00:00So what's the deal, Mike, does Purdy have a back problem all of a sudden?

00:07What's going on out there?

00:10They've got lots of problems out there, right?

00:12I feel like every week now they're just stacking more ailments on the pile.

00:17What a shame.

00:18San Francisco 49ers.

00:19What a shame.

00:20I knew you were going to say that.

00:21What a shame.

00:22We already know about some of their skilled position players, but now their quarterback,

00:26Brock Purdy, day-to-day with back soreness.

00:30I'm not sure when he got that, because I thought he looked pretty good on Sunday.

00:34He sure wasn't the reason why they lost that game to the Rams.

00:37But back soreness for Purdy, and to keep this going, defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, one

00:42of their better interior defenders, partially torn tricep, he's done for the regular season.

00:49And in the, this doesn't sound very good either, department for Christian McCaffery, he's going

00:54to see a specialist in Germany.

00:58That's right, Germany.

00:59He's going to Europe to see a specialist for his Achilles tendonitis.

01:04Now again, what happened here, Scotty?

01:07He got this injury in training camp in early August.

01:11Everyone said he was fine.

01:13He was going to play the first game, magically an hour before the game, he was out and in

01:18play.

01:19And now he's flying to Germany to see a specialist for three weeks later.

01:24This sounds like a guy who we're not going to see a lot of this year.

01:27That's what it sounds like.

01:28I mean, originally, I thought it was his calf.

01:32And now it's like his Achilles, and he's going to Germany to get it fixed.

01:39I don't understand.

01:40It has to be worse than everybody thought it was originally.

01:43I never thought it was this bad.

01:46And I can't wait to see what happens.

01:48I don't understand who he's going to see.

01:51I don't know the whole deal.

01:52But it doesn't sound like he's playing football anytime soon with this problem.

01:56And you're losing a guy like Hargrave.

01:57Now your quarterback's going to tweak back.

02:01It's one thing after the next with this team.

02:03And injuries will kill any football team.

02:05I don't care how good you are.

02:07Everyone thinks they're automatic to go to the Super Bowl every year.

02:11And the reality is, you can't do it if you have a bunch of guys banged up.

02:15You got to stay relatively healthy to get through the playoffs.

02:21Sometimes teams go the furthest just because they have health, and they're not all banged

02:25up with injuries.

02:26They have too many early season injuries for my blood.

02:30It's a problem.

02:31Their star players are all dropping like flies.

02:34Yep.

02:35And they've gotten out to now a 1-2 start after a couple of losses on the road.

02:40Now they do go home this week.

02:43And they have the Patriots coming across country.

02:46So we know the deal with the Pats.

02:48They won the first week, lost it over time, and then got smashed by the Jets on Thursday

02:53night.

02:54They take the long trip to San Francisco.

02:55Now they've got a minus 10, and I'm going to give you some numbers.

02:59Big spreads.

03:00They've been good for the team's getting.

03:03Let's just put it that way, Scotty.

03:05Through the first three weeks of the season, 39 and a half is the total.

03:11Even with all these ailments, can they cover this 10 points against the Patriots on Sunday?

03:15Well, I mean, think of the Rams game, right?

03:18They literally were up, what, by 14 in the fourth quarter, and they lost.

03:26So they can't hold a lead.

03:28They're not playing well.

03:29But then they get the convenience of playing this team.

03:33They're awful.

03:34They showed their true side, I thought, on Sunday when they couldn't score.

03:38Everyone thought, you thought, a lot of people thought that they weren't going to win.

03:44That four and a half total was, you know, under for a lot of sharks.

03:47They didn't think they were going to win games at all.

03:50And that was the first time we saw them really look awful and not do anything in a game.

03:54So I think San Francisco's lucky that they're playing them.

03:58This is an easy game for them, and I think they'll still crush this team.

04:01I don't think the Patriots are good, and I think the Niners can get past them.

04:05They should have got past the Rams, but they blew it.

04:09I mean, they just let Stafford come back and steal that game.

04:12They had no business winning that game.

04:15And I think a lot of it is because of their injuries.

04:18They got so many guys banged up, and, you know, the Rams did too.

04:22But nobody made excuses.

04:23They just, you know, next man up.

04:25Everybody did their job, and they somehow pulled it off.

04:29That was a horrible loss for them.

04:30They have to win this game.

04:32I think they'll take it out on the Pats.
