49ers going almost 30 years between 4-0 stats also seems impossible to be true

Yeah throw the graphic up there with Montana and Rice to compare this bunch to. Sheesh

They are playing much better this year, though.

Can ESPN get a commentator who is actually watching the game to do Monday Night Football. Hell, bring in the College crew to let them call the game. How the hell can Booger be so complimentary of Baker yet say Jimmy was inconsistent. I mean what game is he watching.

People forget this is still basically "spring training" for Jimmy. He's still getting his timing back. There's stuff you can nitpick each game, but he hasn't made the obvious bad throw the past 2 games that he did in the first 2.

Richard Sherman annoyed at Baker Mayfield’s handshake snub

Richard Sherman was annoyed with Baker Mayfield before the game even started.

“What’s amazing, and annoying, was him not shaking hands at the beginning,” Sherman told Mike Silver of NFL.com. “That’s some college s—. It’s ridiculous. We’re all trying to get psyched up, but shaking hands with your opponent — that’s NFL etiquette. And when you pull bush league stuff, that’s disrespectful to the game. And believe me, that’s gonna get us fired up.”

Apparently it did, as Sherman picked off Mayfield two minutes into the game. Sherman wasn’t the only one to take a shot at Mayfield on a miserable night, as Nick Bosa clowned his college-era flag-waving celebration.

Sherman said it was particularly offensive for a young player to not participate in the perfunctory ritual.

“Respect the game,” Sherman said. “You can have rivals, but pay your respect in that moment — especially when you’re young. He hasn’t earned anything in this league. How many games has he won? He’s acting like he was the MVP last year. If [Patrick] Mahomes did that, it would be one thing. But he would never do that, because he has too much respect for the game.

“And when you see a guy who doesn’t? You humble him every chance you get. Because eventually, he will have respect for the league — or he’ll be out of it.”

Of all the things to criticize Baker for, this might be the dumbest yet.
