00:00I did not find this to be one of those, like, certain losses really piss you off.
00:07This wasn't that to me.
00:08I know some Niner fans run that way.
00:11You know what I mean?
00:11I went for the morning walk with the dog today, and Shasky was mad.
00:16Mad.
00:17And I'm like, I get it.
00:18That's the way some Niner fans run.
00:21But I think in order to be mad, you had to think that that was going to go a different way.
00:26Right.
00:27And I didn't.
00:28And I didn't.
00:29And I will take you back to last week.
00:31And whether it's understandable or not, this was the reality that I was so upset about with regard to the trade deadline.
00:40If you think you can do some win one for the Gipper speech, Robert Sala going to coach him up and go get Luke Gifford to cover an NFL player
00:56with an elite future Hall of Fame quarterback standing in a clean pocket, uniform does not need laundering today at all,
01:07you're going to lose that game.
01:09Six touchdowns?
01:11Six?
01:12Six?
01:12Yep.
01:13Yep.
01:13For the other team?
01:14Five of five in the red zone.
01:16What are we doing?
01:17Yep.
01:17What are we doing?
01:18So sure, sure, you might beat Arizona.
01:21Might beat Carolina.
01:23Might beat Cleveland.
01:23I bet you will beat Tennessee.
01:26Absolutely.
01:27And you can work your way to your 10 or 11 wins.
01:30And you might make the playoffs.
01:32And I'll still predict that they will.
01:34And I'll be excited that they are.
01:36And I'll even, Dibs, I promise you this, I'll watch the game.
01:40You will?
01:40Yep.
01:40But talk to me.
01:42Jared Goff, Jalen Hurts, Jordan Love.
01:47Yep.
01:47I've heard of them.
01:48Baker Mayfield.
01:49Not bad.
01:50Matt Stafford.
01:51Pretty good.
01:51Sam Darnold.
01:52Yep.
01:52Those are the other six QBs going to the playoffs this year.
01:56They are going to torch your ass.
02:01Sorry.
02:02That's where we're at.
02:03Well, then win 45-44.
02:06And that's where this team is at.
02:08You can do that.
02:09You can, and that's where I look at yesterday, and I think about what you're saying, and
02:13you're not wrong.
02:14But you go out there, and you give up the opening touchdown.
02:16You go three and out on, you know, maybe there was a P.I. on that opening drive, and we can
02:22get into it.
02:23And I actually, you sent a text last night about P.I., and so I watched it again today, and
02:30I watched with that in mind, and I wrote down like three or four that, you know, maybe
02:36could have been called.
02:36And there were a couple that were called that were, like, declined because there actually
02:41was a catch.
02:42Well, there was only one P.I., I think, that was called, and it got nullified by an offsetting
02:47penalty that was clearly not a penalty.
02:51Well, yeah.
02:51But other than that, there was only two flags thrown on the Rams the whole game.
02:55There was one on Kittle out of catch, a 10-yard catch, where he caught it, he fumbled, and
03:01then it was actually a catch, but that was P.I., and they declined it because he caught
03:06the ball.
03:06Correct.
03:07And there was another one of those in the second half as well.
03:10But, I mean, you look at the way the game went, and you gave up a TD, you went three
03:15and out, you gave up a TD, and so now you're out of Shanahan's comfort zone.
03:19Totally.
03:19No, like, this is one of those games where I can, I have one officiating rant, but it's
03:24not even specific to the game yesterday.
03:27It's more specific, like, I'll use an example from the game yesterday for something that
03:32I think is a broader view thing, and we can do that a little bit later.
03:36Okay.
03:36But to me, you know this, I think most fans, it doesn't matter who you root for, you come
03:42away a little bit annoyed with refs.
03:45It's just how sports works, and that's fine, but then you have to assess what happened in
03:50the game that then suggests whether or not I'm allowed to make the refs or umps a thing
03:56the next day.
03:57And the Niners didn't earn that.
03:59I could sit here and tell you that I saw three or four P.I. calls not called, but it's not
04:04going to change the outcome of the game.
04:06You can't rush the passer at all.
04:11It is brick wall city every single play.
04:17Matt Stafford, step back.
04:19One, two, three, four, five, step drop.
04:21Look left, look center, look right, still clean pocket, step up, deliver ball, bang.
04:27Devontae Adams, wide open, middle of the field.
04:29You can't win in the NFL that way against someone like Matt Stafford.
04:36So go ahead and mark it down.
04:38I'm ready to make my season prediction.
04:40The Niners are going to get the seven seed in the playoffs, and they will therefore be
04:47on the road.
04:48Let's see.
04:49Who's probably going to get the one seed?
04:50Who looks like the one seed right now?
04:53Probably.
04:54I mean, maybe the winner of the Rams in Seattle.
04:56The winner of the Rams in Seattle.
04:57Exactly.
04:57Maybe.
04:57So let's say they get a bye.
05:00I mean, the seven seed then gets the two seed.
05:03Philly or Detroit.
05:04Yeah.
05:04Or Green Bay.
05:05I mean, you're probably kicking on the road in one of those games.
05:11You're going to give up 35 plus points.
05:14And thanks for your service.
05:16That's how I see the rest of the season going.
05:18And I'm not terribly mad at that based on circumstances.
05:24But it's disappointing.
05:27It's disappointing on two levels.
05:29One, that they didn't feel like there was a move that they could make at the deadline
05:33that would have helped.
05:34And two, it is disappointing because somehow, some way, the young players we were excited
05:41about at the beginning of the year are not moving through the system as quickly as I
05:47would have liked.
05:48And some of them seemingly have the shine worn off of them.
05:51Beginning of the year, we were excited about Marquise Siegel.
05:54Now I hate every safety on the Niners.
05:57I don't like any of them.
05:58Renardo Green last year, nice young player, still has moments, but meh.
06:03Okay.
06:04That, like, there's just even some of the pass rush guys who, out of these last two draft
06:11classes in that defensive backfield, are you like, I do, I like Upton Stout, but there's
06:18just, there's too many holes.
06:19There's too many holes.
06:20I do think that you have to look at it from a complimentary standpoint where, like, you
06:25know, Siegel and Green and even Lenore and Jair Brown, like, they are suffering because
06:31there's no pass rush.
06:32And the pass rush is suffering because you don't have Bosa, you don't have Mikel Williams,
06:37and you had, I guess, Bryce Huff played.
06:41I'm told he played, but he was not the Bryce Huff that we thought he would be.
06:44And I think the pass rush was so muted that the secondary is out there trying to cover
06:50for four seconds.
06:51And honestly, and the big problem, I thought, was that even when you brought a little bit
06:57of extra pressure and they did blitz a little bit more than normal, you had guys playing
07:01in off coverage.
07:02And so, you didn't have anybody step up and make plays that you wanted to make.
07:06Yep.
07:07Yep.
07:08So, like, again, kind of feels like the Niners are on a yo-yo right now.
07:15They got that 3-0 start, and then it's been lose one, win one, lose one, win one, lose
07:20one, win one.
07:20And it's kind of doing that, and so every Monday, you know, it'll feel like the sky's
07:25falling, and I'm pretty sure that the sky is not going to feel like it's falling when
07:30they get to the bye week.
07:31They got three more games before the bye.
07:34I feel good that that's a 2-1.
07:37Good-ish?
07:38Maybe a 3-0.
07:40If it's less than that, then I think then I'm going to lose some steam on the optimism.
07:45But I think it's probably at least a 2-1, which would put them at 8-4, or no, let's
07:53say 8-5, going into the bye with a home date against Tennessee when they come out.
07:59Like, this is, they're, hmm, I hate the word, they're fine.
08:04You love the word.
08:05They're fine.
08:06But it's just, boy, we've got to recalibrate what you think can come out of this season.
08:14Listen, the fairy tale ain't coming.
08:17The fairy tale is not coming.
08:19You cannot stop a good offense with this defense.
08:25And by the way, they know it.
08:27They freaking know it.
08:29And it's why the report came out, I think it was Mike Silver who had it first, reported
08:34that there were a number, quote, a number of people in the building very frustrated that
08:41the 49ers did not find a deal that they liked or would pull the trigger on or whatever.
08:47Does one player change the whole thing?
08:49I don't know.
08:50Probably not.
08:51No.
08:51Depends on who it is.
08:53Maybe it does.
08:54But the bottom line was the idea that this group was going to stop good offenses is wrong.
09:01So, they're not going to.
09:05So, stop thinking that that's coming.
09:08They're not.
09:09You're right.
09:1045-44.
09:12Yep.
09:12That's what we're going for.
09:13That's right.
09:14So, then if you're Shanahan, you need to start looking at your offense in that mindset.
09:19And you need to try to go about putting up 45 points.
09:23And, you know, yesterday, I thought that, especially as you go into the half where, I know it's
09:284th and 7, and it's about to be halftime, but go ahead and go for it.
09:32Try and pick up that 4th and 7.
09:34Wow.
09:35You've got, like, you're down 21-7.
09:37Yeah.
09:37Go ahead and try to pick up 8 yards and then maybe, I don't know, get a field goal or whatever.
09:43I mean, you weren't 8 yards away from a field goal.
09:46You were 8 yards away from being 8 yards away from trying a field goal.
09:49Well, you were 8 yards away from a first down, and then you could maybe, like, you know,
09:53get 10 more yards or 8 more yards.
09:55If you don't get it, they're 3 yards away from a field goal.
09:58But they have a new kicker, new long snapper, new everything.
10:02Fine.
10:02Still allowed to make it.
10:04Right.
10:04That kicker, by the way, looked like he had donuts a lot.
10:07That was one of the biggest kickers I've ever seen in my life.
10:09Yeah.
10:09Who is that guy?
10:10Like Janikowski.
10:11The thicker kicker.
10:11What?
10:11Thicker kicker.
10:12Yeah.
10:13No, but he was Janikowski.
10:14Cameron Dicker?
10:15Yeah, but doesn't work out.
10:16It'd be like if Janikowski just sat on a couch for a year eating nachos.
10:21That's what he looked like.
10:23He kind of looked like somebody on Halloween that had a football uniform.
10:27Nice.
10:28That's what he looked like.
10:29But anyway, I get it.
10:31Like, we always want you to go for it.
10:33I know.
10:33It's probably not.
10:35He knows in that moment we're going to get the ball coming out in the second half,
10:39and he felt good about them getting a touchdown, and guess what?
10:42They did.
10:44They did.
10:44Yep.
10:45But he's thinking in that moment, do I want to risk 24-7 or worse with the way our defense
10:51plays?
10:52Like, by the way, I think you can book that with the Niner defense.
10:56If you go for that fourth and seven and you don't get it, Rams score.
11:00At least three.
11:01At least three.
11:03Maybe.
11:03Stafford.
11:04Who do we want?
11:05Puka?
11:06Devontae?
11:07Tight end four?
11:08Parkinson?
11:09Whatever.
11:10Yeah.
11:10Just throw.
11:10Robinson?
11:11Whatever.
11:12You're all going to.
11:12No question in my mind, Rams score if you go for it on fourth and seven and don't get
11:17it.
11:17So, I get that.
11:19And he's like, we're going to get the ball.
11:20Let's make it 21-14.
11:22They did.
11:23And then, as he even said yesterday after the game, at some point in the second half, we're
11:28going to need to get a stop.
11:30Nope.
11:30Nope.
11:31Nope.
11:31I'm tired of watching defenses where I'm hoping on third down that the other team drops the
11:39ball.
11:40That's essentially what we're doing right now.
11:42We're hoping that the other team has a drop.
11:45Marvin Harrison obliged a few times.
11:49That, who's the Giants tight end?
11:52Is it Theo Johnson?
11:53He obliged a couple of times.
11:56So, if you do that, then yeah, you can get a stop.
11:59Then you can get a stop.
12:00But that's what we're rooting for.
12:02Nobody is not.
12:03Good Lord.
12:05How much?
12:06Chalk up another one.
12:07How many games in are we now on this interception thing?
12:10I know they got one in Houston.
12:12Yep.
12:12Yep.
12:12But it's one sort of fake pick.
12:15Sure.
12:15Are we at 16 games?
12:1916 games?
12:20Or more.
12:21This is unthinkable.
12:25How did that happen?
12:26The Jets still don't have a pick this year.
12:29That's correct.
12:30Yeah.
12:30And the Jets, they stink.
12:31That's right.
12:32And they traded a bunch of their people, including their best interception guy.
12:36And if you look at the Rams yesterday in the second half, they had a third and two.
12:41Niners blitz, Pinnock.
12:43And they were able to break that up.
12:45Fourth and two, they converted.
12:46And they had only one more third down the rest of the game.
12:51One more.
12:52And it was Parkinson, third and two, touchdown.
12:55Yeah.
12:56So, like, you couldn't even get them into third down.
12:59No.
12:59Is the point.
13:00Like, first down.
13:02Second down.
13:02Oop.
13:03First down.
13:04And that's, yeah.
13:07Well, you gotta change it up.
13:10No, you don't.
13:11You just need to change the opponent and not play Matt Stafford.
13:13Sure.
13:14Or Jalen Hurts.
13:15Or Jordan Love.
13:16Or Jared Goff.
13:17For now.
13:18Or Sam Darnold.
13:19Or Baker Mayfield.
13:21That's all.
13:22That's all.
13:23But if you think you're holding any of those guys under 30, you're not.
13:27You're not.
13:27Unless it's, like, snowing or something.
13:30Maybe go to Lambeau.
13:31Block a punt.
13:34And win a play.
13:35Who fun?
13:35Yeah.
13:35Maybe.
13:36They can do that if they want.
13:38But that's, so, for me, playoffs are a bust.
13:43Yep.
13:43After that, whatever.
13:45That's where I'm at.
13:46Like, I hope that we get a playoff game so we can make really decadent food and gather
13:54one time.
13:55One time.
13:56One time.
13:57And then on we go.
