Game Day . . . Good, Bad, or Ugly?

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.

    Crabs has to rum that route right. Fucking tool.

    3rd and 7 and we run a 5 yd comeback. That used to piss off John Madden when he was in the booth. He always harped on not throwing the ball PAST the line of gain needed. Can’t say I care for it too much myself.

    Niners sloppy drive trying to wake up in East time zone

  10. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    That’s all Crabs Dennis. He has to run the route past the 1st down marker.

    Let’s GO.

    With Edwards and Morgan out, chance for Crabtree to step up and declare himself d man

  16. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

  17. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:
