What we learned today is that Trey Lance isn't good enough to overcome 12 penalties in a monsoon, at least yet. And I think essentially everyone already knew that coming in

#49ers WRs will be: * Deebo Samuel * Brandon Aiyuk * Jauan Jennings * Ray-Ray McCloud * Malik Turner #49ers RBs will be: * Elijah Mitchell * Jeff Wilson * Jordan Mason * Kyle Juszczyk (FB)

Remember that Brandon Aiyuk re-established rapport within the 49ers offense in Chicago last year. He scored that 2-point conversion but I trace it back to an off-schedule crosser he caught from Garoppolo

#49ers TE George Kittle, dealing with a groin injury and listed as questionable, is not likely to play today, source said. He didn't practice this week, and in a long season, pushing it early doesn't make sense.

Deebo Samuel on once the monsoon started in earnest: "The ball was heavy. It was hard for Trey to throw it. It was hard to catch it."

Nick Bosa: "It's not like they ran anything new in the second half. We just had penalties.... 15 yards for a team that can't move the ball is huge."

#Bears rookie DE Dominique Robinson said he picked up a tendency from Trent Williams on tape. Saw that he would kick his left foot twice for a pass play. He used it to his advantage.

Wilson took over for the injured Elijah Mitchell (knee) in the second half of Sunday's 19-10 loss to the Bears.

Wilson finished the contest with nine carries for 22 yards and caught both targets for eight yards. The severity of Mitchell's injury will be revealed after tomorrow's MRI, but the breakout star from 2021 was seen in a brace after the game, which is an ominous sign. It is peculiar that head coach Kyle Shanahan did not give any carries to fellow backup and preseason standout, Jordan Mason (zero touches). Also a curious move by the 49ers' front office to leave third-round pick Tyrion Davis-Price as a healthy scratch in a game with monsoon-like conditions. Whatever the reasons may be, Wilson is the obvious first add if Mitchell is forced to miss extended time. Davis-Price theoretically should have the most fantasy upside -- should Shanahan decide to remove him from his unexplained doghouse -- but with how the organization just treated their third-round pick from this year's draft, it's hard to say what Shanahan will do against the Seahawks next Sunday.

Had the San Francisco 49ers and Jimmy Garoppolo been unable to agree to a restructured contract this summer, the rival Los Angeles Rams were lurking as a possible destination for the veteran quarterback. nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

8 (!!) tackles for Talanoa Hufanga in the first half

Javon Kinlaw is up and walking slowly off the field. Definitely a good -- very good - sign for him and the 49ers.

What was Dre Greenlaw supposed to do on that slip-n-slide?

Kyle Shanahan is challenging a catch. It was a 4-yard gain. I question the worthiness of that play as one you'd want to challenge.

#SFvsCHI @DignityHealth injury update: LB Azeez Al-Shaair is being evaluated for a concussion

Ty Davis-Price a healthy scratch. Jordan Mason is active. Might be something. twitter.com/maiocconbcs/st…

Why the Bears didn't try to open it up sooner against a 49ers defense missing Jimmie Ward is open to discussion

What a luxury the 49ers have with Arik Armstead — absolutely premiere player who can just slide to DT after Kinlaw's exit

The 49ers defense got off the field quick in their first series of the season. They forced an incompletion on first down thanks to pressure from Javon Kinlaw. Then they chopped down Bears RB David Montgomery for a short gain. On third down Samson Ebukam took over and got around the edge to hit Bears QB Justin Fields for a sack. Ebukam had a big second half last year and got off to a hot start this season

Shanahan: Mason over Davis-Price and Malik Turner over Danny Gray were both special teams decisions

Bears defensive rookies are making plays. On second down, CB Kyler Gordon violently sets the edges on a sweep vs. FB Kyle Juszczyk. On third down, DE Dominque Robinson gets his first career sack. Safety Jaquan Brisker also had the fumble recovery earlier in the game.

Jauan Jennings told me this week he noticed Bears DBs were giving more cushion in coverage this season. He got a free release on that play and Lance found him for a 44-yard gain.

Starting for the 49ers (per warmups) S: Tashaun Gipson TE: Tyler Kroft

The 49ers might not think a deep threat is a necessity in a bad-weather game. They went with the special teams ace, Malik Turner, instead. twitter.com/Robbie_gr/stat…

Tarvarius Moore and George Odum were the gunners on those punt-coverage snaps.

Unnecessary roughness call for laying a finger on an NFL QB. Also, that's two missed tackles for Emmanuel Moseley on back-to-back plays.
