Al Sacco

I write and say things about the #49ers and #NFL Formerly @AudacySports @KNBR Media Inquires: [email protected]

@DavidPallas11 For Buckner? 32 and in the last year of his deal. Might just be a 4th rd pick.

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

@DavidPallas11 No, I don’t think so. All about 2026 for the Niners

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

Time to bring him home. Colts should understand they’re done.

Buckner to 49ers for a mid-round pick.

[Stephen Holder @HolderStephen]

DeForest Buckner is (understandably) done.

Asked for reaction to the Colts’ third straight loss, he said, “I don’t know. How ‘bout you guess. I’m frustrated.”

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

We’ve seen Allen and Mahomes (who are generational talents) have issues when their weapons are out.

49ers went into a road game on a short week with Watkins and Cooks (who was on his couch 3 weeks ago) at WR.

What did people expect? A lot of season left.

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

Most kickers are all over the place. Pineiro’s been awful this year and 49ers should eat the money and replace him.

[OurSF49ers @OurSf49ers]

Eddy Pineiro said he needs to get back to the tape during the bye week and figure it out

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

Joe Torre used to talk about “turn the page” games. Sometimes, whether it’s injuries, an off day, etc. it’s just not your day.

Kinda felt this was a “punt” or “turn the page” game for the 49ers.

As long as Evans, Bosa, etc. will get healthy after the bye, 49ers will be okay.

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

@My2cents2day Dude, they don’t have their top 6 WRs. Im not sure what people expected out of this game

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

Okay…short week, 6-0, on the road, decimated by injuries and the bye week coming up. Kinda figured this would be a “punt game” for the 49ers.

Doesn’t make it any less frustrating but have a couple weeks to get healthy and ready for the second half at 6-1.

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

Narrator: It wasn’t a catch

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

That’s what I call a catch, Jordan Watkins

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

@justfor49ers Who? Me?

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

#49ers playing offense with one arm tied behind their back. Injuries are the only thing that can hold this team back.

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

@JL_Chapman I hear ya, and you know I’m the last person to make excuses for the team, but these are the back up RBs and they’re playing with the back ups to the back ups at WR. This felt like a game you kind of punt & live to play another day but Niners still can steal this one.

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

Playing without their top 6 WRs, really liked how Shanahan came out and attacked with the run and using CMC in the passing game.

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

Terrible call and terrible job by Caleb there.

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

Caleb Williams looks so much more decisive and comfortable this year.

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

@CoachDeg I agree with that 100%. Never want to punt on a game but it’s not the end of the world if they lose this week and then you come back after the bye and start to get some guys back for the second half.

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

For the most part, this 49ers regime has done very well with in-season trades whether it’s been a big name (Sanders, CMC) or someone like White or Charles Omenihu.

Even if it’s a lesser known addition still have to be confident it’ll be a solid move.

[Coach Yac 🗣 @Coach_Yac]

John Lynch says the team is looking for a trade like they made for Keion White. A player who can come right in with untapped potential and be a scheme fit. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a big move.

John also says he has to wait out teams who still believe they’re in the playoff race and used the NFC East as an example. Dog shit teams (he didn’t say that), but since the division isn’t good, they all think they’re still in it and won’t make a trade yet.

George Kittle is the fourth tight end all-time with at least five TD receptions in eight of his first 10 seasons, joining Antonio Gates (nine seasons), Travis Kelce (eight) and Greg Olsen (eight) (NFL Communications). #49ers

[Al Sacco @AlSacco49]

#49ers have had 11 different players record a sack this season. It’s been a group effort so far.
