I walked my dog, score 41-26. I came back to witness the atrocious Special Teams Play to give the 49ers the ball down 2. After I politely yelled WTF I turned off the tv. I didn't know they won until a few minutes ago. Fell asleep and really didn't want to know. My ticker can't take the Rams close calls like it used to be able.

That's good as those people got to watch a fun game.

Next week's game is on CBS, right?

Put some bubble wrap on your ticker, it's gonna be a ride now.

My wife asked me why I kept sighing last night while watching the end of the game on my phone. Give up a touchdown. *sigh* Well whatever, only 4 minutes of clock to run out. Fumble the kickoff and turn it over. *sigh again*. Give up a touchdown, but not the 2 point conversion, great! Then give up the onside kick. *more sighs* It's definitely more fun watching this year, especially with the offensive play, but the special teams drove me nuts yesterday. Even now I still feel like sighing.

Yeah but the defense came through at the end when they had too. Stopping the 2 pt conversion and then playing stout after the onside kick was great to see. Found a way to win despite gifting SF opportunity after opportunity that they didn't really earn.

That game wasn't as close as the score was. I don't believe that was lost on anyone.

My best guess:

Nationally televised game. New coaches. This game has more pressure than usual.

Whichever HC keeps their head clear, and calls a good game will be a factor.

Whichever team commits less mistakes, likely will win.

Did I not call this?

Notes --

Positives:

3rd down conversion rate good
Passes caught in stride
Gurley grinding to 100 yards
Sammy Watkins presence established


Negatives:

Too many penalties; better teams than 49ers will take advantage of this
Improve touch on the ball by Goff; some nice throws, but receivers had to do too much adjusting to catch
Back 7 look suspect & seem to lack depth at several positions
Fundamental mistakes on defense & special teams

Goff isn't the next coming, yet, but he looks real good for a 2nd year player and a lot better than the guy taken just behind him. He's got some flaws, but he's young and he's got what appears to be a good HC to help work on those flaws. Assuming he continues to progress it is going to suck going up against him twice a year into the future.
