With the tough part of the schedule over, the Niners need to fatten up on their next few opponents. This starts with the Arizona Cardinals, A team that has lacked a QB since Kurt Warner got them 34 seconds away from a Super Bowl championship a few years ago. And been pretty much an atrocity since the Bidwell family took ownership 50 odd years ago. And a team that lacked any sense of style by naming itself after the baseball team it shared a city with. Really? Can’t come up with an original name? Bad form.
Anyhow, while the Niners wade through injuries and rehabs and likely suspensions coming down the line, they need to take care of business at home today. Patrick Willis is still a game time decision, VD is coming back to strength, and Justin Smith along with a bunch of others are nursing various maladies. Tank Carradine is close to being ready, as is Mario Manningham. These guys can’t get here soon enough with the state of the D line and WRs in varying states of thinness. Still and all, the defense did well against the Rams and Texans, giving up a short-field TD in the Ram game and no TDs in the Houston game. AZ isn’t exactly an offensive juggernaut, but I don;t k ow too much about the deal with them. Carson Palmer seems to be doing better than how he did in Raiderland, but other than that, I got nothing.
Scored a couple tickets to the game as well. Stub hub, and I got ’em for $40.00 under face value. On the 45 no less. Looking forward to it.
Forty Niners Forever 
And Jimbo has to burn a TO because the play clock was running down.
That shit wouldn’t happen if Manning were here.
Too bad we don’t have any red zone plays except from the field goal formation.
Yeah it’s been that way since Mooch left. Years and years now, through multiple coaches and QBs. “You don’t know what you’ve got ’till it’s gone.”
Yeah true I miss da Mooch
Crazy. Same old predictable shit
THAT’S why you need first downs and TDs.
Son of a bitch! Jumping routes can cost you, too.
Yeah Brock went for the pick
How bad are the Raiders? They traded for both Carson Palmer and Matt Flynn.
But I got that beat. How bad am I? I BENCHED Larry Fitzgerald in both my leagues today.
Too bad we don’t have Peyton Manning, we’d be up 14-7. Instead we trail by a pt.
Nice try at a screen, but too much traffic on that side. Third and long again.
Well that was a fucked up play by Brock, going for the pick and got toasted for 6.
No freaking way you give that up 3rd and long for 75 yards fechrissakes.
Yeah, the DBs are getting greedy. Got to play the coverage first.
9ers too cute with the runnin outside. Theres a 1st down- penalty
Nice pass by Kap there to VD – the LB was thinking Kap would run and let VD go.
Grump, that’s why I HATE Jim Harbaugh. He’s the reason why Peyton Manning isn’t here. He wouldn’t swallow his pride and allow “Manning to be Manning.” But you guys brought up a good name, “Mooch.” I guar-an-damn-tee you if Steve Mariucci was our HC two years ago Peyton Manning would be here. Mooch knows how to run an offense and let the QB run it.
Yeah Mooch would have been okay with Manning. Seifert, too. But probably not Walsh – his offense was his baby and his design. Only room for one genius.
Nice run – only a yard short. 3rd and 1 is a hell of a lot better tha 2nd and 18.
He might have given up too soon. Better safe with our only QB though.
Still doing the Sardine Can formations.
Even so, they only fake it. At least Singletary/Raye knew how to run a goal line jumbo power run.
Yeah… Raye’s problem was they got down there so infrequently that being decent in the Red Zone didn’t help much.
MAJOR mental error by Kap – needed to throw it away there. Rookie move.
And this RZ opportunity doesn’t even result in 3 pts. INT ‘Zona.
I’m trying to keep up with the drinking, but the offense is making it difficult…
Okay I did not see the deflection. Still not crazy with the play designs and formations.
Why the fuck is Bruce Miller the focus of our offensive attack?
Shoot me now.
It’s a Bo Schembechler Fullback thing.
Hey Del, you should have taken 8-7, and screw the pitching duel.
Nice intro to the home crowd for Lemonier….
Pitching still wins in baseball, and goaltending in hockey. But with all the new rules in the NFL favoring one side, offense wins in football.
Just like that big TD pass to VD. TD NINERS!!!
That was a smart play by Kap. Free play, so go for the kill shot.
SAFETY!!!!
Call me crazy…. but does anyone else think we should punt on first down and just play defense? LOL
Well, if you can’t get first downs i guess that works too. Nice bomb to VD.
