Don’t see much of a chance against Philly, unless there is constant pressure from the get-go, the 49ers force some early turnovers, and the are-we-not-so-sucky O line can figure out how to pass protect. And run block. These two teams have had some interesting games over the years. I read a wonderful thing in the paper in that before last week’s loss to the Giants, the Iggles hadn’t given up 4 TDs in the air since Joe Montana dropped 5 TDs on Philly in 1989. 4 of those TDs of course came in the 4th quarter. Then there was the beat-down that Philly laid on SF in 1994 (40-8?), where Young went ballistic when George Seifert pulled him out of the game. The players themselves said it was the turning point of the season, and the Niners won 10 in a row, and closed the season 13-1 and went on to win the Super Bowl.
Recent history hasn’t been so kind. In 2005, Tim Rattay was chased and harassed to the tune of a 42-3 beat-down. In 2006, the Eagles ruined one of Alex Smith’s best days when he went 27 for 46, 293 yards, and one TD en route to a 38-24 loss. The 2008 debacle was the death knell for Mike Nolan. Going into the 4th quarter with a 9 point lead, Gore at 98 yards on the ground, and possession of the ball, the Niners (and JT O’Fuckmeagain) fumbled and pick-sixed their way to a demoralizing 40-26 loss. Gore had 6 yards rushing on 3 attempts, with the LEAD. This prompted the Nolan firing a week later, and the throttling of the pass-happy Mike Martz by Mike Singletary. 2009? Well, a 3 pick day by Alex sealed that game, a 27-13 ho-hum loss. Last year’s game was another close-but-not-quite loss. Alex had his only 300 yard game in his career, going 25 for 39, and 309 yards. However, he skipped a screen pass off Gore for a pick, and gave Philly 6 points on a misguided attempt to salvage a broken play. He instead fumbled and Philly took it to the house. Another close comeback thwarted by the misfortunes of the Singletary-led 49ers.
I’m not expecting miracles. I am hoping for better line play, continued improvement by the secondary, and some consistent drives. If the Niners can keep it low-scoring, thaey have a chance. A track meet doesn’t bode well.
Forty Niners Forever 
Blow me. I called the comeback. You have to be a fucking whiner. The Niners won despite the 7 points Smith gave Philly.
I guess fumbles aren’t the fault of the ball carriers. It’s those mean guys trying to tackle them, twinklepuff.
I said the Niners could win if they kept it close and low-scoring. They did. You can worry about your gay-ass ‘calls’ all you want. Bully for you, fuckwad. That and $5.00 gets you a quaalude.
I’m so glad you guys banned Spitblood to raise the level of decorum here. Way to go.
LOL.
Decent half of football for Alex. Keep it up and we might just finish over .500 yet. Good game by the defense to dig in and keep it close in the second half. Tremendous game running and receiving by Hunter.
The Eagles made so many mistakes in the 2nd half – the difference between today and the last seven years is, we took what was offered, and made them pay, ON THE ROAD, against a decent team.
Huge game.
Someone has to replace him, Grump. Might as well be Twinklepuff.
Naw it just gives the rest of us a chance to blow smoke
Shit, the Cards are leading the Giants by 3. I penciled in a W for the G-Men.
Silly me.
Fucking Vince Wilfork with his 2nd INT this yr off of Jason Campbell.
That fat fuck makes Prince Fielder look like Iman.
Tom Brady is the best. It’s not even a discussion.
Frank had 127 yds today, and he was our “backup.”
The Philly fans are gonna be asking for ropes and foot stools.
“Hang ‘Em High,” Clint.
Who had the Bungles beating the Bills today?
That’s what I thought. Not I said the cat.
NFL rates QBs for the *game*. After today Smith will move into the top 10- ahead of Wet Brain’s boys. His 2 turnovers are probably least in the NFL, I’ll check later. Chuckles didn’t call shit -yeah, he called a 20 point comeback while simultaneously trashing the QB who would have to lead it- sure. You fucks are a hoot- Grumpy calls Smith’s second half “decent”..
I’m whining? That’s hilarious- I’m CROWING, you dumb cocksucker. Making a huge fucking deal of ONE turnover is fucking stupid. Romo had three just today, idiot. Brady had 4 last week. The problem with all of you is not having the grace to admit you’ve been wrong so far this year.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaah! keep it up skippy.
You think the Philly fans are bemoaning Ronnie Brown’s turnover?
You called it? You called it the year before, and the year before, and the year before. You called 10-6 the last few years.
You act like it means something, skippy.
You’re a fucking liar, too.

We have Chuckles with they won in spite of Smith, NoFear with he was lucky, GG with his huge second half was “decent”… truly pathetic. I put “man” in quotes for a reason, Chucklette..this was a huge win and it was led by Smith. Period. And in case you morons haven’t paid attention- many of Joe’s or Elway’s or anybody else’s comeback wins were after they’d played less than well earlier. Including the “Catch” game when Joe turned it over a few times before the great drive..Here’s your best course of action: just be truthful- it was a great win led by ALEX SMITH. And get used to it.
