I already planned to write this Jock Blog when we had the great and legendary 49ers beat man Matty Maiocco on the show this morning, so I did a test run. “Is it fair to say, Matt,” I asked, beginning my best courtroom prosecutor impression, “that the 49ers, by losing so much veteran leadership, so…

49ers Bulletin: Idle first day of free agency should precede active second and third waves
There was no shortage of headline moves made on the first day of NFL Free Agency on Monday. Impact players on both sides of the ball inked extensions, found new homes, and left the franchises that made them stars. The 49ers were firmly on the “goodbye” side of the aisle, as five 2024 starters departed…

The morning after the Super Bowl has arrived, and the 49ers are, in the grand scheme of things, in the same place they were last season on that Monday morning. It hurt a lot more then, a brutal, gut-wrenching loss kept Niners fans up all night and cut deep for weeks to come. The Niners…

Saleh is back, maybe, and that’s a huge win. Maybe
IF Saleh indeed takes the gig, the 49ers have answered perhaps their biggest off-season question not named Brock Purdy’s bank account with a resounding YES.

The 49ers 2024 season trudged to an uninspiring ugly finish in Arizona on Sunday afternoon. Mercifully, one of the most disappointing seasons in the history of the franchise has reached an end. The final product? A previously unfathomable 6-11 mark that does a sufficient job summarizing the hellscape that was the last four months of…

For about 30 minutes on Monday night, the Ninrs offense resembled the high powered machine it’s looked like for much of the past five seasons. The zone running, lethal play action passing, and comprehensive distribution had the NFC best Detroit Lions on their heels at Levi’s Stadium. This offense, of course, hasn’t been remotely close…

It’s the final week of 2024. All over the world, people are finalizing New Year’s resolutions, looking at ways to better themselves in 2025. The 49ers are doing the same, as they should be after a disastrous 2024 campaign that saw them eliminated with three weeks remaining in the regular season. No 49ers offseason comes…

49ers Bulletin: The 2024 season has an official time of death
In just two short weeks, almost unbelievably, the 49ers will conduct exit interviews following the 18th week of what has been the season from hell. The pre-season tumult that Niners fans hoped and prayed would melt away once games got underway stuck around in the worst way possible. The season from hell trudged on Sunday…

Murph gives the 2025 prognoses for the Bay Area’s ailing Big Three
Final Jock Blog of 2024 and I’ve got bad news for you, Bay Area: No championships this year, kids. (With apologies to Stanford women’s sailing, of course. The canvas can do miracles. Just you wait and see.) The 49ers huffed and puffed and couldn’t blow the Super Bowl house down in February in Las Vegas.…
