Test # 2 for Jim Harbaugh – Winning on the Road

So, Harbaugh did in game one what it took Singletary 6 weeks to do last year, and that was win game one. Next on Harbaugh’s bucket list is to win on the road. Since last year’s Denver gasme was technically a home game (London? Right), Singletary didn’t win a road game til week 12 in AZ. Yes, Cincinnati is a bottom-feeder in the NFL, but home field is a pretty big equalizer. Just ask Dallas. They barely escaped an 0-2 start, while the Niners would have been included in the list of surprising 2-0 teams (Washington, Detroit, Buffalo, and Texas).  Anyhow, 1-1 is fine for now. However, if this team is going to be thought of as making progress, they need to beat the crappier teams in the league. And Cincinnati certainly falls into that realm. Gingerbread man Andy Dalton notwithstanding.

Raggedy Andy has put up decent numbers (37/56, 413  yds, 3 TDs 0 picks, 105 QBR) against a couple of bad defenses in Cleveland and Denver. He’s hitting a lot of underneath stuff (7.4 yds/completion), so this may not bode well for the 49ers. Dallas killed the Niners in the 4th quarter with underneath stuff after harassing Romo most of the day. Their pass pro is decent enough (5 sacks in 2 games) but one can hope we bring the pressure more than Cleve and Denver.

As far as our offense goes? I can’t even hazard a guess. The Niners played as good a 1st half as they could have offensively. They followed it up in the 2nd half with a strategy that let Dallas right back into the game.  one hopes that they’ll keep the offensive flow going throughoout the entire game on Sunday, and not try to force the run at all costs.

    Dennis, I’ll say it again: this weird obsession you have with not deserving a win is bizarre. Are you catholic? It’s a fucking game, nobody deserves or doesn’t deserve shit. Luck plays a role in sports. There are nuances and details of the game, plays get made or don’t get made. All that ends up being a win for one team and a loss for the other.

      Who the fuck let Flavor in here? Naunces and Luck? Fuck that. I make my own luck. This team sucked ass today, no other way to put it. Just because they went up against the Bengals doesn’t mean we should all praising this team. You and Twinfan don’t like it? Go fuck yourselves.

    Twinfan,
    I’m not saying the poor offensive play was all on him. Our O line could be the worst O line in all of football. But to say Smith was “rock solid,” is your attempt to troll. And you just got Del, well played. But we don’t troll here, and Smith played like shit.

  3. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Run blocking was bad. Pass pro was nominally better. D was solid against the ginger rook. Pressure from the base D was solid once again, but the prevent leaves little to be desired. Cincy went away from the quick passes that worked early. Until the last drive.

    Hard to go downfield when the blocking isn’t there but for once they moved the pocket around, and got Smith out in space. It worked. Harbaugh must be yelling in Smith’s earhole about sailing his passes, because a lot of them were down low.

    Spitfuck, you’re a goddamn idiot. .As I asked- why wasn’t t your hard drive confiscated? Or was it? That’s usually mandatory when an adult is banned from appropaching a schoolyard…
    Diva dropped three passes, stepped OB on another, and Gore dropped one. Really innacurate- 25 for 30 if those guys can hold onto the ball.

  5. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Dennis, seeing as there were 4 dropped passes, 20/30 201 is fine. 85.5 is solid. Not spectacular, but a solid game.

    5 sacks is a continuing issue.

  6. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    I don’t know if I’d say Smith played like shit. It wasn’t his best game. He still managed a qb rating in the mid 80’s. That more than doubled up “Denny’s guy” who he said earlier was ALREADY 10 X better than Smith. More drivel from Denny. Plus Smith had at least 3 or 4 dropped balls.
    Dennis, the was you post I really must think you’re rooting against the Niners. It would probably give you multiple orgasms to see Alex smith actually directly effect the game with a loss (like your other “boy” romo got saddled with vs the Jets). Smith is helping them win games. If you’re a fan why wouldn’t you celebrate that?

  7. spitblood's avatar spitblood says:

    Fuck Flavor and Twinfan. Come in here after any game and all they are here for is to defend Alex Smith and pick fights. I’d love to bitch slap both Twinfan and his bitch, Flavor.

  8. spitblood's avatar spitblood says:

    I got a good one…… Twinfan, keep talking your shit and I’ll bitch-slap the “Flavor” out of your mouth. Damn….. I love me some me.

    • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

      That’s not even the slightest bit funny. I suppose when you have no life and no interests outside of blogging at chuck’s blog (seriously dude, go get a job or a hobby or something) you over value the quality of your posts…

  9. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    Spit: I didn’t say I thought they played well, it’s obvious they were marginal at best—across the board. I just don’t understand why some if you guys wouldn’t just be happy they won instead of boo hooin’ about the fact that Smith isn’t Joe Montana.

  10. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    I’m counting down the moment till Spit breaks out some of his super clever homophobic put downs.

  11. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    Smith has been their best offensive perfiormer in every game-I’ll give Vernon a tie for today. –
    Spitfuck- the only bitch-slapping you’ve ever done is what got your sorry ass on parole. Maybe you *should* try an adult for a change.
    Now don’t be making threats, boy. You aren’t dealing with minors anymore.

  12. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    And I didn’t come here to defend Smith. His adequate play today that helped the team win more than speaks to anything I could say to defend him. I had 2 or 3 posts during the game. I didn’t post the number that you and Dennis posted but I have an actual life outside of Chuck’s blog, unlike your dumbasses. Seriously Spit, do you even know your way out of here?

  13. spitblood's avatar spitblood says:

    Twinfan and Flavor only come on this blog after games to defend Alex Smith and defend each other. They always show up together. Too bad, however, that Alex Smith isn’t defendable. All Smith did today was check down, miss passes and hold the ball too long. Good players play well consistently, and they overcome problems areas. Smith couldn’t overcome a hangnail. And both of you guys – your act is tired. Alex Smith fuckin’ sucks. The Niners need to change all of the offensive players.

    • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

      “your act is tired”. Ha, now that’s comedy. The guy who can’t find his way out of Chuck’s blog who post 8 million posts a day saying the exact same shit is telling me my act is tired.
      And your genius assessment of the team is to change out every single offensive player. That’s something a third grader would say. God, I can’t believe I just spent 5 minutes of my life responding to your dumbass. Ok dude, I’m out. I’d show you the way out but I think you’d fall down or pass out or something. No, you stay here. Where you always are. Keep spreading those fabulous ideas like changing out the entirely offense. Clever.

  14. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    Smith drove them for a TD when they had to have it. Considering the drops, Gore. and the atrocious protection, his performance was stellar- and he drove thwm to the winning score late in the 4th quarter. The Scumbags lose- Smith wins.

  15. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    And keep the insults coming Spit. I find them humorous. Guys who shit talk at a blog don’t bother me in the slightest. I live in real life not this pixel world your can’t seem to find your way out of. Since I know you wouldn’t ever say any of this shit to my face, all your put downs, homophobia and death threats do is secure your place in life as a Grade A número UNO gigantic gaping pussy…

  16. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    There would actually be a few reasonable and intelligent people posting here if Chuck would ban Wet Brain and “Don’t go near the Schoolyard”..no one wants to fuck around with you two slimefucks for three hours. Look at what you have here, Chuck- two miscreants whose death and physical threats forced you to close your last blog- and they’re at it again. Lose these two and you’d have a nice blog again- they’re a scourge..

  17. spitblood's avatar spitblood says:

    Twinfan – here’s a poem for you and your lady-friend, Flavor.

    Alex Smith sucks, I wish him dead.
    I put a hit out on his head.

    The End.

    • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

      Another clever post. Really, how do you come up with such literary genius? I want you to admit right now that you haven’t logged out of chuck’s blog since he opened it a few weeks ago. How do you eat? Does round table deliver right to to your lap top? and keep the “let’s change out the entire offense” ideas coming. But for a guy who has nothing to do with his life other than blog at chuck’s blog, the “masses” here really deserve a little more than that..

    • bigflavor's avatar Flavor says:

      again, that’s just not funny or interesting. It’s something a kid would write. If this is the type of *gold* that the blog is now missing with your most recent banning, I gotta tell ya dude, this place will probably survive your absence…..

  18. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Jesus, it;s a blog guys. TF and Flav ain;t doing anything that you guys ain’;t starting. Spitty, Dennis, we’ve been over this. I have no problem banning both of you. Keep up the attacks and you;re gone.

    OK?

  19. Kevin's avatar Kevin says:

    Nice to see TF and Flav give Spit what he needs, a dose of reality. At this point with the Niners gore is not going to give them what they need, Alex should have the ball in his hands if the niners hope to win games. Opposing teams are still stuffing the run. About the only thing Doomin is right about is why the hell did Gore get an extent ion??? The only other thing is on the offensive play calling, should have passed on first down at leaste tried for a first down. Harbaugh once again went into the play not to lose mode instead of play to win. Needs to crack open that Bill Walsh play book in the last two minutes of the game.

  20. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    It’s reasonable to argue that Smith was just “OK” today, saying he played “like dogshit” is just an attempt to incite and inflame. It’s ignorant and not supportable on any level.There wouldn’t be any need to defend Smith if his play was honestly assessed in the first place..
