\"We're the San Francisco 49ers, we can do whatever we want.\"
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, […]
49ers expect Bryce Huff, Jake Brendel to miss two weeks“I don’t think it changes the urgency of it,” Shanahan said Monday on a conference call with Bay Area reporters. “It definitely sucks losing Huff, but it is a hamstring and hopefully it won’t be longer than two weeks. So we know he’s coming back and […]
There are two games on Monday Night Football. The first should be a relatively high-scoring game between the Detroit Lions and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield, as we know, always seems to find a way. Tonight, Mayfield will be without Bucky Irving again. He’ll also be without Chris Godwin. Mike Evans was upgraded to […]
The San Francisco 49ers pulled off a big 20-10 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football, improving to 5-2 as they got tight end George Kittle back for the first time since Week 1. However, the bad injury news continued for the 49ers, as head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed that defensive end Bryce […]
With all the injuries, the San Francisco 49ers ran their record to 5-2 on the season and tied with the Los Angeles Rams, barring the result of Seattle vs Houston, atop the NFC West. You have to hand it to these 49ers; the effort is evident, the team is all the way bought in, and […]
Here are some numbers that will be important shortly. These concern a few players on the Atlanta Falcons after their two-game win streak over the Washington Commanders and Buffalo Bills, respectively. Let’s start with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Going into the Sunday Night game against the San Francisco 49ers, Penix threw 20-32 (62.5 percent completions), […]
After an emotional Week 6 loss to Tampa Bay, the San Francisco 49ers returned to their winning ways with a 20-10 win on Sunday Night Football over the Atlanta Falcons. The win moves the 49ers to 5-2 in what was their most impressive win on the season so far. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh had his […]
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones earned one of the escalators in his contract after helping the team win on Sunday Night against the Atlanta Falcons. Jones made $400,000 since that was his fourth win of the season. Jones can continue to earn more incentives, so long as he remains on the field. Of course, […]
That was the kind of complementary football that Kyle Shanahan always references. The offense ran the ball 39 times. The defense held the opposition to under 300 yards. And Eddy Pineiro was 2-for-2, and good from 55. There were plenty of performances that stood out on Sunday Night Football. Let’s talk about them. Winners Christian […]
The San Francisco 49ers beat the Atlanta Falcons 20-10 at home on Sunday Night Football, improving to 5-2 on the season and 4-1 with backup quarterback Mac Jones at the helm. It was expected to be a tough game for the 49ers, as the Falcons had just beaten the Buffalo Bills 24-14 and seemed to […]
The San Francisco 49ers forced a three-and-out on the first drive of the game, thanks to a Robert Saleh blitz. The offense answered with a 9-play drive of their own with a couple of impressive rushes by Brian Robinson. However, Mac Jones couldn’t connect with Jauan Jennings on 3rd & 9. The Falcons hit a […]
The 3-2 Atlanta Falcons are coming off an impressive Monday Night Football win over the Buffalo Bills at home. Now, Atlanta travels across the country on a short week to take on the 4-2 San Francisco 49ers. Despite both teams boasting winning records, they have a combined point differential of -3. You generally want to […]
The San Francisco 49ers won’t have Brock Purdy and Ricky Pearsall. We knew that was the case. However, the team will also be without rookies Jordan Watkins and Upton Stout. Watkins was off the injury report, but the team is opting to prioritize special teams on Sunday Night Football with Malik Turner. Mac Jones will […]
The 49ers have dealt with more upheaval at the wide receiver position this week, with veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling released from injured reserve after suffering a calf injury. With Ricky Pearsall still waiting to return from a knee issue, the 49ers are severely lacking in wide receivers on whom they know they can rely. But their […]
The Rams beat down the Jaguars across the pond in a game that was never close. They inch closer to the 49ers, who hope the Cardinals drop a game to the Packers later this afternoon. We’ll have to wait until Monday to see if the Seahawks drop a game. This morning doesn’t have any marquee […]
The San Francisco 49ers officially placed linebacker Fred Warner on Injured Reserve on Saturday, as he’s expected to miss the rest of the year with a broken and dislocated ankle. The 49ers didn’t activate a linebacker from the practice squad ahead of the game, setting up rookie Nick Martin to make his NFL debut on […]
The San Francisco 49ers have a primetime opportunity in Week 7, taking on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football at Levi’s Stadium. It’s a big game for the 49ers, who currently stand 4-2 atop the NFC West, but are tied with the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks record-wise. Once again, they’ll be […]
49ers’ first test without Fred Warner? Bijan Robinson and Falcons’ top rushing attack (paywall)“Bethune dons the same number Warner wore as a rookie — No. 48 — but that’s where the comparison starts and ends. “A lot of people have got to remember, he’s only in his second year, you can really call him a rookie because […]
We had the opportunity to sit down with San Francisco 49ers legend Frank Gore on Friday, thanks to his sponsorship with Lowe’s. Frank teams up with Lowe’s to help support the Earn Your Sundays Trailer, where they do giveaways, have Madden Games, and test your football skills. Gore’s title with the Niners is “Football Personnel […]
