Let’s go Niners!

I usually don’t watch preseason games, but just wanted to pop in here to let you all know I’ll be around in the game threads during regular season!

Let’s goooooooooo!

I know a lot people don’t care about pre-season games but I personally really enjoy them. Chance for 2nd string players to show their stuff. Try out plays.

I had chatgpt summarize this article just for kicks https://www.ninersnation.com/2023/8/12/23829498/trey-lance-sam-darnold-49ers-raiders-preseason-quarterback-start

The San Francisco 49ers have decided that Trey Lance will start their preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders, while Sam Darnold will play most of the second half. Head coach Kyle Shanahan mentioned that this plan might change, but for now, they intend to give Trey Lance more time in the first half and Sam Darnold in the second. Shanahan usually avoids playing starters in Week 1 of preseason, as they had productive joint practices with the Raiders. The focus is on evaluating the performance of second-string players and minimizing the risk of injuries to starters. Despite the limited game time, fans are excited to see the team back in action, especially watching the young quarterbacks in extended gameplay. However, it’s important to note that preseason strategies are often basic, so results should be taken with caution.

Was hoping to see Lance make some plays, is the 2nd strength offense just not protecting him? No first downs in 3 or 4 drives at this point I believe.

Edit: sweet! Very nice first down and then a lucky ass interception turned TD 😂

Missed the first 8 minutes messing around with streams. I hate the NFL when it comes to trying to watch games. They make it impossible unless you pay them $30 a month.
