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.
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
That why real players, as opposed to pussy ass bitches like Crabs, need to practice.
Harbaugh getting caught in all the same traps as Singletary. Thought he was smarter than that.
The defense needs to win this game with a turnover.
Harbaugh needs to have a policy like Walsh: drop the ball, take a seat
Gutsy call giving the ginger freedom to throw from his own 5 yd line.
If cincy drives for a TD this game is over.
Nice pressure by McDonald. Got to pick one of those crap throws off.
I think after Ted Ginn, we should just punt it right back to them.
OK. Good field position. Do something
Has there ever been a punt on first down in the NFL? We should own that stat.
That’s good! haha but there’s a tear in my beer
This is it we gotta score TD
Finally, someone made a play.
OMG, a pass greater than 5 yards down the field!! be still my beating heart!!!
VD!
Great pitch and catch, but we have to burn a TO.
Fire Harbaugh!
Big time gutty throw by Alex too.
Even though Vernon just caught that ball, he needs to go up for the ball and catch it out of the air. He can’t keep thinking he’s great catching the ball against his body. Against elite teams, he needs to go up for the ball and catch it with his hands. This is why Vernon is overrated.
Goddamned Joe Staley.
“False start entire OL”
Classic
We should just kick a field goal.
Great paly by Alex. Bonehead play by Crabs.
Automatic first down, kick a field goal. Please. I beg you.
We still have a chance today. A real team would have buried us by now, but this is the Bungles. They suck about as much as we do. The last mistake will probably lose this fucker of a game.
Here comes your field goal, Spit. Wonder if we’ll screw it up?
This is a pathetic excuse for an NFL football game. They better burn the tape once this goes final.
Nice hit, Larry Grant. Make a contribution on ST, earn more playing time.
Alex Smith is up to his old tricks. Inaccurate, holding the ball too long….. same old sorry ass Smith.
Spit, if you’re referring to that last play, even *I* can’t pin that one on Alex.
That shit was on Frank.
Gore whiffed on that blitz p/u. Why did we extend him again?
4 sacks for Cincy in 3 quarters
That was a victory for Cincy. The Niners should have 7 points
Funny, other team receivers seem to know where the first down marker is.
I’m referring to the entire game…. Smith: Inaccurate, throwing only underneath routes, holding the ball too long. Terrible qb play regardless of the god awful offensive line play. Gotta overcome to be a starting qb in the NFL.
Criminy, Crabs didn’t go OB on that play. I thought the NFL reviewed every score.
Chuck, because the Crabtree play was not rule as a TD (nullified by penalty), it wasn’t automatically reviewed. Harbaugh should have reviewed it.
Why did we extend Frank Gore again? Fucking mook.
The Niners should punt here on first down. I smell disaster.
Just as I type that…..
Spit, you could moonlight as a corpse-sniffing dog.
We deserve to lose. Our offense is the worst in the NFL.
That’s been my motto for the SF Giants all year long…
“We deserve to lose.”
And you’re right, the 49ers DESERVE to lose today.
I have been banned from all pet cemeteries.
LOL
Gotta get more Hunter in there.
Well here we go. If this team has one drive in them, it has to be now.
Regardless of how this game turns out, Crabs, VD, and Gore should get benched.
WTF you talkin’ bout Willis? VD has been our offensive “MVP” thus far for the day.
We score too soon and our defense will probably find a way to lose this game even so.
Gore is having a rough day, huh?
Kendall Hunter is eating Gore’s lunch. Also using DL on the OL
First down at the five? Kick a field goal.
Nice TD run. But four minutes left for our D to find a way to blow it. I need another drink.
The only thing I like about Vernon Davis is his trade value.
Kendall Hunter is 1000X faster than Frank.
And who all told you about Hunter back at last years’ Senior Bowl practice?
That’s right, your buddy, Del.
Hunter with nice vision, and some blocking for a change.
Let’s see if the defense can not go to sleep.
They’ve been sleeping. GOT to keep the pressure up.
I have an idea…LET’S GET IN THE PREVENT DEFENSE!!!
Defense actually made a play. Now kill some time and get one more score.
Nice . . . easy pick
Carlos Rogers INT? Kick a field goal.
Boo. Harbaugh wimping out . . .
Dennis, you might want to amend that “10 x better than Smith” post. 5 X? 3X? Worse?
Andy Dalton is playing his THIRD NFL game. Alex is in his SEVENTH year.
I’ll take the ginger.
Ginger or Mary Ann or INT?
I’ll take the INT.
Hey, we might catch an actual break next week. The Puppy Killer broke his hand.
I better scoop those tears outta my beer.
I hope to see that motherless son of a fuck in hell.
That was the dumbest play call ever. End around when you need to KICK A FIELD GOAL??? WTF? If you do try and end around, which you shouldn’t in that situation, you use Ted Ginn.
Harbaugh needs to understand that you go for the kill.
If we miss the FG, we could easily lose here.
Losing 3 yards going for the put=away score is terrible.
Akers MVP
. . . and a FG is not a put-away score. . .
We still have to stop them now.
What did I tell you guys about signing Akers?
That was our best FA p/u in the offseason. The guy *I* called for as soon as Philly drafted Henery.
Akres and Lee….. for President and VP. Betcha they’d provide more economic O than the big O.
If that fucking mook gets re-elected, don’t look at my ass. Look in the mirror.
Akers is money. . .
2 53 yarders.
And they got Smith on the MOVE.
No Goddamned Prevent!
Wow. Too easy. Burned on the blitz so we won’t see that again.
They are driving. Give this kid time and he will tie this up. We have to bring some pressure, confuse him with coverage games. Cannot be vanilla now.
Unreal they drop so deep. 3 passes, 35 yards.
That looks like an interception. We dodged a bullet. Dalton and his receiver read it differently I think. Looked like he expected the receiver to turn the other way.
Looks like an INT to me…
Nice job by RS to cradle that ball and secure it completely.
Seriously? Lingering in the huddle?
Why the fuck are we still having so many problems getting our people to the line on offense?
VERY interesting to note that Hunter is the RB right here, and not Gore.
I know you hate him, Spit, but Reggie Smith *might* have just won this game for us.
OTOH, we may need to punt if we don’t get a first down. It’ll be close.
The Eagles lost today to the G-Men. Puppy Killer or not next week…
They are gonna take us out to the woodshed and open more than just one can…
Yep better if Iggles won
Good call taking the safety. That’s the first thing Jimbo did right all year.
That and benching Gore
Fucking Mora forgets that you CAN’T use a tee after a safety.
How the fuck does he have this job?
That game just gave me diarrhea.
4:10 AM and feel like I’ve just worked 8 hours. Exhausting
It was ugly as all hell, but it’s a win.
We got 226 TOTAL yds. That’s a season high.
We didn’t deserve to win, and so help me Christ if we pull a Seattle and win this division at 7-9, I’m gonna be PISSED.
But, let me add…the Bengals didn’t deserve to win either.
I despise mediocre and sub-standard play. We just watched 60 min of that shit.
Hey, a road win is a road win in the NFL.
Bungles or not.
`Death Threat Wet Brain with his tired “didn’t deserve it” bullshit. Defense was tough, Smith was rock solid again- a road win in the NFL- always tough, always deserved. Gore and Diva suck again- that’s a problem…
FUCK YOU! You waited until the game was over to make your first comment. Where the fuck were you when Alex and the offense had 92 yds at the half.? You’re a bandwagon blog commentator. That’s the worst thing in my book.
You and Alex will be forever cemented in Room B.
No way I screw around with your dumbfuck comments all game long. What they did at the half is barely relevant- you’ve now become a troll on Chuck’s blog and Craig’s., go over to the Dallas blog and suck some ‘Boy dick, farina brain…
The line sucked again. That’s a more pressing problem.
Alex Smith played like dogshit. Twinfan, you have to be realistic. Smith played well against the Cowboys, but here, today,lex Smith held the ball too long, checked down all day long and was very inaccurate. Smith played like shit……. again.
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.
Catholic? Born, raised and sent to parochial school.
Does it show?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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…
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.
I’m counting down the moment till Spit breaks out some of his super clever homophobic put downs.
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.
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?
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.
“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.
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.
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…
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..
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.
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..
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…..
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?
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.
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..
