Host Colin Cowherd Harshly Criticizes 49ers: “With This Roster, They Have No Chance of Beating the Saints”

San Francisco, September 2025
Just before the upcoming matchup against the New Orleans Saints at Caesars Superdome, the San Francisco 49ers have become the center of controversy as three offensive stars—Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and Brandon Aiyuk—are sidelined by injuries, forcing Mac Jones to start for the first time in the red-and-gold. Instead of sympathy, renowned analyst Colin Cowherd unleashed scathing criticism directly aimed at the 49ers’ management.

On his show The Herd, Cowherd declared:
“This is the most fragile organization in the NFL. They’re too brittle, and when injuries hit, they collapse immediately. John Lynch and his team have whiffed on too many draft picks—Trey Lance was a bust, Jake Moody is a disaster, Javon Kinlaw hasn’t lived up to expectations. Even in free agency, they splashed cash on Javan Hargrove with no real return.”

Cowherd didn’t stop there, adding fuel to the fire:
“Look at the NFC: the Packers are youthful, the Rams are powerful, the Eagles are balanced on both sides of the ball. And the 49ers? They’re old, injury-prone, and lack depth. With this roster, I’m certain they have no chance of beating the Saints tomorrow, especially playing in the Superdome—one of the toughest venues in the NFL.”

Other analysts agree that this is a daunting challenge for Mac Jones. Despite his experience with the Patriots, Jones must lead a star-depleted offense under the immense pressure of the Superdome’s raucous atmosphere. “He’s not stepping into a perfect Ferrari,” one analyst remarked. “He’s been handed a car missing a wheel.”

While the Saints capitalize on their home-field advantage and a seasoned defense, the 49ers face a multitude of challenges. Cowherd’s criticisms only add to the pressure on San Francisco’s leadership. If a loss occurs tomorrow, it could be the clearest evidence yet of his claim: the 49ers have truly lost the identity that once made them formidable.

Entire Giants Fanbase Erupts Calling for Josh McDaniels to Come to MetLife After Loss to Patriots – But His Emotional Response Leaves Fans Stunned
Foxborough, Massachusetts – After the New England Patriots’ dominant 33-15 victory over the New York Giants at Gillette Stadium, football conversation exploded in a way no one saw coming. While the Patriots continued to solidify their status as the AFC’s top contender, the entire Giants fanbase turned its attention to one name on the opposite sideline: Josh McDaniels. The brilliance of Drake Maye and the New England offensive system sparked a wildfire at MetLife Stadium demanding the architect of that attack be brought to New York. On social media, the slogan “Bring McDaniels to MetLife” spread at lightning speed. They saw in him the figure who could resurrect a dying offense and redirect the career of a franchise desperately searching for its identity. With the Giants expected to make major changes in the offseason, McDaniels instantly became viewed as the ideal candidate — an offensive mind proven by every breakthrough Maye has displayed. But just hours after the recruitment wave peaked, the NFL community was left stunned by McDaniels’ decision. Instead of showing interest in the chance to lead one of the league’s most storied franchises, he gently but firmly shut down every overture from New York. McDaniels made it clear he is pouring his entire heart into the journey with the Patriots and has no desire to leave while the project he is building is still taking shape. In a statement that instantly set Patriots Nation ablaze, McDaniels shared: “I’m grateful for the interest, but I feel like I’m building something special here. Drake, Coach Vrabel, and this entire locker room — everything makes me believe New England still has many great chapters ahead. I want to stay and finish it.” Those words spread like wildfire, becoming a symbol of his commitment to the team. This decision not only reinforced Patriots fans’ faith but also sent a powerful message about the culture Vrabel is building. While many other teams are looking for head coaches as short-term fixes, McDaniels has chosen to stay with the long-term vision — where he sees his future and Drake Maye’s future as one. And with the Patriots soaring at 11-2, the NFL world may have just realized: in Foxborough, a new dynasty is taking shape.
