We are getting to the crux of the season here. The Niners can hit these playoffs anywhere from the 1 seed to on down to the outside looking in. I don’t see either happening, but winning the West is the main goal. Green Bay has a little easier time of it, and they may very well pass the Niners for the 2 seed. Seattle likely wins as well tomorrow, so the Seahawks game next week could very well determine the west should the Niners lose tomorrow. I think they win, for some crazy reason. I think Kappy has a big game, and I think the defense does well enough to slow Brady and co.
I hope these guys worked on using the speed they suddenly have out there since AJ and LMJ look to get a lot more field time with Hunter, KW, and Manningham out. I would love to see more screens and passes to the flat to give these guys the ball with some green around them. If NE plays it like Miami and St Louis did, the slants will be there. Take a few shots with Randy and AJ, use the speed. Defensively? Well, the hope is we don’t start slow, as NE can jump on you pretty fast and throw up a 21 spot in short order. That being said, how is a good question. The Niners worked over GB pretty good with their base D. They didn’t do as well vs Minn and the Giants. They will likely have to throw some blitzes in despite the risk of getting burned.
Forty Niners Forever 
The prevent offense right there.
“Prevent offense” = exactly right
Yeah, Chuck. Belllycheat WILL adjust at halftime. We’d better keep scoring and be ready for them.
We have an opportunity for a monster win here, but thirty minutes left is a LONG time.
We HAVE to get more pressure on Brady in the second half. We only have one sack, and that was coverage. The elements and Pat mistakes are keeping him in check. You cannot count on containing him for a full 60 minutes. Score, and hit that SOB.
Kappy’s first pass off-line. With the cold and wet, it’s going to be really easy to stiffen up or make a mistake.
He will adjust no doubt…. Hoping for the D to continue to be freakishly good… C’mon Niners!
Nice run Gore!
Killer screen to Gore there to convert on third and 15.
gore em !!!
Run run run the ball, gently up your gut!
Receivers, except for Walker’s one mistake, have had a great game considering the conditions.
I wish my Frank was still as spry as Gore. Frank the Cat hasn’t moved that fast since the last time I tried to catch him when he knew he was going to the vet. I needed Bowman, Willis and Aldon Smith to help me sack Frank on that occasion.
Shit pass into double coverage… Dammit.
Pass was a quarter-second too late. That one is on Kappy.
To say that pass by Kap was ill-advised would be an understatement. Read the defense, you mook.
There was a window between the defenders. Kappy is not used to how fast they close in the NFL, was just a tad late.
Terrible fucking pass with all day to throw.
A big mistake by Kappy on that throw. I can live with it.
I sure love this offense.
Rufus, do you have Welker on your fantasy team? Second game in a row that the little white is taking a Forrest Gump dump. Another turnover for our D. Hat’s off to that unit…
And Gore scores on that shit? Like I said, the fake god of the universe like us tonight.
Well, they are going for it. I just think at some point NE will catch fire.
Huge play on the fumble. Now get a TD.
Whitner got his helmet right on the ball! Niner ball!
Collinsworth was right. He didn’t see the SS.
Whitner is a stud…..
