2026 NFL Week 1

[Warhawk_46]

McCaffery looks as good as ever…Purdy has some wheels!

Purdy is a great athlete. 49ers developing some good rhythm. Backed up on 2nd down from the six inch line and now down to the 30 - heckuva drive so far!

Doluc continues to be all over the field for the Rams. He and Landman are a good duo. Hope to see Fiske make a play or two.

Niners dominated and made the Rams put their subs in at the end.

While it would have been nice for McCaffrey to get a few more attempts and cross 100, he played great.

McCaffrey looked explosive, the lack of carries was disappointing but I can see it being just a strategy to keep him fresh till they really need to lean on him. 49ers were pulling away all game, no reason to run him into the ground week one.

Yes he will probably be a strong handcuff all year for CMAC to save his legs for a playoff run. It could be a similar situation to Dunn and Alstott in Tampa but that was much less free flowing as Alstott was used heavily late as a closer type running back.

Don’t know if it makes sense for CFers to root for Rush to play well for Atlanta or for him to falter and give Strand a shot.

I think Cooper Rush is what he is, for better or worse. A stopgap. So I'll be rooting for the "White friendly" Steeler to walk all over the Falcons and give playing time opportunities to all of their White reserve players. If that gets Strand into the game too, then so be it.

Rush is what he is, a solid back up QB. The Falcons brought him in to be a camp arm due to injury issues with their two first round QBs that can’t stay healthy and frankly in the case of Penix is a bust.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Strand play but perhaps the Falcons have a plan to develop him. If the game gets out of hand it wouldn’t be bad to see Strand get some game action.
