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.
