Is Martin available? Thought he signed with a team. If Danny is gonna be out for like 2 months, I might be inclined to IR him if Martin can come in.

He was released by the 49ers some time in November. Didn't see him signing anywhere..
 
OK just spit-ballin' here so don't kill me.

I think Keshawn Martin is on the 49ers roster.

If Amendola is out for a long time does anyone think Dobson might be worth giving another shot? He is on Detroit's practice squad.

He knows the system, and also knows he is at the end of the roster and needs to produce or he is gone.
 
Overall, the rams are pretty bad. The D isn't amazing, but 9th pass y/gm 20th rush y/gm and 16th points/gm is middle of the pack. I'd say we ended up a td short of normal expectations for the offense. I'm going to make an excuse and say it's a 1 game adjustment period for our O.

OTOH the rams offense is completely inept and our D did what should be expected of them.
1/12 on 3rd down less than 100 total yards and 3 points (on a 28 yard drive)before a long pass when the game was out of reach isn't "what's expected"
 
Come on. How many good NFL QBs have we faced this year?

You are going to get the same answer every time.

I do not need to defend a defense that after 12 games is #2 in points allowed and just made a ****ty offense look completely putrid.

If you think they suck go for it.

Does the scoreboard get adjusted by how good you think the QB is?

Our points allowed per game gets adjusted if we're facing guys like Brees Ryan Carr Manning instead of Fitzpatrick Goff Kaepernick and Kessler.

We saw what happened with Wilson. Big test next week against flacco. If the D passes the test I will become a believer in this D.

I think they are untested. I think the D has faced only one good NFL QB out of those 12 games and he tore ne apart. Flacco is a good playoff QB, this is a test next week. If we shut down flacco and win the game I will be very complimentary of our D.

I know the 2016 patriots can beat the bad and average teams. Can they beat the very good teams? Time to find out

I've been a big proponent of the defense. I'd say, as statistically the 2nd best defense in the league, that's pretty close to what I expected.

Edit: In fact, I predicted that we allow 6 points in the predict the score contest. So, ya, pretty much textbook definition of "what's expected."

No you won't. You'll find something to whine about.

No it doesn't. Points allowed are a fact. What might happen in a differebt game that hasn't been played against a different team is a guess.

I put more weight on 9 good games and 2 decent ones than one bad one.
