Anyone else think the 49ers were toast in the 1st Q?

Sure looked like my concerns about the O-line’s pass protection ability were coming true. I was thinking Philly would win like something like 16 to 6.

1. Lots of groans

2. Beabo changes everything

McCafferty is great but Deabo is a tight end in the backfield with receiver speed.

3. No.

They're an explosive team. It's often just a matter of time before they start to click. They have so many weapons that teams usually can't cover all of them all game and start to wear down late.

Hard to believe they lost three straight. They're the best team in the NFL at the moment.

4. Hell no!

5. I MISSED IT 😀

My car battery ran down and I was waiting for a boost.

The rest was pretty damn good.

Maybe the battery was having sympathetic pains?

6. They did not look good

Then they woke up

7. The guy who started this thread:

did not think the 49ers were toast. Might be time to bump that thread. A thrashing of the league's best team while the Chiefs fall to the Packers. Hmm...

8. I didn't think the 49ers could lose to the Browns ...

or the struggling Bengals and Vikings.

Anything can happen in the NFL. It looked like Philly had put together a winning game plan. Then Shanahan adjusted the offense (looked like it to me) -- spread it out left to right and put Purdy in the shotgun.
