Lots of differeing opinions about this Deetroit game. From we’ll get slaughtered, to a tough loss, to a victory. 5-0 Deetroit vs the 4-1 Niners. There are a lot of people out there that don’t believe in either team as being more than flashes in the pan. The winner will be the toast of the NFL. For a week, anyway. I happen to think the 49ers can get on these guys early as the Lions struggle to get going, as they usually do. The onus will be for the 49ers to keep the chains moving once a lead is established. If it is. Harbaugh showed what he could do last week by going aggressive early. The thing was, it was done with a lot of 2 TE/2 WR formations (and even a bunch of 3 TE formations), not the 4 WR sets I had been calling for (and expecting).
The nice thing about all this? Well, I dug the fact that the 2nd TD to VD came on one of the 3 TE sets. One the Niners had run out of the previous 4 times. Down and distance, or formation doesn’t dictate the play being called anymore. Harbaugh had TB completely off-balance the whole day. And TB’s defense isn’t taken lightly. My thought (OK, hope) is they can continue this style of play. I’d actually like to see more multi-WR sets. Get Swain in there. And run up the middle. Throw screens and delays. I think the Niners can use their aggressiveness against them. Should be a good game either way.
Forty Niners Forever

from the last topic … it’s just you !
Nice Lions co-operated in their own fail!
Joe Staley is getting beat like a [insert favorite euphemism here]
Not a good start. By either team. Got to get more pressure. Detroit’s going deep this series.
Not sure why A Smith was flagged on the hard count. He didn’t go unabated,he got back, and the OT moved.
this can go two ways ! either we get it under control on offense and have a good shot to win or we fall apart !
Nice run by Best. Waited for his blocks nicely…
The Niners tackling has been clean and crisp thus far.
Another penalty. That was an iffy call on Rogers. I let ’em play.
We might as well go deep since they are calling this so tight.
Fucking refs
This is a fucking joke. They are supposed to review every TD play. They didn’t review it.
Still no excuse for Harbaugh erroneously throwing the flag. The HC has to know all the rules. The penalty really didn’t hurt, it probably was gonna be a TB anyway. It just makes Harbaugh look like a mook.
Nice going there Jimbo. Not knowing the rules is demands for expulsion in my book.
The penalty doesn’t mean shit, but where was the review?
Yer incessant whining is reason for expulsion as well, Dennis.
Very nice cutback by Frank. Nice run by Hunter. Get the ground game going…
Lions are playing well the crowd and refs are big helps!
FRANK
Yeah, Gore!! Miller with the block…
Hey, Rob. That’s the exact play I was telling you about earlier this morning. Frank on the trap block with the Lions DEs rushing by. Great play. Now they just have to punch it in…
Shit. Get this fucking ball in. Dixon falls on the goal line with the ball. No TD.
The refs are helping a little.
I’d run Smith on a naked boot…
That’ll work too. Things are getting a little chippy. I like that. Right, Skippy?
When Skippy gets chippy watch out!
There ya go. Let’s get a turnover of our own.
Davis is at least holding the point of attack. Somme nice feistiness.
