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.
Nice, loosen up that D
catch crabs !
you dead yet chuck ! lol
ooooh !
great punt ! we need a big play
Criminy. They haven’t hit deep with CJ yet. They’re going to go back to that at some point. Unless we keep the pressure up. Ginn has no feel as a WR. He should have done a better job getting that pass.
sack with a thrree man rush oooh boy
go ginn , big return
The D is phenomenal. The O needs to pick shit up NOW.
This just in: our defense ain’t too shabby. Ditto for Justin Smith.
Oh yeah
Detroit getting flustered, confusion escalating. 9ers winning field position game.
TD guys!
Totally fucking sailed that. They’ve been getting higher and higher.
Too high Alex
Smith’s been high with his throw’s to Crabtree all day. Crabs saved him before, no chance on that one.
Crabs has hardly saved Smith, he’s made catches any receiver should make. He also cost them a TD, along with Walker.Bad throw on the INT, though.,
ok
smith had a down moment ! we hold em on D now and we’ll be ok !
Rob, you’re the most optimistic guy I know. Must be the Florida weather?
Gators? The Epcot Center? Gulf of Mexico? Bonsai!
Juist a bad throw, not much more to say.
A sack is needed. They are going quick passes. Trying to draw the LBs/safeties up for a big play.
Smith is one shitty QB. I’d fear for my life if I were one of his receivers crossing the middle!
That’s ridiculous.
Wow, now THAT was a bad pass by Smith. Horrific.
Turnovers are really hurting us
How is that not a touchdown?
Regardless of the replay outcome, the NFL needs to change that rule.
That’s a TD.
