If he’s losing you games because he can’t kick, then you eat the cost

I would rather have Vlad Ducasse kick at this point.

It renews on its own, correct?

Or in terms of Bass, he could miss “easy” chip shots (a la the Steelers playoff game) AND miss the moderate to difficult FG attempts. Not a good combo. im a little disappointed we haven’t brought any one in to compete. I have a feeling we are going to stubbornly stick with him until it’s too late and is costs us a couple games. I know he has a big cap hit, but if he’s hurting our team, you can’t have him playing. I mean he cost us the Patriots and Eagles games this year IMO.

I almost hate Mahomes more for two reasons 1) recency bias 2) our teams against Brady all sucked so it wasn’t like Brady was really holding us back from any Super Bowls. but the 13 seconds season and this past season I legitimately think we would have won the Super Bowl if we were just able to get past Mahomes.

If the guardian caps protect heads and it is proven, why the heck doesn’t the helmet making companies just make soft shell helmets essentially with more padding instead of the hard plastic or carbon fiber material it uses now?

Wow. Surprised we traded with KC. They will probably get a receiver that will end up being an absolute stud

Look like UVA jerseys with a charger bolt on the sleeve

I haven’t watched a ton of 49ers football, but Aiyuk doesn’t seem like someone who really takes a game over and dominates like Justin Jefferson. I could be wrong. But I would be disappointed if we gave a boatload of picks and a big contract up for someone like Aiyuk

I don’t understand how a player will tackle someone who they are trying to chase down from behind.

Wilkins to the raiders. Glad he is out of our division. He can go harass Patrick Mahomes

It’s not only that miss against KC. It’s the collection of absolute duds he had last season. Even if he goes on a great run, he will still have in the back of his mind, “what if I start sucking again?”

Disagree. He was bad in the regular season. Cost us the Eagles and Patriots (first matchup) games. Against the Steelers he was even worse. The KC game wasn’t as bad because even if he made that kick, we probably still lose based on how much time was left. That was carpenter

I think we need to move on from Bass while we can without actually hurting us in games. That means drafting a kicker. Take the cap hit. Can’t go into The season with a terrible kicker with the yips. You’re only as good as your last season IMO

If you’re going against Patrick Mahomes you don’t do that.

Patrick Mahomes said if they won the toss they would have kicked the ball first.

I think you’re thinking Matt Barkley

Ok. Well the way I’m arguing against didn’t pan out so not sure why you’re vehemently against having kicked it instead.

It’s not even about Pat. I would hate his family being in the bills stadium week in and week out. Jackson in particular sucks. And Brittany thinks she’s hot crap when she’s really a steaming pile of dung. If Josh were paired with Reid, arguably the greatest offensive mind ever, the roles would be reversed. I really wished we could have gotten Harbaugh in here because I think he would have been perfect for Josh.

I understand your sentiment. But tbh, there weren’t a ton of drives that ended in scores yesterday. So the defenses definitely had the upper hand most of the game to make me want to kick it. That being said, Pat Mahomes is on the other sideline. It’s hard enough to stop him on three downs, four downs is borderline impossible. I would much rather take the ball second, because if the chiefs score a TD, I’m going for a TD and a 2-pt conversion to end it so I don’t give it back. If the chiefs score a FG, I’m still going for a TD, unless it’s fourth and forever, to end the game and not give it back to their offense.

Curious how many OT games actually get to a third possession

That is absurd thinking in my opinion

Even if you receive first, then score a TD, the other team will get the ball too. Why would you take the ball first?

I’d take a deal with the devil if that yielded us one SB, let alone 6

I have no idea why any coach would take the ball first in overtime in the playoffs. If your defense is supposedly that good and you trust them to get a stop, kick it. Let them get the stop, force a punt and get better field position and higher chances for getting the requisite yards for a FG If your defense stinks and will just allow a TD anyways, you know exactly what you need on offense and have four downs per set of downs to achieve it. Plus if you do score a TD, and your defense stinks, just go for 2 and win the game with your offense and don’t give the other team another chance once it goes to sudden death. It doesn’t seem like a cosmic idea to me. What do I know.
