San Francisco Finishes Off Las Vegas 34-10

By Barbara Mason

Sunday afternoon the San Francisco 49ers took on the Las Vegas Raiders in their third and final pre-season game. In this pre-season the 49ers dropped their first to the Kansas City Chiefs in a close contest followed by another close win over the Chargers.

The first quarter of this game was all San Francisco. They took the early lead when quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo scored on a one yard rush 7-0. Going into the second quarter the team picked up where they left off in the first quarter.

The 49ers had their second touchdown on a 2 yard rush by, of course, quarterback Trey Lance and the QB shuffle continued to yield some nice benefits.

They now led 14-0. Mid-way through the quarter Las Vegas got on the board via a 51 yard field goal. San Francisco would kick two field goals before the half. A 21 yard and a 19 yard field goal gave the 49ers a 20-3 lead at halftime.

The third quarter was an impressive one for running back JaMycal Hasty. He ran for a 35 yard touchdown and another 3 yard rush for a td giving San Francisco a 34-10 lead. Earlier in the third quarter Las Vegas scored on a pass from Nick Bowers to Nathan Peterman for 16 yards.

Neither team would score in the fourth quarter. The 49ers came away with the 34-10 win as they now prepare for the regular season.

San Francisco’s Jimmy Garoppolo finished 4 of 7 for 64 yards and Trey Lance was 6 of 13 for 46 yards. San Francisco had a great day in the air with 133 passing yards and on the ground as well with 242 rushing yards.

The team will now head to Detroit for their first regular season game on Sunday September 12. They will be taking on former Ram’s quarterback Jared Goff as they prepare to showcase their QB platoon. Kickoff is schedule for 10:00AM. San Francisco is favored to win their first game of the 2021 season 61.3% to 38.4%.

On the Raiders podcast with Rich:

The Las Vegas Raiders stuck with quarterback Nathan Peterman every game and you never know I would have hoped to see Moriota play a little bit but he’s still had that hurt leg. For Peterman 175 passing yards today and he had the second and third stringers with him.

It wasn’t apple to apples or oranges to oranges with a lot of their starters. The 49ers had a lot of offense going for them in the first three quarters and they were alternating Garoppolo with Lance and the 49ers look like their ready to play week one football against the Detroit Lions so kudos to them.

The Raiders on the other hand Gruden was going to use today to decide whose going to stay on this team and he used this game as a show case for that as Peterman threw for one touchdown and one interception and he had 13 rushing yards.

The Raiders host the Baltimore Ravens on Sun Sep 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for Sunday Night Football at 5:15 pm

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will be switching off with quarterback Trey Lance during Sun Aug 29, 2021’s game at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara as announced by head coach Kyle Shanahan (file photo from wikipedia.com)

On the 49ers contest with Jeremiah:

#1 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan will be going with his starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo will get every opportunity to work his skill set but is this a try out for starter or does Garoppolo have the starting job?

#2 Jeremiah this is not to say that Shanahan wants to get some looks at quarterback Trey Lance who threw for two touchdowns in the last pre season game in Los Angeles against the Chargers.

#3 Shanahan said he will mix Lance in the game on Sunday against the Raiders and most likely will not have Lance doing any rushing just have him stay in the pocket to avoid any injuries.

#4 Last Sunday Garoppolo did play all 15 of his snaps in the opening series of the game and Lance later took over and got the win for the 49ers over the Chargers with the two touchdowns and 15-10 win.

#5 Jeremiah talk about the wide receiver issues, Brandon Aiyuk has a bad hamstring that will keep out of Sunday’s game, Aiyuk according to Shanahan is expected back next week for practice, wide receiver Richie James Jr who is having an MRI. The 49ers are checking to see if he is having a season ending ligament tear.

On NFL podcast with Tony R:

#1 The Jacksonville Jaguars have named Trevor Lawrence as their starting quarterback, Jags head coach Urban Myer made the announcement on Wednesday and Lawrence is slated to make his start on Sep 12th versus against the Houston Texans in Houston.

#2 Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy has announced that Andy Dalton will be the starting quarterback and he was selected over Justin Fields to start. Dalton has a lot of veteran experience but also Nagy had to measure how Dalton looked in pre season and camp as well.

#3 Sad story Tony, New York Jets defensive end Vinny Curry will miss the entire 2021 season due to a rare blood disorder and Curry had to have his spleen removed which led to complications. During the recovery process Curry developed blood clots doctors have put Curry on blood thinners and said he is not to play contact sports for three to six months and miss this season.

#4 San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that while he hasn’t decided on a starting quarterback yet there has been talk that the 49ers who are favored to win the NFC West will be going with quarterback Trey Lance. Lance in his last pre season game threw two touchdown passes and saw more time under center than starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in last Sunday’s game against the Chargers.

#5 Tony, the Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Nathan Peterman has started in the first two pre season games and completed both games. This Sunday against the 49ers do you see starting quarterback Derek Carr and back up Marcus Mariota getting some time or will Peterman play most of the game?

#2 Lance has carried once and it was on a eight yard play in 63 snaps during pre season after he carried for 1100 yards in 2019 at North Dakota.

#3 The Las Vegas Raiders return to the Bay Area to play the 49ers this Sunday at Levis Stadium in Santa Clara. it’s the last pre season game. Will this last pre season game bring some intensity with the players and fans?

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Rich Perez: Raiders cut roster down to 80 players; Gruden to make more cuts

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

(photo from the lasvegasreviewjournal.com) Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Marcell Ateman (88) who was released from the Raiders on Wed Aug 24, 2021 makes the catch but loses it for an incomplete pass while Seattle Seahawks corner Ahkello Witherspoon (2) looks on at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sun Aug 22, 2021

On the Raiders podcast with Rich:

#1 The Raiders trimmed their roster by three players to get to the 80 players which included wide receiver Marcell Ateman, defensive tackle Darius Stills, and put veteran linebacker Darren Lee on the injured reserve list.

#2 With the three recent cuts head coach Jon Gruden will have the tough task of trimming the roster further and that could come as early as after today’s practice or after Sunday’s game against the 49ers.

#3 The Raiders have expressed interest in linebacker KJ Wright who also is open to offers from the Seattle Seahawks if negotiations work out. Wright who is currently unsigned is leaning towards Seattle but if that falls through the Raiders have expressed some interest. Either way Wright will land somewhere.

#4 Rich, last Sunday night was a night that rookie cornerback Nate Hobbs won’t forget he was all over coverage and his best play was when he leaped over the Seahawks receiver TuTu Atwell to grab an interception. Coach Gruden is so happy with his work that Hobbs will play all or most of Sunday’s game against the 49ers.

#5 For the second consecutive pre season game Raiders third string quarterback Nathan Peterman started and played the entire game. Throwing 16-24 for 172 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions last Sunday against the Rams. With Derek Carr skipping pre season games and back up Marcus Mariota resting an injured leg do you see Carr and Mariota getting some time against the 49ers this weekend or will Peterman get most of the time under center?

~ By Pearl Allison Lo 

~ August 22, 2021 

~ INGLEWOOD– San Francisco began and ended with the lead 15-10 in their first visit to SoFi Stadium for Los Angeles´ first official home game with 68,327 attendance.

There were a lot of penalties in the game, 13 for the 49ers and 12 for the Chargers, the first occurring with 14:18 left in the first.  

San Francisco QB Jimmy Garoppolo started and stayed in for one drive like last game, because of how long the first drive lasted. He was able to avoid a sack and scramble for 10 yards, but was eventually intercepted by Asante Samuel Jr. The possession took 15 plays and lasted almost seven and a half minutes.

The 49ers got their first safety of the preseason when DL Jordan Willis sacked QB Easton Stick in the end zone with 10:42 left in the second.

With 9:07 left, this time it was the other San Francisco QB Trey Lance who was intercepted and it ended up more costly. The following possession after two penalties by the 49ers, the Chargers got the first touchdown. Stick made a three yard pass to WR Joshua Palmer with 5:49 left.

Los Angeles tacked on a field goal to make it 10-2 with just over a minute left to go in the half. This was thanks to a 39-yard long pass to WR Jalen Guyton near the beginning of the drive and despite offensive holding and intentional grounding penalties to the Chargers. LB Jonas Griffith for the 49ers also had a facemask penalty which offset the loss a bit.

The first half excitement wasn’t over yet though. Off a no huddle 12-yard gain by RB Wayne Gallman II to get to 3rd and 1, the 49ers called a timeout and Lance threw another deep pass to WR Trent Sherfield for the second game in a row, this one for 41 yards.

The Bolts then committed a 5-yard penalty and after another timeout, Lance threw five yards into the end zone to WR Mohamed Sanu Sr. and Lance ran to convert for two more points. Kicker Robbie Gould missed the extra point attempt, bringing the score back to within two. 

Los Angeles brought in QB Chase Daniel for the second half. 

Lance had his first non-scoring scramble go for eight yards as San Francisco regained the lead on almost a six and a half minute drive, in which they converted from 3rd down three times. Lance threw a 16-yard pass to WR Travis Benjamin with 5:01 left in the third.

Things kept going the 49ers’ way when they got their first interception with 13:13 left in the fourth. Safety Jared Mayden intercepted Daniel and went 54 yards for a score, but DL Shilique Calhoun was called for offensive holding. 

The Niners committed a third turnover when new QB Nate Sudfeld fumbled on his second drive of the game and LB Cole Christiansen recovered. 

San Francisco and the Chargers punted for the remainder of the game, most three and outs or extended by penalties. Bolts´ Jessie Lemonier committed the last penalty of the game with 1:49 left for roughing the passer.

Regarding the 49ers´ quarterbacks, Garoppolo threw 3 of 6 for 15 passing yards, 10 rushing yards and the one interception. Lance finished 8 of 14 for 102 passing yards, eight rushing yards, two scores, the one interception and was sacked twice. Sudfeld went 3 for 5 for 24 yards. Head Coach Kyle Shanahan remained noncommittal after the game between Garoppolo or Lance starting Week 1. 

For the Bolts, Stick went 10 for 14 for 85 yards and one TD. Daniel went 14 of 21 for 60 yards and one interception. The San Francisco defense sacked each of them multiple times, Stick three times and Daniel twice. 

Overall the Niners won the yardage game, 281-162. The biggest difference came via rushing, with San Francisco outrunning Los Angeles 148-53.

The Chargers rested all their offensive starters. 

Up Next: The Niners play their third and final preseason game versus their former Bay Area rival, the Las Vegas Raiders August 29th at 1pm.

By Rich Perez

Las Vegas Media and Sports Radio Service


LOS ANGELES, CA-The Las Vegas Raiders rolled into SoFi Stadium, home of the Rams, with a huge chip on their shoulder after some rough practices all week with the Rams at their practice facility. Winning with a new look… defensive style 17-16.

Raiders RB Trey Ragas started the scoring with a rushing Touchdown that led to a 7-0 lead which the Raiders held for much of the first half before the tables turned on Raiders QB Nate Peterman who was intercepted in the second quarter, leading to a Rams drive to tie the game. The Rams would add another three points to go into the half leading the Raiders 10-7.

The second half was dominated by the play of rookie out of Illinois Nate Hobbs,Hobbs had an interception and added several top plays to ignite the Raiders defense to key stops of the Rams offensive surges. Nate Peterman led the Raiders on two key second half drives, in which the Raiders went up 17-10 with ten unanswered points.

Rams running QB Bryce Perkins played a very tough fourth quarter and made some key drives to bring the Rams back into the game, eluding a would be sack on 4th and 6 on the 15 to gain a key first down, then scoring on a key fourth and Goal with a well executed pass to the corner of the end zone to make the game 17-16 Raiders. The extra point attempt was a two point conversion, in which the fade route failed as the Raiders defense held up to secure the win 17-16. 

Next week the Raiders (2-0) will play in Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, against the San Francisco 49ers next week. That will wrap up the pre-season and lead to the Monday night 9/13 opening night showdown vs the Baltimore Ravens in Las Vegas, NV.

On the 49ers podcast with Jeremiah:

#1 One thing about last Thursday’s practice at the 49ers camp head coach Kyle Shanahan was going to make sure that he wanted to see quarterback Trey Lance get some more reps which he did as Lance got eight straight plays in against Sunday’s opponent the San Diego Chargers first team.

#2 In the practice Lance completed the three passes one was a shovel pass, he also made a nice slot throw to Mohamed Sanu that Sanu dropped. But coach Shanahan was satisfied with what he saw of Lance.

#3 Shanahan said he will have Lance drill with the starters and the opposition first team and wanted to see what he can do.

#4 Jeremiah, After 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa played last season for the first 11 snaps and was felled by an injury suffering a torn ACL against the New York Jets during week 2 but says. Bosa is leaner and in better shape. 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans said Bosa looks fast and explosive.

#5 Ryans said Bosa’s recovery could make him better than his rookie year in 2019 in last week’s practice he pressured the Chargers quarterbacks. In Bosa’s rookie season in 2019 he had 47 tackles, 9.0 sacks and 25 quarterback hits.
