It's Back to the Drawing Board for Mike Singletary and the 49ers

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 02:42:10 +0000

The San Francisco 49ers again did not show up in a game this time against the Green Bay Packers. While the 30-24 score represents a valiant effort in the second half by the 49ers, the question remains: What happened in the first half? In the first half, 49ers fans were treated to the same issues that have been plaguing the 49ers all season long. That is poor offensive line play, a lack of any rational play-calling, poor tackling, a soft secondary, and absolutely no pass rush. With those issues, it's not hard to understand how the Packers scored 23 points in the first half. I will say the defense did a good job in holding the Packers to field goals after some big plays by the Packers offense. Other then that though, there really wasn't anything positive going for the 49ers in the first half. Offensively the 49ers ran only 18 plays the entire half, while the Packers ran 48 plays. It also didn't bode well for the 49ers that Frank Gore only had five carries in the first half and in total had ...

Green Bay-San Francisco: Why the 49ers Didn't Beat the Packers

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:07:44 +0000

Everyone involved in football, including the players, coaches, management personnel, and owners, all know what the San Francisco 49ers want to be. They want to be a team that wins in the trenches. According to their head coach Mike Singletary, the 49ers win with a tough physical defense and an offense that relies on a smash mouth running style of football. If this is the case, then why are the 49ers second to last in the league in amount of three-and-out possessions? Why do they continuously lose the time of possession battle? Why do they continue to put the ball in the hands of their mediocre quarterback Alex Smith? San Francisco's 30-24 loss at the hands of the Green Bay Packers on Sunday exemplifies all that is wrong with the 49ers. The 49ers offense fails time and time again to utilize its best assets. Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree were held to just one catch each in the first half. Smith completed just three passes for five total yards before halftime. However, that wasn't the ...

How the 49ers Can Beat the Packers

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:22:50 +0000

After the San Francisco 49ers broke their four game losing streak by narrowly beating the Chicago Bears last week, the team had a couple days to relish in the victory. However, three days after pulling out their first win since week four, the division leading Arizona Cardinals matched the 49ers with another win of their own. Unfortunately for San Francisco, the Seattle Seahawks couldn't hold onto a seven point half-time lead and the Cardinals now remain two full games ahead of the 49ers. If the red & gold have any hope of making the playoffs this year, it will have to come by winning the division. And in order for that to happen, the 49ers are going to need to win a game in which they have no business winning. The only two games remaining on their schedule that fit this profile are at the Philadelphia Eagles and later in the year at the Green Bay Packers this weekend. If you aren't a follower of either the Niners or the Pack, you might not be aware of just how little success San ...

Fantasy Football Thursday Night Prediction: You Can Win With Davis

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:13:22 +0000

Vernon Davis was listed as a bust before this season, because he never truly had his break-out season. But 2009 has been the year of the tight-end and Davis has been one of the best. Tonight Davis gets the defenseless Chicago Bears defense that has everybody injured. I would start all my Niners and most of my Bears in fantasy football for what should be a high-scoring game. If you are a Matt Schaub owner, then try out Alex Smith as a bye-week flyer. Smith has had a big bounce-back season and won't disappoint tonight. Michael Crabtree will get the injured Charles Tillman in single coverage so expect a big game from him as well. Frank Gore should run wild and also have a huge game. On the Bears side, you can never sit Jay Cutler since the Bears defense is so bad that they are always forced to throw. If you have been stuck with Matt Forte for this long then you can't sit him tonight, because he will be involved in the passing attack more than the rushing attack. Prediction : SF 27 CHI 21 ...

Frank Gore ran for 104 yards and a touchdown, Jay Cutler threw a career-high five interceptions with his last coming in the end zone on the game's final play and the San Francisco 49ers snapped a four-game losing streak by beating the Bears 10-6 on Thursday night. Niners quarterback Alex Smith won for the first time in eight starts since Week 2 in 2007, 17-16 against St. Louis -- but it was interesting until the end.

Will the Real San Francisco 49ers Please Stand Up?

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:56:58 +0000

The San Francisco 49ers came into the 2009 season as a run-first, run-second, pass-if-necessary type of football team. Why did they start the season that way? Because their best player wears a jersey with No. 21 on the back. Everyone who claims to be part of the San Francisco "faithful" knows that the 49ers offense is centered around tailback Frank Gore. Wait, check that. Everyone who claims to be an NFL fan knows that the 49ers offense is led by Frank Gore. Over the last few seasons, Gore has given the 49ers a running game equal to a Grade A steak. However, over the last few seasons, the 49ers have had a quarterback equal to Grandma's over-cooked turkey on Thanksgiving. Now to begin the season, the 49ers marched out to a 3-1 record with the combination of over-cooked Turkey and Grade A steak. Of course, the larger portion of the meal was Grade A steak, and the over-cooked turkey did just enough to keep the total meal positive in the minds of the consumers. However, when the ...
