OL, and to coach away from the weak and toward the strength. Jaylon Moore who was absolutely frightful at LT last week, fanned on virtually every play…Kyle somehow coached him up. He gave up no sacks, so big improvement. We have seen him play way better than that before. 2nd thing is for kyle to remind jimmy every time he goes on the field that if receiver is covered up, throw it at his feet, and DON'T try and put it thru a tiny crack in the D. If kyle does those two things, coaching up OLs that are having a bad go of things and reminding Jimmy, i think we can see more games like Mon nite's.

I agree. The offense was a bit better, but let's not act like it wasn't a 1 score game until Huff made a play. 27th ranked offense out there with Debo, Kittle, Aiyuk, Jennings and still good RB on the roster.

GM's statement just looks flat out incongruous…ie, with that talent and firepower, it couldn't be true…UNLESS:

You have a QB who is brand new to the NFL , or…a QB who hasn't spent much time with the firepower. And that is exactly what happened as everyone knows. Looking at the previous game, it is easy to believe. After this one, it gets harder. Simply put, Jimmy has now had basically 2 weeks of OTAs,, PS, or spending ANY time with his team due to the bizarre string of happenstances that occurred this past preseason, starting well before OTAs.

There were some that said Jimmy should be ready to go right off the bat, and that he didn't really need PS and work with his teammates. But as I posted after game last week, he has had to completely relearn the muscle memory necessary to get a football to go where he wants. Specifically, it is hand-eye-coordination with hand-eye-shoulder coordination, and was completely new to his shoulder component. That is gradually working itself thru the process but getting in sync with each WR and his routes, patterns, and idiosyncrasies, is another mountain to climb.

No question the rams D was a good marker to compare against, and unquestionably, Jimmy is on the way back. I figured for Trey, it took a full 3 months of working wth WRs for him to feel comfortable. And then, once season started, it would take 4, maybe 5 games to get really comfortable with his receivers. With Jimmy, i never thot about it because Trey going down after 5 quarters of play just blindsided everybody.

For JG, we really should have figured not 3 months of throwing but 3 months of throwing to his WRs. He had none. Then once the season started he would need 4, maybe 5 games to get used to totally new OL, and same for WRs. The expectations that he would succeed right out ot fhe box were way overdone. So what we end up with is a ton of firepower with a QB who is gradually getting back to square one. And he isn't there yet. He's done it before so maybe another 2-3 weeks to get his shoulder regrooved with his WRs, and then, most likely that 27th ranking gets closer to what it really is.

right now the firepower is waiting for the QB to catch up. It will still be awhile yet. Meantime we have a colossal D that doesn't need that much to win on its own. Still our O HAS to help produce something. If we can just stay in the mix the next 3-4 games, maybe 5, we have a good shot of going deep in playoffs and hopefully SB to win it all. But we have to stay somewhat in the mix til then. What a time to have a D to keep us in it until JG is back where he needs to be.

Still can't get a read on this team. On paper they're no worse than a top 5 team in the league , but offense has massively underachieved and they lost games to the likes of Chicago and Denver.Jimmy needs to play better, hopefully these next 2 games against mediocre opponents will help paint a better picture of them. And for the love of god stay tf healthy
