Greg Olsen sounds like he's good at broadcasting, but he just kinda says a lot of stuff and hopes it sticks, and he talks so fast that his errors aren't as noticeable. Anyway, he'll be on MNF next year.

Human nature hit the 49ers today. They're 6-0 and have a huge lead in the division. Half the team is injured and there's a bye right after this game. The intensity they're showing today compared to the game in Seattle is vastly different.

Lots of talk about trades for a defensive lineman or wide receiver... the 49ers might want to use the trade deadline to get a cornerback who isn't Jack Jones.

The way Kyle called that first series shows that he has less than zero respect for the Falcons' defensive personnel. Didn't even think of throwing to anyone but McCaffrey and spent a while trying to get a rushing TD for his rookie.

Seems like the Seahawks thought they'd be able to intimidate the 49ers off the field today and are getting extremely frustrated about that not being the case.

Pretty clear Tom Brady either hasn't watched much 49ers tape or he doesn't care for Purdy's game. Said he's "playing on time and taking what the defense gives him," which is not what Purdy has been doing. He's been extending plays and making high degree-of-difficulty throws.

It's still baffling that there was an entire set of commercials consisting of Davante Adams having a Taco Bell in his house. He has the personality of a bean burrito without cheese. Maybe they thought that was what made it funny.

• Deebo’s kickoff return was absolutely massive • Kyle actually trusts his rookie RB • 49ers’ defense was nails on third/fourth down • Rams faded hard as the game progressed, might’ve read too much about how great they are

So much for the “businessmen” bragging on social media that after flying back and forth from LAX to Australia multiple times, they KNEW the Rams were making the smart choice to act like this was a trip to Vegas.

"Straight-up, it just sucks." Can't say I've watched a ton of the Giants postgame shows this season (for obv reasons) but this is the first time I've seen Sergio Romo actually speak his mind about this disaster of a team.

Watching Haaland is like watching a youth game where one kid is a foot taller than everyone else and the parents are openly questioning whether they're in the right age group.

It’s not just the wiped-away goals and lengthy VAR reviews, but the refs seem like they live for calling offside. Enjoying those moments a bit too much, like a hall monitor writing up a tardy slip when you enter class 3 seconds after the bell rings.

Rebecca: "Chaps, Alexi left us" Zlatan: "Who? Rebecca: "Alexi will be back, Alexi will be back with us very soon" Thierry: "Your plan worked, Rebecca" Rebecca: "Don't you bring me into this, no chance" Zlatan: "America, you're welcome" lmaooooooooooooooooo

You know what? It’s true, they aren’t good at baseball. I wasn’t aware of this until now.

The giants could bench/trade/get rid of every pitcher that decided to make a statement and I guarantee you won’t see much of a change in their stellar 40% win rate
