This game will be a very good indicator of the talent of this team. In the preseason, the Niners were easily handled by the likes of NO and Hou. This is the real thing, though, and whether taht makes a difference remains to be seen. All we have heard about so far is what the Niners have supposedly kept under wraps, not what they accomplished last week. The O was vanilla. And even blander in the red zone. The D was straight up for the most part, and didn’t do much blitzing or trying to fool anyone. In other words, this was a Singletary game. However, it was a game that Sing usually lost. So, that alone is a plus for Harbaugh.
Truth be told though, hearing what these guys will do in an upcoming game is also a Singletary thing that I couldn’t stand. Show it. Don’t talk about it. Hearing how well practice went, or how well Smith hit deep balls on the practice field usually makes me throw up in my mouth. Show it, and shut up about it. Harbaugh, to his credit, doesn’t talk much about anything regarding practice, injuries, or anything that could even mildly be construed as something the opponents can use against them, or the writers can write about.
So, another excersize in vanilla ice cream, or will Harbaugh unleash a bit of a down field passing attack? It would be nice to see the run game go as well, but you, me, and the watercooler all know Dallas will come out and crowd the line to force Smith to beat their D with some mid-range passes. Bubble screens, smoke routes, and runs up the middle won’t work until the Niners hit a few passes longer than 5 yards. Pass blocking is essential. Somethng that was a problem in the preseason. DeMarcus WHERE? is the key for the O line. Slow him down, and let Smith hit some passes, and the line should be able to get the run game going.
Beating Dallas, a good but flawed team, would be a big feather in Harbaugh’s cap. It would give the Niners confidence, and the fans a little hope, and hopefully swing the momentum for this team going forward.
Nobody blocked Ware???!!! WTF!!!!!
Shit
Okay, we’re turning into the Sardine Can Offense of jimmy Raye right before our eyes.
So again the offense doesn’t get it done. It’s up to the tired D again.
Andy Lee may be their best defensive player
Andy Lee has been our MVP for the past three yrs at least.
I love our punter.
we can still do this
our defense is good
test tes
They’re going to score at this rate and leave no time for us.
Somebody on defense needs to make a big play to win this game.
Great play by Justin Smith…
47 yarder to tie ? BLOCK THAT SHIT
Goc Damnit. OT
Be a nice time for McDonald to block one.
Shit. OT.
We should have won this game. Now it’s sudden death, because of too many conservative play calls, a few blown coverages, a couple of O-line foul-ups and a couple of Alex mistakes, the pick being the big one.
That tails shit never works
Goddamnit, Alex, Harbaugh, make some plays and win this shit.
Goddamnit. Threw it short.
Ginn needs to know where the first down marker is, and so does Alex.
It’s always on the receiver to get to the marker,.
Goc DAMNIT, WTF kind of defense is that
Too many fucking stupid mistakes.
