Game Thread: 49ers vs Lions

[Pattersonca65]

Something to watch for in a meaningless game

49ers defensive snap count: Kenneth Acker replaced in lineup by Dontae Johnson

Meaningless game. I hope they use all the backups. Don't want to see starters get injured.

Also Brown will be the starting RT. He got a good grade last game against cincy. Pears never graded better then Brown 1st game as a 49er. This is a positive sign. Even if AD comes back brown will give us depth. So out of this season we found out that Brown and Tiller can play at this level. Either as starters or good depth.

Im ready for next year already. I want this season to end. Im excited to see Tartt and Armstead next year. Besides that not much to get excited about yet.

I just want a top 5 pick. It will give us options.

i want to win....every game. Ok if we spell some vets with younger players, but lets play to win versus playing young guys.

Once the season ends, then we draft where we draft. A higher draft slot obviously helps, but you still have to choose the right players.

Cosell said Brown played pretty well. He said Brown as a tall player makes a common mistake of bending at the waist which will cause him to lose leverage. Something for him to work on. He is probably far ahead of martin already.

A win does crap. A win hurts more then anything. A win hurts draft position and gives York hope that Tomsula can be an HC. I do not want to win that is for sure. I hate saying that but its the truth. If we were seeing improvement every week then yes a win would be nice but this team has gone backwards. Wins will give this franchise false hope.

we need to lose out. That is what we need to do.

At this point it is the only way to gain something from this season

 

[Pattersonca65]

Unless the Lions pack it in I don't see the 49ers beating the Lions in Detroit next week even if the 49ers try to. 49er defense has been crappy on the road this season and with time to throw Stafford can be really effective. The issue is the last game of the week. All season the Rams have played down to their competition and it looks like they might be mailing it in also.

Lions came away with a win last night despite a missed field goal and I think 2 offensive turnovers. Don't see us winning.

I hope they play the young guys like Harold, Brown and Cromartie. Give them valuable experience. Niners have nothing to gain with winning. Niners will keep it close, but at the end Lions win 24-10.

No way we beat Lions. No way we can cover Tate and Johnson.

I agree its time to play all the young guys to see what we have.

Who's next in line at QB; Thompson? I wouldn't seeing what he has to offer.

I wouldn't mind seeing what he has to offer.

He's gonna need a ton of work but the kid is a stud...think he could be good down the road. I can't figure out for the life of me that they don't just bring up Hayne and get him some reps returning...he has potential to be an absolute beast.

Interesting to see how D Johnson plays against their receivers. He might be starting this week

I don't get Hayne at all. I know he needs work but he can't be much worse than what we have to work with at this point. This coaching staff baffles me. They are coaching like the 49ers are playing for playoff position. They play conservatively and continue to play certain veterans like they are trying to minimize mistakes. What they ought to be doing is playing more of the young guys, especially those that haven't seen a lot of playing time to get a better idea of what they can do in game situations.

this is why i dont trust this staff. they waiting to long to change oline. Tiller should of been in earlier, Brown should of got a chance earlier, hodges should of been starting maybe a week or so after the trade. they dont know when to make a change.
