Crabtree is in, Smith looked to Josh Morgan in the endzone and all other receivers. He hasn't looked for Crabtree yet.
Well that is good at least getting a target.
Time for Jimmy Raye to get creative. Ok, nevermind. 49ers lose.
Doing what they've been doing since they fired Mariucci....finding a way to lose. Dominate the half statistically and trail by 8.
Not to hipple here but the only reason Branch had a hold of Clements' hand is because Clements grabbed his arm first. Still, would've been better as a no call probly, but Nate initiated contact.
Gore has 26 yards on 13 carries. I wouldn't call that statistical domination. If Smith can't complete a pass beyond 5 yards I think the 49ers are going to continue to struggle to put points on the board. Yes, the 49ers moved the sticks and ate up clock, but IMO you have to make plays down field in the NFL if you want to light up the score board.Odd thought. I think I remember typing this exact same thing when referring to Alex Smith last year when the 49ers lost in Seattle.
Ha, I thought I was fair and balanced there.....agreed, no call is correct there.
Clements had a handful of jersey when Branch tried to come out of his break. Did they both have a handful? You bet, but this is certainly a case of "you first".
I agree. Too conservative and have been since Smith has been here. Smith is either horrible and they know it and are waiting to draft a QB next year (to havce him step into a good OL) or the OC is just way too conservative. Too many mistakes and then run plays. They are in the box stopping Gore, grow a pair and throw downfield.
Yep, I thought it was a td also.
Definitely wasn't a TD, knee went down, correct ball placement. What's impressed me most, other than the D-line and Thomas's speed is Hass' determination to bring the O up to the D's level. He had someone wide open in the EZ (Morrah I think) but shouldered it in to pump everyone up.
I thought it was too. I guess it worked out since they still got the score but I was surprised they didn't take another look at it.
I think Hass running it in got the offense pumped up, so it's all good.
I believe the Seattle run defense will continue to be that good, but solid QBs are going to have time to pick the secondary apart if they have a mix of creative play calling.
The last pick Smith hit the DB in the numbers and the first one was because he launched a rocket from about 6-8 feet away to Crabtree's behind shoulder. From the looks of it they have had many plays were he looks down field and just dumps off everything.
The 49ers had over twice as many yards and dominated the time of posession in the first half. Lots more yards and time of posession equals statistical domination IMO. If you think it is something else, fine. The Bears statistically dominated the Lions, the Lions should have won except for a bad rule or call on a late Detroit TD. Winning the stats doesn't mean you win the game.
That's what I said about us after the first 26 minutes of the game.
Agreed; egads, there are actually going to be people calling for Carr to come in, THIS WEEK.
They won't be if the running game doesn't pick up. Can't be on the field all season and still stay fast.
Yeah doesn't seem like the can run. Not watching, D looking good?
