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 
okay not knowing how to throw the ball into the end zone, not good
2 min warning, I will say it is a warning, Warning 49ers you will lose if you don’t get a TD right now!!
HOLY SHIT WALKER
Yes, and what was it?? A pass into the End Zone!!
OK, I have an idea for this last 1:51…Let’s get into the prevent defense!
He saved his best pass of the day for the last…great job.
hmmm…becoming an Alex fan Dennis??
Never.
Ha ha ha
The D has to come up big right now!
Smack dem Lions. Pass was caught at 5 yard line…
no, no don’t go into that prevent D, that does not prevent shit, The corners back pedaling way too soon
-2 in turnovers. 15 penalties for 120 yds. We really don’t deserve to win this game.
I think it’s safe to say, it’s one of those (our) year(s).
We were lucky yeah but good enough to win in their house.
Fuck this announcer for cheering on the Lions!!
Here comes the Hail Mary!!
I like that final TO. Why chance anything? Make sure everyone is on the same page.
I’ll give Jimbo a thumbs up on that one..
5-1? I’d be buying Lotto tickets if I was a 49er.
How bout dem Niners!
Tough tough tough tough game. But a ton of shit to overcome.12 penalties? 14?
Great win. Harbaugh’s winning the close ones.
Told ya people. We ground ’em down in the end just like I called it. YAAAHHOO!!
I told you guys it was getting chippy early on. I guess Schwartz didn’t like Harbaugh’s “what’s your deal?”
Ha, ha..Harbaugh enthusiasm wasn’t appreciated there by Schwartzie. Fuck em. We’re back!
Did you guys see the aftermath? My FOX affiliate cut away, but I switched over to my NFL Red Zone and saw the players, and coaches, particularly Jim Schwartz, going at it towards the tunnel. The refs came in and broke it up. I hope they show the replays…
Yeah they cut the Fox feed but Ted and Eric were describing JH pounding (once) Schwartsie’s widow bitty shoulda much to his anger. Tough shit pussy
Good day for Alex Smith(s). The Brown’s Alex Smith just caught a TD vs the Raiders.
I wish one of those guys would buy me a Lotto ticket. Fantasy 5?
OK, raise your hand if you had the Niners at 5-1 coming to the bye week?
Somebody “duck taped” my hands to the chair. That was for Skippy and his BFF, V
4-2 was my call Del. Somewhere Bill is smiling
Nerve wracking game but proud of our guys for fighting through all the penalties, turnovers and questionable calls.
5 AM here time to tune out. Have a great day gentlemen. Cheers!
Phil, you’re a trooper! Thanks for joining us for the in-game blog.
I like your comments. Just don’t beat me when our fantasy teams play. 😀
Cheers!
I dunno Denny, I scored 200 on old Rob today and seriously waxed his surfboard. May be hard to hold back, yaharhar
Oops! Take that back: It was the chuckster’s surfboard I done waxed today. Suckah!
To be fair Rob got lucky and squeaked me by last week by 2 FUCKING POINTS.
