49ers are a good team with a good defense. McCaffrey will incorporate into their offense in the coming weeks and Shanahan will maximize him. Today, they just ran into arguably the best team in football. 49ers will win their division.

Only when you’re arguing.

Lol sure. And the excuses for losing to the Falcons? The Bears? 
 

Such consistently horrible takes.

Injuries vs the falcons-  did you happen to notice who missed the game?  Their D was a practice squad.

 

the loss Vs the bears was on a bad Trey Lance playing in a monsoon.  
 

their OL sucks pass blocking even with Trent William, regardless of how few times Jimmy has been sacked

I have CMC on my fantasy team. He was averaging 20 fantasy points each week. So what happens in his first SF game? 5 points. You trade for a guy but then don't use him.

TBF he has to learn the offense.  He only been there a couple days.

You should know better than this

[In Summary]

An insane amount of future draft capital and not something I'd ever want the Bills to do. These are the picks that play on rookie contracts and keep you from having to dump your core starters.

This team is 3-4 and AirTryHard is declaring divisional supremacy lol. This is the same guy that doesn't want to extend Poyer, a football mind for the ages. Imagine the state of this board, or heck this guys posts, if the Bills lost to the Chiefs by 21. Now we're conveniently just handing out excuses for a 3-4 football team with serious questions at quarterback.

 

More to the point, the brain champs in San Francisco got 62 yard, zero touchdowns and 21 point drubbing for their shiny new toy. They basically got 75% of Singletary without the wins. But hey just wait, eventually Shanahan the all knowing is gonna get 200 yards from this guy that hasn't really played fully healthy in 2+ years.

Especially with how successful Beane is with drafting players....I like him to have as many picks as possible, IMO.

That's a tough argument to make after the Bills beat the Chiefs AT Arrowhead last week.

 

 

Especially the way it happened too…McKenzie just throwing away 14 pts pretty much and then the chiefs stopping us on another huge 4th down and getting away with an absolutely egregious trip to kill another drive while having quite a few of their drives extended by soft calls on our secondary.  
 

In the past we’re used to hearing ‘if you don’t play a perfect game against kc you are going to lose’ but that does not appear to be the case for us anymore

I have CMC and Deebo...and now they're both in the same offense. Will be interesting to see how this turns out. Will they just steal points from each other.... might need to make a trade.

Yeah, I try to avoid RB/WRs on the same team unless they’re nobrainer all stars, which I guess both of them are.  Niners have not been scoring as much so far.

Possible, not probable. Still the same. They lost to the Chiefs, big deal.

They will need to win the division because the wild cards will most likely have better records than the division leader.

Still an amazing talent. I'm not much of a 49er fan, but I am very much a CMC fan. Glad to see him in a winning organization.

[Freddie's Dead]

CMC should start next week in place of Janeane.

They lost to the Bears, Broncos and Falcons and their schedule is much tougher the remainder of the season.  7-9 of their remaining games they will be underdogs or a pick game.  They gave up 2/3 of their draft and it’s probable they miss the payoffs.  

This aged like milk. 

 

49ers have won 7 straight,  7-1 since the trade only loss the very first game vs KC... they are 10-4 and clinched the playoffs already. 3 games up in the division. 

[TheWeatherMan]

Who have they beaten that’s good…Miami? Chargers?  Cupcake schedule, they’re not making it past the 2nd round just like last year.

Pretending to know what’s going to happen in the future for a 2nd time doesn’t make your initial prediction any less laughable.  
 

they have the best d in the league-  they have a shot to beat anyone…..with Brock Purdy under center

Miami beat the Bills, almost did it twice.  Look at the Bills schedule since the bye.  Other than Miami, only the Vikings stand out.

 

What is "the second round"?    The were in the NFCC game last year. They lost by a FG to the SB Champs.

Disagree and you have no evidence to support your laughable claim that they can beat anybody with Purdy.  Good try on the troll job though.  

[ngbills]

CMC on this offense would have been nice.
 

So would Hockenson. Knox showed some glimpses of that yesterday.

disagree with what?  You said the niners wouldn’t make the playoffs.  They will make the playoffs.  You’re wrong.  And they’re going to do it with their 3rd string qb.  Making along your prediction all that more laughable.  

 

They “have a shot” to beat anyone.  They do.  That’s the truth. You don’t have to believe it.  
 

You’re laughable prediction ended up being just that.  A joke.

I would have loved him....but due to his injury history and the amount of draft capital it took, I understand why we didn't.

Knox would be better if he didn't have to pass block all the time.  When he gets opportunities to run routes, he's great.  We just happen to have one of the worst offensive lines in football.

Sometimes you gotta go for it. Check Beanes 2nd round draft pick capital spent.

SF has a pretty good OL too. Ours needs reinforcements. Harder to do sacrificing all those picks. Probably would have taken more from the Bills to pull off as they’d assume Bills would be picking after SF. I totally get not doing that kind of a deal. Worked great for SF though.

Until he drops passes.... Don't get me wrong I like Knox he's a solid starter.  He just wasn't worth the contract we gave him and now likely having to lose Edmunds and/or Poyer as a result.

CMC got traded for the equivalent of 1st round capital, not 2nd.

I'm not saying definitively that it would or would not have been a good idea to trade a 1st for him, I'm just saying that a 2nd wasn't gonna get it done.

This line of thinking doesn't even fly in college football anymore. 😂

I wish we had CMC, but a part of me feels good that he didn't come here because we would not have used him. There are so many cool things you can do with guys like Cook and Hines and we aren't doing them. Watching CMC running inside zone stuck in the backfield in such a conventional way would truly hurt my football soul.

I agree that the 9ers are legit, but the Bills schedule since the bye?  
 

Jets twice.  They are playing reasonably well, no?

Fish and Vikes as you mentioned.

Lions seem to be doing ok.

 

So that’s 5 games out of 7 against teams in a playoff race.  Add your Pats who are technically not out and that is 6 of their last 7 games against playoff contending teams.  Can you find even one other team that has played 6 of their last seven against playoff contenders?  I’m guessing there aren’t many..  

 

Combined record of teams since bye: 53-45

 

Combined records when removing games against Bills: 50-40

If you want to include all 7-7 teams as "playoff contenders", then your post almost scratches the surface of credulity.

 

Lions may continue to 10 wins, may not. But the Jets are in  a freefall.  Same for NE.
