I used to love to watch Frank Run, and to see which 52, or 53 actually made that tackle, and watching Eric Reid has been fun, but in all honesty, I watch the 49ers now just to hope they lose, and I am very much enjoying the demise of Kaepernick. And not against him honestly. More against Jim. And honestly, more to the point that they are turning the offense into something I don't like. I prefer the more run oriented offense.

I find it funny that the defense is said to be worse this year. Why is that? Is it because that with Alex Smith as the qb, much like he is doing for the Chiefs that they controlled the time of possession, and kept the defense off the field? Two weeks in a row now that the defense played really well until the 4th quarter, and then they were so tired, and hurt, (Patrick) that they just couldn't be asked to stop anymore.

Shrugs. Reality has set in.
