In Phoenix, the Niners Shall Rise From the Ashes

Something like that. Hey you never know. AZ is coming off 2 impressive wins, but at the expense of 2 of he worst defenses in the NFL in Chicago and New Orleans. The Niners on the other hand beat a Minnesota team that shut down the Detroit Lions pretty handily last week. Course we were folded, spindled and Rothlisbergered last week in Pittsburgh. No shame there. It just got away fast.

Which brings us to AZ. For all their recent success (sort of), they haven’t made much noise in the playoffs recently. Lots of bridesmaid shit. They have a decent defense and a fairly solid offense, if they can keep Carson Palmer upright. Kappy? Well, he’s 4-1 as a starter vs AZ with 9 TDs and only 1 pick. Seeing as AZs pass defense is Whaley, I see a continuation of the deep passing game.

As usual though this game will be decided in the trenches. Get a strong ass rush on Palmer and the DBs will be fine. No pressure means Palmer going deep. And as we saw last week, even the safeties got beat over he top. Over and over. Open up some running lanes and give Kappy time to throw and I think we get the offense rolling.

31-17 Niners.

    Hard to see us winning any of the next five playing like this. We could be 1-7 going into Atlanta.

    What a difference a year makes.

    Jesus. We look like a bunch of idiots. Pattton? 3 man rush? I missed another pick 6?

    Beautiful. 3rd and 20 and we don’t even try.

    Oh well. I guess my optimism is a little premature

    Bet the Revisionistas are coming all over themselves.

    Somewhere Jim Harbaugh is grinning and asking, “Miss me yet?”

  5. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Fuck Harbaugh. He’s the problem. You think Harbaugh would do better with his offense?

    NOW we bring the pressure.

    Jesus. Kappy short-armed that one.

  7. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Oh for crying out loud. Three INTs in the first half? Really?

    OUCH!

    Well If you’re going to be bad you may as well go all the way. Just stink it up big time!

  10. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    17 points off turnovers today in the First Half.

  11. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    I just can’t believe the 3 man rush through the first half.

    Brutal. Kap throws 3 picks the same way.
    Only bright spot was Hayne.

  13. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Why haven’t we thrown deep? What is the aversion to the deep pass?

  14. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    They can’t get there with three, or with four. And they cannot cover with 7 or 8 or 25.

    Long rough year ahead.

    Hope Baalke has his resume current. Jed has no one to throw under the bus next.

    Well, I guess we are gonna hit bottom before moving back up. No sense in living and dying with the team they obviously need a lot of work. It still doesn’t change anything, we just get to watch em grow that’s all. Nothing new for 49er football.

    Can we climb back in it guys

    Oh no
    Not our day
    Bad game for kap

  18. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Well, winning would take a bit of a miracle. But at the very least you get to see the character of your guys – who keeps fighting to the whistle, and who just hangs their head and gives up. That is something worth knowing too.

    Wilhote with the whiff.
