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.
Forty Niners Forever 
Think Dalton was who JH really wanted
Then our guy who won Jed’s nation-wide search to be our GM shoulda traded up to NE(?) to secure the first pk on day day.
He who hesitates…
Nation wide search, right
Dalton went just one pick ahead of Kaep. Man, are we gonna rue that day…
Shoulda been a pick, but the D finally stiffened.
Glad you could finally join us, Chuck. Fr. give a long sermon at Mass today?
Bruce Miller is already 100X better than Moran Norris.
Andy Lee MVP
Play action and a fullback pass. haven’t seen that in a long time on first down.
Bad throw, too high.
Our offensive line and our secondary are the worst in the history of the NFL. How’s Harbaugh gonna win with that?
And who’s responsible for assembling that talent?
Baalke needs to be fired post-haste.
Nice screen there. Jesus H. Christ.
I hate to say it, but Frank Gore has lost two steps. Jim Singletary needs to stop giving Gore the ball. Dixon, Hunter and spread the fuckin’ offense out.
Yep it’s the SCO
Donte Whitner is questionable w/ a hip injury. M. Williams in at SS.
Went to the spread on 1st dn. 4-wide.
I’m really starting to hate Frank Gore….. never thought I’d say that.
There’s the fucking leader of your O-line with a stupid penalty.
Media Williams in? We’re fucked.
Smith avoids the rush, then misses Crabs. Those two have absolutely NO chemistry whatsoever.
Our offensive line is the worst in football, and I could carve up our secondary throwing bombs to Del in his wheelchair and “slow slants” to Grump in his walker. We’re fucked.
This looks about right, man
Media Williams makes me long for the days of Roman and Lewis.
Crabtree better not be starting over Kyle Williams.
Jesus VD catch the fucking ball!
Snyder in for Rachal
