Chip Kelly Interviewed With The 49ers
According to separate reports from CSN Bay Area and ESPN, former Eagles coach Chip Kelly met with the 49ers yesterday about their own vacant head coach job. It feels like the perfect match, if you’re rooting for the franchise to implode....
Jim Tomsula Packs Up His Bindle, Hits The Dusty Trail
The Jim Tomsula era with the San Francisco 49ers started out with a victory, and ended with one, too. That wasn’t enough to forget everything that happened in between. The 49ers fired him tonight....
Goodbye Jim Tomsula, Man Of Many Talents
Firing season is truly upon us. According to a report from PFT, the 49ers are going to fire Jim Tomsula after a fairly disastrous 4-11 season that saw the team regress all the way from championship contenders to one of the worst teams in the NFL. Not all of this is Tomsula’s fault, of course (everyo...
Jim Tomsula Ponders, Keeps Pondering, Ponders Again
As NFL teams clinch playoff spots and determine first-round byes, let’s check in with 49ers coach Jim Tomsula as he makes a decision. The overworked everyman was figuring out how his defense allowed the Lions to march all the way to the one-yard line. Replace the dictionary’s definition of befuddlem...
Oh Huh, Blaine Gabbert Might Be A Decent Quarterback
Blaine Gabbert, Jim Tomsula, and the San Francisco 49ers went to Chicago and beat the Bears 26-20 in overtime. It was a silly game between mediocre teams, and as such, it was full of highlights....
The 49ers' Front Office Is Still A Huge Mess
It’s hard to imagine a football team having a worse season, top-to-bottom, than the 2015 San Francisco 49ers. Things stayed messy last night, with various reports stating that team president Paraag Marathe is being shuffled off to a lesser role within the organization, a move that will apparently ta...
NFL Demotes Officiating Crew After Screwups In Cardinals-Niners Game
Sunday’s Cardinals-49ers game was a disaster for the officials, one that stood out even against the backdrop of an especially woeful season for the zebras. How bad was it? The crew responsible has been demoted from primetime....
Carson Palmer Runs For A Touchdown, Eats It
Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer ran for the game-winning score in Sunday’s game against the 49ers, which was his first rushing touchdown since 2012, so the old man tried one of those celebrations that all the cool players do. He put too much behind his spike, and fell over....
Colin Kaepernick Might Be Done As A 49er
Even before the 49ers put Colin Kaepernick on the IR this morning, it was clear that he was ancillary to the team’s plans going forward. Coach Jim Tomsula benched him in favor of Blaine Gabbert (Blaine Gabbert!) for their Week 9 win over the Falcons before the extent of his shoulder injury was revea...
Reports: Colin Kaepernick Benched For Blaine Gabbert
Blaine Gabbert will start at quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers against the Atlanta Falcons this weekend, reports Kyle McLorg (and confirmed every other NFL reporter). Regular starter and large headphone enthusiast Colin Kaepernick has been dire this season, ranking as the 30th best QB in the l...
Report: Vernon Davis And Joe Staley Fought Over Colin Kaepernick
Like all bad teams eventually do, the San Francisco 49ers have reached the “players-only meeting” stage of their season, and they’re already off to a strong start....
The 49ers Really Don't Trust Colin Kaepernick
What’s wrong with the San Francisco 49ers’ offense (besides everything)? It is, as we are learning, incredibly predictable. And that is apparently by design....
Colin Kaepernick Donked A Guy Right In The Face
Somehow, this was a matchup of teams with identical records. But the Seahawks’ 20-3 win over the 49ers felt like so many of the blowouts in the recent one-sided stretch of the Seattle-San Francisco rivalry. The only things that set this one apart were the Niners’ especially unproductive offense, the...
The 49ers' Crappy Turf Helped Shank A Ravens Field Goal
Justin Tucker is one of the best kickers in the NFL. Even he’s no match for the grass at Levi’s Stadium, which in just its second year has emerged among the league’s worst. ...
49ers Fan Ran Onto Field, Allegedly Tried To Headbutt And Spit At Security
Obviously, don’t charge onto the field. It disrupts the game, and you’re going to get hit with trespassing and a lifetime ban. But if you charge onto the field, definitely don’t try to assault the security members who drag you out. They’re not going to let that one go. ...
Clay Matthews Kept Picking On Colin Kaepernick
The photo above was taken during yesterday’s Packers-49ers game, right after Packers linebacker Clay Matthews sacked 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in the third quarter. That’s Matthews stealing Kaepernick’s signature bicep-kiss celebration, which is a pretty good way to troll a quarterback afte...
The Biggest NFL Story Today Is Whether Jim Tomsula Farted At A Press Conference
After a feel-good win against the Vikings in Week 1, the 49ers have reverted to the complete mess we knew they’d be, but ignore that for a minute. Did head coach Jim Tomsula fart during yesterday’s press conference? Listen for yourself:...
