93 thoughts during SF 49ers Week 7 win vs. New England Patriots
Niner Noise’s Aussie lists his thoughts during the SF 49ers win in Week 7 against the Patriots.
- Ugh, these early starts for the SF 49ers are killing me.
- Well, early since I’m in Australia anyway.
- 49ers to start on offense, can the team score early?
- What a fight by Jimmy Garoppolo to scramble for a first down!
- SF 49ers driving down the field very strongly here, thanks to George Kittle.
- It is National Tight End Day after all.
- Touchdown Jeff Wilson!
- So the 49ers DO start quickly again, well done San Francisco.
- Can the defense make a strong start too? It’ll be tough with more injuries on the defensive side of the ball.
- Two players in and an SF 49ers defender is injured, yeah that seems about right.
- It’s Jason Verrett.
- Verrett is back on and the defense stops the Patriots early.
- Kittle catches a ball on a long third down, he’s started very well.
- Garoppolo sacked, and then subsequently throws a strike to Brandon Aiyuk for a first down.
- Deebo Samuel as a tailback! But the run will be coming back.
- Ugh, Garoppolo overthrows the ball and it’s picked off by the Patriots.
- Ugh, how did Dion Jordan get called for hitting Cam Newton low when he was blocked into him?
- Refs refuse to consider things like that, and it’s infuriating.
- Well, the interception wasn’t totally costly, as the defense does make a stop.
- End of the first, 7-0 to the 49ers with the Patriots to try for three points when the second quarter begins.
- The kick is good, 7-3 to the SF 49ers.
- Jeff Wilson essentially doing the drive by himself.
- Nice hard count by Garoppolo, the 49ers are chipping away at the yardage here.
- Wilson continues to basically will his way down the field here.
- Aiyuk with a great jet sweep, he adds a lot with his ability to run plays like Deebo does.
- Ugh, another holding call brings it back. That sort of play is so undisciplined.
- The hold kills the drive, but Robbie Gould converts to at least make it 10-3.
- FRED WARNER WITH THE PICK! Cam Newton forced to throw on the run and Warner is perfectly in position!
- I wrote last week that Warner was the best player from the defense now, I 100% stand by that.
- Short field, can the SF 49ers take advantage?
- Wilson continues to trample over defenders.
- 49ers threatening hard here, big play coming up on third down.
- TOUCHDOWN KYLE JUSZCZYK! FULLBACK DIVE!
- Extra point doinks off the post, 16-3 to the Niners.
- FUMBLE… but recovered by the Patriots.
- ANOTHER FUMBLE… also recovered by the Patriots.
- But the 49ers are smelling blood.
- The 49ers defense has come up big this half.
- Another flag from the offense for holding, it’s so frustrating.
- A great fast start by JaMycal Hasty!
- An even better second touch by Hasty!
- Two-minute warning, the 49ers threatening again.
- TOUCHDOWN! Jeff Wilson with his second touchdown of the half!
- What a half this has been for the 49ers. 23-3 to San Francisco.
- Big pass by Cam coming back due to a flag, thankfully.
- Cam promptly throws the ball again for a first down.
- INTERCEPTION!
- Emmanuel Moseley catches a large overthrow and returns it to the offensive half of the field.
- 49ers may have more points yet this half.
- Garoppolo picked off, but it’s a deep pass to end the half and no chance for a field goal. So who cares?
- Here we go to start the second half!
- Patriots are driving quickly down the field here.
- Running a hurry-up offense too.
- Dre Greenlaw with the sack!
- Newton avoids a couple of sacks, but the scramble is inconsequential before Javon Kinlaw cleans him up.
- The field goal is good, 23-6 to the 49ers.
- Can the offense keep driving down the field?
- Aiyuk looks like he was so perennially underrated during the draft process.
- It’s very unlike Kittle to have flags thrown on him, he’s had two tonight.
- Aiyuk is wide open! Over the shoulder grab for a big play!
- Wilson with a third touchdown! And he’s promptly hurt.
- A Patriot defender caught his ankle underneath, he is limping off at least.
- Extra point is good and it’s 30-6.
- Hopefully, Wilson won’t be out too long.
- Wilson being carted into the rooms, such a bad end to a great career game.
- Interception! Deflection caught by Jamar Taylor.
- The 49ers are having fun here, they’re able to relax and this has been an unexpected blowout as a result.
- Wilson out is giving us extended Hasty time, and I am grateful for that at least.
- We haven’t seen Jerick McKinnon at all this game either.
- End of the third quarter, SF 49ers threatening again as the quarter ends 30-6.
- Oh for crying out loud, not Deebo Samuel too!
- Regulation field goal kicked, 33-6 to the 49ers.
- Cam Newton benched, in comes Jarrett Stidham.
- The Patriots driving down the field for some garbage time points, but the damage is done here.
- It’s been really impressive by the 49ers, they’ve ticked all the boxes.
- More importantly, the win puts them above .500 heading into some really tough games.
- With the playoff format changed and an extra wildcard team in, the 49ers just need to break even to be in the running for playoffs.
- A second roughing the passer call for New England, even in garbage time I hate these undisciplined flags with a passion.
- Jamar Taylor with a second interception today, and the fourth for the team overall in the game!
- I doubt the SF 49ers will pass again, the team will probably just bleed as much of the clock as they possibly can.
- Well, they may pass given this is a long third down coming up.
- They do pass and it’s a perfect shot to Kittle.
- Long live National Tight End Day!
- Maybe one more pass here, but the 49ers are bleeding the clock pretty well.
- I could watch Kittle blocking all day, thank goodness for highlight packages.
- Jerick McKinnon with a cameo appearance there, and the 49ers will punt.
- And a Mitch Wishnowsky cameo appearance too.
- The Patriots are content to run the clock out, they just want the game to be over right now.
- The Patriots are trying to pass for whatever reason, maybe one more chance for an interception?
- Patriots trying for at least one touchdown before the end of the game.
- Kevin Givens with the sack, and that’ll run out the clock!
- 33-6 win, and the biggest ever home loss for Bill Belichick!
- 49ers improve to 4-3, and that’ll do it from me today.
