Sigh :/
Wish I could say injury news shocked my anymore
Does Willis still have a bum toe?
Can Patrick Willis come out of retirement for the playoffs? Please pull a Phillip Rivers
What can you do but laugh at this point? Ridiculous
Are we really gonna get Warner back if we make it to the Divisional?
Barkley will put up 300 on this defense
Oh god…
Ah yeah LB4 come on down
Of course
What the fuck is with this team and injuries?
🔥everything is fine 🔥
So he’ll be out one game

Of course….
I’ll take the veteran leadership for the postseason.
Bethune was proving himself to be a solid backer, but I wish him the best in his recovery until next season.
Alright, im suiting up
On the bright side you won’t notice a dropoff, they’re all terrible and Bethune was particularly awful these last few weeks
At this point just put a life size cutout of fred warner out there

Chat are we cooked
If we start Kendricks and Wallows as LBs in the playoffs we are cooked. Lynch needs to go out and sign guys on other teams’ practice squads or other FAs asap. Kendricks and Wallows are not even NFL tier anymore.
They still won’t play Nick Martin
I wonder if it’s something the training staff/coaches do different to how we are in this situation.
It’s almost like we’re doing something wrong in training and practices like all the former players are saying…
However, we do seem to be perennial contenders, so there’s that
Honestly, I’m numb to this kind of news these days. Sucks.
Saleh looks like he could play
Please god just let an AFC team win, if either the Hawks Or Rams win it at Levis I might just stop watching football.
To the fan sitting in section 208, row 14, seat 7, please bring a set of shoulder pads to the field, you’ve been called up to the active roster.
Once again. The rita curse strikes
At this rate you gonna have Mac Jones play linebacker soon.
Eagles are going to run it 40+ times. Hurts probably won’t throw it more than 10 times.
What’s done is done but the team does need to evaluate their physical practices and frequency. The Niners and the Lions are some of the teams known for physical practices. Their have a history of injuries. We have tried changing the medical team. I don’t know what they are doing so one can only speculate. Add more dynamic stretching/yoga to player routines. You can’t go wrong with more muscle flexibility. Will not stop everything but you can’t go about things the same way.
At this point, lets just call a random fan on to the field every play to play lb. Let’s at least make things interesting
Maybe Pat Willis would actually give consideration to a return for the playoffs…
Eric Kendricks and Garrett Wallow legacy game against Philly let’s go! (fade me)

New year, same injury bug.
If Fred’s actually serious about returning for the divisional round, we just need to survive / get lucky for a single week…

Philly is going to demolish us.
We should be allowed a bigger roster.
