I always look forward to baldy on 957 the game, he is the best NFL analyst. The morning roast rocks . As a life long niner fan, it’s been a hell of a ride this year . Let’s get that 6 . Go Niners !!

[@maxmcgloin]

Clearly, we cannot stop the run with the wide 9. When we went back to the 5-2 against Jacksonville we had our best defensive game of the season and did it against a good offence with a good quarterback.

[@MrJackGiacomo]

I was surprised that cmc had a legacy connection to the Niners his pops played for the Niners incredible to see things come full circle .

[@uglytuco3829]

Not only did he play for them, he was on the last Super Bowl winning squad.

[@byronsmith3152]

@@uglytuco3829 He was a Huge 3rd down target for them. Some of the hits the dude received while holding onto the ball was insane.

[@uglytuco3829]

Big fan of Brian Baldinger, love the show 95.7 The Game. Super excited as a 49er fan because we punched our ticket to the big show on earth and I believe with the players we have now, Brock Purdy the Cold blooded Assasin can definitely dethrone the Great Pat Mahomes & the Chiefs.

[@peterdroubay4652]

Brian is a very good analyst; best on this I've heard; especially on the long Aiyuk pass; I also thought he was interfered with and was held up; the pass was perfect to where he would have been if he had not been interfered with. I didn't know a flag for interference was thrown on that play. It was not an overthrown ball. Yes some divine help was given and I thank the Lord for it!

[@juliusguccione2806]

Baldy knows football, but a better comp for Purdy's running is Montana and not Young; Montana was head and shoulders better than Young overall, but Young was an exceptional runner. I remember Madden pointing out how unbelievably fast Young was and he easily could have started as an RB in the NFL; neither Purdy or Montana could play RB

[@michaeldonovan4793]

Agreed..Much more joe than steve

[@jamesalestra5935]

Idk man purdy has some wheels on him with those big legs

[@travelertrome8449]

Brock didn't channel inner Steve Young. Steve was 1-4 in NFC Championship games. He channeled a young 1984 Joe Montana. People forget how mobile Joe was before his 1986 back surgery. He ran for 59 yards in SBXIX!!

[@anthonyblakely399]

🎉🎉🎉Brock Purdy is channeling Joe Montana 🎉🎉🎉🎉And that Championship game had the dynamics of Joe Montana beating The Cowboys to go to the SuperBowl and win The SuperBowl!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@antD9]

But the Chiefs are definitely not that weak Chargers team far as I'm concerned. That team was outclassed and manhandled by the 94-95 Niners!

[@btspyglass4077]

To make a come back like that Everything has to go in your favor Reminded me of 28-3 in every way Do everything right the othere team everything wrong Even a miracle catch that could have been an INT

[@Hamgt83]

everyone assuming its a certainty badgley makes the field goal

[@BBQ-n-Pigskin]

Exactly right. Sure it makes sense to match points and go up 17. However, Bonta Hill had just established that Bagley was 45% from 48+ yards in his career and that he had only kicked 6 field goals all year and half of those in a dome. Furthermore Lions had been 75% on 4th and 3 conversions and 2 for 2 in the playoffs. Love Baldy but this take the "guaranteed points" is a lazy analysis.

[@ertrstytry]

wilk's defense has been disappointing all season

[@cogicmj]

Baldy knows football 🏈 and knows the operation of football 🏈.

[@josevelazquez419]

Get Baldy some Airpods lol

[@MrJackGiacomo]

Tom Brady was to replace Purdy but based on his comments about purdy which were very nice and complimentary , Brady puts up a backstory on why he backed off , I think he saw himself in purdy and decided against squelching Purdy now Brady never liked Jimmy G and I knew once he bought a share of the raiders team that jimmy G was finished LoL and he was the reason why Brady wasn't picked up by the Niners early on long ago was because jimmy G was there making it awkward so yeah Brady never liked Jimmy

[@rickb9585]

Chase Young has been a complete disappointment since he joined the 9ers!

[@braydeny]

To me it was the chasing defense, they were banging into each other.

[@curtthechameleon]

Baldy, that get your blood going? Bet you loved that one.

[@Ron-fq2sn]

Brockstar will shine in the Super Bowl 👍🏽🍺😂

[@generalwizdom2355]

Im tellin you RIGHT NOW…. We need to do something to help Ambry Thomas. Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes will go after him early and often. Also need my defense to remember those EDGES in the run game. They will try to exploit that percieved weakness in our run defense. Expect Pacheco, Hardman and others to attempt to exploit those edges

[@michaeldonovan4793]

Wilks ain't up to the task for this one. To keep mahomes off balance, we need to rotate logan ryan with thomas and lenoir with oliver. Mask our weaknesses or get killed. On the D line, neither chase young or gregory is fast or low enough to set a decent edge. Rotate in beal jr. and givens more often. Unfortunately Wilks and kyle aren't gutsy enough to do it and can't make adjustments on the fly. Still, we hope. Go Niners!

[@stevendong809]

Ambry Thomas is a liability! Niners need to draft DB’s and offense lineman. Wilks game plan sucks! Need DB’s to play up near the line.

[@cdcrudup31]

These guys tell you they have no problem going for it on 4th down but don't tell you why other than, "to be aggressive." In a typical half you have 5 possessions in which the team behind has to be perfect to put the game out of reach if you score at least 2 fg or have mammoth TOP.. besides that coach kneecap didn't go for for it B4 halftime... So I'm not sure he was very decisive on a few game mgt issues

[@duckmcgee8979]

He had a couple of missed throws?! Every QB did! So did Mahones

[@LorneJamesB]

Is there any OLine help coming available in free agency this year? We need help there, Brock is getting crushed

[@anthonykenner6760]

Everyone knows lady bugs bring good luck. But he just kept his eyes on the ball

[@CWHansen81]

Keanu Neal. That's the name you're looking for Bonta.

[@michaeldonovan4793]

Baldinger's the best analyst hands down...Unfortunately, spagnola is the best DC by far..A true GOAT coordinator..I don't see kyle or wilks or brock's guy jesus or god himself figuring out what he's gonna do to my niners..He's that good...His players would take a bullet for him..Meanwhile, the way we're playing defense, we'll be lucky it's not a blowout by halftime..I mean like montana over the broncos 55-10 kind of blockout..Our D line has regressed big time since ferrell went down, our back end since we lost huf, and our O line's been bad all year..Niners have to play by far their best game all year for us to have a chance..Gonna take a miracle but Go Niners!

[@senderillasoo4926]

Defense needs to stepped up esp the front 4 and linebacker

[@vinrusso821]

Yeah, Deebo is great WITH the ball. Without the ball he is lazy.

[@chrisedwards2539]

Deebo is special. That's for sure

[@MrJackGiacomo]

I bet Steve Young figured it out and half time he whispers to purdy to run baby run wouldn't be surprised their pretty close both are from arizona purdy would listen to him .

[@anthonyblakely399]

That wasn't no classic Steve Young....I watched and experienced Steve Young running 🏃 back in the day....Steve Young use to run Straight on the outside or through the middle without cuts and fake-outs. These runs by Purdy had running 🏃 back moves with cuts and fake outs....like he did in College at Iowa. I watched Brock play other teams in College where he did these moves. These guys don't know what tha f*ck talking about.

[@jeremycummings6702]

The NINERS didnt steal it. They went out after halftime and TOOK IT!!!!!!!

[@patrickmalone4443]

Fluke to Aiyuk

[@NeillSackett]

Come on guys, I turn onto hear about how good the 49ers are not how good the opposition is, put some confidence on

[@AllusAmericanosNeed2wakeUP]

Is Clelin Ferrell gonna play? Young is trash

[@CWHansen81]

He's on I.R.

[@leodejanero4724]

I think you guys are overthinking everything a little too much they had a bad game. They had a bad game before that you know their safety has been out there’s nobody gonna replace the all pro safety that we have. I’m not worried about nothing and neither should y’all you’re overreacting.
