only 70?

lol
No way Sam is putting up 18

We let them borrow Moody for a game and he goes 6/6 on FG's.

Man, and I guess it's a known fact, in the last 30+ years, 49ers are 0-7 in Vikings land.

What is odd is that's a lot of different coaches, diff players, diff schemes, diff game plans, ton of variations in 3 decades. Very strange that the 49ers never found a way to win there even once in that span.

That's a 5-6 win team they have there that on paper shouldn't be a factor.

But it will be Darnold for them, who had a solid week and he does know our defense. Not a guaranteed win this weak.

If anyone is thinking about getting YouTube TV - I just want to say that I think it's amazing and no reason to have any other tv service.

im watching four college games at once and choosing which sound. Every major channel is on here with news, shows, movies (local or national).

It has abc, Fox etc so I can watch the niner games and any other game. It's awesome. Totally worth it and eff the other services.

They got lucky last year. We were missing Trent and Deebo. Brock got a concussion AND our defensive coordinator might as well as been hammered.

Took a lot for it to go there way.

IMO, these Vikings are built on ball control and keeping the score manageable. They won't be able to do that with us this time around.

took one of cousins best game of his career to do that. Darnold won't do that.

i predict:
38-13 niners
vikings have three turnovers.

we beat em like the rent is due.

49ers 34 Vikings 16

With the last touchdown being garbage time again like it was with the jets.

i feel like we know what to expect from the offense but im really excited to see if the defense looks awesome again. They were loose, decisive, and played as one unit last week. It made me realize how wonky our defense was last year :/

Go 49ers!

great point, I almost forgot how frustrating the defense was last year to watch, just knowing how good the personnel is and seeing them under perform during stretches and knowing it was scheme. Monday felt so much smoother. I would love to see some pressure on Sam, maybe get him to throw a few picks. YGM will be fun to watch.
Just don't hit Darnold too hard. He's a 49er legend

Yeah, it was frustrating because we were #1 defense the previous year (2022) and then we weren't a "bad" defense last year but def a big drop off from what we were used to the previous years.

it's only one week but I really liked what I saw. I think most if us were concerned about Sorensen - just because we are unsure of what to expect ya know? I didn't think he would do bad but until proven otherwise, it's concerning.

Watching the guys fly around against the jets really shines a light on how out of sync the defense was and over thinking last year, IMO.

The big thing I saw was immediate adjustment. We tried the soft zone on a drive, got burned

Immediately after, next drive, that stopped.

I think Wilkes did some good things but one thing that drove me crazy is it'd take into 2nd half to make adjustments. There are many examples of this throughout the season. We were still a really good defense but should've been better

Not ready to crown Sorensen or this D after one game but hard to not be excited
