I let her because I’m truly scared of that old lady. She could probably beat my *** so I just let her be.
Well, that was a bummer of a game (again)! We had a lot of fun and it was great to see Levi's Stadium in person. Took light rail from our hotel to the stadium, which was nice to not have to park/pay right there. Walked through the tailgating in their lots. Was lively, but not as good as Iowa State tailgating, of course. Climbed about 1000 steps to get to our seats in the top level. If they had an elevator to get up there, we never found it (nor were there any real directions on how exactly to reach the top sections). But made it to the seats and had a pretty good view. It's hard to imagine a bad view with the way the place is set up. One odd thing is that they never once showed any stats during the game. There were exactly two places to see the score/time outs/game clock. Occasionally, the score bug would pop up on the big screens on either end. Very strange. And the sound system was TERRIBLE. Aside from the announcer, you couldn't hear anything. It was all very muted and sounded like everything was being channeled through two old Sanyo speakers mounted behind one end zone. Again, very strange.
Anyway, the game sure could have been better. Have to say that while Purdy had some truly bad moments, he overall played fairly well with decent numbers (if you overlook the INTs). The D simply allowed Burrow to march his team up and down the field repeatedly. Post game interviews showed they know they have to get better and that they were the reason they lost the game, Fred Warner specifically saying that Purdy is the reason the 49ers have been in positions to win. They have a bye week, then go to JAX in two weeks to face the Jags. So, we'll see if they get anything figured out. It's been three games of having a defense like Swiss cheese/screen door, so I'm not sure where the disconnect is that they couldn't have already figured some stuff out.
One fun thing about this game is it was an alumni event for the Niners. They had all kinds of past players there - we were just getting to our seats when we figured out what was going on. So they had people like Joe Montana and Jerry Rice there. Another thing for the game was they celebrated the 40th anniversary of their Gold Rush cheer/dance squad. During halftime, they had members going all the way back to 1983 on the field to do a routine together, then each "era" did their own routine. There were seven women from the very first squad who participated. Was kinda cool, honestly.
Overall, it was a fun experience and I would come back to go to another game. There are a few things I might do differently next time, but definitely worth going.

NFL broadcasters seem to finally realize 49ers no longer play in SF
The 49ers are in their 10th season at Santa Clara's Levi's Stadium, but television broadcasters have continued to mostly show San Francisco.
Same. And I have 2 fantasy leagues and watch the NFL every Sunday. I thought maybe Geno Stone was a brand of frozen pizzas when I saw that post.

Sorry guys. I won’t be on this thread for awhile. I need to memorize what school every long snapper in the league went to so I truly know football.
I’m starting to wonder if teams are starting to use Brock’s ability to read and anticipate against him, because 3 of his last 4 INTs (excluding the freak one on the dump off to the FB) have been eerily similar. They’ve been on downfield crossing routes where the defender seems to be pretending to bite on something, giving the illusion of a window that isn’t there. If that’s actually what’s going on, then Shanahan needs to diagnose it and Purdy needs to learn not to fall for it.
Might not have been the best decision to rush Brock back. Concussions aren't worth messing with and they had a bye week coming up
If you don't know the high school the players went to are you really a fan or watching the game
Awesome...it just says a lot of your comprehension of the games. Leads the league in interceptions. Will more than likely make a pro browl. Not something that many players will do.
I am sure you would ace it, if it was over the Super Nationals.
@Fizer Take this **** to the In-State forum, hawk troll.
