CINCINNATI, OHIO – DECEMBER 12: George Kittle #85 of the San Francisco 49ers is tackled by Ricardo Allen #37 of the Cincinnati Bengals during the second half of the game at Paul Brown Stadium on December 12, 2021 in Cincinnati, Ohio. SANTA CLARA – It’s 49ers alumni weekend, drawing over 100 ex-players and former owner Eddie DeBartolo to Levi’s Stadium. They better hope Sunday’s game against the Bengals goes better than last year’s reunion.
OK, enough negativity. “We’ve been in position at the end of the game twice to still win,” wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk said of the back-to-back road losses at Cleveland and Minnesota . Darnold’s career has been shrouded with concerns about ball security and pocket presence, at least when he languished with the talent-challenged New York Jets and Carolina Panthers). His throwing prowess attracted the 49ers to sign him in free agency and bequeath him the No. 2 job, which made Trey Lance expendable in a preseason trade to Dallas.The 49ers’ defense has issues to fix, beyond Wilks’ Cover-0, all-out blitz that yielded a 60-yard touchdown just before halftime Monday.
Bosa is taking the heat for not getting more sacks, but he remains opponents’ focal point, and more production is urgently needed from his linemates, be it interior starters Javon Hargrave and Arik Armstead or the other edge rushers, those being Clelin Ferrell, Randy Gregory and Drake Jackson. Cornerback Charvaruis Ward’s scouting report on Chase: “He can do everything. He can line up in the slot, line up outside. Quick game, he’s good. Route running, he’s pretty good. When the ball is in his hands, he turns into a running back. He’s a true No. 1 receiver. I have a lot of respect for him.”Christian McCaffrey is a touchdown tycoon. If he scores this game, he’ll match Lenny Moore’s NFL record with a touchdown in 17 consecutive games, including playoffs.
The Vikings stacked the line of scrimmage, and the 49ers couldn’t break anything longer than a 17-yard scramble from Purdy. This game calls for a 30-carry pursuit to control the tempo and play ball-hog away from Burrow.The 49ers have scored just 17 points in losing each of their past two games. Another common element: they have missed Deebo Samuel’s presence as a play-maker who can physically run through defenders.
