49ERS at VIKINGS Pregame Thread - 2024 Season Week 2

Took the under for Darnold over/under 239.5 passing yards

Just watching last years first series of plays in last year's game versus the Vikings. CMC's fumble hurt us. We were in the Vikings red zone about to score. Also they ran over our defense.

Idk if we'll beat the Chiefs but tbh I wouldn't be surprised if we did. They're clearly a weaker team in the regular season. Just ask the Bills.

The refs are weaker in regular season, they tighten up for the playoffs to help them move on.

Can we beat these turds or what?

I can't stand losing to mid teams.

I don't see us sleeping against this team, maybe by week 8 or 9 our team might sleepwalk and lose against someone we weren't supposed to lose to.

This does seem to happen at least twice a year.

also that was the game where they had a td on the last play before the half where Addison (?) like ripped it away from ward? I remember we lost that game to ourselves

J Jefferson vs C Ward

Harrison Smith would be a huge loss to the Vikes if he can't go. Smith always gives the 9ers trouble.

Only got 3 actual years from Navarro. He was more unrealized potential than anything.

If Fred warner went down today and never played again...Bowman had more success in some areas in his 89 games then Fred in his 93 or whatever games

I think it was a little more then potential, he had on field performance

Bowman has more tackles, more tackles for loss, more sacks

For me personally I think sacks, ffs, pass defenses, interceptions and tackles for loss matter a ton...tackles don't just happen...but most linebackers get tackles...it's the impact plays that matter

Bowman played more in traffic, and warner is at his best in space. I think warner's role is harder to play in the Bowman's

That is where Warner's impact plays stand out...more pass defenses, more ffs, and more ints. In some cases twice as many...so it is not like it is from a few more games.

I think many of us remember Bowman starting to rival the best in the game when his career ended, so we think lost potential...but even before that the guy was really good.

To be fair, I think of Fred the same way...I think we see a fraction of what he would do in a Tampa 2. As great as he is, in a way he is squeezed into more disciplined---limiting---- role for the sake of the defense. If he had Brian Urlacher's role we would see multiple 10+ pass defense , 5 int seasons. We get some of that now since he does get to roam the middle, but it would be awesome to see him plant his flag there down in and down out.

Vikings guard Ed Ingram (9.3 pass blocking grade) and Center Garrett Bradbury (26.8) struggled against Dexter Lawrence on Sunday. The two combined for 10 pressures and a sack. Javon Hargrave and Maliek Collins will have their shots to blow up the middle of the line. #49ers
