Well, if you want to play, you have to perform. His nice runs this season have been runs that anyone could make, and his pass receiving has been practically non-existent. He plays one of the few positions where it's possible for rookies to step in and have impact. He hasn't. I may have said it before, but he reminds of CJ Spiller - he runs in more or less a straight line, and when he's hit he goes down.
He hasn't shown any special skill with the ball, either between the tackles, running outside, or in the open field. I don't see what good another year's experience will do, but we will get a chance to see.
I hear you about his pass-catching; it was a special trait of his in college and it's not happening right now. But I bet it will come. I disagree, however, on his runs; not everyone could make the same run and his longer ones — Singletary just doesn't have the wheels. But we shall see how it goes the rest of the way. I'm sure everyone would like to see more RB involvement as both runs and in the passing game. I really feel like Cook or Hines could just sit in the flats a lot of plays and catch a ball and get a big chunk of yardage in open space; linebackers just can't keep up. I don't believe Singletary has the same potential there.

Great video, thanks. JT has a lot of good insight and doesn't think Josh was massively out of sorts; Josh just needs some fine tuning.
A couple notes: JT actually liked the game-losing call (as did I) and thought the execution was bad; the ball needed to be higher and deeper.
My own thoughts: on third and short, why do we see so many intermediate routes? Why not have short drags across the middle or slants? It seems like we're making the seemingly easy conversions harder than they need to be.
Watch the video. Videos like this and Marino's are to be far better than the printed journalism from the Buffalo area which is really only good for giving quotes and no insight from the writer. -
Agree with much of this but think you're a little harsh on Cook who seems, in general, to be showing good signs as the season continues. Not saying don't play Hines, but I don't think Cook should be benched either. Singletary has out-performed my average expectations for him, so that's good.

Josh gutted through a lot of pain to come through when it counted.
Glad to see half the board gave up on this game and the season; should be easier to read posts around here.

Dumb dumb call leaving Bills time on clock with 3 TOs.

Great throw and catch.

3 missed tackles. 🤢

Good explanation by Romo: Cook messed up by not following through with the route.

Josh's balls (the pigskin kind) aren't great (elbow injury) but he's playing smart and making good decisions. Great to see. His elbow will get better...

Ok, I just started watching with 9 minutes left but we've scored 17 points, Josh is playing well with no INTs and we're winning and getting the ball back to start the second. But I'm seeing posts saying this team is a disaster...
I get that the team is not playing optimally everywhere but it's a little early for these hyperbolic takes.

McKenzie runs out of bounds; is he taking ginko biloba now?

Oh, man, Von's ankle will not be good.

He has nothing to lose.
Except a higher draft pick and a shot at a "top" QB. But yes, kudos to him for not playing safe.

Campbell needs to do Viagara commercials now... he's got cahones and is delivering the goods under pressure.

Huge play by Milano. Guys, sometimes even elite players have bad stretches. But they get back to good or great...

That's a ballsy call.

Questions for a lawyer (Shaw66?)... if it's not done in secret — that seems to be a criterion for collusion — but owners openly shared their views that fully guaranteed contracts were bad for the sport, would it then be legal?

For me, instead of "in Gabe I trust" it's more like "In Gabe I kinda hope but don't count on it."
He's a pendulum; one game he's lights out and setting records, the next he's disappeared and dropping balls.

Shameful lack of tackling — no, shameful lack of effort to tackle — on that Kittle TD. Wouldn't mind seeing the 49ers make a playoff run.
From where we are standing, what is your measure for a successful season.

Given all the injuries, I no longer hold a Super Bowl victory as the measure of a good season. If we beat the Chiefs in the playoffs, likely in an AFC championship game, I'll feel we got a monkey off our backs and feel like progress was made.
