Seems like we’ve waded through another preseason. It has been 11 days since the Niners beat Seattle. And the NFL world has gotten more in focus. The Rams and Seattle both lost yesterday, and a win today would put the Niners in the drivers seat, 2 games up on both the AZ and Seattle, for the NFC West as we hit the bye. The blogosphere has been replete with grumblings from the national guys regarding Alex Smith and his status as a starting QB for the 49ers. Those of us not buying the bullshit know it’ll take some major suckitude to force Harbaugh into a decision to put Cappy in as the starter. This is Alex’s season, live or die.
That being said, there are two guys who ARE on the short list for being replaced as QBs. Mike (I heart dogs) Vick, and Mark (I heart NY) Sanchez. Both suffered terrible losses. the Jets lost to the fairly hapless Dolphins, while the Iggles lost to the undefeated Falcons. Philly, and their new defense promptly gave up points on Atl’s first 6 possessions, and the Iggles could never mount any kind of comeback. The good news for Vick was he weathered a game with no fumbles and no picks. Progress, I suppose, but the Iggles are 3-4, and 2.5 games out of 1st. Their playoff hopes are very dim. Their prospects after Vick however are rookie Nick Foles, and Trent (remember me?) Edwards. So, they don’t look to bench Vick. What could happen is HC Andy Reid getting his walking papers. All their aquisitions in recent memory have only served to jack up unrealistic expectations as the defense flails, and the points allowed pile up. Their line is battered, yet they want to throw more and more. Reid isn’t really protecting Vick by not trying to run more, but the defense threw that out the window yesterday by letting Atl score at will. No matter what these guys do, they are destined for failure, and what likely happens is these guys play out the string, and they make wholesale changes after this season mercifully concludes for them.
The J-E-T-S on the other hand have Jesus in their back pocket. Mark Sanchez had a terrible game yesterday as he hovered around his uasual sub-.500 completion rate, missed a ton of open guys, fumbled away on a sack, as he and the Jets yapped their way into another embarrassing loss. This time to the not-so-lowly Miami Dolphins. The curious thing to all this is the undercurrent of Timmy Tebow. Their heir apparent is also the up back on punts. Ooops. he allowed a blocked punt yeterday, and they also suffered a blocked FG to boot. So, you have to wonder, as the Jets are 3-4, but only 2 back in the suddenly weak looking AFC East, whether they take a look at Tebow as their QB going forward. I’d be for this one, only because Sanchez looked flat awful yesterday, and he hasn’t done much of anything to help his offense. The team is in disarray, and Rex Ryan appears only to want to make his team quote-worthy, or in the news for any reason other than playing good football. Might as well go full-circus mode. Tebow obviously isn’t much as a special teamer, and his running plays aren’t fooling anyone. If they DON’T start him, then why did they get him in the first place?
Give Sanchez one more start. Unfortunately, that start will be in Seattle. Not a place to revive one’s QB numbers. Actually, they should just throw Tebow into the mix. The Jets aren’t going to win that one anyway, so see if the trial by fire can somehow work out for the Jets.
Forty Niners Forever 
Wicked Defense from the Niners again.
Crabs doing good- there’s some YAC
yesssss fuckin crabs ! how’s that for rac

Man, Moss turned on the afterburners.. Can’t believe he;s still that fast.
Damn Moss, that was impressive. Great run after catch
Holy shit! Moss can still motor!
breakout game for crabs ! much more to come !
superbowl here we come !
i like jon gruden !
J Jenkins can’t break the lineup but he’ll be there when we need him
Niners have finally figured out how to get Randy Moss a TD, have Alex throw it 5 yds and have Moss run it for 42 yds!
One of the legit criticisms of Smith for most of his career was that he didn’t get those YAC because he didn’t give his receivers the opportunity for them. 5 yard pass 42 yard run? Hmmm….sounds familiar- damn, who was that QB? HOF guy…
YA Tittle?
First, take a look a little lower, something about a sense of humor, second, its great to mention QB yds but lets include the WR contributions to said yds too.
OK- I’m sure you have those figures handy for the other QBs in the league. This is a perfect example of the different standrds you guys set for Alex. Where do you see YAC in the QB stats for each game? Nowhere. Smith is 17/18 223. Live with it.
Yeah true
I turned off the sound, too much Gruden
Hes annoying
Come on, have a sense of humor
Got to love the TD to Moss . . .
Oh, Jack, you came out of the woodwork. What part of liar did you mean? My cancer, or my taking care of my Father while he died of cancer while I was still learning how to walk again.
Meet you in hell, buddy.
jack ?
You never detailed either of those. If you had I would not called you a liar about such things.. Good for you. Doesn’t make you any less stupid, however.
Thats a tough deal RT, hope life has gotten better for you.
Denny quit watching Giants games when they started winning? Ha, classic. You are dumber and crazier than I ever thought. Listen up dumbfuck, you have no influence on how the Giants do or did. None. But nice job missing one of the great performances in playoff history. You would have hated it anyway. They won. Denny no likey when the team he bludgeons to death with a 1000 negative posts wins anything.
Don’t fucking fuck with me about your fan-commitment-shit.
You are a fan of YOU. That’s it. You sit in your hole and spew out the same stupid ass posts that are designed to do one thing: draw attention to yourself. And in your distorted world, that makes you some great *fan*. What a joke.
There you go again trying to play Sigmund Freud on my ass because you attended some cheap ass liberal arts school along the left coast. Flavor, you don’t know anything about the human mind. Especially mine. Do you really think that I think by me not watching the game influences the outcome? Fucking mook. All I’m trying to do in my life right now, courtesy of my therapist, is feel more positive. Which in turn makes me feel better about myself. If by thinking that me not watching the Giants games had a positive effect on my life, where’s the harm in that?
There is none. Period. End of sentence. Did we sign Peyton Manning yet?
besides being a total fucking dooshbag who doesn’t work (you’d fit right in with the liberals on that one, right dude?) and has mental problems that require therapy I’d say there’s no harm in anything you do, Dennis.
And here’s a tip: you might want to start paying that therapist more $ or find one that can help you. You’re fucking INSANE to miss the playoffs of the team you claim to like and then somehow attribute that, weirdly, to your life being better because of it. Too funny. And yes, I am laughing at you while I write this post you fucking lunatic……….
Easy boys. It’s 24-0. Not much to go off about.
i want a sack
WTF is AZ doing kicking a FG here? Weak.
They are afraid of the shutout. Plain and simple.
not really. They closed it to 3 scores to start the 4th.
They’re trying to help me out: I called for 24-12 Niners so 3 more FGs I’m a genius…
lol
They were at 3 scores anyway.
With the 2 pt conversions.
Well 2 two point conversions were likely something they wanted to have to avoid in the 4th Q.
I thought it made perfect sense to take the fg with an entire Q to go.
