Per Mike Singletary's Monday Presser , Alex Smith will be the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers going forward. For those of us who got to watch the second half of the Houston game, this move brings with it some hope. Hope of an offense where more than two receivers are ...Published on: 15th October, 2009
Many fickle 49er fans (say that three times fast) as well as so-called "experts" alike are all answering or trying to answer one question: "Are the 49ers a good team?" In the wake of one of the worst losses in franchise history, it's a fair question. This fan likes to err on ...Published on: 12th October, 2009
Most fans, myself included, were reeling after Sunday's blowout loss to the Atlanta Falcons at Candlestick Park. Trying to find answers and retain some hope, I turned to head coach Mike Singletary's Monday press conference. Coach Singletary did not disappoint. First, in a surprising but incredibly necessary move, Singletary introduced Dre ...Published on: 28th September, 2009
As I watched the screen of a "netbook" style laptop waiting for the next play to refresh, I remember the sense of victory I had when the 49ers got the ball back late in the 4th quarter. I was unable to see the game live or otherwise due to a friend's ...Published on: 23rd September, 2009
I wrote this article after the third preseason game of 2009, detailing who the San Francisco 49ers were as a team. My reactions to their play in the preseason led me to make some statements about the team, as well as identify some areas that appeared to need improvement I thought ...Published on: 18th August, 2009
In all fairness, this article was spawned in response to this article and chronicles the way our favorite newsworthy ancient ex/current/ex quarterback makes his evening dinner plans. Brett Favre loves him some dinner...but he's been eating for quite some time, and on this night, he's really trying to decide if he ...Published on: 15th August, 2009
Though there were plenty of bright spots, to me it looked at times as though the 49ers thought they were playing in a scrimmage perhaps. Maybe that's the way the coaches wanted to approach this game. Don't play your butts off, save some for the rest of the preseason, regular season ...Published on: 7th August, 2009
ESPN.com just reported that San Francisco 49er wide receiver Brandon Jones will miss two months with a fractured shoulder. Head coach Mike Singletary is apparently saying that Jones will not need surgery. This takes away some quality depth at the position and some will say gives Michael Crabtree more bargaining leverage in ...Published on: 2nd July, 2009
I was looking at stats today, being the Monday Morning Quarterback that I am, trying to see just what our shortcomings were during the 2008 season. As I poured through the numbers, one thing became apparent to me...The 49ers weren't very good in almost every category...at all. An obvious statement. Anyone ...Published on: 25th June, 2009
So here I find myself again (albeit much earlier in the season than last year) in disbelief over the instant crowning of the Minnesota Vikings as not only NFC North champs, but tops of the entire conference. It's a forgone conclusion, right? I mean, we all know Favre is coming...and ...
