Great shows, KP and Rob know their stuff. Always pertinent and insightful commentary, adding value for a Niners fan - as opposed to adding noise (too many click-baiters out there. These guys aren’t that). Give it a chance, take a listen.
Great show, listen to every episode!

Great show Rob, look forward to your level headed insight and thoughts!! Keep the great content coming and keep being the most level headed Niners podcaster there is lol. I don’t have “X” so my take away for the niners panthers game is, wow nice to see the defense play like this. Would love more pass rush but they played lights out without a stellar one. Tip my hat to Salah and that group. Offense wasn’t bad, Purdy definitely wasn’t on his A game, but I don’t put it all on him, it was some great defensive plays by Horn. He just needs to start taking what’s there, he’ll get his opportunities to take shots. And shout out Matt Gay for coming in and kicking some solid balls. One step closer to the playoffs!! #StrikingGoldFam
