49ERS at RAMS Pregame Thread - 2023 Season Week 2

Im struggling to think of ways the rams could win this game. Could they get a few scores on us? Sure sure.

Could they hold us to under 20? I find that really hard to believe

Maybe we fumble the ball 5 times.

Its the NFL. Literally any team can beat any other team in a given game. Maybe they only win 1 out of 10 matchups but it can happen.

I get anything is possible but im trying to be realistic

The 49ers will be ready for the Rams. The "any given Sunday" stuff is for opponents where the 49ers may find it difficult to get psyched up for. Looking at the schedule, it's games like the Bucs and Commanders.
I understand Puka did not practice yesterday

It looks like they are gunning for the #1 seed, so hopefully they go full throttle for every game

Hurt his oblique

if he plays greenlaw might send him to the hospital tbh

Agree. Casual fans forget that it's an In-Division game and think it's a no brainer win. The opponent knows us well and play harder. Odds are in our favor but until we get a comfortable lead, then I won't be over confident

He'll play, my guess it's a slight strain and they're just managing it, no different than Dre's injury.

But we can't let guys like Puka and Atwell beat us whether they're healthy or not, hell we're good enough where even if Kupp is out there with them we should be taking it to them.

Highest drafted dude in their secondary I think is Witherspoon. To lose to them would be absolutely embarrassing.

You said it genus. To give reference, he was out there for 92% of D snaps. Witherspoon!

we got a Witherspoon revenge game incoming

The 49er defense is nowhere like the Seattle defense. He's not going to be as free as he was last game. If the Rams can't run the ball and become one dimensional - the ram fans know this is going to be a loss.

Seeing how we all twist ourselves into loops trying to find a scenario where the rams will win 😂 We are one burned fanbase and I totally get it. I feel like no team on earth has witnessed the insane, close but not quite there, losses with devasting injuries at the most high-profile moments as the 49ers faithful over the past decade.
