Anybody worried about Armstead and his 7 week break between games or are we all going to be excited to see him anchor our run defense again?

I just listened to Kyle's presser, I know everybody's got their own idea about who should play or not play or whatever the hell it is, but it's quite apparent it's not nearly as simple as you might think. Sounds pretty much like a glorified preseason game minus all the players who would come in before HT because they don't exist numbers-wise. I'm perfectly fine with Brock not playing one single f**king snap. Oh heaven forbid he sustained anything that put him out the entire playoffs. That would be an utter disaster. Remember last week when Sam needed to throw a pass trying to get a first down so they could just do V formation? Then he does this stupid derp thing where the ball slips in his hand, and he has to tuck it almost fumbling the damn thing, basically getting sacked which was better than the alternative. I was just like holy s**t if Brock had to miss any significant time in the playoffs we're f**ked.

Exactly. We don't have a 90 man roster to play with, like in preseason. There will probably only be a few guys who completely don't play (Purdy, Trent, CMC). Everyone else probably gets a couple series... backups come in... and then the starters only rotate in/out when the backups need a rest.

Mason about to run for tree fiddy.

Good we don't need an injured QB again. Smart move

We don't need an injured LT, MLB, OLB, TE, WR1 2 & 3, DB, RB2 either.

And you can't have them sit for 3 weeks either.

I get what you're saying, but I think the Niners are the type of team that will thrive from all that rest. They'll come out ready to roll

Play like s**t? What, are these 8th grade kids going through puberty or are they grown ass men that are professionals that have been doing this for years?

I'd HAPPILY risk a first half of rusty play instead of risking being eliminated in the first game because a key player is done for the season because he got some fluke injury he should not have been exposed to.

This team has proven when 💯 healthy and fresh, they are damn near unbeatable, but when they are even one player short (in multiple areas) they can come up short.

Name a better team or a better opportunity this franchise has had to win a SB in the past 31 years???

Remind me how much like "s**t" they played on opening day after several of the main guys either didn't play or played very limited snaps during preseason…..

Rest and zero exposure to injuries will ONLY increase this teams chances of winning a Super Bowl.

Kind of interested to see how Darnold does, although the gameplan will be very vanilla.
