I don’t know what’s had the biggest detriment to the team. Assuming CMC and Debo are hurt no matter what (because this is moot with both on the field), is it the Aiyuk holdout or Pearsall getting shot? Lack of that other receiver is killing the Niners.
To be fair, I didn't like what they did, either. I'm still far from sold on Fields, but he seems to be taking another step forward. I question some of his decisions, but Omar Khan has done a lot right since taking over as GM. That includes keeping Cameron Heyward, who was a beast today, and drafting young guys like Nick Herbig and Zach Frazier, who were both big parts of the win today. The offensive line is a mess of injuries, but Frazier has already become an anchor three games into his rookie season. Herbig had to step in when Alex Highsmith was hurt and he got two sacks. The kid is just explosive.
Been working all day (got out to the car in time to hear Greg Papa not scream "the band is on the field"), but was Kittle out too? That's a lot of guys not stepping up.
Worth noting that the Bears lost 21-16 today and this was the last play of the first half. Whether they should have gotten to try it or not is another story. They got a very generous ruling on a spike.
I switched over to the night game and had the pregame show on. Good lawd, Maria Taylor is disgraceful. The entire production of that show is off-the-charts horrible. There is nothing redeeming about it. Just absolutely horrible.
