@dan_bruck No, they’re not, but that defense can still fuck your night up.
And let’s be honest, without Mike Evans, the Niners don’t win that first game. We can spin that however we want, but it’s true.
The 49ers are going from playing one of the worst defenses in the NFL, to the no. 1 and no. 2 defenses, in consecutive weeks.
I talk shit about DAL for fun, but the 49ers need to win this game, because the next two are going to be brutal.
If the 49ers best offensive season under Shanahan is 2023, and their best defensive season was 2019, where does the 2026 team stack up so far?
Through nine weeks, is it fair to say that this is probably the most balanced team Shanahan has had as the head coach of the 49ers?
@malcolmtey I dunno about Cooks. Unless he really starts to turn it on. Might be a little long in the tooth, which is hilarious when you consider the age of the other receivers lol.
I feel like the next season of Quarterback is gonna be interesting…
Hopefully they followed Brock Purdy, Trevor Lawrence, and Caleb Williams.
Instead, I bet we get, like…Jalen Hurts, Tyler Shough, and Kyler Murray. 😆
Jerry Rice was asked his thoughts on the 49ers trading for Keenan Allen:
“We should win the whole thing. That’s all I have to say. What we have in the receiver room, and if we can get these guys all healthy at the same time, it should be a no-brainer.”
Rice goes on to say the connection between Brock Purdy and Keenan will be a match made in heaven

@_jaymck_ And who knows, maybe all four of them make it, but it’s hard enough to get three teams from one division in the playoffs, let alone four.
So let’s say it comes down to Seattle or Detroit, who do you feel more confident about getting in? My money is on Seattle.
If the playoffs started tomorrow, the NFC would look like this:
1 49ers
7 Packers at 2 Bears
6 Vikings at 3 Giants
5 Lions at 4 Panthers
I STILL believe that the Rams or the Seahawks are gonna beat out one of those NFC North teams.
And if I had to guess, I think it’s DET.
The NFC is going to be decided between the West and the North. I don’t believe there are any true contenders in the east or the south.
And if there is, who?
DAL? NYG? I’m just not seeing it.
@DonAtkinsonNFL Who knows what these guys actually believe. They get handed a script and get told what to say. Guy probably doesn’t even watch the games anymore.
@MauriceK1421 Not necessarily. You could lose a close, hard-fought battle to either one of those teams and still believe the Niners are contenders. Your confidence might be a bit shaken, but that’s about it.
Now, if you get blown out by one, or both of them, that another matter.
