49 Karats Podcast: a 49ers podcast

The 49ers’ season comes to a crushing end in Seattle. In a Divisional Round matchup that never felt competitive, the Seahawks controlled the game from start to finish and handed the 49ers a complete beatdown, ending San Francisco’s playoff run earlier than anyone expected.

Steph and Weston break down all the key performances, highlight the unsung heroes, and vote for this week’s 49K Player of the Week.

Steph and Weston will discuss the biggest takeaways and which performances deserved to be nominated for 49K Player of the Week.

Monday Night Football belonged to Brock Purdy. In what may have been the best game of his career, Purdy accounted for a career-high five total touchdowns as the 49ers took down the Colts in a massive MNF win. Christian McCaffrey delivered his most efficient performance of the season, and the defense stepped up late to help close the door when it mattered most.

The 49ers walked out of Cleveland with a bigger-than-expected win — and today Steph and the live chat are crowning the 49K Player of the Week for the performance that made the biggest impact. Plus, I'll review the latest injury updates.

The 49ers walked into Cleveland expecting a weather war… and walked out with a bigger-than-expected win. In 30+ mph winds, it was the special teams and defense that took over the game — flipping field position, forcing mistakes, and giving the offense gift-wrapped opportunities all afternoon. Steph discusses all the key plays on today's 49K Post Game LIVE!

The 49ers offense has a real opportunity to explode again as they take on a vulnerable Carolina Panthers defense on Monday Night Football. With injuries piling up on defense and special teams, the offense may need to keep carrying the load in Week 11. Steph and KP discuss the key matchups heading into MNF.

The 49ers offense is finally showing signs of life — but now the defense and special teams are taking big hits. With linebacker Tatum Bethune and kicker Eddy Pineiro suffering new injuries, San Francisco suddenly finds itself leaning heavily on Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, and this rising offense to carry them through the next stretch of the season. Steph discusses that plus nominates 49K Pla...

The 49ers offense finally exploded. In a must-have performance, Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey absolutely rumbled their way through the Cardinals defense, stacking scoring drive after scoring drive and reminding the league what this unit looks like when it’s healthy, dialed in, and fully synced.

For once, we’ve got good news out of Santa Clara. After weeks of dealing with injuries across the roster, Brock Purdy and Ricky Pearsall are both trending toward returning this Sunday — and that could be huge for a 49ers team trying to regain momentum. Steph discusses that and some keys to beating the Cardinals.

After a tough loss to the Rams, the 49ers finally have some good news to hang onto — rookie WR Ricky Pearsall is inching closer to returning, and the team came out of Week 10 without any new injuries. Steph and Weston will also try to find a silver lining in the 49ers loss to Rams with nominations for 49K Player of the Week.

The 49ers got flat-out outplayed by the Rams in a 42–26 loss that exposed major defensive weaknesses and raised serious questions about this team’s readiness. The Rams offense did whatever they wanted against a hurting 49ers defense, while Mac Jones and the offense didn’t find a rhythm until it was too late. Costly mistakes and missed opportunities kept San Francisco from ever really getting back...

Steph is joined by KP to discuss the most important matchups for the 49ers to repeat that type of performance. We'll also open the show with Dezi giving us a breakdown on injuries.
