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 
yesss ! and we get good feild position !
go vernon
Use the fucking time out!

And who was screaming to sign Akers as soon as Philly drafted Henery?
You can thank me and Joe Nedney’s calcified mass later.
Thank you not gonna wait. Good scouting
Akers! Sweet
Pretty f- sweet clock mgmt…think we win this one going away.
Yeah night and day from last few years. Lions are pissing on themselves at the half
It’s following the Harbaugh script of grinding on them, wear ’em down in the second half. Little bit like the Philly game
Not getting blown out, on the road, by a good team… so far, so good. If we manage to actually win here, this is huge.
Stout defense, good punting, and cool work from the QB- this could have gotten away early. Nice half- Yeah, Phil, I have a faint smile, but this is far from over.
Avoid turnovers or it gonna be tough
yup and we got it
dammit !
Hey! I think your yahoo! fantasy team is doing alright. Stewart, who you just p/u has 2 TDs. If Rob can win a fantasy game, then so can the Niners. 😛
Lucky that ball wasn’t picked. Alex leading a charmed life…at the moment.
