Chiefs week. It seems crazy, silly almost, that the 49ers and their fans have assigned a name to a week leading up to a matchup with an AFC foe. But when you’ve lost two Super Bowls to an ever-ascending dynasty, and take the field as two of the best teams in the NFL each time…

Breathe in, Niners fans. Hold it. Gather yourself. Now breathe out slowly. Feel that relaxation? That peace? That’s the panic leaving your body. Just four days after a second catastrophic loss in three weeks on Sunday, the 49ers reminded the football world that they can still be the bullies on the block in the NFC.…

It’s on him. After all, he’s an NFL starting quarterback. It’s the most powerful position in Western Civilization. Sure, we spent the week on the show listing all the good reasons the 49ers are a rather disappointing 2-3 thus far, with two blown fourth-quarter leads at the Rams and at home against the Cardinals. Among…

Two weeks ago, the 49ers traveled north from Los Angeles in a stunned daze after coughing up what had looked like a sure win against the Rams. San Francisco said all the right things in the days following. Coaches and players assured fans that they’d learn from it, and that while these things happen, they…

If you thought the Niners’ injury issues couldn’t get worse before the team’s astonishing loss to the Rams, think again. A decimated red and gold squad limped into SoFi Stadium, then literally and figuratively limped out. Things couldn’t be going much worse for the defending NFC champions. In a conference call with reporters on Monday…

The hospital wing of the 49ers facility in Santa Clara is already crowded. As of Thursday afternoon, it doesn’t look like the capacity will be thinning any time soon. The 49ers announced that two more key players are dealing with injuries as the team prepares to face the Rams in Los Angeles on Sunday. All-Pro…

It’s amazing how much difference a day makes. 48 hours ago, the 49ers and their fans were walking the walk, rolling into Minnesota after a statement week one with all the confidence in the world. With good reason too, for the most part. Now a perennial NFC juggernaut, San Francisco and its faithful had, (and…

Christian McCaffrey has been officially ruled out for Sunday’s game in Minnesota. After a late scratch in Monday’s season opener, his earlier out designation in week two reflects the heightened concern San Francisco has for his Achilles tendinitis. Kyle Shanahan announced McCaffrey’s official status Friday afternoon, and ominously didn’t rule out a trip to IR…

49ers fans woke up on Monday morning under the impression that their all world running back Christian McCaffrey would be in the backfield for the season opener against New York at Levi’s Stadium later that evening. Fast forward just over 24 hours, and the immediate future of No. 23 is far less clear. Niners fans…
