At 1-6 San Francisco 49ers Hoodie , the 49ers enter the softer part of their schedule. They play the Arizona Cardinals, the Oakland Raiders, and the New York Giants in the next 3 weeks. All 4 teams have one win each and are positioned to be drafting early in next year’s draft. This was not a position the 49ers thought they would be in when the season started. The high hopes quickly faded after key players went down to injury and the team started playing poorly. There have been a few issues with the team’s play so far this season, but the most eye-opening is the offense giving the ball away. They have 18 turnovers on the season, 10 interceptions and 8 fumbles. C.J. Beathard has 7 interceptions and 5 fumbles in the 4 games he’s played. That is not acceptable as the team’s quarterback. He has to protect the football much better. The team is currently ranked last in turnover differential at -15. The offense turns the ball over and the defense has been unable to force their own turnovers. Another issue is the regression of some of the young players. Reuben Foster, Ahkello Witherspoon, and Adrian Colbert are having rough 2nd seasons. All 3 were supposed to be a big part of this team’s future. They showed flashes of good play last season Cheap Customized San Francisco 49ers Jerseys , but that has not been the case this season. Richard Sherman’s arrival forced quarterbacks to throw Witherspoon’s way and he has been to unable to replicate his play from last season. They are not the only ones not playing well, but they have taken the biggest steps back in their development and that is concerning moving forward. 49ers linksTheme of the season | Another player down (Cohn)That was always the goal of the season | Still focusing on the long-term (Chan)Mailbag questions (Inman)Still plenty of work to get done (Wagoner)The secondary has been terrible other than Richard Sherman | Worst in league on pass coverage (PFF)Draft positions should be decided in these games | Soft part of the schedule coming up (Madson)They are being exposed this season | Sophomore slumps (Chan)1-6 start (Fann)Welcome back Aaron | Aaron Burbridge back on the practice squad (49ers staff)Former 49ers speak to the current squad (Maiocco)Don’t think a trade will happen | Potential trades?

Or the day Pat is reminded he saved $15 by not buying a card/chocolates for anyone. You may think this makes me depressed, but the truth is, anything but. Social media is awesome today because I get pictures of babies with lipstick kisses on the face and feet and gifs of Squall and Rinoa from Final Fantasy VIIIstating their love for each other. Valentine’s Day is a bit lost on me now, but when I was under the age of 12 Nick Mullens Jersey , it was a fun holiday, kind of a mini-Halloween where everyone gave us cards and candy. Any of you who watch The Simpsons may remember the Ralph Wiggum episode where everyone gets cards but him. Well the scenery was pretty accurate,except my classes in 1st-5th grade were required to have Valentines for EVERYBODY. And rightly so—you spent the better half of a week each year making the bloody box that people would drop these cards in, you better get something for that work.So you bought these cut-out cards by the dozen from your local store, wrote a name down, attached a smarty, and called it good. Most of these cards were pop culture in nature Nick Mullens 49ers Jersey , having icons like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Barbie, and/or the Power Rangers in some pose while lame lines like “Hot dog!” and “If I wasn’t at an age where I thought the opposite sex had cooties, I’d go out with you” are printed above them. I know a lot of you couldn’t care less about the whole ordeal. I have read that some of you think it’s a marketing ploy by the card companies, that’s fine. Work with me here for a minute: The San Francisco 49ers tweeted out their own ‘cards’ similar to the flat cardboard ones I just mentioned and they are definitely chuckle worthy. Especially for the cheesiness that Valentine’s Day brings. Me? I’d save these for trolling purposes and make sure to send them to people who like an opposing team in 2019. If Jimmy Garoppolo carves the Seahawks, I could totally send the Jimmy G card to make them feel better. I’m sure that will go over quite well.
