    Mack gave up the sack that cost them the field goal that would have sealed the game.

    Too bad, great effort playing on broken leg.

    But fuck guys that leave the Browns.

      Interesting call on NFL Radio this morning ... Redskin fan said that Shanny did the same thing when he was in Washington and he kept passing after Washington got up 14-0 on Seattle in the playoffs even though they got the lead by running the ball, and they lost. Seems we lost a game to the Colts that way too when he was OC. But that's when Gordon came back and Hoyer was a mess.

          Well obviously I'm not Zombo, but here goes....

          The Browns fan base is so beat up from losing, we don't know who to trust. We don't know if we can trust Hue/DePodesta/Sashi, and have serious reservations about Haslam.

          Look at it this way, there's nowhere to go but up. They gutted the team for a reason, and only time will tell if that was correct. There are no more high-priced FA on the team (presently).5 draft picks in the first 65. They signed Collins already, and hired a great D coordinator in Greg Williams. Orchard & desmond Bryant should come back next year, healthy. It's not all doom and gloom like some think.

          We've waited a long time, yes indeed. 38-106 since 2008. I do think it is turning around, now.

            Let's face it.....here in Cleveland, when Shanny had no QB and trouble at other offensive positions, he did just about fuck all for the Browns offense. Fair to say.

            But, in Atlanta, he had Matt Ryan...an MVP year. He had Freeman and Coleman....outstanding versatile backs. He had Julio Jones, one of the best in the league.

            In San Fran, he is going to have what? Squadoosh? Garropolo? Draft a QB with #2?

            I don't things will go well immediately for them there.

            If they get 3-4 wins...call that lucky.

                  the trust factor is definetly an issue....i liked the idea of hue until he thought he could resurrect a washed up qb in rg3...so as of now i don't like him...that was a stupid move....rg is skating on very very thin ice with his injury career...honestly, i don't see him in the nfl in the not to distant future...

                      I think it started this year. A concerted effort to grab as many draft picks and cap space as possible and "go for it".

                      Hold on to your seat the next couple of years are going to be interesting.

                        Fucking loser franchise. April 27th? The shit turns around? What the fuck has happened that is going to magically transform this shit team? Oh wait, I know, we have Joe Thomas.

                        We should avoid terrible players like Brady, right?

                          The plan is for new #49ers coach Kyle Shanahan to have control of the 53-man roster, while GM John Lynch has control of other facets.

                          What other "facets" could they be talking about? Coffee fetcher? Doughnut procurement?

                            The 49ers are screwed, Ian Rapaport tweeted. . .

                            The plan is for new #49ers coach Kyle Shanahan to have control of the 53-man roster, while GM John Lynch has control of other facets.

                            What other "facets" could they be talking about? Coffee fetcher? Doughnut procurement?

                              just my opinion, but when Shanny was brought back to to SF a week before the SB & before John Lynch was announced. I think the plan was that Shanny would like Atlanta's Asst.GM Scott Pioli to come with him as GM? Scott got KC & now Atl. going with drafted talent. Well, John Lynch was announced the next day after Shanny met with 49'ers owners..

                                      Start with what does "control of the 53" mean? Whole lotta range of options that can be read into that phrase.

                                      Everything from:

                                      • the minimal control of who the of the 53 is active, starts, etc.;
                                      • to having control of the above plus all the cuts from the start of TC;
                                      • to running the draft, FA process to stock a TC with 80+ players, AKA doing it all.

                                      Yet word was that SF wanted to secure their HC first and he could then pick his GM...

                                      Not sure the timing of Shanny the Younger's 2nd visit and Lynch's hire preclude that.

                                        In addition to what tour said there's also running scouting, handling contracts, waiver wiring, practise squad. It's not completely far fetched, it happens in other sports and ensures the head coach doesn't get lumped with guys he didn't want - like Johnny Manziel. I'm pretty sure that's why Kylie insisted on that. You get stuck with a first round QB you don't want, your job is over before it's begun there.

                                          While "control of the 53 man roster" is rather vague, I'm just surprised that the 49ers FO is allowing it to happen with a newbie HC.

                                          Considering how the Chip Kelly experiment ended up, one would think that the idea would go over like a fart in a phone booth.
