I’m sure you guys don’t remember that old Woody Allen movie that had Gene Wilder drinking Woolite at the end of it. Not sure how these guys tied us at out house and then proceed to lose in their house to the lowly Jets, but that’s football. Some teams match up well with others, some just get your number that day.
And, seeing as that last Ram game very well may be the last start of Alex Smith’s 49er career, at least he went out on a good note. His last throw was a TD to Michael Crabtree, and his last game and 1/3 he was 25-27 for 304 yards and 4 TDs. Anyhow, I’m not here to bury Alex, but to praise him. Or is it the other way around?
This does however, for all intents and purposes, appear to be the start of the Colin Kaepernick era no matter what Jim Harbaugh says. My thought is the Niners come out and try their new QB out and go a little more pass happy. Some of this is due to Kendall Hunter being out, but some of this is due to just getting the kid some more work. They need to get Cappy up to speed for the playoffs and we have 5 games to get this right.
I hope this isn’t going to be as crappy as the last Ram game, but I seriously don’t think the Niners let this one get away.
99.5 yard drive. Not bad.
Shit. We are one Ram TD and 2-pointer from another fucking tie, here.
Now that was a fine drive but it would have been nice to get 7.
the o-line just doesn’t seem to be getting it done. early start?
At least the offense looked alive on that drive. Get a 3 and out and get some momentum going.
Yeah but Kap is doing it all with his arm. No running game at all.
Gore at 1 for 23, 16 more carries for just another 20 yards.
Kappy having an Alexly efficient day, 17 of 25, 169 yards, no big mistakes.
The last drive pushed him up to a C+, a far better grade than Smith would have been given here..Efficent, as you say, but 10 points…meh.
A drive to run out out clock lifts him to a B. That’s an extremely fair mark.
The real problem here is not Kap vs. Alex today – it’s no rushing yardage since Gore’s one long run. This offense starts with the power run. Without it, it’s tough sledding.
We could have used Hunter today, to attack this defense at the edges. Nothing doing up the middle.
Shitty coverage and tackling by Bowman. Inexcusable to give up that 3rd and long.
LMJames must fumble every snap in practice
yep hope they activate him. Use Jacobs more too
Net yardage minus penalties = 150 today
It’s actually 160 total net yards
No fake punts today? Fisher must have left his testicles in the locker room.
Well here comes your game. Run four minutes and change off the clock and win, or not.
Might see A.J. Jenkins here out of necessity with Mario hurt.
He;’s hurt?
Yep. Out with a shoulder injury.
This looks like one of our old 10:00 AM starts. Zombie-like in every facet of the game.
Well that’s one way to get some rush yards.
This game reminds of the one in Houston back in 71.The camera pans to the stands and shows a fan flipping the bird.
Ouch. Disaster started with the low snap. Gotta just eat that one instead of trying to make something out of nothing.
ouch that hurts
WTF? Stupid, stupid, stupid play.
Um….F?
