This is the 3rd straight division game for the Niners in the semi-interrupted path to the playoffs. This on paper looks like a game that should be a good old fashioned stomping. The Rams are a fairly non-descript team with what was thought to be a up-and-coming QB, Rookie of the year, SAm Bradford, and all-world RB Steven Jackson. Well, things ain’t going well. After firing Mike Martz in 2006, they’ve gone through Joe Vitt, Scott Linehan, Jim Hanslett, Steve Spagnulo (10-38!), and now Jeff Fisher.
After his rookie success, Bradford has struggled with injuries and inconsistency. The defense has been a continual work in progress, and the Rams promising 3-2 start has devolved into a 3 game losing streak.
Trap game? Looking forward to the 7-1 Bears next Monday night? Well, I don’t think so. I think we see a good dose of running down their throat, and play action. A methodical dismantling similar to the AZ game.
This may make the Niners think twice about dressing only 2 QBs in future. When Alex goes down, they may limit Kappy’s repertoire of possible plays so they reduce his risk of injury. That’s not really an optimal QB situation. Kyle Williams handing off to Gore isn’t exactly a great game plan for an extended period of play, if Kappy somehow got hurt…
KNBR confirms Alex with a concussion, out for the rest of the game…
Saints over Atlanta, 31-27
dressing only 2 qb’s sounds risky but how often do you go through 2 qb’s and have to turn to an emergency qb? Not often. I think they need to just let Kappy call the plays from here on out today—whatever he’s comfortable doing, get him running around, ad libbing, etc….
Well, dressing 2 QBs is always cool, until the starter goes down. As I remember in the “old days”, teams regularly activated 3 QBs. Bono was the poster boy for years for the clipboard Niner QB…
Ask Freddie Solomon. I remember when it happened.
Yeah Snarkk,should have Tolizen in reserve.Kyle Williams is not an option.The good news though,Williams wouldnt be playing the Giants.
Colin’s evasiveness should enable a receiver or two to get open deep if the Rams dial up some blitzes.
Amendola is so quick
Shit,needed a stop there to start the 2nd half.
Hey our 3rd string QB fumbles just like Kappy&Smith as well.
All on the D today.
lucky
Kap throwing high, too excited, needs to calm down a little.
Fucking Amaedola is one fast white boy.Thank god that one was called back.
Delay?
Damn I’m good.
Okay let’s look at the Niners, you pick up WR, Moss and company, you have a year to develope pass formations. So what does Harbaugh do, stick with the running game and hope your defense can keep you in the game. The Niners went 13-3 last year, strike year! Thought Harbaugh was going to change things up this year. Other than the Buffalo game, I see no difference between this offense and Singletary and Nolan. Yes Harbaugh has used the passing game better than those other two clowns, but just barely!
Spot of the century
What the hell was that!!!
Steven Jackson just punked our D. right there. Pa-the-tic.
Dashon, Dashon, Dashon. Harbaugh’s look says it all.
