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…

As for the 49ers, we turn to noted NFL fan and legendary documentarian Marty DiBergi, who once said: Enough of the off-season yakking. Whattya say. Let’s boogie. (Kids, you can look up Marty DiBergi later. Suffice to say, we hope the 49ers win total ‘goes to eleven’.) Point being, I spent the last six weeks…

It’s been nearly seven months since the 49ers trudged off the field in Las Vegas, licking their latest fresh wound as the Chiefs danced with their third Lombardi.

After a summer that consistently featured no news, the last five days has been full of breaking news for the 49ers. Too much breaking news, in fact. The Brandon Aiyuk months-long stalemate came to an official end on Thursday, as he inked a four-year $120 Million contract extension. $76 Million of that is guaranteed. On…

Preseason football rarely satisfies the appetites of football hungry fans late in the summer. The stakes are obviously near zero for established players. Few even play, especially not for teams who make annual postseason pilgrimages that naturally shorten the off-season. But storylines persist, nevertheless. Brock Purdy played without most of his fellow offensive starters, the…

2020 was a miserable season for 49er fans for a multitude of reasons. The pain of losing a Super Bowl the team should have won was still fresh when the world shut down due to Covid. A virtual draft and super shortened offseason later, a promising 2020 season soon melted into an injury riddled trudge…
