2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

lol Sam Darnold bout to break Cam Newton TD rushing record. First QB ever with 5 rushing TD in first 4 games.

The 49ers overhauled their str and conditioning staff like 3 times in 7 years I believe. Maybe its the person whos doing the hiring. Like what the fuck is going on. Literally almost 3 straight years of nothing but injuries and disappointment.

At least Lance is the man now. Jimmy G never starting again if Lance balls out next few weeks.

Lol at the kicker going down during warmups.

The str and conditioning is so terrible over there guys have to warm up to safely do warm ups.

Jimmy G is 24-8 as a starter, facts not feels. I get it, he can't stay healthy most seasons so in this case you have no choice. But, I love the rush from fans to throw in the "flashy" dinger, because it worked out GREAT the last time.

"Omg we know what we have with Alex Smith! At least Kaepernick can do work with his legs!!" - sounds like the fuckin' Twilight Zone.

Jimmy G is a lame duck bro.

I have rooted for the guy the last 4 years. He almost got it done, but didnt. He could almost stay healthy, but didnt.

Look at guys like Wilson, Stafford fuck even Kyler Murray. They dont miss games. And two of those guys are subjected to WAY more hits.

The football gods work in mysterious ways. If Lance plays its better for the franchise going forward as he needs playing time. Garoppolo only has 8 games left and then he is gone, and thats if the injury is only a few weeks.

If Trey plays well and the 49ers are winning Garoppolo turns into a solid backup as the season matures.

Takeaways from Cowboys game:

1) Elliot is a very very good RB when he's splitting time with another productive RB. Obviously not worth all the money the Cowboys are paying him, but he's miles better than he was last year.

2) The Cowboys will win the NFC East, look like a true SB contender, and then their head coach will torpedo a playoff game with his infamous clock management. Phazael can fill you in if you need more details.

3) The first 2-pt conversion was the right thing to do and the right play was called. Dak screwed it up by throwing behind his receiver.


Bonus Opinion: Someday Mac Jones may be as good as Dak. But not today. HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS.

I mean being good in a shit division is certainly better than being bad in a shit division.

was barely any wind i was traveling from NY fingler lakes area back to home and it rained all freaking trip. but the wind was MAYBE 5-10 mph.

it was a good game. Jones played Very Well last night in the rain , it is not his fault the kick doinked - really fucking loudly too- off the post for the loss. he got the team in position- albeit a long- for a field goal to potentially win the game.

The team needs to learn how to Win the game now,

they are improving weekly, just need to take that next step to winning.

You had one job!

They had 3 trips in the redzone and got zero points. Take the FG dummy!

How the fuck did my powerhouse Bills lose to those terrible Steelers lol.

hey dudes with rookie QBs, chill out. Took Josh until year 3 to be the hero we have today.

oh i know. i have ZERO expectations beyond, Better than Newton.

IF the team can learn to win, they will most likely make the playoffs. right now, for the most part beyond a few mistakes,

Mac Jones has been good. yesterday he had 19 passes in a row caught (nfl record for a rookie)

God forbid there be some middle ground with you.

They invested 3 1st round picks into Trey Lance, he is going to play eventually or that is a colossal waste of resources. I am firmly in the camp of let Lance play and get in his lumps sooner than later. I am under no illusion that he is going to come in and rack up 1000 yards rushing or complete even 65% of his passes. He will probably have a whole lot of boneheaded plays and turnovers, kinda like what we already have at QB.

I absolutely hate the QB wins stat because there is no more team sport than football. Yes, QB is 100% the most important position, but very few QB's are going to truly elevate your team, and Jimmy G is not in that list. If you include all the injuries the 49ers had last year, except for Jimmy G, I maintain they don't win many more games than they did. Maybe 1 or 2. Maybe.

Trey Lance is the future at QB for the 49ers. It may be a short future, but until you get him out there to play you will never know. The 49ers have a talented roster (if they can stop losing players to injury), so he isn't out there on his own.

Sure, you can't invest that level of capital and not believe that he's eventually going to be "the guy". I just don't understand the rush to throw him to the wolves when Jimmy G is still getting victories (when healthy) - his only full season he takes the team to the Super Bowl.

A competent QB who could help your team win if he had everything else working for him. However he was never going to elevate your team to a win.

So, Jimmy G, basically? Him and Alex Smith are practically the same QB. And now people want the guy thrown in the trash, because they barely lost to a really solid Packers team. While he did put them in some bad spots, he did everything he needed to win that game, but the defense fucked it up at the end. He beat the brakes off the Lions and the defense let them right back into the game - gets no credit for that, just people pissed that he didn't score 24 points in the second half like he did the first.

Like I said, this is all very reminiscent of the 2012 season for the 49ers. Clamoring to throw in "new blood" because our current QB isn't winning 35-14 every game, gets hurt, and then the "flashy" guys beats the fuck out of a really bad Bears team. I'm not saying that Jimmy G is elite like Flacco, or even that far above average. But, he still gives the team the best chance to win games when he's healthy. I was pretty lukewarm on the guy until that Saints and Seattle game in 2019.

It's all moot now though. Jimmy is hurt (again) and now the 49ers are going to find out what they "have" with Lance. Bad news for Lance is that he's going to have Chandler Jones up his ass with no Trent Williams at LT to block him. He doesn't get some dumpster Bears team in his first game like Kaepernick.

When's the last time a 1-3 team ended up making playoffs?

Not mine….but ya it’s possible

An Analysis of the History of 1-3 Teams and their Playoff Chances (long post warning)

We've all heard the stat regarding 0-2, 0-3 starts and how they correlate to playoff appearances. 12% chance at 0-2, only 3 teams have done it from 0-3 since 1990, etc. I decided to look at those 0-3 teams, narrowing the search to since 2002, when the current divisional alignment was put in place, and see how they fared in their next games, and what the eventual outcome was of their seasons. Some of those teams, like the Ravens, won their 4th game to get to 1-3, and I wanted to see how those teams fared as well. Here are the results:

Indeed, as has been stated by many media outlets, no 0-3 team has made the playoffs since 1998, which means none of the 64 teams since 2002 has either. On average, these teams ended up with a record of 4.6-11.4, or about 5-11. Their record in the next three games was hugely important in determining how well their season ended as well. Those that lost their next three to fall to 0-6 (19 teams) ended up with an average record of 3.3-12.7, or about 3-13, while those that won 2 of their next 3 to improve to 2-4 (also 19 teams) averaged a 5.8-10.2, or 6-10 record. Only one team, the 2011 Chiefs, managed to win their next 3 and even up their record at 3-3, and they ended the season with a 7-9 record. Only the 2004 Bills (who went 1-2 in their second 3 games to get to 1-5 at Week 6) ended the season with a winning record at 9-7.

But 0-3 is history right? It doesn't matter that we were 0-3, the only thing that matters is that we're 1-3 now, and we're in the same position as a team that started the season 1-0 and dropped its next 3. So how did the teams that started 1-3 (by any means) fare in their subsequent 3 games, and their eventual seasons?

Of the 64 0-3 teams, 20 won (as the Ravens did) their 4th game to improve to 1-3. None of these teams made the playoffs. However, of the 89 teams that have started 1-3 since 2002, 11 teams actually have made it, or about 12%. Basically, being 1-3 is about as good (or bad) as being 0-2 when it comes to your odds of making the playoffs.
