Rams Offense OutShine The 49ers

Santa Clara, CA – It came down to one play that was almost executed perfectly. Following a perfect onside kick recovery, Trent Taylor was called for pass inference. That penalty was crucial, losing yards and failing to convert on third down proved costly.

“We had penalties and turnovers,” said Carlos Hyde. “We were pretty much shooting ourselves in the foot. We have to eliminate that part. We started showcasing that at the end of the game. If we could have just come out like that, it could have been a different outcome for us.”

The Los Angeles Rams 41-39 victory over the 49ers felt like a playoff game to say the least. San Francisco’s comeback attempt was close, but the performance of Jared Goff was pretty spectacular. He probably played the best game of his career.

He went 22-of-28 for 292 yards with three touchdowns. Brian Hoyer became more aggressive in the second half going 23-of-37 for 332 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. The Rams scored three touchdowns in the second half while the 49ers had four.

An impressive finish was over shadowed by a bad penalty. Hyde who left the game in the first quarter with a hip injury dominated in the second half. Hyde’s 1-yard touchdown cut the lead down to two points. After a failed two-point conversion, the 49ers were hoping for a miracle and they got it.

“I don’t think the defense was set up the way we wanted them to be,” Taylor said. “They kind of reacted late to our play. It just didn’t work out the way we wanted to.”

Robbie Gould’s onside kick was recovered by Raheem Mostert, San Francisco had a chance to win the game. But a pass inference call on Taylor pushed them back, Hoyer then threw an incomplete pass followed by getting sacked. LA took over and survived the win.

It was unbelievable football for a Thursday night. The Rams recorded their second win while the 49ers are still winless. The effort was the best we’ve seen but it wasn’t enough to end their losing streak. Goff and his offense out played and out hustled San Francisco throughout the game, especially in the first half.

Hoyer’s pass was intercepted on opening drive by N. Robey-Coleman. That setup Todd Curley’s 3-yard touchdown which only took 4 seconds off the clock. Curley had 28 carries for 113 yards with two touchdowns. Goff had two weapons in both Gurley and Robert Woods.

“The guy made a good play,” said Hoyer when asked what happened on the first play. “He guessed right. We’re thinking with Marquise going over there, the speed that he has, the guy’s going to back way off. He just decided to sit on it so you chalk it up the guy making a good play. Making a good guess.”

Hoyer later made up for the early turnover and rushed for a 9-yard touchdown to tie the game. The 49ers used their running game to gain ground, unfortunately, during that same series, Hyde went out with a hip injury but returned in the second quarter ineffective.

Goff who didn’t get the opportunity to play last year at Levi’s Stadium took every opportunity to go deep. His 31-yard pass to Woods put LA in great field position before Goff connected with Gurley for a 7-yard touchdown putting the Rams up 14-7. If things couldn’t get any worse for San Francisco, Mostert rushed up the middle for no gain and fumbled the ball.

N. Robey recovered setting up Greg Zuerlein’s 48-yard field. Another costly penalty put the Rams back on the goal line. Right before the half ended Goff found Woods for a 13-yard pass and that put LA in the red zone. But a personal foul on Jimmie Ward with a helmet to helmet hit on Woods, for unnecessary roughness moved them to the goal line.

Gurley then rushed for the 2-yard touchdown giving the Rams a 24-13 lead. By the third the 49ers went back to their running game and this time Hyde dominated. San Francisco went for it on 4th and goal, with Hyde rushing in for the 1-yard touchdown. From there it became a battle between two teams who wanted desperately to win.

It was the 49ers who scored back-to-back touchdowns before squandering their chances with a few dumb penalties. Injuries were another factor, safety Jaquiski Tartt left the game with a concussion. Fullback Kyle Juszcyk had a neck injury and linebacker Brock Coyle also left the game with a concussion.

“I was proud of the guys, how they fought,” head coach Kyle Shanahan said. We just need to get better. We’ve got 10 days until our next game. It’s a division opponent in Arizona. I know we’re all excited for that. We’re going to have rehab for the guys to get healthy and try to get the players away from us for about three days.

I just really challenge them to use those three days away to get their bodies and minds right, because we plan on them coming back Monday and we plan on getting better each week. When you’re 0-3 and you’re facing some adversity, you either get better or worse.”

The deal includes the sale of the Oakland Arena to an unidentified third-party buyer for no less than $100 million, which Bobbitt said was one of the most important aspects of the site’s future redevelopment.

‘This is on the precipice of actually occurring,’ said Ray Bobbitt, buyers’ representative

By Post Staff

After many months of complex negotiations, the Oakland Coliseum development deal is finally nearing an agreement that will open the way for new owners – the African Americans Sports and Entertainment Group (AASEG) – to revitalize the sports complex and the Hegenberger Corridor in East Oakland.

On May 28, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a non-binding agreement to dispose of the County’s portion of the complex for $115 million in a deal with AASEG, with a closing date set for June 30.

“People are seeing that this is on the precipice of actually occurring,” said Ray Bobbitt, founder of the AASEG and an East Oakland native. “People feel that this needs to happen for Oakland, for East Oakland in particular,” Bobbitt said, as reported in the East Bay Times.

The agreement would transfer ownership of the 112-acre Coliseum complex property, which was owned 50-50 by Alameda County and the City of Oakland, to Oakland Acquisition Company, which is AASEG’s real estate wing.

The County’s approval marks an important step in the sale of the property, even though concerns about environmental liability remain. Under the terms of the non-binding agreement, the county will pay $115 million to Coliseum Way Partners, the corporate entity of the Oakland Athletics that had previously purchased the county’s half of the property for $85 million.

AASEG will then pay $115 million to the County in three annual payments, with 5% annual interest paid on any outstanding balance, according to the term sheet.

AASEG already negotiated a purchase of the city’s half of the property for $125 million in 2025, awaiting the sale of the county’s half.

A strong supporter of the sale, Supervisor Nate Miley said he was not “breaking out the champagne” until the sale was final. This is not perfect, but it is good.

“It’s good because the County ends up with more money,” Miley continued. “It’s good because an African American team takes ownership of the property, and they’ve got a lot of potential in terms of what they want to do with the property.”

A remaining disagreement between Alameda County and the AASEG involves environmental concerns.

AASEG wanted a “carve-out” for environmental concerns so that it would not face liability for the release of groundwater into San Francisco Bay without a permit. Obtaining a permit could be time-consuming and expensive, requiring the need for consultants, studies, and an oversight process by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board.

County supervisors unanimously supported the non-binding agreement without the carve-out, though Bobbitt said delaying or excluding the carve-out creates timing risks for the project.

“The motion is to accept the terms as presented, excluding the carve-out,” Board of Supervisors President David Haubert said. “Noting that it’s a non-binding term sheet and terms can always be discussed going forward. It’s been pointed out that that could affect the deal, timing, which we’ve been at this for nine years, but what’s a little more time?”

“The arena represents an anchor of the site,” said Babbitt. “This arena … has become a pop culture mecca, and the opportunity to enhance that and expand that is critical to the overall process.”

Speaking at the Board of Supervisors meeting, Miley explained the County’s reasoning behind some of the complex negotiations. He asked interim County Counsel Andrea Weddle:

“In layman’s term’s who’s on the hook for the environmental (cleanup)” under the current deal with the Oakland A’s?

“When the county with a former board entered in the deal with the (A’s), we took on all of the environmental obligations,” Miley said. “Since then, we’ve learned a lot more about the environmental conditions of the Coliseum.”

“If we do a deal with Coliseum Way Partners (the A’s), we remain on the hook,” she said. “If we do a deal as we’ve currently structured with OAC (AASEG), we have eliminated some or hopefully all (or) as much as we can of that liability and aligned our deal with the terms of the city.”

Bobbitt, despite his concerns, supported the nonbinding agreement. He said the public has waited nearly a decade to come to this point.

“The community support has been overwhelming,” he said. “We’ve used a lot of P-words: patience, perseverance, persistence. And we’ve just had to do it, and we understand how complex this has been.”

Seth Curry Makes Impressive Debut with the Golden State Warriors

Seth looked comfortable in his new uniform, seamlessly fitting into the Warriors’ offensive and defensive system. He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game. Seth’s points came in a variety of ways – floaters, spot-up three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and a handful of aggressive drives that kept the Oklahoma City Thunder defense on its heels.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.
