it was rough the first giants drive and made me miss fred warner so bad. the niners, mac jones and cmc got rolling after that opening giants scoring drive and it was pretty set by the third quarter. what is worrying is that we let the giants score twice in the fourth. we are likely to lose another defensive end in rookie mykel williams. against the injured giants we could scrap out a win but next week against the rams will be another BIG hurdle.

after the devastating loss of defensive captain fred warner, my faithful heart was heavy going into week 7. seriously how many injuries to key players must we endure. luckily, last night we came out without any major injuries and beat the falcons 20-10. cmc had two rushing touchdowns, and eddy pinero knocked in two long field goals. george kittle was back and it was clear to see he assisted in cmc's big yardage night. off to texas next and hoping to keep up this healthy momentum.

to say i wasn't confident going into last night's game was an understatement. our team has been decimated with injuries to key members and a tight turnaround after a loss on sunday. the faith was low but any early surge from mac jones and kendrick bourne in the first half had us up 17-7, but division rivals rams would not go out without a fight. the defense really came through with a stop and fumble recovery at the 1-yard line late into the 4th. thanks to the rook alfred collins punching that ball out a la fred warner. it didn't end there with matthew stafford marching the rams down the field with less than a minute to get a tying field goal. overtime it was was. niners managed to get a field goal by eddy piñeiro, who has been clutch. he bonked in a 48-yard kick after hitting a 59-yarder. it's nice to have a reliable kicker. then, the grand defensive finale. instead of trying for a field goal to tie the game. the rams went for it on 4th and 1 to win outright. the d-line DENIED them. what a game and still coming down from the high. glad the boys are getting a good amount of rest to heal before they tackle the bucs in 9 days.

apologies, i had intended to post a week ago when we got our first win of the season. it's strange to write about games i didn't have the opportunity to watch live. woes of east coast living. in both cases we are grinding out these games and finally let go of the horrid, probably cost us a SB, jake moody. we didn't have brock purdy yesterday but mac jones (honestly, do not know this man) pulled off a victory, but come sunday he will be tested against division rival, arizona cardinals since it's unlikely brock's toes will be healed. as every seasons past, the nfc west is the MOST competitive division, hands down. keeping the faith, shar
