We may have hit peak NFL passing a couple of years ago, and now power running is getting a resurgence.

Not so in Santa Clara. Hyde 25 yards on 16 carries. Dreamboat QB 381 yards. Adds up to seven scores on eight drives and a win over an eight win team.

That's going to be a very interesting team next year. On the one hand, Garoppolo is only averaging 22 ppg as opposed to 17 ppg prior to his starting. On the other hand, the Niners have gone from 25 mins time of possession to 36 minutes time of possession. And next year, they should have around the seventh to the 10th pick of every round (currently, they're in fifth) and about $75 million in cap room (they have $118 million in 2018 cap room now, but will need to sign draft picks among other things). After Garoppolo's 3-0 start, their attitude is sky high. They have Jacksonville next. Jacksonville has the best defense in the league. If they score more than 20 against them and win...well, the Niners will sell a lot of 2018 season tickets.

And the people on the Eastside will again abandon their seats before halftime in September and October.

Roughly 2,000 years ago, the Romans erected a canvas structure to provide protection from the sun at the Colosseum for the patrons sitting in the upper level. Meanwhile, Niner fans continue to roast in the east side upper deck seats.
What is wrong with this picture?Â

Well, the Romans *were* pretty building stuff. Still haven't figured out how to duplicate their concrete IIRC.

Well the last thing you want is to have the sun in your eyes while a lion is mauling a Christian.......

Yeah, but when the Niners are getting mauled... - Redrum - 12-19-2017
...not being able to see it is a blessing of sorts.

Back in the day when I was shooting Giant's commercials Horace Stoneham's only dictum was, "Don't show any empty seats."Â This was at a time when you didn't have CG and all effects on film were called opticals and were beyond the budget of a team drawing 2500 people on a Candlestick afternoon. I think of him often when I shoot a ball follow on a kickoff panning and tilting against a background of orange seats.
How did the idiots who built Levi's not understand that the sun sets in the West?
