49ERS at RAMS Pregame Thread - 2023 Season Week 2

Purdy is unbeaten in the NFL. Just think of that. Its insane! This guy is just a second year QB, and nobody has stopped him yet, except for the injury 🕷🪳.

I'll be even more loud about protecting our generational QB, from here on out. Man o man Kyle is so lucky (or good) to finally find his younger Kirk Cousins!

He's better than Cousins. A Brees/Wilson combo.
The Rams secondary shut down DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. This isn't a gimme game like many expect.
This is one of 3 games the 49ers will play on artificial turf this season. (not counting playoffs). The other 2 are at the Vikings and the Seahawks.

Division games are always hard. I think this will be a low scoring game.

I don't know why this stadium has artificial surface. Grass should be able to grow in LA weather. Just a really weird ownership decision, in my opinion.

The Rams own the Seahawks. And it was week 1. It's hard to glean much of anything from that game, other than the Rams played well and the Seahawks didn't.
Lets go 49ers!

Well, my biggest worry for Brock is durability. In other words, how good is a hall of fame level player if he's rehabbing on the bench. One thing Cousin's has been, is durable. I hope for that in Brock. Durability. He's not a big guy - like Tom Brady was, and Brock is similar in size to Brian Griese's dad, who had injury problems with the Dolphins despite being a hall of famer.

We're the talk of the town right now. Better back it up week 2
When Micah Parsons said Purdy is great but the league is coming for him now

The way that stadium is built it looks like there is plenty of light for grass to grow. My guess is that they envision a lot of uses for that stadium and probably feel that real grass would be torn up a lot. Plus it's easier to convert from AT to dirt to concrete for various events. That was an expensive stadium and they have to have some way to recoup their $6 billion.

I mean, Seattle has two good WRs, a QB who was below average for the bulk of his career, until last year, and no offensive creativity. Most people not living in Seattle expected low offensive output versus the Rams.

I don't think it's a gimme game, but the 49ers should win, especially with no Kupp. My biggest concern is the field. I want a win and no injuries. I'd take a loss and no injuries though because a major injury will derail the season. A loss to the Rams won't.
Levi's South! lol

This. It's a money thing. Notice though, FIFA told them to f**k off and install grass if they want to host WC games. Funny how if the NFL simply put their foot down (no pun intended), there would be no AT playing surfaces.
