On the 49ers podcast with David:

#1 San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan says that has been the main issue. Shanahan said fatigue was the main issue but said it’s hurting the team. It was pointed out in last Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals the 49ers missed 16 tackles, nine players missed a tackle, and the defense missed 14 tackles previous to the Cardinals game and 12 in the Cardinals game.

# 2 Shanahan said losing defensive tackle Kalia Davis for several weeks due to a high ankle sprain put pressure at defensive tackle on the depth chart. David, do you feel that led to a number of missed tackles in the game and why Shanahan is so concerned about this area of the 49ers defense?

#3 The 49ers host the Baltimore Ravens (11-3) on Christmas for Monday Night Football at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara. The 49ers (11-3) are coming in on a six game win streak. The Ravens are also on a roll they’ve won four straight coming into this game. Do you see both of these teams evenly matched coming into this one?

On the 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes:

#1 Joe, the 49ers will try and push their win streak to six games this weekend when they face the Arizona Cardinals in Glendale. They seem like there is nothing that can stop them now especially in their last few games beating Seattle twice in the last three weeks and their big win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Dec 3rd.

#2 49ers cornerback Jason Verett said that he’s not even considering retirement despite having two torn Achilles, two torn ACLs, and a torn Labrum. Varrett said that’s been his journey and his battle.

#3 Defensive end Nick Bosa is known as the elite pass rusher he will move inside to being the man in the middle. This was a move that with the help defensive coordinator Steve Wilks will this move make Bosa more effective on sacks and the pass rush?

#4 Talk about the roles of Chase Young and Randy Gregory as pass rushers at defensive end. Bosa said that having Young and Gregory they’ll get the snaps they deserve.

#5 The Arizona Cardinals have quarterback Kyler Murray back in the line up. How effective do you see Murray being under center since he’s been back and how much of a big test will this be for Murray facing a team like the 49ers at State Farm Stadium this Sunday. Also what your prediction between these two teams?

Deebo Samuel, George Kittle and quarterback Brock Purdy spur the San Francisco 49ers (10-3) on to their fifth straight win beating the Seattle Seahawks (6-7) 28-16. San Francisco continues on their amazing path toward a post-season.

Sunday afternoon the 49ers welcomed the Seahawks to Levi’s Stadium. The 49ers are chasing the Philadelphia Eagles for the top seed in the National Football Conference. The Eagles play the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night football and no doubt all 49er eyes will be focused in on that result. An Eagle win could give Philadelphia a 70% chance to take the number one seed. Seattle also had a lot to play for as they chase a wild card spot. This was a huge game for both teams.

Game recap: The Seahawks took a 10-7 lead in the opening quarter. San Francisco took an early 7-0 lead when Jordan Mason rushed for three yards and the first score of the game. Seattle answered when wide receiver DK Metcalf tied up the game via a 31 yard pass from Drew Lock. The Seahawks would take the lead with 56 ticks left on the clock in the first quarter. Seattle kicker Jason Myers booted a 40 yard Field Goal for a 10-7 lead.

San Francisco struck first with a Jordan Mason rushing touchdown for three yards. Seattle would answer with not only a touchdown but a field goal to end the first quarter. DK Metcalf caught a 31 yard pass from Drew Lock at 9:44. The Seahawks would end the quarter with a 40 yard field goal courtesy of Jason Myers for a 10-7 lead going into the second quarter.

San Francisco would take the lead in the second quarter 14-10. Deebo Samuel caught a 54 yard pass from Brock Purdy. The 49er defense was solid in the quarter keeping Seattle out of the end zone and off the scoreboard. San Francisco took the 14-10 lead into the locker room at the half.

Both teams scored touchdowns in the third quarter. San Francisco extended their lead in the early minutes of the quarter. Deebo Samuel found the end zone for the second time in this game via a one yard rush for a 21-10 49er lead.

The Seahawks answered with 24 seconds left in the third quarter. Lock found Colby Parkinson for 25 yards and the touchdown. Seattle attempted a two-point conversion that failed. The Seahawks still trailed 21-16 but they were still very much in this game.

The 49ers nailed the coffin shut on the Seahawks in the opening minutes of the final quarter. George Kittle caught a 44 yard pass from Purdy extending their lead to 28-16. The San Francisco 49ers defense held fast through the remainder of the fourth quarter keeping the Seahawks off the scoreboard. The final was 28-16.

This was a terrific game for quarterback Brock Purdy who threw a career-high of 368 yards and two touchdowns. With so much talent surrounding him, all Purdy has to do is get the ball in their hands and they do the rest. Wonder kid Christian McCaffrey rushed for 145 yards.

The receiving corp was on fire with Deebo Samuel finishing with 149 yards and one touchdown. Samuel also had a rushing touchdown. Brandon Alyuk had 126 receiving yards and George Kittle hit pay dirt in the fourth quarter catching a 44 yard Brock pass for the final score of 28-16.

Next Sunday the 49ers will take on the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium. The Cardinals are struggling with a record of 3-10 but always present a threat with quarterback Kyler Murray at the helm. San Francisco will be looking for their sixth win in a row. Kickoff for this game is scheduled for 1:05 PM.

On the 49ers podcast with David Zizmor:

#1 San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy threw for an amazing four touchdowns. When you look at Purdy’s passing for scores and how the 49ers dominated the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football this was a game that was expected to be a lot closer than it was?

#2 The Niners are 5-0 and have beaten a team the Arizona Cardinals who defeated the Dallas Cowboys on Sep 24 and then the 49ers with their win on Sunday over the Cowboys, the 49ers just exceeded their expectations or was this what you expected against teams like the Cardinals and Cowboys?

#3 The 49ers travel to face the Cleveland Browns for a 10AM PT kick off in Cleveland. The Browns struggled in their last game against the against the Baltimore Ravens in a landslide loss 28-3. Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson threw for 121 yards and was intercepted three times. Browns starter DeShaun Watson’s bruised shoulder is still bothering him and may have to sit out again for next Sunday against the 49ers.

#1 David, 49ers continue to roll now 4-0 with their latest defeat over the Arizona Cardinals at Levi Stadium on Sunday 35-16. 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy 20-21, 283 yards, and one touchdown. He did get quite a lot of time in the pocket against the Cardinals.

#2 Dave, the Cardinals drop to 1-3. Quarterback Joshua Dobbs threw 28-41, 265 yards, and two touchdowns. How much do the Cardinals miss first string quarterback Kyler Murray right now?

#3 The Cardinals beat the Cowboys two weeks ago. The Cowboys are headed to Levi Stadium for Monday Night Football and are 3-1. Do you see this one as one of the 49ers toughest games coming up?

San Francisco 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes: 49ers host a Cardinals team who shocked America’s team the Cowboys

On the 49ers podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 Joe, San Francisco (3-0) in their last game against the New York Giants regained the lead midway through the second quarter when quarterback Brock Purdy connected with Ronnie Bell on a nine-yard touchdown reception along the left sideline. It was the first NFL reception for Bell, the rookie seventh round draft pick out of Michigan, who did a nice tight rope job to haul in his first career touchdown.

#2 Defensive end Nick Bosa looked like a well-oiled machine as he made life miserable for New York quarterback Daniel Jones the entire game. Bosa finished with one sack and hit Jones four times as he took advantage of banged up Giants offensive line.

#3 49ers running back Christian McCaffery gave his team a two-touchdown lead near the end of the first half when he scampered in for a four-yard rushing touchdown that completed a 11 play 73-yard drive that chewed up over four and a half minutes off the clock.

#4 McCaffery led all rushers with 85 yards on 18 carries. He finished with 118 all-purpose yards as he also had five catches for 34 yards.

#5 The Arizona Cardinals are coming to Santa Clara Sunday to face the 49ers. The Cardinals are coming off a shocking 28-16 win over the Dallas Cowboys last week. 49ers safety Tashaun Gipson said, “I don’t think anybody, including Arizona, probably, thought they were winning that game,”

On the SF 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes:

#1 It just seemed no matter how hard the New York Giants tried to blitz San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and the 49ers offensive line Purdy was able to find a receiver on Thursday Night Football.

#2 Running back Christian McCaffrey has scored a touchdown in 12 straight games McCaffrey is finding holes and has been getting blocks and has been effective in the red zone.

#3 Joe, talk about wide receiver Deebo Samuel who caught two Purdy passes for touchdowns. How effective has Samuel been at wide receiver these first three games?

#4 The win on Thursday night was the 49ers 13th straight regular season game, there seems like there hasn’t been any effective opponent with the exception of last year’s Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship game that the 49ers have faced.

#5 The 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals on Sun Oct 1st at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara. Joe talk about how you see Purdy throwing against the Cardinals defense in this one?

Niners Clip the Wings of the Cardinals in Regular Season Finale at Levi’s, 38-13

By Michael Roberson

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The San Francisco Forty-Niners put themselves into the #2 seed in the NFC, by preventing the Arizona Cardinals from flying around the Silicon Valley skies, 38-13..

Although they wanted to attain the #1 seed, those other birds, top-seeded Philadelphia Eagles,  took care of business in the City of Brotherly Love..

Arizona quieted the full house in Levi;s Stadium with a 77-yard bomb from QB David Blough to receiver AJ Green in less than a minute of the game’s opening drive,  Unfortunately, their kicker, the usually reliable Matt Prater missed the PAT.  

A few minutes later, the all-purpose weapon, Christian McCaffrey caught a 21-yard touchdown from quarterback Brock Purdy, and kicker Robbie Gould made his initial PAT.  After 15 minutes of play, 7-6 Niners.

In the second quarter, the 49ers hit paydirt twice and the Cardinals made it to the house once.

San Francisco running back Alijah Mitchell scampered for a 5-yard TD after a Tashaun Gipson interception of Blough.

Arizona ‘s running back Corey Clement blasted the line for a 1-yard touchdown, bringing the score to a margin of one point, 14-13.

With 19 seconds left in the half,  Niners’ star tight end George Kittle received a 4-yard touchdown, putting them up by eight at intermission, 21-13.

The Santa Clara inhabitants went on a 17-0 run in the third quarter, ballooning their lead to 25, 38-13 after 3,

Mitchell and Kittle both returned to the endzone, Gould kicked a 27-yard field goal and Gipson picked off another pass.

The fourth segment of the game was very uneventful, as the third quarter score remained the same as the final score, 38-13, in favor of the home team.

Mr. RELEVANT (Purdy) threw 3 touchdowns on 178 yards passing for the Niners, while Cardinals’ QB David Blough passed for 180 yards, tossed a touchdown, but had two attempts picked off.

At press time, the 49ers will host either the Green Bay Packers or the Seattle Seahawks next weekend, pending Green Bay’s later scoring total.

Cardinals’ defensive end JJ Watt played his last NFL game with an impressive two sacks to end an incredible career.  He intimated that he was thankful for his time in the league and appreciative of his many accolades.

On the 49ers podcast with Joe:

#1 Joe, how big is it for the San Francisco 49ers (12-4) to get Deebo Samuel and Elijah Mitchell back do you see them getting into today’s lineup against the Arizona Cardinals (4-12)?

#2 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Deebo is cleared to get in today just how much was he missed out of the line up since getting injured back on week 14 due to knee injuries.

#3 Mitchell returns since spraining his knee back on Nov 27th, Mitchell has had ACL spasms and has only played in four regular season games. How important is it to have Mitchell back as the post season starts next week.

#4 The 49ers will rest guard Aaron Banks who is out with knee and ankle sprains and Dre Greenlaw who is out with a back injury. The 49ers have said they will rest both players today against the Cardinals and both are expected back in the playoffs.

#5 Finally Joe how much of an impact has it been on the Cardinals who play against the 49ers today at Levi Stadium since they lost quarterback Kyler Murray. Murray sustained a knee injury on a quarterback keeper during week 14 that put him out for the rest of the season and he is not expected to be there at the beginning of next season either.
