welcome back cmc! sorry i didn't see much of your plays since i was stuck in the chaos of brooklyn's costco. i did manage to catch ricky pearsall's first nfl touchdown before i headed out of the house. i suffered watching gamecast on my phone and honestly it looked to be very frustrating with jake moody missing three field goals. it got so frustrating that deebo samuel put a hands on long snapper taybor pepper. i really don't love when teammates get on teammates. needless to say i wasn't confident when moody was up to kick a game winning field goal, but he redeemed himself. we finally got a back-to-back win. wow, this season has been rough and next week is another BIG game at home against our division rivals, seattle seahawks. our division is so tight and we will have to get better.From The Bay to Tampa Bay, we see you Faithful. pic.twitter.com/DhzSFLLG4b

thank goodness we got this win against the cowboys. i wasn't feeling confident going up against kansas city last weekend, but i NEEDED the niners to comeback strong. the defense still is making me feel uneasy late, but there were bright spots with two picks. i'm happy george kittle got to celebrate national tight ends day with some monster catches and a touchdown. starting running back jordan mason went down, and i was impressed by the "next man up" mentality of rookie isaac guerendo. we are banged up and if i have to hear a commenter mention "when cmc" gets back i will throw something at my tv. i'm happy to have the bye next weekend to rest up and heal. here's hoping for back-to-back wins. something we haven't been able to do this season. i did see stats on the 2021 and 2022 starts that mirrored this year's start and hoping we are hitting some stride but we have a lot of work to do.

wow this was a wild one. is it wrong that i immediately get ptsd when we are up 13 points? we still aren't converting in the red zone, which is concerning. we are getting by with back-up running backs as jordan mason went down in the first half. enter isaac guerendo, who rushed for 99 yards on 10 carries. george kittle got not one, but two "receiver" type catches. the d was giving me heart palpitations all through the second half, but they got it done thankfully. two rookies got interceptions in the game, malik mustapha and renardo green. next man up mentality is definitely great to see, but we need to tighten up our second half. it was better last night and vets nick bosa and fred warner did their things as leaders. i'm hopeful for this example of perseverance, however there is a TALL order next with the kansas city chiefs.

it's been a while since i've been able to post about a niners win and last week's loss really hit HARD. the viks loss was deserved, and we weren't playing our best. i reassured myself that it's still early and the team is still coming together. better to get the cobwebs out early than later in the season. i loved how the defense came out today. fred warner(pictured above) with a pick six. he truly is defensive niner of the season so far. the offense looked better with deebo and kittle back in the mix, but jordan mason is still hitting ground hard and jauna jennings continues his great catches. so i'm feeling optimistic and hoping warner was resting the second half without any serious injury. it was also nice to watch the game televised nationally.
