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.
10-7 feels pretty good considering
Time to get rolling here.
Mo coming our way; D getting going
Anyone here missing Aubrayo Franklin? Didn’t think so. I knew it was the right move to let that fat fuck go.
Hey, a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then. Just ask ROB!
GB 17-0 over Rams
Game on gentleman! Oh I use the word Gentleman loosely, so that included Dennis.
Lots of loose gents here Kevin
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.
Crabs has to get past the 1st down marker. The play is to drive past the marker and sit. Crabs didn’r
Niners sloppy drive trying to wake up in East time zone
D is AWAKE now
That’s all Crabs Dennis. He has to run the route past the 1st down marker.
Let’s GO.
Brooks, Willis and Bowman…does it get any better?
Another score here and da Lions will get nervous. D playing real good
Brooks with a very nice blitz. That was almost a Chris Evert sack.
Hey chuck A SLANT!
Crabs got a 1st down I believe on that one
With Edwards and Morgan out, chance for Crabtree to step up and declare himself d man
Yep
Yeah, Crabs just dropped that go route.
A turnover would be nice
LOL good call chuck
That should be a safety! Thank you.
GOT IT safety!
