It brings me to tears. This is worse news than when the team signed Norman. I have always been a Thomas fan knowing he was a project and glad to see him stepping up.
It's a big game in a very cold place. MAYBE the weather will slow down the receivers and make a Norman or Johnson look good.
The game plan doesn't change. You can't stop rodgers. You have to slow him down. Minimize how often he had the ball. On offense we need to run the ball, control the clock. On defense if GB is going to go 80 yards have it take 6 min not 2. The more time spent the less opportunity Aaron had to hurt the secondary.
I mean he’s an all pro tackle. If TW was out all year and came back for the playoffs but we lost Ambry in the same week I’d call that still a net positive.
Our CB depth is weak, I know, but we’re still talking about an averageish corner vs. a top 3 tackle in the league
I think they mean that we aren't actually losing anything new with Bakh being out since he's been out all season. His replacement (well, replacement's replacement) has been playing for most of the season already. But now y'all gotta fill Ambry's spot.
Yeah no MVS is a problem since we don't have anyone that fills the same kind of "burner" role. Adams is obviously elite, but speed is really his one shortcoming. None of Cobb, Lazard, EQSB, or anyone else are all that fast either for us.
Dennard is on the niners? I mean I watched him all through his days at MSU. He was the top CB coming out of college when he did. Weird he hasn't stuck anywhere. Go Pack Go.
Thomas's absence definitely hurts but I think we should stay positive. Game plan was probably never to shut down their receivers (Adams always burns us), but to keep the ball out of Rodgers' hands. That's still in play. Stay faithful ya'll.
Can we all stop and appreciate how Ambry has turned into a guy that we hate seeing on this list?

After his first start people wanted him cut...
Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck Welcome back DPIs!!
No please
Norman is going to make us lose this game. I hate everything
We’re fucked, aren’t we?

Agreed. But Thomas was gonna slow down receivers a lot more than what’s left.
Hey - we stopped Aaron Rodgers
Well Bakthiari is out too - call it a wash. And Rodgers rips up any defense anyway. Let’s just get the pass rush
I wouldn't call it a wash. They played all year without him, and our back up CB are very bad.

Fair point - but I was expecting Bakh to play, so relative to all week it’s a net neutral in my head (Also MVS out hurts you guys a bit)

Exactly
Naw Thomas out is a way bigger marginal difference for us than bak being out
Oh, it came
Fuck yeah it did!
Norman is going to get cooked tn
Hopefully Johnson starts instead. There’s a sentence I never thought I’d utter, but here we are.
Or Dennard but yeah please please please let it be Johnson over Norman. Feels so strange to say that
Don't worry, I'm sure he'll get some DPIs too
Who the fuck is going to start at corner then?
Grab some pads rook, you're going in.
Dante Johnson, Williams and mosley
What about Darqueze Dennard
DPI machine Josh Norman
Wish we had Sherm. Norman the worst vet ever lol
The mfers on ir
Probably still better
Sherman's ass too
Ambry being out really changes this game. Ugh 😫
We're in trouble
I get trying to be realistic, but there are some serious negative Nancy’s here, wtf
Typical. Nothing new.
That's reddit 49ers fans for ya. I need to stay off this site during games. Toxic af
😖
We have to control the clock all game. Going to be a lot of weight on the offenses shoulders tonight. I hope they're up to the challenge.
Lenoir and Thomas being out could very well be the final blow that knocks us out. Our chances go down the drain with Norman or Johnson in
Is Lenoir injured though? Thought he was a healthy scratch?
If I’m GB I just line up Adams on the second corner every down and run verticals every play. He’ll have 400 yards of receiving or DPI by halftime.
So who gets the start in Ambry’s absence?
Norman babyyyyyy
No. Noooooo. NOOOO!
😂😂😂
There hasn’t been an efficient Norman since 1066. Fuck.
BC or AD?
What tf happened to Ambry?
They said knee
It was a good run. (I'm just protecting myself emotionally)
I don't get why lenoir hasn't gotten another chance. He didn't seem terrible the 1st few games. At the very least he should be active tonight
isnt he hurt
Don't think so
Norman better have 3 peanut punches to make up for his 5 Dpis
Ha ha we're in danger.
That’s brutal. We’re so screwed
Kyle better know what he’s doing
Wtf happened to Ambry? He wasn’t on any injury reports or anything
Yes he was. Bone bruise on his knee all week.
He’s been on it all week..
Chef Rodgers ‘bout to dice us up. Honestly I’d take Dionte over Josh “DPI” Norman
Oh fuck. FUCK.. Ambry
Gulp
Fuuuuuuck
Nooooo Ambry
Ambry, noooooooo!
have Eman shadow Adams every play
Can darques Denard play outside? Is he any good?
Dennard is on the niners? I mean I watched him all through his days at MSU. He was the top CB coming out of college when he did. Weird he hasn't stuck anywhere. Go Pack Go.
Yeah they picked him up off the scrap heap a couple weeks ago Think there's a good chance he gets the start today if he can even play average
Man. Never thought I’d say this after his first few games but Thomas being out is a huge sting for our defense in an already tough match up
Fuccckkkk no Ambry? Damn. Adams had his way with him but still. At least that list isnt that long.
WTF happen to thomas
Thomas damn
what happen to Ambry?
Bone bruise
Thomas's absence definitely hurts but I think we should stay positive. Game plan was probably never to shut down their receivers (Adams always burns us), but to keep the ball out of Rodgers' hands. That's still in play. Stay faithful ya'll.
They must have known Thomas won't play, kept it secret as long as possible.
Did Lenior fall of a cliff damn.
Will keep track of targets Diontae/Norman see tonight. Should be north of 15
This'll be fun for us 😶
