49ers’ offense receives reminder of lack of room for error in Week 10 loss
In the wake of a defeat in which the Los Angeles Rams did basically whatever they wanted when they had the ball, the search for reasons to be cheerful for the 49ers might seem as futile as San Francisco’s comeback efforts ultimately proved to be. But the cause for optimism as the 49ers, now 6-4, […]
NFC West standings: 49ers sit firmer in third place with Rams, Seahawks winning
Yeah, this is not going to be a good Monday. The San Francisco 49ers suffered their first NFC West divisional loss on Sunday to the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are good, and the 49ers—specifically their defense—are snakebit with injuries. The loss puts the Rams into a tie with the Seahawks. The two will play […]
Golden Nuggets: Pain
After sobering loss to Rams, 49ers seek reset as Brock Purdy nears return (paywall)“This week’s opponent, the Cardinals, who lost 44-22 to Seattle, are a much softer re-entry place for Purdy than the Rams defense would have been. The same goes for the grass in Arizona, as opposed to the turf the last two weeks […]
3 quick takeaways from 49ers 42-26 loss to Rams: Houston, we have a problem
The San Francisco 49ers had an ugly 42-26 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in a game that they trailed by at least two scores for over 40 minutes. It was an ugly start for San Francisco, one they couldn’t overcome as the defense struggled and the offense had some costly turnovers that led to […]
Rams do whatever they want in blowout win over the 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers did not get off to the start that they wanted. The Los Angeles Rams did what most teams do on their opening drive, taking ten plays to score a touchdown, with little resistance. In what needed to be a game of keep away, the 49ers offense went three-and-out on its first […]
49ers-Rams game thread: Don’t forget about George Kittle today, Kyle
We have a Week 5 rematch between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams. The 49ers were victors on the road, thanks to some heroics from Alfred Collins and timely defensive stops. This time around, the 49ers won’t have Collins. Nor will they have Fred Warner. Robert Saleh will have his hands full […]
Brock Purdy is ‘looking to return’ in Week 11; 49ers’ Week 5 savior against the Rams is inactive
San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback Brock Purdy was potentially set to back up Mac Jones today. Reports of Purdy getting closer resurfaced on Sunday morning. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo spoke about Purdy’s near future: He’s getting closer. I know you’ve heard that repeatedly. Well, they’re looking at the potential for him to return in Week […]
Week 10 early game thread: What game are you watching this morning?
The Atlanta Falcons fell to the Indianapolis Colts in Berlin this morning. The early slate in Week 10 features some watchable games as well as a couple of games where the weather will dictate quite a bit. There is snow and wind in Chicago. Jaxson Dart and Caleb Williams could struggle to manufacture offense. DeMeco […]
3 keys to a 49ers win over the Rams: How do the Niners stop the MVP?
The San Francisco 49ers are back in action on Sunday, taking on the Los Angeles Rams at Levi’s Stadium, with much at stake in the NFC West. Earlier this season, the 49ers had a big upset over the Rams back in Week 5, winning 26-23 in an overtime game despite dealing with a flurry of […]
Golden Nuggets: GAME DAY!!!!!!!!!!
How Brock Purdy helped the 49ers prepare for the Rams“It’s been awesome having Brock in there. He’s kind of splitting the reps of the scout team with Adrian. But just having two quarterbacks in there, especially Brock, who can make some of these plays, look people off, do some of the things Stafford does, it […]
49ers activate a potential starter from the Injured Reserve
The San Francisco 49ers officially placed Mykel Williams on the Injured Reserve on Saturday.

The Golden Fool’s Mailbag: More acquisitions after the trade deadline? Is Tatum Bethune legit? What happens to Robert Saleh in 2026?
We’re back with another mailbag, and WOW! We had a lot of questions this week. Apologies, I can’t answer them all. I do appreciate everyone participating. Seems like we have a lot of questions about the 2025 San Francisco 49ers. As always, head to the feed when I drop the mailbag post and get your […]
It’s more complicated than just “starting” Brock Purdy
The San Francisco 49ers may want Brock Purdy to start Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, but he’s recovering from an injury. Maybe he’s getting pushed this week, but he’s recovering from an injury. And yes, he could still dress as QB2 — because he’s recovering from an injury. That’s it. No quarterback controversy, no […]
Golden Nuggets: Another imMaculate weekend of football
49ers’ NFL grandmaster Christian McCaffrey has kept team from facing checkmate (paywall)“A regular on Chess.com, his username is rather conspicuous. It’s his first and last name, followed by some random assortment of numbers. He isn’t sure if his Greek opponent knows it was the NFL leader in carries, touches and scrimmage yards who just checkmated his […]
It’ll be the Mac Jones show once again against the Rams
The San Francisco 49ers’ final injury report is out. Will this be the week Brock Purdy returns to practice?

How will the depleted 49ers defense attack the Rams?
The San Francisco 49ers have a big challenge ahead of them this weekend, as they’ll face the Los Angeles Rams at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday in a big divisional game.

The 49ers need Trent Williams’ best game of 2025 against the Rams
Trent Williams is a first ballot Hall of Famer. Also, there is an argument for Williams being the greatest left tackle in NFL history. The San Francisco 49ers pulled off a miracle when they traded for Williams following Joe Staley’s retirement announcement. Going from a Hall of Famer to another Hall of Famer at the […]
Kyle Shanahan’s masterful usage of Kyle Juszczyk could have huge impact on 49ers’ playoff push
The 49ers continue to deal with injury issues at wide receiver, as they will likely again be without Ricky Pearsall as well as long-term absentee Brandon Aiyuk for the visit of the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. San Francisco’s adversity at the pass-catching spots has meant that, for most of the year, the aerial attack […]
Robert Saleh says Keion White reminds him of one of his former players; talks Renardo Green’s ascension and potential leaders
It’s been a challenging season for San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh. We saw the potential of what a healthy defense could look like in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks when they held that offense to 13 points. Since then, no team has kept the Seahawks under 20 points. There have been four […]

Robert Saleh, Klay Kubiak, Mac Jones preview 49ers-Rams Week 10 matchup“Here’s everything they said.” Kawakami: The long, clear road to the 49ers’ silent deadline (paywall)“(Note: The 49ers will probably get a good pick or two back if and when they trade Mac Jones next offseason, but it would’ve been difficult for the 49ers to factor […]
3 players were added to the 49ers injury report
The San Francisco 49ers’ injury report is out for Thursday, and there were a few changes. As always, Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams were full participants after having their typical veteran day off.

John Lynch says the 49ers are close to opening Brandon Aiyuk’s practice window
Injuries have been the storyline for the San Francisco 49ers all season long, as the team has dealt with serious issues with several starters, including stars Nick Bosa and Fred Warner.
