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 
Plenty of time left, need to run a bit more.
I repeat: where’s Vernon D?
Good question
Is there a less tough reveiver than Crabs? He has to turn that upfield and put his head down.
Once again we run a play short of the 1st down gain on 3rd and 5.
The pattern and ball has to be thrown at least 5 yds. You cannot count on the receiver getting some YAC.
Crabtree has to get that first down, There was plenty of room, he chose to run OB instead of putting his head down, Being short WRs is hurting..
That’s why Calvin is the best WR in football. He ran over Whitner and then some…
The short pass and the screen have been killing plays all day long, of course that is IMHO
I’m not impressed with Stafford one iota. He’s inaccurate and appears to be bringing up the rear when it comes to counting IQ points.
Yep he’d never be on a Harbaugh team
Another high one Alex. Throwing off back foot
Alex should stop throwing it to Crabtree. He’s not Yao Ming for chrissakes.
Offense looking bad both pass and run
That 3rd and 1 is on Jimbo. Shitty play call.
And Moose is right. Ginn needs to get that 1st down.
Same fucking shit from Ginn. We have two chicken shit WRs..
But he’s doing his job as PR/KR. That’s is only saving grace…
This is getting rediculous!! end arounds is not going to win this game.
Aldon is a fucking beast.
Wretched series right there. AS is looking awful right now. Terrible play call on 3rd and 1. Ginn really fucked up at the end of that run
Nice Ginn!
Shit make Hunter a wide reciever, he seems to know how to get a first down
I thought Gunther Cunningham was a mummy by now…
Damn near every D player on the line to stop Gore COLD
Play action for chrissakes
