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 
Play calling leaves somethig to be desired. I knew they were going Gore up the middle on 2nd and 6. The rest is the same crap.
3rd and 14 and we give up that shit. And now the play to the TE.
Not looking good. Not stopping them on 3rd down, giving up long passes.
Stripped at goal line!
Cowboys are stomping the Lions huh Del?
Shhh. Don’t tell anyone, Phil. And it’s been Romo to Dez Bryant for 2 scores.
That helps a certain someone in our fantasy league. I wonder who?
How bout dem cowboys!
Okay mums the word
WTF was Brown thinking? That was the dumbest thing I’ve seen in awhile. He should be cut tomorrow. I know one person who would be upset, besides Brown, that would be Rob. As he has Ronnie Brown on his fantasy team.
Wasted chance but good punt
Nice job by our ST to “stay at home” and nix that Eagles reverse on the punt.
Dumb fucks philly trying to help out but SF can’t capitalize.
Is Wendell Tyler a coach for the Eagles?
They don’t hold on to the ball too well.
Vick the escape artist. Finally Aldon tackles/sacks Vick
Bowman again with the nice open-field tackle. He’s quickly becoming my new favorite 49er. He still has a little ways to go if he wants to unseat Alex as my #1 favorite.
It’s the rushers as much as Vick, you can’t be lunging at him.
Right our tackling sucks except for Aldon S
Nice fumble by “your boy” right there. He didn’t fumble because of a hit, he fumbled because he was afraid. Mook.
You’re the coward, making death threats from the safety of your rehab room.
Shoulda gotten Cam Newton for the fantasy team, jeez
199 yards at the half- 2 TDs
Just Alex being Alex…he fumbled the ball even before Babin hit him.
Mook.
After watching that video of Montana you posted vs Saints I’d say he’s a little more confident yeah
STFU- the issue is a totally blown assignment, scumbag. If they continue protecting as they have, they’ll go through 5 QBs this year. I can see you need another thiamine injection. I’ll call nurse for you.
DEL
i benched or cut brown before the game today ! you like our QB ?
Yep he does but Bowman is sneaking up there
our defense is good
aldon smith is something !
oops
We didn’t defend that shovel pass too well. To say the least.
This isn’t Seattle or Cincinnati gentlemen.
i may have to rethink my pre game prediction !
That hurts
Check Down Charlie at his best. Throw it deep.
To who, Wet Brain?
