The worst is Bradshaw, he's going downhill fast, time for him to hang 'em up

Quick comment on the TV broadcast. Al Michaels has really slipped. Not much enthusiasm. He made a big mistake when he said the Niners had 4 SB titles. He later corrected himself as I'm sure several people called him on that. On the other hand his comments about the shots of SF after the commercial breaks was spot on. There just isn't a whole lot to show around Santa Clara. Aerial views of endless office buildings isn't very picturesque.

why the harshness on Al, he's not the one who is paying him to be there

and picturesque ? majority of the stadiums have office buildings around them... but were not watching games to see the scenery right ?

We haven't played our best game all year. Kind of remind me of a few season back when we were playing like crap and losing. This year we are playing like crap and winning.

Now they have 9 days to prepare for the Cards. Poor Cards. I just hope they don't look past them since the have Dullass the next week.

Cards should be an easy W, especially with their best defensive player in Baker on IR but they are playing harder and smarter under the new coaching staff so the 49ers definitely can't look past them.

I was thinking about that during the Rams game and the best comp I can come up with is Dennis Rodman and his uncanny knack for already being where the rebound was going.

Getting wins while playing subpar early on in the season is a step up from previous years.

Then the 49ers really can't overlook them.

Kinlaw is now up to 10 pressures in three games this season. That's as many as he had in 10 games over the last two seasons combined. PFF has also issued overall grades of 83.8 and 78.1 for him – his two highest single-game grades since his rookie season

As you can probably imagine, this doesn't happen very often in NFL history. As matter of fact, the Niners are now one of just three teams in NFL history to start a season 3-0 while scoring the same amount of points in each game.

According to NFL Research, the other two teams are the 2007 New England Patriots and the 1936 Pittsburgh Pirates. And that is not a typo. There was actually an NFL team in Pittsburgh called the Pirates.

The 49ers will be hoping that the rest of their season goes more like the Patriots' did in 2007 than the Pirates did in 1936. The Pirates started off their season 3-0 by scoring just 10 POINTS in each of their first three games. The Pirates' streak of scoring 10 points ended in Week 4 with a 27-9 loss.

The 3-0 start was arguably the highlight of Pittsburgh's season because the team ended up going 3-6 over its final nine games.

As for the 2007 Patriots, they famously went 16-0 in the regular-season before losing to the Giants in the Super Bowl. During their first three games, they scored exactly 38 points in each one.

Week 1: Patriots 38-14 over Jets

Week 2: Patriots 38-14 over Chargers

Week 3: Patriots 38-7 over Bills

The Patriots streak ended in Week 4 when they scored 34 points during a win over the Bengals. The 49ers could keep their streak going in Week 4 and that's mostly because they're facing a Cardinals team that has surrendered an average of 25.5 points per game through two weeks.

Would be absolutely fantastic if it happened. Not only in Cowboys taking the L but also because then we definitely wouldn't look past them to Dallas.

Well then, it's settled... perfect season ahead!

Kinda feel bad for the guy.

Through 3 games, Daniel Jones has been under pressure 47% of the time.

That's generally a number that produces completely non-viable QB play.

Lol eh he's getting $80M and was overpaid cause of his team last year. He's a very mediocre qb but yeah, it's hard to do anytbjng with the crap they are putting around him. Especially with Barkley out

If you look at the contract though, it's like jimmys - it's really a 2 year deal $82M deal. I'm sure if they don't get better they'll opt out and start over with a cheaper option. No reason for them to have that quality of play at that price, if they're not competing.
