What We Learned: 49ers @ Rams

Dec 21, 2008 61 Comments by Niner Pundit

Edit: Below is what I wrote with about 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter. And reading everything below, most of it hasn’t changed to much, but let me edit by saying for 54 minutes the team played like crap, but in six minutes they changed a lot. Oh and I love Josh Morgan. Funny how things can change in a matter of moments.

Embarrassing about sums it up. The 49ers went into St. Louis and fell flat. One of the first games under Singletary where the team was not prepared to play. After this game I’m sure management will think long and hard if both Shaun Hill and Singletary are the answers. I know I would. Here is what we learned after the piss poor performance the 49ers put up today.

  • Shaun Hill did his best JT O’Sullivan impersonation.
  • Vernon Davis can’t hold onto the ball even when he catches it.
  • Battle of the day was Donnie Jones vs. Andy Lee.
  • Shaun Hill just signed an endorsement with Campbell’s Noodle Soup at halftime.
  • I miss Frank Gore.
  • The defensive line can’t get pressure for anything against one of the worst lines in the NFL.
  • After this game Shaun Hill shouldn’t be handed the starting job next season.
  • After this game Mike Singletary shouldn’t be handed the head coaching job.
  • The Dome’s blustery winds were to much of a factor in Hill’s passes.
  • Singletary probably dropped more than his pants at halftime.

    Screw Cassel…..he sux…I remember that games a couple of weeks ago were he was so Bad he woulda made Dilfer look good again…Cassels true colors came out that day and hes just a sorry backup that will prob end up in KC….whats all this Arm Strength BS about Shaun Hill….Did we not just Win the Game on a long ball?…was Joe Montana known for his Long ball? or his ability to win games in the clutch and march teams down the field with the ball game on the line………what are the percentages anyway on completeing Long balls its not like teams just come out and pass Hail Marys all day long…Im not saying that Shaun Hill is Joe Montana but I will take a quote from Clint Eastwood as “Dirty Harry”
    …..”How in the Hell are they supposed to get experience if you never give em a shot!” Shaun Hill is the best QB weve had since Jeff Garcia and he gets the damn job done, Period.

    What is wrong with some 49er fans complaing about Martz calling that deep pass that WON US THE GAME its not you guys here but on another site it just pisses me off WE FUCKEN WON IDIOTS would you rather us lose? If we lose Martz then we r done as a team u cant keep getting new O- cordinators. I like Martz he doesnt call the right play all the time but would you rather have that idiot we had last year?

    Wait wasn’t Hill the guy who came back and won the game for us in the 4th quarter?…oh yeah that’s right he was.

    Just saw replays of the Josh Morgan catch. Its even more amazing when you watch it in slo-mo. Atogwe thought he had another int but Morgan lept higher than him and snatched the ball with one arm for the TD. Brandon Lloyd had alot of amazing catches that I recall but this went for the winning TD so it truly is spectacular.

    I vote S. Hill for mayor of 9er Nation. I don’t know what it is about him, but he brings the offense together. Not much of an arm, some throws that made target but were not spirals. he does not have a great arm but does have a great mind. But, what makes a team click is what makes a team win. Hill for starting QB. Singletary for govenor (49ERS). Receiver wise, Morgan, hill, bruce (for a couple of years at least), Battle (as long as he is healthy – a very dependable catch), Delanie and vernon (Needing some work-Vernon more so),Bryant Johnson, maybee a free agent or a draft pic to draw some competition. Next O-Line and D-line (O-line more so). Playoffs here we come! come on baby we got this next year coming!!!
