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.
Iupati sucks.
Got to the 11, three inside runs and FG. Not one shot at the endzone.
First and goal on the 4.
3 run calls up the butt. Stuffed.
Roman gets near a goal line, and takes that line as a signal to stop and kick a FG.
Unreal…
I hope Barley’s OK. He played 4 players short today.
Actually I didn’t mind the 3rd down call. They had 4 WRs. The 2nd down call was the shit one. Waste of a down. Iupati is missing run blocks every damn series.
We NEED to blitz Cutler. This fucking 4 man rush is shit.
Freakin pathetic play calls at the goal line ! Roman should be tar’d and feathered.
Best Bear’s offensive play tonight — the penalty flag…
Annnnnd the penalty brigade. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck. Too much time to throw. and every pass play is a penalty.They are throwing everyu play. BLITZ HIS ASS, FNAGIO!
23 penalties in this game is takin the fun out of watching this mess.
Those 3 inside runs in a row looks pretty stupid now.
Wow. This os turning into shit. Think we’ll blitz?
Wow. Can’t stand this defense. Kappy ain’t helping, but that was the same damn 8 yard out we run a million times.
Bears had no business being in this game. Now they lead it.
Time to bring out some offense now, Roman.
I saw replay twice on that pick, I still don’t get how Crabby lost it…
Nothing like getting our asses handed to us in the1st game at the new diggs!
Shit,Kap telegraphed that throw to Crabs like he did to Sherman in the playoffs!!
Kaep is playing like his shit don’t stink. Time to get back to basics before this one gets away.
Kaep sucks big time. What a shit head.
This is starting to have a “Kevin Elster” feel to it
No d uh? Niners look to be the ones with no D
Niners SUCK in their own stadium.
Martin’s getting owned.
Martin reminds me of Chilo Rachal.
Whatever the result, it’s a reality check for this team. Especially the coaching staff. 1st and goal and you don’t even throw a pass into the endzone, with all your receivers available. Idiotic…
