Not a good start, 3 & out despite 9 yards from K9 on the first play ...

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 2:42 pm

Cant tackle for sh1t today, hop they keep passing

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 2:49 pm

2nd possession, same result

by **curmudgeon** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 2:49 pm

Matador Metcalf….

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 2:58 pm

have to answer now

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:00 pm

Hey, a first down!

by **trents** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:03 pm

We're too predictable in 2nd and 3rd and short. We run every time and SF is expecting that.

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:06 pm

we didn't that time

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:14 pm

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:15 pm

Now if we can just tackle ...

Direct snap to Walker for a first down! Brilliant! I'd like to see creative play calling like that more often. Gotta figure out ways to use SF's aggressiveness against them.

by **RiverDog** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:20 pm

3rd time's a charm, nice drive. Walker's looking good. Weather doesn't seem to be much of a factor. Defense has yet to force a punt even though Purdy looks out of sync.

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:22 pm

Yeah defense is our glaring problem

by **RiverDog** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:25 pm

Geez, you can actually see shadows!! Eye of the hurricane?

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:28 pm

the weather is about irrelevant isn't it

It is so far. No baseball cap for Pete.

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:34 pm

D Effin' K!!!

by **RiverDog** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:34 pm

Wow, great play! It looked like Ward was expecting Metcalf to break that one off. Blitz was on, one-on-one on the outside.

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:35 pm

Aannnnd we have the lead!

by **trents** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:39 pm

We finally get to see Metcalf's speed pay off. They'll double him from here on out so that should free up Lockett.

by **Aseahawkfan** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:39 pm

Shock the world we will!

And for the love of the football gods, please draft us a LB or SS who can bring the hammer. And some vicious D-line.

by **RiverDog** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:39 pm

Finally, we get a stop!

I'm not impressed with Purdy at all. That 3rd down pass was thrown into heavy traffic. We get a little pressure on him, we should be able to get a turnover.

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:40 pm

Nice of our defense to join the party

He really didn't run away with him. It looked to me like Ward was expecting him to break it off and it caused him to hesitate just enough to allow Metcalf to get a step on him. They had a blitz on so they were expecting the ball to come out quicker. Kudos to the OL keeping Geno clean by picking up the blitz.

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:46 pm

What a horribly called series

by **RiverDog** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:47 pm

Yeah, that third and 8 was a curious call.

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:48 pm

Aiyuk is invisible to our secondary

True, but Ward couldn't gain ground on him after the catch and it was a long enough play for that to have happened but Metcalf's speed prevented it.

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:55 pm

I'll take holding 'em to a FG there, there was a real danger of them doubling up with 2 tds bookending halftime

by **RiverDog** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:56 pm

Boy, Purdy looks horrible, over throwing receivers, jamming balls into tight windows, breaking the pocket when he doesn't have to. He's 9-19 so far in the first half.

Man, stupid penalty on the Niners! What a dumb chit!

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:56 pm

Thanks Ward

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:58 pm

Great half!

by **RiverDog** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:59 pm

That was a bad decision by Geno to run with that little time left, but he got bailed out. But yeah, great half!

by **RiverDog** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 4:03 pm

Like the announcers said, little mistakes in a close game can make a big difference. That penalty on Ward, next to the one in the Packers game last week, was the stupidest penalty I've seen this season. That penalty isn't committed, time runs out, and the Niners lead at the half. If we win this game by less than a FG, you can bookmark that penalty.

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 4:22 pm

Not that it matters but that was a td by CMC

by **RiverDog** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 4:23 pm

Agreed. They should have called it a TD then it would have been automatically reviewed as a scoring play.

Man, that drive took up over half of the 3rd quarter. CMC has 90 yards on 11 carries.

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 4:25 pm

Well, they ain't on a 10 game winning streak by accident

by **c_hawkbob** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 4:28 pm

When did DK lose the binkie?

by **RiverDog** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 4:29 pm

One thing is for sure: Hawktawk can't b**** about the officiating in this game. Did you see Walker push that defender out of the way? Zero penalties called on us so far.

by **RiverDog** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 4:31 pm

I should have knocked on wood.
