San Francisco 49ers vs Los Angeles Rams

“I was very excited to do that”.

The quarterback found Rod Streater on a slant pattern to cap a 10-play, 73-yard drive to make it 21-20 before punching in the key 2-point conversion. That might be understandable if Joe Montana and Jerry Rice were still playing in San Francisco but it’s not almost acceptable against the 49ers current roster.

“It doesn’t matter what position he’s put in, what the circumstances are, he is going to step in and do his job”, Kaepernick said.

“I’m proud of Johnny”, said Fassel, who remains as the Rams special teams coordinator in addition to being interim coach. Expect LA to have little to no respect for the San Francisco passing game and use arguably the best defensive lineman in the league, Aaron Donald, to be in the backfield of a reshuffled 49ers offensive unit, especially an suspect offensive line, that will start rookies John Theus and Joshua Garnett. “The fact that we had some offensive line players moving around, some new guys in there, and they came out and held their own is huge and something we can build on”. And they deserved it. The formula worked for awhile as they only trailed 10-3 by halftime.

San Francisco’s upcoming game with the Rams features two of the worst team in the league.

However, those two possessions in the fourth quarter resulted in the game-winning points and made everything that came before a distant memory.

LOS ANGELES KEY TRENDS: The Rams are winless at 0-4-1 against the spread in their last five home games, are winless at 0-5 against the number in their last five games overall, and are winless at 0-5-1 at the betting window in their last six conference games. Two plays and 37 seconds later, Kaepernick connected with running back Carlos Hyde for a 19-yard scoring pass for a 7-0 San Francisco advantage. That’s 101 yards fewer than the Rams’ average, which was already the NFL’s worst.

An interception of Kaepernick by safety Cody Davis led to the Rams’ next score.

The Rams took a 14-7 lead on receiver Tavon Austin’s 30-yard run on a fly sweep, one play after Cody Davis intercepted a Kaepernick pass at the Rams 41-yard line and returned it 29 yards.

Hyde was injured early in the fourth quarter on a vicious hit to his knee from E.J. Gaines. The game kicks off at 1:25 p.m. PST on FOX. They are now fourth in rushing and Hyde has played a large role in that. While Kelly’s debut is a debacle, the Niners have a chance to stabilize against the only team they’ve beaten in their franchise’s past 18 games. After another interception from Goff, the Rams went on to lose.

From there the offense dried up until the fourth quarter. But when we look at both rosters right now the rosters are totally different.

Only one more game remains before the offseason and the answers to these questions. “We were trying to get him on the edge”.

The Rams had not scored a first-quarter touchdown in their previous three games, and had just three touchdowns in the first quarter since Goff replaced Case Keenum as starting quarterback. “Not making the big play we need to. We’d been practicing it all week”, Streater said.
