San Francisco 49ers

With the trade deadline approaching, Pro Football Talk is reporting that the Philadelphia Eagles are still interested in making a deal for 49ers receiver Torrey Smith.

49ers rookie defensive end Deforest Buckner was fined $9,115 by the NFL for a costly (in more ways than one) unnecessary roughness penalty in Sunday’s 34-17 loss to Tampa Bay.

Hall-of-fame defensive back Ronnie Lott joined the Murph and Mac Show on Friday morning and said that the San Francisco 49ers are not playing with the passion required to be successful in the NFL.

Former NFL quarterback and radio host Boomer Esiason joined The Audible on Friday morning and had some strong takes regarding the fates of both Trent Baalke and Chip Kelly.

We learned on Wednesday that Niners general manager Trent Baalke has at least one unlikely supporter still in his corner.

49er fans are at it again, this time planning to fly a banner calling for the ousting of general manager Trent Baalke, ahead of San Francisco’s next home game on Nov. 6.

With his year long suspension almost over, Roger Goodell will soon decide the fate of Oakland Raiders pass rusher Aldon Smith, and whether he will be able to return to the team this season.

Sometimes in sports, “the way it’s always done” can be really stupid. The latest and most prevalent example is in the NFL and often college football: The insistence of placing a punt returner back to field a punt. How about not ever having a return man and never trying to block a punt. Actually, just leave your defense on the field on 4th down every time.

It was a slow day at the office for Smith, who only caught one pass on two targets for 17 yards. The veteran WR has been held to 182 yards and 12 receptions on the year.

Aaron Lynch didn’t let the San Francisco 49ers sixth straight loss get him down in the locker room after the game. The linebacker pointed to the team’s fast start, claiming his team is ‘hands down’ the best team in the NFC.
