As the 2012 season winds down, the 49ers aren’t exactly right where they want to be. The offense has been a little spotty at times, and the defense, minus Justin Smith, is struggling pretty badly. Special teams are a shambles, and the coaching staff was pretty badlyt schooled in that loss to Seattle. They are dealing with a lot of injuries, including the recently concussed Vernon Davis, Mario Manningham, and the still -healing KW and Kendall Hunter.
In other words, the injury bug couldn’t hit the team as a worse possible time. Even still, the team has a shot to secure a bye with a win over AZ, and a GB loss to Minn. Both eminently possible. Or they could fall as low as the 5th seed if the Niners lose, Sea wins, and a bunch of other weird shot happens. Sea has a shot at that bye week. How important is the bye? Well, let’s see how the team gets through the AZ game before dealing with that. More injuries to key players would likely kill their playoff run, but a week off to healthy up would do wonders to the team’s chances. More than likely, the Niners would be facing Chicago or Minn if they play the 1st weekend, or Atl if they get the bye.
AZ comes to town looking like a team that got beaten, robbed, and left for dead in a ditch on the side of the road. They beat NE on the road, and took care of biz early to go 4-0 out of the gate. Since then? 1-10. Ouch. They are in the midst of a QB merry-go-round, and their offensive line is flat terrible at pass protection. Their run game is stalled, and Larry Fitzgerald, an otherwise top 3 WR in the league, is wasting away as the QB du jour throws shit 10′ over his head, or down near his feet. Should Alex Smith hit the market, this is his likely landing spot. Granted, he’d be dodging LBs as he tries to throw, but if AZ can build a decent enough line around him, he and the team would be solid contenders in the NFC West next year.
Forty Niners Forever 
The Vikes are doing their best early (13-0) to beat GB, but we continue to stink on ice. I’m truly embarrassed and disappointed. We’re better than this.
LMJ!!! I told y’all I loved this pick. I hated the A.J. Jenkins selection. I know my shit. I watch more college football than the most…
you hated the Aldon Smith, too.
NO. If you go back and check the records, I hated the pick just because it was another A. Smith in the 1st round. It had nothing to do with Aldon’s play at Missouri. It had everything to do with Alex Smith.
First of al, even if that’s true, how can anyone take anything you say seriously about a draft pick if your criteria is based solely on their last name? Dumbfuck. Secondly, I dimly remember several comments from you at the time where you hated the pick. If I get bored later I’ll go back and find all of them.
Yup
Akers. Shit, what a fall from grace……
Well, how predictable was that?
Why is Akers still here again?
Son of a cocksucking bitch Akers
AKERS is pathetic.
you called it
Wow, special teams and kicking FGs is a disaster right now. How can you go into playoffs with Akers and Ginn having thier heads up their respective asses? That must be remedied, get somebody else in here, even at this late date…
Miner, Flavor and phil called fer low scoring or Z win and we’re on track so far.
WTF isn’t David Akers’ head on a pike yet? I want his younger sister to die of slow stomach cancer.
Akers is worse than cancer. Cancer can be eradicated. Wide right cannot. Fuck him.
Our DBs are not making the interceptions where there is an opportunity this year.
I find it fairly hilarious that a player can get called for taunting by doing some sort of celebration dance but Gay’s allowed to actually go directly to Akers, taunt him, and that’s not a penalty……..
I think Akers is more pissed at himself than at anyone else, though.
DB lost track of Crabs.
Our season may have peaked in NE and I said at the time: “This may be our Super Bowl so lets win it”
And that’s why Kap is our QB and not Alex. Alex doesn’t make that play even in his dreams.
Yeah, Alex has never thrown a td pass. He was wide fucking open, the DB blew the coverage.
Flav, so sorry you’re still butt-hurt over the QB switch. That should tell you everything you need to know about ’em. Jimbo knows quarterbacks. I question quite a few other things, but Harbaugh has that position down pat. You can cheer for Alex when he’s a Cardinal next year…
David Akers: I want you to get this fuck where he breathes! I want you to find this nancy-boy Eliot Ness, I want him DEAD! I want his family DEAD! I want his house burned to the GROUND! I wanna go there in the middle of the night and I wanna PISS ON HIS ASHES!
That was the pin-point passing Kap showed against the Bears!Crabs is the only threat they have going
Akers kicking short. He’s hurt looks like
Crabs again
Diva has some set of hands on her…Nice catch, Crabs.
Kat LMJ is our other weapon on O, huh?
