On the San Francisco 49ers podcast with David Zizmor:

#1 David, should head coach Kyle Shanahan had benched Christian McCaffrey for the game in Buffalo on Sunday Night Football. As it were he had to leave with a knee injury that ends his season?

# 2 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy threw for only 94 yards and couldn’t get adjusted to the snowy conditions of Orchard Park was this a game where the weather made it tough for Purdy or has he been losing his touch like in the last few games?

#3 The 49ers have failed to make up 300 yards or more on offense in their last three games which were all loses. They now host the Chicago Bears who have lost six in a row and come into Levi Stadium with a 4-8 record can the 49ers who are snake bitten with injuries overcome and beat the Bears this Sunday.

Sunday Night Football saw a Buffalo Bills team that has all the weapons that could possibly take them deep into the playoffs. The San Francisco 49ers fought hard but the miserable conditions that are foreign to the team put them behind the eight ball from the start of the game. They did score first in this game, a field goal followed by a touchdown in the third quarter but that would be all they could muster losing the game 35-10. The Bills for the fifth consecutive season have clinched their division.

Game recap: San Francisco was first up on the scoreboard. They drove deep into Buffalo territory but had to settle for a field goal. Jake Moody kicked a short 33 yard field goal for a 3-0 49er lead.

Even the shortest of field goals becomes a challenge with Sunday night’s weather conditions. With three seconds left on the clock in the first quarter, Buffalo scored the first touchdown of the game taking a 7-3 lead.

The Bills Ray Davis rushed for five yards and the score. The Tyler Bass point after kick was good and Buffalo took a 7-3 lead going into the second quarter. Following that first touchdown a barrage of snowballs were cascading down on the field from the stands.

At 8:38 in the second quarter the Bills struck again showcasing their running game. Buffalo was tearing the San Francisco defense apart running roughshod all over them. The Bills comfort level under these conditions became apparent scoring a 65 yard rushing touchdown and taking a 14-3 lead.

The Bills are used to these kind of conditions so traction was not posing too much of a problem for them. The 49ers on the other hand were slipping and sliding all over the place on both sides of the ball. With 41 ticks left on the clock the Bills scored their third touchdown of the day.

Buffalo had scored on three consecutive drives; this one a Josh Allen pass connecting with Mack Hollins for seven yards and a 21-3 Buffalo lead. With four seconds left in the half San Francisco’s Jake Moody attempted a 55 yard field goal which fell short and at the half the Bills had a 21-3 lead.

The snow got even heavier as the second half got underway. The conditions proved to be a challenge for Buffalo at times and San Francisco most of the time. The Bills extended their lead at 5:58 in the third quarter. Amari Cooper caught a Josh Allen pass and lateraled it to Allen who scampered for seven yards and their fourth touchdown of the game.

With a 28-3 lead, the Bills were rolling. With under three minutes left in the quarter San Francisco’s Isaac Guerendo rushed for 15 yards for the Niners first touchdown of the game. After three quarters of football the Bills were leading 28-10.

The Bills scored a fifth touchdown to start off the fourth quarter. Quarterback Josh Allen scampered for eight yards extending Buffalo’s lead 35-10. The Bills had taken control of this game from the start and the 49ers couldn’t do much about it.

San Francisco had fumbled three times in the game, losing all three and despite ten minutes left in the game, this contest was a done deal. The San Francisco bench looked completely miserable, deflated and more than ready to board the plane home to sunny California. The final was 35-10.

San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy finished the game 11 of 18 for 94 yards and no interceptions. He was sacked twice. The team rushed for 153 yards with Jordan Mason leading the way with 78 yards. Jauan Jennings received for 56 yards. Brock Purdy, Deebo Samuel and Kyle Juszczyk all had fumbles in this game.

The Bills quarterback Josh Allen passed for 148 yards and two touchdown, he rushed for another touchdown and received for a third. He had one amazing game. The Bills rushed for 220 yards with James Cook the leader with 107 yards. The Buffalo ground game was a huge factor in their win. They also had 152 receiving yards.

Game notes: On Sunday Night Football the 49ers took on the Bills at Highmark Stadium. The weather report for Sunday night favored the Bills with snow flurries during game time. The PA system was joyfully playing “Let It Snow” as the game got underway.

Cold weather games do not favor a lot of teams with San Francisco being one of them. Dealing with conditions like this put another layer of game planning in play. With their record under .500 the 49ers lost this game and faced a team like Buffalo coupled with miserable playing conditions was a huge challenge. Slippery conditions injury posedan enormous threat. A lot of credit to the Buffalo fans who weathered the snow storm to root their team on. They are the epitome of the true football fan

San Francisco will put this game behind them as they prepare for a game with the Chicago Bears next Sunday. Their last two games, Green Bay and Buffalo, had turned into a couple of train wrecks. The team will appreciate the balmy 63 degree weather that is predicted for next Sunday’s game. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:25 PM PST at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara.

49ers Fall To Packers At Frigid Lambeau 38-10

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

It’s a hot potato for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brandon Allen (17) who fumbles the ball against the Green Bay Packers at frigid Lambeau Field in Green Bay on Sun Nov 24, 2024 (AP News photo)

By Barbara Mason

The San Francisco 49ers (5-6) played a very important game on Sunday taking on the Green Bay Packers (8-3) losing 38-10 in a blowout. After a tough loss last week to the Seattle Seahawks 20-17 they were looking to get back on track but it went sideways from the start of the game falling behind 10-0 in the first quarter.

The team had to play without quarterback Brock Purdy due to a shoulder injury which was a huge blow for the team. Brandon Allen who stepped in for Purdy finished with 17 of 29, one touchdown and one interception.

Christian McCaffrey rushed for only 31 yards and had 37 receiving yards. It has been said that the season really gets going in earnest in week 11 and so the loss last week and now today’s loss in week 12 was a real disappointment especially since they face the 9-2 Buffalo Bills next week.

The game was playing pretty close in the first half of the opening quarter. Mid-way through the first quarter, the Packers scored the first touchdown of the game taking the early 7-0 lead. Jordan Love connected with Tucker Kraft for 11 yards and the Pack was off and running. They extended their lead to 10-0 with 11 seconds left in the first quarter; a 51 yard Brandon McManus Field Goal.

Both teams scored a touchdown in the second quarter. At 6:33 in the quarter Josh Jacobs rushed for one yard and Green Bay had a 17-0 lead threatening to bust this game wide open. San Francisco fought back and finally got up on the scoreboard with 1:02 left in the first half. Brandon Allen connected with George Kittle for three yards and the score at the half was 17-7 in favor of the Packers.

The 49ers were only able to score three points in the entire second half. Jake Moody kicked a 48 yard field goal but that would be it for San Francisco. Jacobs scored his second rushing touchdown of the day punching it in for one yard and a 24-10 Packer lead. After three, Green Bay was leading by the score of 24-10.

A turning point for San Francisco in the second half could have come down to the 87-yard kickoff return by Deebo Samuel which was called back when Eric Saubert was called for holding. The 49ers had wasted a first-and-goal. It all seemed to go downhill from that point on.

The Packers had a productive fourth quarter with Jacobs scoring his third touchdown of the day, another one for one yard and a 31-10 lead. These three touchdowns would match a career high for Jacobs. They would cap this game off with 4:14 left in the game.

Love connected with Malik Heath for three yards and an insurmountable 38-10 lead. A very poor defensive effort from San Francisco was certainly a big part of the final score.

Allen finished the day going 17-29, with one touchdown, two fumbles and one interception. It was a very disappointing day for McCaffrey who rushed for only 31 yards and 37 receiving yards. George Kittle finished with 82 receiving yards and scored the only San Francisco touchdown of the day.

Game notes: Sunday afternoon the 49ers traveled to Green Bay to take on the Packers at frigid Lambeau Field braving the 42 degree temperature with freezing rains at the game. San Francisco is currently in second place in a tight race with the Rams.

The Phoenix Cardinals were holding down first place with a 6-5 record but fell to the Seattle Seahawks Sunday and so first place is knotted at 6-5 apiece. The bottom line is that the 49ers lost Sunday’s game in this tight NFC West.

This weekend is week 12 and would have been the time for San Francisco to turn things around after some tough losses. This was a tough game for the team losing quarterback Brock Purdy to a shoulder injury which is serious enough to keep him out of this game.

There is the hope that he will be able to bounce back in next week’s game against the Buffalo Bills in week 13. A further blow will be the absence of Nick Bosa and Trent Williams. Sunday’s game was a challenge for San Francisco and the loss was a turning point of their season. For sure it was a huge impact.

Next week the 49ers will face another huge challenge facing Josh Allen and the 9-2 Buffalo Bills. They will also be on the road for this game and the team will need Brock Purdy back at the helm. The status of Purdy, Bosa and WIlliams will be updated in the coming week. Kickoff for this game is scheduled for next Sunday night at 5:20 PM.

A Stunning Seattle Final Drive Beats San Francisco 20-17 Ending a Three Year Drought

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

By Barbara Mason

The San Francisco 49ers (5-5) and the Seattle Seahawks (5-5) met in a highly competitive contest Sunday afternoon. The 49ers led at the half 7-6 but the second half revealed a determined Geno Smith scored a touchdown in the final seconds of the game to take the lead and the eventual win 20-17.

Game recap: Other than a San Francisco touchdown with ten seconds left on the clock in the opening quarter there was not a lot of action offensively. Brock Purdy rushed for a ten yard touchdown taking back the lead that the Seahawks had established mid-way through the first quarter.

Seattle kicker Jason Myers had a 52 yard field goal, the first team to score in the game. San Francisco would end the quarter with the Purdy touchdown and going into the second quarter the 49ers led by the score of 7-3.

The only score in the second quarter was a Seattle field goal, a 57 yard Myers kick. The score at the half was 7-6 with San Francisco leading. The first half was a highly competitive one between two evenly matched teams.

There had been only two field goals and one touchdown in the first thirty minutes of play and both teams would be looking for a whole lot more offense in the second half; that one huge play that will break this game open.

San Francisco needed to figure out more ways to score more points in the second half of this low-scoring game, and keep Seattle guessing. The Seahawks had not found the end zone in the first half something that they needed to do if they had any chance of coming out with a win in this game.

San Francisco would need to get their offensive groove going in the second half; they especially wanted to see the dangerous running back Christian McCaffrey get cooking. The San Francisco defense gave their offense an amazing opportunity in the opening minutes of the third quarter intercepting the ball near the Seattle 27 yard line.

The 49ers were poised to extend their lead. San Francisco, was having their share of penalties some of them ill-timed infractions. They had back to back penalties after the interception and were unable to find the end zone. They had to settle for a 33 yard Jake Moody field goal extending their lead 10-6.

The Seahawks got a great drive going following the San Francisco field goal with quarterback Geno Smith mixing it up with some plays through the air as well as on the ground. Seattle drove down into the red zone and had a first and goal inside the San Francisco five yard line.

The Seahawks Kenneth Walker punched the ball into the end zone, the extra point was good and the Seahawks had taken back the lead 13-10. After throwing the interception earlier, Smith was undeterred in this second drive of the third quarter.

San Francisco fought back driving into Seattle territory led by McCaffrey and Purdy really got the passing game going. Inside the red zone, San Francisco committed their eighth penalty but came right back taking up residence on the Seahawk five yard line. The possession culminated in a Purdy to Jauan Jennings three yard pass, the touchdown, with Jennings waltzing into the end zone through a huge gap taking a 17-13 lead with 9:33 left in the game.

The Seahawks put together a great drive having a fourth and one on the San Francisco 37 yard line but could not convert and San Francisco took over on downs with under four minutes left on the clock.

The 49ers defense had really stepped up when it was needed most. San Francisco needed a couple of first downs and some solid clock management to finish off Seattle. The 49ers stalled on the Seattle 42 yard line forcing a punt and the Seahawks had renewed life.

Seattle put together a stunning drive with Smith running the ball into the end zone with 12 seconds left in the game taking a 20-17 lead. The Seahawks had beaten the 49ers for the first time in three years.

Both quarterbacks had done a great job spreading the ball out throughout this game This was a hotly contested game from start to finish with San Francisco coming up just short. Purdy finished the game with 21 of 28 passes, 159 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He was sacked twice. McCaffrey rushed for 79 yards and 27 receiving yards. Jennings had 91 receiving yards in the loss.

Seattle was more explosive in the second half of the game than San Francisco. Smith had a very productive game finishing with 25 of 32 passes for 221 yards, and one interception. He also rushed for 29 yards, some of those yards coming in the final seconds of the game. Kenneth Walker III rushed for 54 yards and Jaxon Smith-Njigba had 110 receiving yards. The payback that the Seahawks had been looking for became a reality.

Game notes: Sunday afternoon the 49ers were looking for their third consecutive win as they took on the Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium. McCaffrey continues to work back into the system after his long layoff. After a slow start this season, San Francisco had turned things around and but just couldn’t get past the Seahawks Sunday even though they had some vastly improved offense and defense.

Seattle came into this game following a bye in week ten and a loss to the Los Angeles Rams 26-20 in week nine. Seattle opened the season with a bang winning three games in a row over the Broncos , the Patriots and the Dolphins but stalled out losing to the Lions, the Giants and a loss to the 49ers on a Thursday Night Football matchup back on October 10th.

Seattle got a little payback in this game. San Francisco had beat the Cowboys 30-24 in week 8, followed by a bye in week nine and then a 23-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Niners couldn’t dominate Seattle like they did earlier this season in this game. San Francisco had beaten the Seahawks for the past three years but that string ended Sunday.

The 49ers will take on the Green Bay Packers in a week 12 matchup. Kickoff for that game is slated for 1:25 PM.

San Francisco Ekes Out A Win Over Tampa Bay 23-20

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody (4) is congratulated by teammates after kicking the game winning field goal to edge the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay on Sun Nov 10, 2024 (AP News photo)

By Barbara Mason

Sunday afternoon the San Francisco 49ers (5-4) took on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6) winning a close contest 23-20. The team welcomed back Christian McCaffrey healthy again and came into this game rested after a bye week.

There is no other word to describe this game other than positively ugly. There were no interceptions, Brock Purdy was sacked three times and Baker Mayfield was sacked twice. San Francisco very nearly lost this game in the closing minutes when the Bucs had a first and goal. Despite 49er kicker Jake Moody’s three missed field goals, he made the one that counted and San Francisco was able to hold on for the win.

Game recap: The 49ers took the lead in the opening quarter 7-0 when quarterback Brock Purdy connected with Ricky Pearsall for a bomb of 46 yards and the touchdown. Jake Moody made the extra point for the early San Francisco lead.

The 49ers would extend their lead in the second quarter when Moody kicked a 28 yard field goal for a 10-0 San Francisco tally. Tampa Bay finally got up on the scoreboard as the second quarter was running out kicking a 30 yard field goal with 1:14 left on the clock. San Francisco took a 10-3 lead into the locker room at the half.

The Buccaneers refused to back down tying up the game at 11:58 in the third quarter. Baker Mayfield found Rachaad White for nine yards and the touchdown. The extra point was good and this game was tied at 10. The 49ers would take back the lead in the later minutes of the quarter when Moody made a 33 yard field Goal 13-10.

Tampa Bay had trailed for the entire game until the fourth quarter rolled around. The Bucs would take a 17-13 lead less than a minute into the final quarter. Bucky Irving rushed for 12 yards pushing Tampa Bay out in front 17-13.

San Francisco pushed right back on the following drive with a George Kittle 74 yard romp putting the Niners on the 38 yard line. When the drive stalled San Francisco was forced to attempt a 38 yard field goal which failed and Tampa Bay held onto the lead with 11:30 left in the game.

Tampa Bay was unable to do much damage on their next set of downs and the 49ers were back at the helm looking to take back the lead. San Francisco’s Jacob Cowing took the Buccaneer Trenton Gill punt rushing for 30 yards and San Francisco set up their series on their own 37 Line.

The 49ers drove down to the Tampa Bay 23 yard line courtesy of Christian McCaffrey who caught a pass deep right for a 30 yard gain setting up a George Kittle catch in the end zone for a San Francisco touchdown and a 20-17 lead with 7:02 left on the clock.

Tampa Bay was not deterred and drove down to the San Francisco 13 yard line in thanks to a face mask and roughing the passer penalties by the 49ers. San Francisco committed a third penalty in a row, a hands to the face and they were giving Tampa Bay chance after chance to waltz away with this game.

They had committed a multitude of horrible errors throughout out the game allowing the Buccaneers to tie up the game at 20 with .41 seconds left on the clock.

San Francisco had the last possession of the game and drove to within field goal range. Jake Moody had one last chance to redeem this game with a 44 field goal attempt and a much needed win. He had struggled all game and very nearly missed a fourth field goal as the ball hit the upright and sailed through for a 23-20 49er win. It was ugly but a win is a win.

When the dust had settled in this see-saw matchup, Christian McCaffrey had the high rushing for 39 yards. He also finished with 68 yards on six receptions an average of 11.3 per catch. He joined a great core of receivers who all chipped in for 282 receiving yards.

It was a great return for the running back. Quarterback Brock Purdy finished the game going 25 of 36 with two touchdowns and no interceptions. He had 353 yards in the game. Jauan Jennings received for 74 yards on five receptions, the high for the team. Despite the win, it was a rough day for kicker Moody missing three field goals in the game. The bottom line is he made the one that counted.

Game notes: After what has seemed to be an eternity the 49ers welcomed Christian McCAffrey back to the field as they took on the Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. How will San Francisco look coming out of their bye week and how will McCaffrey look after such a long struggle with injury suffered last year? A multitude of S.F. fans were seen at the stadium as McCaffrey was poised to return in this game. The team has been cautious and questions have swirled regarding McCaffrey’s workload. McCaffrey ran for 39 yards with 13 carries against the Bucs. The 49ers cannot afford to risk his long term health.

Next Sunday the 49ers will take on the Seattle Seahawks at Levy’s Stadium with kickoff scheduled for 1:05 PM.

San Francisco 49ers podcast with David Zizmor: Purdy ready to battle Buccaneers Sunday in Tampa Bay

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch watches his players in a drill during camp in Santa Clara on Mon Jul 31st, 2023 (AP News file)

On the SF 49ers podcast with David Zizmor:

#1 Dave, the 49ers getting their last win against the Dallas Cowboys 30-24 a close game and Brock Purdy put up some good numbers at quarterback 18-26 for 260 yards, and one touchdown. How do you see Purdy matching up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense this Sunday?

#2 49ers general manager John Lynch said that running back Christian McCaffrey could come off the injury list soon. Lynch said that McCaffrey has passed every test in their plan. During the bye week McCaffrey stayed and worked with the trainers. McCaffrey has been on the injured list since Sep 14th when he injured his with bilateral Achilles tendinitis.

#3 There is talk that 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy could wind up being one of the NFL’s top paid quarterbacks. The question is would Purdy make in the neighborhood of $50, $55, $60, or $65 million and if Purdy has the same type of second half like he did like in the first half he could fetch for those dollar amounts.

How do you see it?
