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.

Over the Influence: A Memoir by Joanna "JoJo" Levesque
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 and not rounding up b/c don't want my bias to register even more. i've been a fan of jojo for decades. i was never "a little too late" to her talent and voice. she was respite during covid hosting lunchtime IG lives, which literally brought me joy in a time of distress. I'm not surprised by what a thoughtful and unique voice she has in her writing. the memoir brings memories of mariah's memior and I can't wait to listen to the audio version of this. here is rnb queen that takes accountability for her flaws and constantly battles with loving herself. joanna, you are worthy of all the good things coming your way.

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.

another season, another hope we get to the BIG GAME. i'm not sure i can endure another heartbreak but here i am back with niner nation. i was feeling pumped when fred warner peanut punched a forced fumble in the opening minutes of the game. then, the rest of the first quarter was field goals that should have been touchdowns. of course, we are rusty along with cmc, dre greenlaw, and talanoa hufanga inactive. i felt like this would be a good test with former niner defensive coordinator, now jets head coach robert saleh cooking up a decent plan against his former team. BUT let me introduce you to rookie running back jordan mason (pictured above). wow, what a debut that earned him ice from deebo and a leia from huf. i love my team through hard times and defeat. here's to more victories this season. viks this sunday!
