Strange Days
Going into this season, the San Francisco 49ers were pegged as division favorites. All seemed well. Quarterback Alex Smith finally showed evidence he’s capable of leading an offense. Tight end Vernon Davis stepped up as a leader as well as one of the best at his position. The defense looked dominant [...]
49ers: Jekyll and Hyde
The 49ers seemed to be like Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde last season. In this case, Jekyll is desireable while Mr.Hyde is as always self-destructive.

maaaaaaaaaaaan how do u not score from that close
The refs really hate the niners…
O SHIT WE LOSE AGAIN!! i need to stop watching b4 i give my self a heart attack or just start drinking more.and again more penalties in the 4th like usual and im just stressed…… is the season basically over now if so i need to stop watching…
JUST THE DUMBEST CALL THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE………. THE NINERS ARE DONE AND THEY ARE PATHETIC, THEY DESEREVE EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO THEM THIS YEAR AND BEYOND….
man fuck!!!! the niners did a stupid ass play at the end
OK it’s 3rd down and the ref’s are gonna start the clock at 4 seconds left….SPIKE THE MOTHERFUCKING BALL AND GET THE RIGHT PLAY CALL IN THERE!!! WHERE THE FUCK WAS FRANK GORE IN THAT SPOT, WTF? ROBINSON UP THE MIDDLE?
EXACTLY RIGHT MIKE, HAVE THE NINERS EVER HEARD OF PLAY ACTION TO VERNON DAVIS???
HOW DO YOU NOT GIVE GORE THE BALL ON THAT PLAY??????? Whoever made that call needs to be fired!!! Our O line and D line need to be completely overhauled!!!! Shaun Hill is GARBAGE!!!
It seems like whatever we do, we still cant win. One thing is sure though. I think we are headed in the right direction under Singletary. It was def a rollercoaster ride. Man…If Gore stays up and runs in….so close.
and gore needs to learn how to catch the ball on 3rd down
Gore is Alright in my book. Defense of line will never pressure the QB. Did we even sack Warner?
and if frank gore scores a rushing td we have a better chance of winning too
What about that play with with bruce and commiting a penalty? Refs did look a little suspicious
i dont think we ever did sack warner
I saw about two knock down on Warner but I think he completed the passes
Like what i seen…showed heart
as for J. Hill and Morgan….not mad, not mad at all…
Sing got our team playing with heart, had me up all game…
Cant wait until next week,
And for all of u dat r going to pick apart all da flaws, FUCK ALL YA’LL
and yea, im mad we aint got dat win
Am i the only one who saw the cardinals rip gores helmet off by the face mask on the last play? Where the FUCK was the CALL????? How can you miss that. The ref predetermined who would win and made it so.
Warner stats 32/42 328 yards 3TD’s Compliments of our defense of line
Caribulou, I didn;’t see it but I will look at the replay. I dont knock on the refs much. But it looked like they were on the payroll.
Just check the shot of it from over head you can see him grab his face mask and literally pull his helmet off. Thank god for DVR. I also hate espns coverage. They hardly did any instant replays of the suppossedly niner penalties. Most other nets works always show them. Funny huh? Also can ESPN get rid of those idiots in the both. God I want to freaking punch my tv just to get them to shut up.
Walt Harris should not start next game. He gave up play after play tonight
Fuckk all dat payroll shit….was a good game…
Sing is our man, last play call pulled my heart out, but Sing will learn form dat…
Look at last week, I still feel good and Mad…
on another note Cards still got a hard road, da aint played who we played and da STILL R DA SAME OLD CARDS…
We gotta stay focused and string some wins, or just keep n da game so we can build on it….
Players will want to play for Sing, da kno he cares and aint scared of change….Fuck a Holgram ect.
I like what i seen in the young wideout Jason Hill and i think thats cause him and Shuan Hill practice so much together but its good to see he is coming alone. We need a Dline and can get some sacks yea i seen Justin get in there sometime but he was just a little to late each time we need someone on the other side of him
jeremy…who u want n walts place? Really he’s da best u can blame
Jeremy, West is right. Defenseline played like ass. They made our whole team look bad. Harris is OK.
There u go, spend a little time on da d- line…. new u had it n u
Thanks
im not putting the whole game on him trust me i would love a D-Line that can give us 3 or 4 sacks a game we need dat we really do
Golden…. da truth is im not really as upset as i been n da past…. i like what im seeing and da look like da got a new spark…. im seeing differnet players n and our o line did look alot better, alot of dat could have been Sing shifting players or getting on Martz on play calling….
I keep thinking to myself da pounding like da Bears did wit Walter….
Also Hill wit da check downs
yea West, the team did have a spark. The bye week (preparation) prob had something to do with it also.
very true
i agree with west,Singletary is our man,But with that last play we should have at least tried to run frank gore the other way or pass there but at the same time we should have ran it a little more so Hill didn’t throw them 2 interceptions.But i am happy i finally seen Jason Hill have more (i was hoping for a while too see if he was good)of a opportunity and O.G. Chilo Rachal.
da even had McDanold at DT….c what is n for next week…
1 thing i would like to c changed is Nate playing so far off da ball…. ive heard of respect but dam i c to much respect time and time again…. I do like Nate and think its more on our D assignment
i don’t think i need to put my 2cents into what the hell the 49ers are thinking!! someone needs to hook me up with a application for a coaching job for the San Francisco 49ers. all i’m asking for is around 250k…about 3/4 less then what there payin stupid ass martz. come on man…what the hell were u thinking. i coulda came up with a better call than that!! i guess the living room is a better view of what the hell is going on than on the sidelines. i thought alot of offensive coordinators stay up in the coaches booth so they can see what we can, on our couches.
Crazydave…. n time we should see Rachal ahead of Wragge….Sing wants da best.
Johnson wont b wit us next year,lol…. Morgan an Hill i hope get more looks
our blitzes were picked up all night, however, Warner was extremely accurate as well.
Great fight, upset we lost, however, went into a hostile enviorment and fought to the end. Turnovers are the key though!!!
It’s like a cut that won’t stop bleeding…….
Justin Smith got close twice one time a lineman pushed him away before he could get his 2nd arm around Kurt….he had kurt but stupid kurt threw the ball at the last second
Wats up with the time management? Jason Hill caught the ball with 40 sec left Hill sat around looking to see wat to do duh im at home jumping up and down going crazy saying “spike the ball spike it”.
I like Singletary as r coach and I like that Jed looks like he does actually care I wish his parents would give him the team already.
Defense where are you? YOU CANT KEEP PLAYING 15 YARDS OFF THE WR’S U CANT WIN LIKE THAT.
OH YEAH THE REFS HAVE HATED THE NINERS FOR A WHILE NOW. AND I DID SEE BRUCE GET RAPED IN THE ENDZONE AND NO FLAG CAME OUT. BUT IF WE BARELY TOUCH SOMEONE AFTER A PLAY THE FLAG COMES OUT B.S
at some point i got to find a new hobby,because the refs are killing the league and im sick of so many rules you cant really play tackle football any more its 2 hand touch ……basically!!! you cant bump the quarterback cant touch a wide receiver and even the refs are in our damn passing lanes…ever since football betting has been aloud in Vegas have you noticed that no team is predictable any more…even the colts are fuck ups this year……makes me wonder if its about money any more.
Well, it’s nice to know we were able to go into Arizona and challenge a pretty good team. But, we should have won this one. I mean, we were pretty much already done for the year. But, if we would have won this one, we might have had an outside chance of catching the Cards. Now, we are officially done. That last play was ridiculous.
Though, I still think Shaun Hill does a better job of managing the game. True, he also turned the ball over. But, I think he did a decent job. Neither he or O’Sullivan is a starting caliber QB. That’s obvious. But, overall, I thought Hill did a serviceable job. And, Singletary, as I thought he would, has brought life to this team. Now, let’s just hope he can keep this team alive despite being basically done for this year. Hopefully, this won’t turn into a Haslett in St. Louis deal where the team is better at first, then just goes right back down the toilet. I guess next week against St. Louis will be the perfect test for that, huh?
Can someone be with me on this playing 15 yards off the WR its getting crazy now. And why cant we Blitz? Shaun Hill is a gamer but he started to look like Jt O’Turnover.
TURNOVERS R GETTING OLD I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE

4)KENTWAN BALMER (JUST FOR BEING R #1 PICK)
5)SHAUN HILL
6)FRANK GORE
I’ve never liked Tony Korn Hole…
If Shaun Hill plays like Shaun Hill for the entire game we win. But he turns into JT…… sigh…. so close…. The last 2 offensive calls…. WTF??? NO intentional grounding on Warner because the receiver was 6 yards away??? Didn’t matter anyway…. sigh…
lol on Balmer for being the number one pick.
Yea this loss sucks…we went away from the run at bad times.still got inches away from a W….and it was weird that we ran 1 play action the entire game..
It also proves that Martz is horrible at clock management and can’t decide what to do in crucial situations. He did it all the time in St. Louis. Niners had better effort and I was surprised they hung in as long as they did.
Draw play up the middle with Robinson with Gore split wide left? What the fuck was Martz thinking?! How about a play action with the option for Hill to throw or to run it in. Or how about another reverse to Rossum? Something imaginative, but a draw play up the middle to out of all people Robinson? Im still scratching my fucking head. Other than that, same old story, PENALTIES, TURNOVERS, PENALTIES, and more TURNOVERS. On a positive note, Hill obviously has better pocket presence than JTO as far as ball security and manages the offense well. Cant hang this one on Singletary, our guys were fired up especially after Rossums awesome kickoff return. One last note, another ex-Niner bites us in the ass. Game saving tackle by Chike Okeafor? Who? The bitch didnt do shit while he was with us and he comes up with the takle (more like a trip) to prevent Gore from scoring. Its just not our year.
I hope Kornheiser liked the taste of his words when our D shut down the top-scoring offense on that last possession to give us the ball in great field position with plenty of time left. Props to the receivers on picking up the yards and getting out of bounds. I can’t agree with you all more on what in the world was going on there in the last 30 seconds. We obviously need to work on S. Hill and M. Martz’s clock management and decision making. How about a wildcat formation on that last play with Robinson and Gore in the backfield – no S. Hill. Roll to one side, give Robinson three options… take it if he sees an opening, pitch it to Frankie, or have the TE release on their block and flank out to the corner pylon. Seriously, anything is better than trying to shove it up the gut like we tried all night. What else would they be expecting? Gore was so close on that last run if he could have just gotten his balance. J. Hill almost made it in after that awesome catch to get them so close. Grrrr!!! I too, saw the helmet ripping. No flag on that, but Vernon gets a flag for taking his own helmet off after a TD. Hmmm.. seems shaky to me. I like what I see from Sing. Can’t wait for next week.
This season is lost. Its time to see what McClueless’s picks can do out there. Start Chilo and Balmer and lets analyze them for the last 7 games so we can see if they have any skills on the field. Theyve collected enough splinters in the ass already, its time to see what their made of. I always knew J. Hill should be in there rather than A. Battle. Hes proven that. Hill has better hands, runs nice routes, and is also faster.
