Game Day – By the Time I Get to Phoenix . . .

She’ll be waiting . . .  Anyhow, this game is going to be a true test of the intestinal fortitude of your San Francisco 49ers. AZ is actually steadily improving lately. As NinerDog posted, their defense has become very stingy in recent games. The Niners have struggled in the red zone in recent games. As I said, I think getting Braylon Edwards is going to help, as the Niners HAVE to open things up some down close. Yes, the Niners should be able to win a defensive struggle against these guys, but they have a tough ST unit as well. Patrick Peterson has wn a couple gaems for AZ singlehandedly (relatively speaking), much like Ted Ginn’s opening day, and the Detroit game.  

Interesting thing is the Niners and Raiders will be playing at the same time, so it’ll be fun to see if the Raiders can put a hurting on the Packers. Call me crazy, but I think the Raiders win this. The Packers defense is very questionable. 31st in total yards, but they do get a lot of turnovers by pick-offs. Palmer, if anything, can hit the deep pases, so if Oakland can block, they should be able to light up the scoreboard. They are also pretty good at geting pressure, so you never know.

    Ok Flavor, we got our 19 now AZ needs 3 FG to make yer call 19-16

    VD was pouting like a lil’ beatch as half ended but even he has to know that he’s just not an effective receiver in the red zone. He’s good matching up against linebackers, hes fast and stuff, but he isn’t going to run some sweet route, some tight route down low. He’s the last guy I’d make the #1 option in the red zone

      And for the few and far among you who don’t know who played Sky Masterson…

    Nice throw there by Alex on 3rd down — NOT!!! Said Borat.

      You are such an insufferable girl. How ’bout this numbnuts: every time romo or brees make a bad throw, an interception or a fumble, you report it here at ‘Forever. You watch all the games, right? It might teach you to notice mistakes by other qb’s and give your dumbass a little perspective…

    The 49ers had better start taking advantage of opportunities on offense, or this game is going to get away. No more three and outs.

  6. grumpyguy's avatar grumpyguy says:

    We need to draft this year with an eye towards this Red Zone problem. It needs to be addressed.

  7. grumpyguy's avatar grumpyguy says:

    Nice hands, Delanie. Christ.

  8. grumpyguy's avatar grumpyguy says:

    Defense and Special Teams keep us winning games. The offense needs to get better.

  9. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    It’s nervous making seeing us sputter on O. Don’t think 19 points are going to be enough against AZ

    Seriously, do you people think we’re gonna beat Brees and his Saints in the Divisional Round? OK, wait, Tinker Bell just tapped my shoulder.

    I’ve been to Disneyland (World) more times than any of you mooks could imagine.
    Disneyland is my life. Always has been, always will be…

    And especially come this most special time of year…

      Just admit that you want the Niners to lose in their playoff game. If you put it in writing, instead of all the back/end-pussy-side-bar comments, I might be able to generate an measurable level of respect for you.

    TD Cards!

    Oops!

  12. grumpyguy's avatar grumpyguy says:

    We’re scoring FGs, the other guys are getting TDs.

    Not a prescription for winning today.

    Time to start moving the ball, or fall even with NO.

  13. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    Not too surprising the TD. We’re not tackling that well either. Is this the post NFC West clinching let down?

  14. Kevin's avatar Kevin says:

    WTF are we running the ball for? Did they learn nothing from the first half?

  15. grumpyguy's avatar grumpyguy says:

    Apparently not – the offense got worse after halftime, rather than better.

  16. Kevin's avatar Kevin says:

    2 runs and the D knows you have to pass!!!! What is this the visit of Christmas Ghosts past!!!

  17. grumpyguy's avatar grumpyguy says:

    I thought we’d win because of Card mistakes – they made the mistakes, but we squandered the opportunities with crappy play on offense. You cannot do that against even a semi-decent team when you’re on the road. If we lose this game, it’ll be because we did not try hard enough to win it on offense.

  18. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    So help us Baby Jesus, under the Christmas tree…

    Alex just threw a pass, 10 yds past our Christmas tree…

    Incomplete is what we see…punt the ball…the record shall see.

    Hope the Crards score again, we need to see what this coaching staff Is capable of!
