The 49ers face the four and eight bears this Sunday's.
00:02
Why is this game not a foreseeing, not a foregone conclusion that the 49ers will
00:07
win, especially with their recent injuries?
00:10
Right now that I can tell you is that Caleb Williams is actually turning on, but
00:14
earlier in the season, he seemed to be struggling,
00:16
didn't really have his legs up under him.
00:19
But if you've gone through the bears, they've played some of the toughest games.
00:25
They played some of the best teams in the in this some of the best teams in the
00:29
league and they've come up against some really short last second losses.
00:34
They lost 21.
00:35
I mean they beat the Texans 21 17 to the the Chiefs with the with the Titans.
00:43
They lost to the Texans and right now coming up with the commanders.
00:49
They lost in last.
00:51
They lost in a Hail Mary to the Washington commanders and
00:55
they're coming in with the number eight rated overall defense.
00:59
They have a really good secondary.
01:01
That's something that I could tell you that they do very well.
01:06
Why is this not a shoo-in coming in?
01:09
Is there should we be worried?
01:11
Should we be worried that the Bears could come in here and ruin our day?
01:15
Sorry.
01:16
Yeah, I don't I don't understand why anyone would expect the Niners to win this game.
01:19
I mean, I don't even know that they expect to win anymore.
01:22
That's the problem with this team.
01:23
Like McCaffrey's out Trent's out boasts is probably out.
01:27
They've given themselves every excuse everyone in the Bay Area is talking about
01:31
like, you know, why you got to go easy on him and why you got to give him grace and
01:36
it's been a season, you know, it's been so much out of their control like
01:41
there's no urgency for them to win anymore.
01:43
I mean Brock wants to win.
01:45
He has stuff to prove.
01:46
I just feel like this team is done.
01:49
They don't have Jordan Mason.
01:50
They're not I mean Isaac Arendo is going to start his first game at running back
01:54
ever in his life.
01:56
He didn't even start in college and it's like how long is this going to work?
02:00
I just don't see it.
02:01
I mean their defense has been absolutely awful without Nick Bosa just horrendous.
02:06
It's been horrendous without Nick Bosa and now they have a quarterback who gets
02:11
out of the pocket with ease like they can't keep Gino Smith in the pocket and
02:15
they're going to keep Caleb Williams in the pocket.
02:17
I this seems like an obvious game.
02:20
The Niners are going to lose.
02:21
I don't know.
02:22
Maybe I don't see for me.
02:25
I don't see it because of the defense right now.
02:27
It's the rate is the eighth ranked overall defense right now.
02:31
Their special teams isn't that bad either.
02:33
Caleb Williams is athletic man.
02:35
He's and one thing about him is that he's got a very unorthodox game.
02:39
So he's going to get out of the pocket.
02:40
He's going to prolong plays.
02:42
It's going to get things going with his legs and he likes to let the ball go down
02:46
in the field.
02:46
And one thing about them is that they specialize in scramble drill, man.
02:50
It's kind of like they have a good process of what they do offensively, but
02:55
backyard football is kind of what they do and things can get away from you,
02:58
especially when you're not necessarily playing connected on the back end.
03:02
Also, I just want to see what we can do with the pass rush and being able to get
03:07
him on the ground.
03:08
If you look at their points per game, they're averaging just a little lower
03:13
than us at 20 points per game with our 22.5.
03:17
But if you also look at just the efficiency of their average time of
03:20
possession, they're about even with us.
03:23
They average more plays a game with they average more plays per game than us at
03:27
64 over our 59.
03:30
They're rushing yards per play is more than us at 6.2.
03:34
I mean, this is a team that they play teams to the bitter end.
03:39
And one thing I will say they're a very young team.
03:42
They're much younger than us.
03:44
So this is a team that took Detroit 23 to 23 to 20.
03:48
I don't think that we can hold Detroit to 23 points.
03:51
Honestly, you know, this is also a team that the Packers that we just saw play.
03:57
They took the Packers.
03:57
They lost to the Packers by one point 20 to 19.
04:01
This is a team that they're going to play hard to the bitter end.
04:05
And I'll tell you this right now.
04:07
I haven't seen one Chicago Bears game that's been played this year where they
04:12
lacked effort.
04:12
They're going to play hard.
04:16
I'm gonna just take cats out the bag.
04:17
I think we're going to lose this one.
04:19
Honestly, I think the Bears are coming with a lot of energy.
04:22
They understand that we're kind of a wounded team and it's what the team's
04:26
doing the league man.
04:26
It's like once they realize that there's blood in the water, they're going to
04:29
attack.
04:30
It's just a way of the league.
04:32
Here's what's definitely going to happen.
04:34
The Niners D line is going to get pushed around.
04:36
No Givens, no Hargrave.
04:39
I mean, they're Leonard Floyd starts on a 4-3 defense.
04:43
I love how the Niners thought that was going to work.
04:46
He's a 3-4 outside linebacker and they're like, no, no, no, no, we're going
04:49
to put him in this wide nine and we're going to be able to stop the run.
04:51
No, you won't.
