For real or not? Riding the accolades of last year, or living up to the preseason hype?
These questions, and more will be answered today, on As the Harbaugh Churns . . .
This SHOULD be a not-very-difficult game, but as we know, on any given Sunday.
Post of the Day
blade3colorado says:Hurts pass incomplete short middle to A.Brown was a gift . . . The only way this guy’s name would ever be in lights is if his parents had named him EXIT.

September 7, 2011 at 7:40 pm (Edit)
I see this Season starting with lots of motion and ground attack.
Our OL is going to take time to adjust to the new system, however, a WCO should help them once Alex and the WRs get into the necessary rhythm.
Game 1, lots of Gore and Hunter, 9ers win a close one. I do expect Harbaugh to take some deep shots though, VD and Braylon will be a nice duo.

Forty Niners Forever 
Sanchez is awful. Just awful. That ball was off target and Holmes got hurt going after it.
He was another one that the Menace was calling for.
U$C QB’s usually flunk out in the Pros 😉
There are some QBs in the league I’d trade Alex for, straight up. Some. Sanchez is NOT one of them. I’d hesitate to take him for free, actually. I don’t know if he is better long term than Tolzien. And certainly not Alex or Kaep.
Question? Who’s the most important player on a football team?
If he is indeed the most priceless, invaluable and irreplaceable member, why would you substitute him with a backup?
I know. Because he’s not very good to begin with. Bring back Jeff Garcia!
If I were a Raider fan I’d say the long snapper.
Your ignorance of this game and why they used Kappwerbow is staggering, Menace.
Shit pass by Sanchez he sucks I see dat
Tebow’s line for today:
2 carries for 0 yards, long of 2.
! pass complete for 9 yards, a fumble, and a knee injury.
No miracles so far today.
Haha!
Well, now it’s garbage time. Just run it out and get the hell out of here without anyone getting hurt.
Iupati destroyed that guy.
Niners reached my 24 call but the Jets? Not so much
Basically everyone who called fer a 9er blow out got it right
Lions are still 14 down to the Vikes, who may not be a fluke. The Rams are still up over the Seahawks – good – and Brady brought the Pats back over Buffalo.
We might get a second shot at Leslie Frazier in January if they keep improving.
They won’t surprise us next time…
We lost to the Vikes because of a terrible game plan from Fangio, who never sent a pass rush against a 2nd year QB eager to throw interceptions ( witness his numerous throws late in the middle) …
Give Ponder some credit though. He was excellent at running away from pressure and making plays on the move. He is young and will make his share of mistakes, but he can make plays.
He played well, but they didn’t go after him.
And utter ineptitude in play calling and no spark from our starting QB.
We should be running there, not throwing slants. Just get out of here healthy.
Another ugly Sanchez pass.
Wow. From ugly to Bride of Frankenstein here. The New York media is going to be eating the Jets alive tomorrow.
The best thing to happen to the Jets tomorrow would be if the fucking terrorists would hit the new World Trade Center still under completion to take away the headlines from their sorry asses.
Surely I jest.
poor taste
Larry Grant blocks one
Running the ball at will… Nice.
Lions got a TD – and Percy Harvin answers with another KO return TD.
Yeah, the UFO Coyotes are getting killed. Ponder’s been nearly shut out.
Bummer. Without the penalty, Alex tacks on about 20 to his QB rating 😉
He did not have as good a game as the first two weeks today. Got some things to work on. But he started another no-interception streak. Against the Jets, that’s about all he needed. But they won’t all be this easy.
Our next opponent, the Bills had the Pats down 21-7 at one point today. Not so much anymore. It’s 42-21 late in the 4th: 35 unanswered points by NE.
New boy Wilson just ran out of miracles for Seattle. His third INT of the day seals it for the Rams.
Beast Mode had 118 and a TD. Could not overcome the QB turnovers, though.
excellent fuck the seahawks
seconded
Chuck, Flavor, Grumpy. barley basically called the blow uot this week. Well done gentlemen
Classy, smart move by Kaep to slide short of the goal line.
Yes very nice
He slid untouched over the goal line, touchdown?
No actually he slid Short so as Not to score again. No use prolonging da agony and risk of injury he said later
So.every QB has a great game every week? You guys have a totally different standard for Alex than other QBs. “But they won’t all be this easy”..no, they won’t. And he’s shown he plays up to the level of competion, as well. See Brees, Rodgers, Stafford…
Alex done enuf to win with our RBs and our D
There in lies the rub….unless your name is Trent Dilfer or Brad Johnson, you’re not winning the SB. It’s happened twice in 46 years. If you think another “Game Manager” will win the SB this year, you’re asking to hit the trifecta. I can tell ya how hard that is to hit from many years of experience…
Guess just what happened? TD Peyton Manning! It might be a little harder now for Flav to win the total TD portion of our bet if Alex continues to sit on the sidelines when we’re in the Red Zone.
Guess what? Ain’t that a shame..
Continues to? One play? You fucking moron, take the Ledger, it’s time…
Well, if you throw picks, you’re going to lose. Ask Wilson in Seattle today. His three cost them a game today with the Rams. Alex has gotten very good at avoiding turnovers. He’s now hitting his WRs, something he did not do much last year. We’ve converted on third down, even third and long at times this year. Today we slipped back to 33% (4 of 12) but we’re still ahead of where we were last year. Overall, we’re doing pretty well. The trend is good, we seem to be gradually adding capability. The home run threat from the passing game is the one area we’re still struggling with a little. If Alex gets that going, we can beat anyone, any time.
I never said they do – just that we have stuff to work on. Throwing deep requires near perfect timing, as your receivers will be moving at full speed, far from the QB. Neither Alex nor Colin showed the requisite timing today. It’s something you have to keep doing to get good at. This is one of the last pieces we need for this team to be a legitimate SB team – the ability to strike deep when needed. Guys like Brees and Rodgers have been doing it all along. Now Alex needs to develop that timing (with someone other than VD). He used to throw pretty well deep to Antonio Bryant back under Norv; no reason in my mind he cannot develop that rapport with Moss and Crabs. We’re just not there yet.
well said grump…at least we’re taking some shots down the field finally
Yeah, like I said, you have to DO it to ever get good at it. I liked the aggressive play calling down the field today. Hopefully in two weeks time, we’ll be connecting on a couple of those to Moss and Crabs instead of just missing them.
Well, there was a holding not called on a deep ball early, and a poor effort by Mario one later. And the t throw into triple coverage by Kappy. And yes, a couple misses by Alex. What’s interesting though, is how much ball security is dismissed as “game management”. Even the Menace’s heart throb said it- the single most important thing is still having the ball after the play is over. And that’s not just safety, it requires skill and smarts to not turn the ball over- and toughness…
Good win on the road. We needed that.
Yes we did Chico. Well done guys
Wow. Carolina pinned the Falcons at their one, leading by one, one minute left. Ryan immediately completes a 60 yard pass to White. The Falcons are likely going to pull this one out.
Falcons win, 30-28.
NIners swung and did not miss against a horrible opponent.
Defense came back from last week and dominated, as it should have against a bad Jets squad.
The passing game offense needs to get it together; should have been better against a bad D and no Revis. Kaep plays are cool on the one hand, on the other, lend some strangeness and awkwardness to the proceedings. Not sure about what it says going forward about Alex’s role overall. Questions will no doubt be asked about it…
By who? Smith is the QB.
It’s great you pull for Smith, as the starting QB of the team I support so do I, but why is it a pre-requisite to ignoring the FACT that Kap contributed and did so with zeal? Or that Smith missed on the long ball as he has done so his entire career no matter who was coordinator. Face some facts while your busy with your pom poms.
It’s a nice problem to have. Called depth, insurance. Questions will be answered on the field of play and by the coaches…not us fans
Sure, but we can ask as many as we like.
Yes, true dat
Peyton’s completed 8 straight. 2 more were called back by penalty. The Broncs have gone to a no-huddle right off the bat.
I’m so fucking happy that that Pete Carroll and his Seahwags lost to the Lambs today.
He and his team had that shit coming. Fuck ’em.
I’ll be even happier if Harbaugh continues to own his sorry smug ass this year.
“What’s your deal?”
How bad was Sanchez today? 13 of 29, only 103 yards. 0 TDs, 1 INT. QBR = 39.9. That giant sucking sound? Yeah, that’s Sanchez.
Alex had an ordinary day, 78.1 QBR, no TDs, but no picks. Not his best game, but he did not hurt the team either.
You may not not like Alex, Dennis…. but between him and Sanchez, there is no comparison.
And Peyton? He is good. But he is also playing the Raiders today. Gotta keep that in perspective.
Maybe George Costanza has some elevator shoes he can loan Miss Manning.
And you think Alex (same career playoff record as Tim Tebow) Smith is Dennis’s cat’s meow. Yeah, right.
Peyton Manning is 13/17 for 134 yds a TD to start his day.
Did we sign that guy yet?
I have no idea what the fuck you are talking abou regarding Smith and Wet Brain.. And Teblow couldn’t even get the call after Sanchez sucked donkey dick all day.
Sanchez is leaving Ryan with no good options there. He clearly is not going to be a consistent winner. But Tebow is not the kind of guy who can sustain drives. He’ll hit some home runs, but he’ll also wear your defense out. I predict they’ll implode badly by December. With a NY media feeding frenzy and toxic locker room.
How many teams go out and get a QB who’s even worse than Sanchez? I’m sure Jamarcus was available.
