Week 12 is upon us and your San Francisco 49ers are in the drivers seat for that last coveted playoff spot. Expectations have changed dramatically during this tumultuous season. The 49ers defense has pretty much stayed true to course. The offense on the other hand has regressed badly among questionable play calling, fair to poor quarterback play, and injuries to Kappy’s wide receiving corps. Which at times have resembled corpses out there. Win all their games with teams not named Seattle, and they are in. Lose this next one, and with an AZ win, the Niners would be back out in the cold. As of now, the Niners own the 6th spot over AZ because of their better divisional record. Which makes this Ram game all the more important.
The good news for the Niners is they are currently 2-1 in division games while AZ is 0-3. Beat the Rams and they could lose to AZ in that last game, tie with AZ, and still get the 6th spot, providing Seattle does us the favor of beating AZ. Which brings us to the Rams. A team that has had a schizophrenic run this year. They’ve had 2 two=game winning streaks, and 3 two-game losing streaks. Along the way, they’ve played awful (after Sam Bradford went down to injury), and some great performances as Kellen Clemens has settled in as the QB. Most recently, speedster Tavon Austin had a coming out party in the beat-down of Indy in their house and, last week, a trouncing of the Chicago Bears and their once-highly-touted defense.
For sure this is a different team than the one the Niners trounced in their house way back in September, but defensively, they haven’t changed too much. Gore ran wild, over 150 yards rushing, and I’d think we would start out trying this strategy. Michael Crabtree should make his return to the field in this game, so we will finally have out complete set of WRs. Something that should also loosen up the running lanes. The Niners were missing Patrick Willis and Aldon Smith in the previous game with these guys and handled them easily, even with their starting QB in there. The biggest difference between this game and last is the emergence of 1st round WR Tavon Austin. He of the slow start and instant sensation these past couple games.
I’m hoping we handle these guys fairly easily, but I haven’t been very right this year. Except for game 1. Besides, we have out secret weapon, safety Chad Hall.
Forty Niners Forever 
So, regressing back to poor to good play calling. Pussy call on 3rd down, don’t play to win kick the FG!! Fuck this play calling. Brady, Brees, Maninning, would have gone with the pass to get the first down!!
Nice of the Cards to lose today. They suck on the road…
Sweated that game Snarkk.
I didn’t see it, just the score…
Cards came back from 24-7 down, nail biter with some questionable calls…
Shotgun baby!
Quick hitters, shit, Roman is figuring this out?
Atleast Roman or probably Kap said fuck him I’m running today! Fuck holding me back.
How the fuck is that a penalty? This league sucks. I hope Goodell is happy.
He’s losing a lifetime fan because of his actions.
CK7 looks good today. Nice to have the weapons back.
Way too many bullshit calls though. Let ’em play the game.
Agree, flag football…
There you go. Boldin’s on fire. Stupid fucking penalty call there. There’s 8 guys tied up and falling down. That’s not a penalty. WTF is wrong with reffing these days? I guess I shouldn’t complain with all the calls the Rams are getting.
I tell ya though, having crabs out there is opening up running lanes for Kappy.
I agree on these calls. How was that a penalty on hitting a “defenseless receiver”? WTF? It helped the Niners, but the next one will help the Rams. Ridiculous…
It was the forearm to the helmet.
NFL is turning into the NBA…
Yup. If they want to call things like that, they should flag every play.
Challenge the spot! Harbaugh/Mangini are the fucking worst.
No shit. There’s one to challemge.
Damn. Reid needs that.
Hold ’em to 3 here and I’ll be happy.
Justin Smith is having a game. He seems to be heathying himself up.
Be nice to see an effective 2 min offense.
FUCK!
Not blasphemy, but the god’s honest truth: Bowman > Willis. Been that way for awhile now.
agree and it’s the truth but Willis isn’t 100%
Neighbor’s B-Day. Free pizza and ice cream. Be back for the 3rd Q. 😛
free vodka ok but pizza and ice cream?
This a a typical Jim Harbaugh game. No one should be surprised.
If running Gore on a sweep fails miserably 4x, do you run it a 5th? If you’re Roman, I guess you do…
I hate to see Gore on anything outside as it’s rarely successful. Sometimes it serves to set something up later in the game though. Oh wait, that was Walsh, nevermind.
What a stupid cunt, snatch, twat, first series. EVERY fucking team knows the niners will run with a lead. Harbaugh is a stupid mother fucking cum drinker
Makin’ your folks and elementary school English teachers proud.
Tells how you really feel about the play calling
Rams are really coming hard on the rush. Ripe for a screen, draw, etc. Or, at least I would think so. There might be one of each in the playbook. Somewhere…
need indiana jones to find it.
