Sorry, Yoko.
Game #9 of the season is here, the bye week and break is over, and the team has re-tooled with the addition of Aldon Smith, Mario Manningham, Eric Wright, and Tank Carradine. Aldon Smith likely comes in as a situational pass rusher, so he’ll get some snaps on defense. 15-20 I’d think. Unless Carolina gets pass happy. The rest? Not sure. I’d like to think super Mario gets some serious playing time as the Niners are going to need to throw the ball to get the run game going. And they need more than VD and Boldin to get the passing game going. If the Niners can get the passing game going early, that should open up the run game.
Carolina for their part plays defense much like the Niners. They rely on their front seven to control the game. They don’t blitz very much, and they stop the run an good as anyone without having to stack the line. They maintain their gaps and fill the running lanes. Which is why I think the Niners need to pass early to open things up. Carolina often only rushes 4 and covers with 7 so it is imperative that the Niners get people open. Miller has been serving well as a check down safety valve type guy recently, and we have Manningham back. Carol hasn’t faced a mobile QB like Kappy, and Carol’s star LB Luke Keuchly has been burned a couple times on seam routes, so the chances should be there.
I don’t think this one will be easy, but we are coming off our break, and they are traveling across the country. Niners win going away.
Forty Niners Forever 
Fuck 1st VD concussion out,Now Reid looks like one as well,he was run over.
Uh, if Carolina scores a TD, we can pretty much turn off this game. This shows what pathetic teams the Niners have played during the 5 game win streak!! The Niners OC had plenty of chances to get the passing game going, and he did not!!! Now they are paying the price in this game. And the Niner defense is the one looking like it is starting to wear down.
Even the Annoucer just called out the Niners non existent passing game. Wow, wow
Who did Gin play for??? 😳😳😳😳
Niner D is wearing down and the O has nothing going except Gore so far. Have to cut the O loose soon or else.
God thing this is the Chiefs bye week. Otherwise we would have to hear about the 10-0 A Smith Chiefs.
So if the Niners Offense is dead last in passing, I wonder what the Chiefs are ranked?? Anyone want to look that up??
Laster? More last?
Okay this the first time the Niners have had to play from behind. If I see two runs and a pass 😡😡😡😡😡
1 of 10 on 3rd down ain’t gonna get it done.
No shit!!
RT Davis is playing like shit.
1 an 11 and counting.
3 and out? Anyone surprised?
You know it’s a bad day when Andy Lee has a short punt. Field position game being won big time by the Panthers. Need a pick 6 or at least some kind of TO.
Yes a pick six, cause the Niner receivers are not catching passes, maybe the back field can??
starting field position on the 1/2 yd
Get ready for 3 runs. Oh and that will be 3 and out
Why oh why is he under center??
huge play
followed by a shit one
Damn down the field passes would be nice
wow, such desperate play just to get a few yards. Right side of the O line getting beat up almost every play.
