Here we are at the muchly anticipated home opener at the house that Satan built, if you believe the Candlestick 49er fans that didn’t quite get the temp difference between east SF and the South Bay. Can you say 30 degrees? Thankfully, this game is in the evening so the heat (!) factor will be minimized somewhat.
Anyhow, on the the game. On paper, the Bears appear to have a pretty potent offense, what with Brandon Marshall and young phenom Alshon Jeffries to go along with their bruiser at RB in Matt Forte. They of course are led (?) by the always entertaining Jay Cutler. A guy fairly similar to Tony Romo in that they can play very good football for small to medium stretches, and then lay some big steamers when you need a win.
Thing is, what they do does present a challenge defensively for the Forty Niners. They run well behind Forte, and they have quick-strike ability with their WRs. Their weakness, like Dallas last week, is their defense. I mean really. Giving up 200 yards on the ground to Buffalo is not good at all. Which is why I think the Niners play keep-away. We aren’t going to see that first 8 plays be passes. We are going to run. Hopefully out of our 2-3 WR sets like last week. No jumbo, please.
Beyond that, it’s the opening of the new stadium. I’d love to predict a blow out, but Jimbo doesn’t seem to have that bone in his body.
I’m thinking 28-20 in another game not as close as the score makes it seem.
Forty Niners Forever 
So much for the Super Bowl Chumps on the road!
Hey Yeah!!! Squaks 1-1. Bring on Levi Stadium home field advantage in the playoffs!!!!
Hell Yeah!!!
If Blaine Gabbert showed one third the heart of the Rams’ 3rd string qb, Austin Davis, just showed in his first ever NFL start, Gabbert would still be the Jacksonville starter. They said that Davis kid broke some Favre records in college. Pretty firey and impressive kid.
The Chargers beat the Seahawks? I mean, they’re ok and all and I know it was at home, but it looked like it was never in doubt (at least in the box scores). Seahawks losing to an average team suggests they might have been bit with that “we win now we lose” bug……
The Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals (for the moment) are alone in 1st place.
That wasn’t supposed to be a reply but hey it works lol.
They suck on the road. If SD dioesn’t go soft on D last week, they’d be 2-0. They go prevent too often and stop doing what got them to the end withthe lead. They give up more big 4th quarter leads than anyone. But the diff today was they kept up the pressure.
Shit, I lost LeSean McCoy, Eric Berry, DeSean Jaackson, and AJ Green 5 minutes into the early game.
Alex Boone to start tonight……
Seattle losing on the road to SD means absolutely nothing…
until we can prove we can beat Seattle IN Seattle, we shall remain their bitches…
Lynch!!!!
Del – You’re full of shit. It means we’re a game up. Has Pete Carroll ever beat us at home? We hold serve at home, and stay a game up, the playoffs go through Levi Stadium…. which is the entire difference. Like I said, you’re full of shit.
Now they’re throwing an RG Knee Subway commercial at the masses…
I think Jared ate his ankle. I tried to tell you people he was going to get injured coming out of college. It’s the same when one looks at the conformation of a horse in the auction ring. He was built wrong — from the waist down. Skinny legs that were not portioned to the rest of his body.
Happy Birthday Crabtree!!!
That was not a pick!
49ers better get the pigskin back!
72° and sunny here in downtown Pinole. Just a tad too high with the humidity however. Hope you’re enjoying our 49er game from your locale.
Go DeBerg!
Fuck. 2,000 penalties and it’s the 2nd quarter.
This is today’s NFL. I think Harbaugh’s going to run now.
“Today’s NFL?”
It’s better than today’s 49er’s.
We’re are a fucking goddamn pathetic POS team to its very core. If there were a goddamn piece of shit pathetic worthless piece of shit GOD , he’d be wearing red and gold now.
I’m ashamed to call myself a 49er fan at this very moment.
I want Jim Harbaugh’s head on a spike.
Fuck us!
Why the fuck are we running Kappy?
This penalty a minute stuff is ruining the NFL game. It’s getting damn near unwatchable. Boldin called for a hold on that TD was total garbage. Gore had a great TD run, but nope, some Zebra saw something that didn’t happen. Again. 3 penalties on one punt on one team? Ridiculous…
Bears suck.
Niners should be up by 24…
Almost a penalty call every other play. Unreal…
I have no life.
Iupati whiffs on the run block. Stevie Wonder makes a nice play..
Wow. Terrible play call. Don’t like that shit.
