The 49er Blame Game

The 49ers appear to be who we suspected they might be, despite the week 1 effort.
It really makes me wonder what Jim Harbaugh thinks about all this. If he secretly kinda loves it. Not what is happening to the team, obviously, I’m sure he cares about the players. I’m also sure he likes Tomsula. But I can’t help but think he probably has some satisfaction knowing things went south without you and that Jed York is being proven as a moron.
The 49ers play the Packers this weekend, and I think we might see our first nationally televised snuff film.
Tomsula the Mic Rula’ gets me every time.
As a Bills fan, I’ll say this to Jed York and the Niners fanbase:
Thank you for Greg Roman. The last time we had a quarterback start this accurate and have this many touchdowns three games in, it was nearly 25 years ago. Tyrod Taylor looks legit, but he has definitely been helped by someone who knows how to use talented running backs to take pressure off of him, and playcalling designed to minimize what he needs to do and let talented skill players do their thing.
They’re up against your Giants this week Dave, so best of luck. It looks like Shady won’t be there, and he will be sorely missed.
Enjoy him while it lasts. You’ll be happy for a season and a half, then when you never convert another 3rd down you’ll want to kill him.
Oh, and Dave, thanks for not requiring facebook to comment.
And clearly, the play of Kaepernick this year without him or Harbaugh has clearly demonstrated that the issue was coaching, nor personnel.
Believe what you will, but I watched 80% of the games he was OC for over the last 4 years. The honeymoon’s great-everything’s new and he makes interesting calls to keep the spice alive, but soon he settles into a routine and everything becomes predictable. And if I can predict his play calling from my couch you can be damn sure the opposing DC can, too.
He’s a great OC….until he decides to call three straight fade passes in the Superbowl and tries to turn Taylor into a pocket passer.
The thing is…Taylor already can be a pocket passer. Rumor, for the longest time, was that he would take Matt Cassel of all people over Taylor. In Miami, is first half was all about rollout to wear put Suh and wake, the second was still shredding from the pocket.
How is “let Kaep be Kaep” going?
He does well at the beginning. Later on his playcalling becomes extremely predictable.
After teams figure out the Bills offense, he won’t change the playcalling.
I’m genuinely curious. Is there an owner in the NFL who ISN’T perceived as either a whiny, entitled spoilt brat with too many toys or simply a cretin?
Paul Allen is generally admired / appreciated in the PNW. People see him as the guy that saved the team when it was looking like a move south was in the works. Hell, he has raised the 12th Man flag (yeah yeah, but it’s a thing up here) at the last two NFC Championship games and I never heard a cross word about it.
I think most aren’t, actually. The prevailing stereotype is greedy old businessman if anything. Most of them earned their money and bought the team. I think Jed York is the only one viewed that way because he’s 35, hasn’t worked a day in his life at a real job and was handed the team on a silver platter.
Snyder is viewed as a horrible person
Jones is viewed as a greedy old moron
Mara is viewed mostly well but organized collusion, same with the Rooneys
The Glazers are viewed as cheap
Everyone seems to like Shahid Khan
Mark Davis is just kind of his own thing
Jimmy Haslam is a crook
Jim Irsay is a drug addict
Kraft seems alright as an owner
The guy in charge of the Eagles seems quite competent, actually
I don’t even know the names of the Titans, Texans, Chiefs, Cardinals, Chargers, or the new guy on the Bills
Falcons guy looks like a mafia don but just seems like your average greedy old guy
Jerry Richardson is seen as a jerk after his tirade during the lockout against players
Tom Benson is seen poorly after almost moving the Saints
Broncos dude seems fine
Ross tried to swindle Miami for stadium upgrades but failed
Woody seems to care about headlines in new york and not the team
Paul Allen seems fine, people out here seem to really like him.
Then of course we have the Packers
Yeah, I’d say most are viewed as greedy old guys if anything. Plenty seem fine and a few are even liked.
Sadly, Pat Bowlen (owner of the Broncos), is out with Alzheimer’s. But yeah, he was a pretty okay guy when he was himself.
Bud Adams (Titans) is an AFC version of Jerry Richardson.
So about 50/50 on flawed billionaires and nice guys then?
Paul Allen doesn’t fit into either of those categories, I’m sure there’s a couple of other decent owners too.
You’ve also got Virginia McCaskey, daughter of “Papa Bear” George Halas. Inherited the team when her brother died. She’s mostly “hands-off” but when she really doesn’t like the way the team is headed, she’ll do something about it (http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20141230/NEWS07/141239990/five-reasons-you-dont-want-to-piss-off-virginia-mccaskey). She’s worth an estimated 1.3 billion, but it’s entirely from her 80% ownership of the Bears. She didn’t make a ton of money elsewhere and come in and buy the team as “something fun to do with her money”.
Overall, Bears fans view her pretty favorably. I mean, she fired her own son when he made a series of unpopular (and unsuccessful) changes to the team. You gotta like that.
Is that Jim Harbaugh… smiling?
I guess we found the only thing that can make Harbaugh not scowl
Or yell and scream like a lunatic.
Did York bust through a paper back drop or is that his chair? I think its funnier the first way
If i had to guess, that would be the Iron Throne, from Game of Thrones.
So… if the Saints continue to stink, are we going to see the return of Homeless Sean Payton?
We need more Hobo Payton
Dang it. I read it in Carl’s voice.
This comic is stupid because Jim Harbaugh never smiles.
Also, I never thought the Niners organization was THIS bad until this season began to unfold. Back to back 40+ points given up too? Both the players and management are in a rut, a huge one at that.
I can imagine him trying to smile, but his lips just can’t form the right shape.
As a Niner fan, two things could happen against the Packers:
Scenario 1: We give up more than 50 points and score less than 20.
Scenario 2: We let Kap run wild on the Packers defense and win in a shootout.
The rational part of me says Scenario 1, but the hopeful part of me says 2.
