McVay chose not to give the ball to Gurley for the first two drives and then none in the whole last qtr.

He has lost it, our O line is beaten up and Goff is On he verge of being a bust, a bust about to get a massive pay rise. 
 

The offence scored 3pts for the game. Made 1/13 3rd downs.

McVay needs to find a plan B, and FFS figure out how to adapt in game which he is poor at.

Just finished watching MNF.. Crazy good game. Every time one team looked like they had control the other would make a huge play... Sort of had the feeling the 49ers rookie kicker was going to miss the game winning FG. Full credit to Seattle, they were under the pump early and found a way. 

Haven't seen a huge amount of the 49ers but thought Garoppolo was pretty poor and on that evidence may be what holds back the 49ers going deep (or could be one average game, as I said haven't seen enough this year but not overly sold on him)

A tie might have been a more fitting result as there was nothing between the 2 sides in a riotous affair.  I thought Garoppolo was reasonably good without being outstanding.  He's had better games this year though so there's upside.  Both QB's were about as good as each other today.  Whoever had the ball last ultimately won the game so the Niners were a tad unlucky. 

The Packers go to San Francisco in 2 weeks time and that result will have ramifications with the Vikings & Seattle looming large in each respective division.

Jimmy G made some big mistakes in the second half with Sanders off, was high, should have been picked multiple times but in saying that, his own players dropped a few of his passes. He is essentially one season into his on field career, next two months will be telling for the niners and JG.

Cracking game to watch, but f&dk me I hate them both ?

Definitely thought the tie was on the cards, would've been a fitting result. I felt Garoppolo didn't seem overly confident stepping up into the pocket & had a lot of off throws, lucky he wasn't picked off a few other times not all his fault but. 49ers were due not too many sides last this long unbeaten

Not having his go-to guy would have made a difference. George Kittle is becoming to Jimmy G what Gronk was to Brady

The 'Interception' from Goroppolo was from a muffed catch by one of his receivers and they dropped a few other easy ones including one in the end zone for a missed TD.   Those QBR ratings often don't tell the true story GtB

Packers have got the bye then we come to your house in week 12.  A Mini-showdown or perhaps even more significant with regards to the outcome.  As always,  may the better team win.

Only saw the highlights but it sounds like it would have been both a fun & frustrating watch. There's a bit of Alex Smith about Jimmy G at the moment. Nothing wrong with that but it will be interesting to see if he can elevate himself to the top echelon of QB's. Jury is still out as despite seemingly having been around forever, he's still relatively inexperienced.

Haven't been carried away with the 8-0 start. There's been a bit of "dancing with your sister" about the '49ers so far. The Seahawks were just the start. The real season starts against your mob. That game has been moved to SNF.

Anyway, Bills, Pats & Chiefs this week

Your D is very good (2nd in yards allowed) so Garoppolo doesn't necessarily need to be a star QB. 

Your running game is 2nd in the league too (behind the Ravens only) so Garoppolo just needs to be managed well. 

The Packers/49ers is a good match-up too as the Packers have improved their D and their running game as well.  Thus,  taking the pressure off Rodgers (about time!)

Interesting game on MNF. Tough one to lose but I also kind of expected it, though didn’t expect a kicker from the street who flushed 2 previous to choke like that. Injuries are mounting and the roster is quite young, Pettis and Samuel’s 2 drops really hurt. 
 

Jimmy G did struggle to step up when it was on the line but at that point he was missing Kittle, Goodwin and Sanders who he’s built instant rapport with. Seattle are very good but giving Wilson the ball 3 times in OT doesn’t help. Far and way MVP at this stage.

What a crap game. That guy should be banned for a while for smacking Rudolph with his own helmet. Disgusting.

Crazy end.

Garrett has to go for big big weeks, there is already talk of him losing his contract at the Browns.

Pouncey will also get suspended for the punches and kicking he does to Garrett in retaliation.

But tbh, Garrett must cop a 16 week suspension. It has to be a year for that.

Can't believe it. Such a cleanskin too.

He connects pretty well. 
 

Rudolph got ejected for a H2H that caused bleeding from the receivers ear. There was some dirty hits in the game.

To go from 49ers v Seahawks a few days earlier, and then to that.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
