It’s hard to believe this is the first regular season game for the Silver and Black in the bay since the move to Vegas,

Now I’m not sure how much Santa Clara can qualify as being in the bay but what ever.

Today might be the day not to watch then... Of course, I'll be glued to the screen as soon as I get home this afternoon. Grandkid transportation day.

I did not know the Braves kept an Atlanta address I thought everything outside 285 was out of Atlanta. And again 10 minutes? Maybe at 4 AM in a porche
Subway gets you to Giants stadium in about 10 minutes. I agree tougher to drive to Braves in 10 minutes but that depends on where you start. But yea, while not really in Atlanta, the address is Atlanta.

I still maintain that the 9ers are not SF anymore. But that flies in the face of reality.

I'll defnitely watch them. Until it becomes an ugly unwinnable blowout probably.

The defense needs to play as well as they possibly can, be coached well, and get a lot of turnovers to keep us in the game. It can happen, I just don't see it. I'm also almost always wrong though, so there's that.

If it becomes an ugly unwinnable blowout, I’ll make sure to keep watching in hopes to maybe see Mendo play a bit

Good point. That's worth watching if I can stomach it that far.

Watching Nik Bonito pass rush reminds me of what elite EDGE play looks like
