I don't even care

that the coaches are going to say that the offensive performance "has nothing to do with any change ever, we've always been this good blah blah blah". Fuck them. They're finally doing what they should have been doing ever since Smith took over, and WHAT A SHOCK- it's working.


Alex Smith, professional NFL quarterback. Suck it, haters.

Fire the shit out of Jimmy Raye

When the hell is he going to realize that you don't have to wait until you're down by 20 to play offense?

And no, the Packers were not in prevent at all. They were running their normal defense. If they call the offense like they did in the second half over the whole game, they win. The defense sucks without Clements and Spikes, too.

No fucking excuse for this. Stop with the retarded offense and run the spread- it works, your lame shit doesn't.

Was I right?

or was I RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGHHHHHHHHTTT.


Plolayoffs. What a fucking joke of a team we root for. Jesus Christ.


YOU WANNA CALL ANOTHER FUCKING DIVE PLAY JIMMY?!? THEY PROBABLY WONT SEE IT FUCKING COMING THIS TIME.


/arnaz battle returning punts again.

Thanks 49ers

You fucking horrible football team: thanks for just letting Greg Jennings help me relive Antonio Freeman's slant for a touchdown in the 96 playoffs.

Why don't you go ahead and get blown out. I hate you all for not showing up. I knew this game would suck, in fact I had no doubt.

And is there any doubt at all about Alex Smith? I mean, sure, something bad will probably happen, but you have to THROW THE FUCKING BALL to make anything at all happen. The guy is a stiff and a terrible, terrible quarterback. I bet we see Shaun Hill after the half (at the very latest).

Yay another sack, awesome job offense.

Fuck Green Bay, too. Those people in the stands are repulsive.

Lol

Green Bay defensive coordinator Dom Capers runs a hybrid 3-4 scheme that makes dramatic scheme adjustments depending on the opponent. So the 49ers will try to guess along and figure what the Packers showed in their first nine games that they might apply to Sunday's game plan.

We're fucked.

Really? We're going to rely on Jimmy Raye to "guess along" and figure out what the Packers are going to do on defense? Don't even bother watching the absolute travesty that's going to unfold on the heated tundra in 4 days.

Seriously, how is Jimmy Raye even taken seriously at this point? It's pretty GLARINGLY obvious that he is not an NFL level offensive coordinator- for God's sake, he was surprised to see the Packers running a different defensive scheme on Sunday than the one they'd used the previous week. Really? We're relying on this guy to run an NFL offense?

Kill me now.

Sooo...

...are you getting a very familiar feeling with this game?

So THAT'S why the offense has been conservative

Once a (pretty bad) team actually had the opportunity to gameplan against Alex Smith, we see that he is, in fact, nearly the same mediocre player that we were hoping would become something better than that. Very little has changed with him, and I fear that the 49ers' may be sitting in 6-10 land waiting for Smith to not suck for longer than necessary. He has the rest of this season. If he's not awesome by the end of it, get the fuck rid of his sorry brainy-will-never-be-ready-for-primetime ass and draft someone. These are years of a franchise's life going to waste. Frank Gore's career will likely be wasted. Willis' best years are being wasted. My Sunday afternoons are being wasted.

Eric beat me to the punch, but just in case any of us (or Mike Singletary) are under any illusions, this will not be a playoff team. The Arizona Cardinals, inconsistent as they may be, are a clearly better football team who has a two game lead and a cake schedule (only games against Minnesota and Green Bay are worth mentioning). So, the division is out.

Wildcard? The 49ers are competing with the Bears, Packers, Falcons, and 2/3 of the Eagles, Cowboys, and Giants for two spots. That's assuming that the only competition involves teams with better records than 3-5 (the 49ers have the same record as the freaking Seattle Seahawks). There is no chance.

So, just eight games into the season, we already face the depressing reality that this will once again be a crappy football team that will not be "playing in January" as the kid owner put it.

The defense is good enough to not suck as it's been for a few years. Which is to say, they're just good enough to let you down week to week. The offensive line is crap. The quarterback is crap. If Singletary says anything ridiculous about the playoffs or anything else after this game, he will become Mike Nolan 2.0 in my eyes: delusional, lost on offense, and just not effective. He's already two out of three.

I'm Done*

Enjoy this dogshit team, I can't take it anymore. Plus my kid is learning too many cuss-words on Sunday afternoons.

Damn I hate this team.

Singletary hasn't done dick. This is the same exact 49ers team we've been watching for the last 6 years. I wonder if today's post-game comment will be, "we have to learn how to finish". Riiiight. Keep fooling yourself, "Sing".

It feels good to feel the burning hate for Singletary and his bullshit message. And let's be honest, anyone wearing a giant wooden cross has to be a dick.

This isn't even a 6-10 team. This is the same team that always drops 5 or 6 or 7 or 8straight games in the middle of the season. Nothing has changed!

Alex Smith crumbles under the slightest pressure. Fuck his little hands. He should
be in the UFL. You KNEW both those picks were coming.

*Yea, I'll probably be back watching on Thursday night. I obviously hate myself.

It was option B

Alex Smith is good. Vernon Davis, Frank Gore, and Micheal Crabtree are good. The O-line isn't good, but it's decent enough to win games.

The defense was amazing, and held Peyton Manning without a TD pass. Seriously.

This game was lost because the 49ers do not have professional NFL-level coaches running their team. IDK if the blame rests mostly on Singletary or Raye, but both the horrendous playcalling and unbelievable mental errors cost them this game, and both of those things rest on the coaches.

Mediocre team at best. The talent is there, but it's hamstrung by poor management.
