The San Francisco 49ers had a quiet offseason this year, electing to cut bait with several veterans rather than looking to add marquee talent in free agency. Instead, they focused on the draft, where they added 11 rookies to the roster, including current starters Mykel Williams, Upton Stout, and Connor Colby, as well as rotational […]

Good morning, baseball fans! The 2025 World Series doesn’t start until Friday. I know we are all ready to do our part in cheering for the Not-Dodgers, but we’ve still got a couple of days to go. So in the meantime, the San Francisco Giants social media team shared a video on their YouTube channel […]
The Atlanta Falcons disappointed in primetime, but we still saw performances that give us hope the team can get back on track. We also saw some that will keep them off the track if they can’t adjust in time. Here’s the Week 7 3 up and 3 down. 3 up Jake Matthews 184 consecutive starts […]
Why 49ers coaching is NFL’s best this year, and Bears running wild: Week 7 film review (paywall)“The 49ers staff was on top of breaking its own tendencies and staying on top of the Falcons’ tendencies. It was the difference in the game in which the Falcons had a significant health advantage. On top of the […]
Houston nearly beat the Warriors last postseason in a thrilling seven-game series. They have accrued so many young players over the last handful of years in their rebuild after James Harden left, and last year’s playoff exit signaled the need for a change. Jalen Green was the obvious candidate to be shipped out, and that […]
LOS ANGELES – Championship habits and obsession. All training camp long, head coach JJ Redick repeated these statements to the team, the media and anyone who would listen. But none of those words reflected the actions the Lakers displayed in their home opener, a 119-109 loss to the Warriors. The result, while disappointing, shouldn’t have been a shocker […]
It wasn’t noticeable to most, if any, Lakers fans watching the game from home on Tuesday, but those in attendance caught a concerning couple of moments from Luka Dončić against the Warriors. In the closing moments of the contest, Luka reached for the inside of his leg near his groin multiple times. Given similar injuries […]
The beauty and frustration of opening night in the NBA season is that months and months of anticipation leads to a game that, in the grand scheme of things, matters no more in an 82-game season than a mid-January matchup even if it feels so much bigger. All eyes were on the Lakers as part […]
Despite a frantic finish, the Lakers fell to the Warriors on Tuesday, 119-109. After trailing by 16 in the fourth quarter, the Lakers trimmed the lead down to six but never got any closer. Luka Dončić dominated throughout, scoring 43 points on 17-27 shooting with 12 rebounds and nine assists. Austin Reaves ended with 26 […]
The Islanders established a three-game win streak and upended their 0-3 start with a 4-3 win over the winless San Jose Sharks Tuesday in Elmont. Mathew Schaefer continued his now six-game points streak to start his career with his first two-point game, a goal and an assist earning him his first first star nod. In […]
Yesterday, I started to take stock of some of the highest-ranking San Francisco Giants prospects. I planned to look at how the stock had changed for the top 44 prospects, as determined by our preseason Community Prospect List. I only made it halfway through, then decided it was best to break this into two articles. […]
Oddsmakers have given Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers the utmost respect this season. Through seven games, the only games the Niners weren’t favored to win came against the Los Angeles Rams on a short week without Brock Purdy, Ricky Pearsall, and Jauan Jennings, and a road trip in a tough spot against the […]
The San Francisco 49ers got back in the win column with a convincing win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football, following their win over the Buffalo Bills last Monday night. For the first time in 2025, the 49ers offense resembled the physical team from years past, and the running game got on track. […]
On Monday, we shared how Brock Purdy was dealing with an “annoying injury” that has made him day-to-day. Also on Monday, head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that it would be a reach to say Purdy is on track to start this week since “No one has said that.” The next two games the 49ers play […]
Sunday night’s 20-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons for the San Francisco 49ers was a masterclass performance from both Kyle Shanahan and Robert Saleh. With both sides of the ball dealing with plenty of injuries, the 49ers put together their best performance of the 2025 season thanks to a solid game plan from Shanahan and […]

Injuries have been ramping up for the San Francisco 49ers, who found a way to improve to 5-2 on Sunday with a 20-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons. San Francisco will be without pass-rusher Bryce Huff and center Jake Brendel for multiple weeks due to hamstring injuries, adding to their already-loaded injury list. Huff’s loss […]

George Kittle had, until Sunday, played the role of spectator as the 49ers have made an impressive start to the 2025 season amid a catalogue of injuries to star players. He made his return in Week 7 to play a key role in a signature win arguably on a par with the Week 5 road […]
So, apparently, you can push the ball carrier forward, but you cannot pull them. In my decade of doing this, I was unaware this was even a rule until Sunday night when the 49ers solidified their 20-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons. If you push (READ: The Tush-Push), it’s fine—at least through 2025. If you […]
Well, the 49ers beat the Atlanta Falcons. This was a not just a pallet cleanser for that ho-hum showing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it also gave some legitimacy to the 2025 49ers. They were able to hold one of the better offenses in the NFL (well, at this point, anyways) to 10 points, […]
