Niners Gameday Thread
An upset win today would go a long way toward reshaping the narrative at the halfway mark of the season. The rushing defense MUST show up! GO RAIDERS!

24 yards rushing. Jeanty with 25, Bowers with 2, and Mike Washington -3. Our running/blocking game is terrible.
But hats off to the 49ers player of the game, the Raiders' defense. They opened so many holes for the 49ers' offense
Cousins stock went down today. That game reaffirms my contention that Mendoza should play. Tre Tucker totally outran the defense, then Cousins underthrew him for an INT. Mendoza to Tucker could be like Carr to Ruggs. It's time. Take a 3rd or a 4th rounder for Cousins before the deadline and let's move on. The prospect of Cousins winning 1-2 more games than Mendoza in 2026 is inconsequential.
The Raiders play Masses, Stukes, McCoy, Zuhn and other rookies but they won't play their #1 draft pick.
Other observations:
The reverse on kickoff return was great. Doing it 2x in the same game was stupid.
The Raiders running game is as bad as their run defense. And why can the defense only perform in the second half? Every game is the same.
It's time to start managing and coaching this team for next year. Get a head start. Mendoza is more than capable of outperforming what Cousins did today.
Great comments, thanks! New take is up. We need to talk. Bang it there.
