Post news as it happens here

 

[Andy Hicks]

This will be pinned once play begins

 

[derek19]

With the win, it will be there first time since 1998 that the 49ers started the season 2-0!!

 

[shakeybarn]

Me thinks the Niners offense will give us the Jekyll vs the Hyde they gave on Monday Night vs Arizona. Expect to see that all year. I think there'll be quite a bit of offense on both sides, especially since SJax will be a man possessed. Take that to the bank. Gore's head will CERTAINLY be in the game as well.

 

[Cowboys#1]

mcmicheal limps off after a catch.. looks okay though

 

[GrossmanToHester]

Bulger getting the crap knocked out of him so far.

 

[Cowboys#1]

muffed punt.. rams recover

Bulger getting the crap knocked out of him so far.

just terrible o-line play or is some of the blame on bulger or the WRs?

 

[Cowboys#1]

o-line not protecting well.. nice run by jax.

 

[Cowboys#1]

td holt, good protection by jackson and what a throw by bulger.

Shoddy play on both accounts. Although he just threw a TD

 

[Johnny Ice]

TD Holt. Bum knee is holding up.

 

[Cowboys#1]

gore with a drop on 3rd down, ends the drive

 

[Cowboys#1]

stupid penalty running into the returner who signalled for the fair catch.. great field position for the niners.

 

[North]

Lienhan needs to reevaluate his play calling.

SJAX is running good against San Fran. and he calls this?

1st- SJ|AX run for 8 yds

2nd- incomplete pass

3rd- incomplete pass

4th- punt

They are so predictable, why don't they comtinue to run Jackson?

 

[Cowboys#1]

gore td.

 

[Cowboys#1]

jackson is running very well

 

[North]

jackson is running very well

Yet they find ways to keep it out of his hands when it matters most.

 

[North]

How does SJAX pass protection look?

Still no receptions out of the back field?

 

[Cowboys#1]

bruce drops an easy first down.

Jackson is doing a great job of picking up the blitz, he is pass blocking more and thus not getting looks in the passing game.

 

[North]

They are becoming too predictable! Run on 1st down, pass on 2nd and 3rd.

 

[North]

They are becoming too predictable! Run on 1st down, pass on 2nd and 3rd.

If Bulger throws another TD from inside the redzone I'm gonna scream!|

 

[Cowboys#1]

jackson was open underneath on that throw.. almost picked in the endzone

 

[North]

|Really hard to watch SJAX get stuffed like that!

 

[thecatch]

Willis is all over the place... he's already a very good NFL LB in game #2

 

[Pittsburgh United]

Why aren't these idiots relying on their workhorse RB???

 

[Cowboys#1]

willis is a stud.

nice throw and catch to DJax for 30 something

 

[shakeybarn]

MY GGGGGGGGGGGGGAWD...another St Louis off lineman down??!!

 

[shakeybarn]

Great dish out by Bulger... this how SJax was and will be a receiving machine.

The desperation outlet.

 

[Cowboys#1]

great play by bulger to dump it off to jackson for a big first down

 

[shakeybarn]

Niners...

Ummmmm quit blitzing... you are getting burned.

 

[Cowboys#1]

bulger to bruce again..

in the redzone.

 

[thecatch]

Niners...Ummmmm quit blitzing... you are getting burned.

If they don't blitz, they can't get to the QB and Bulger is just picking them apart.

 

[North]

Jackson doesn't look good in the redzone.

 

[GrossmanToHester]

Bulger making some great throws despite being a human punching-bag.

 

[Cowboys#1]

bulger is getting hammered but still making some big plays.

 

[Cowboys#1]

unlucky.. holt fumbles at the 10 and the ball goes through the endzone. touchback SF

 

[GrossmanToHester]

Holt makes a nice catch and then fumbles it out of the endzone. SF ball.

Wahn wahn waaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

 

[Cowboys#1]

d-jax hurt - on the sidelines right now.

 

[Cowboys#1]

jax back in.. hurry up forces the rams to burn a TO.

 

[Keys Myaths]

d-jax hurt - on the sidelines right now.

What happened?

 

[mcnabbmcnow]

I was about to complain about Gore and his YPC, and then he rumbles 43 yds for a TD!

 

[Twilight]

Now that is a TD. Perfect time to Wake up (Alarm didn't go off)

 

[GrossmanToHester]

Who is this Gore kid?

 

[Pittsburgh United]

Can someone please explain why Jackson is not getting the ball?

 

[derek19]

Man he looked explosive on that play.

 

[Keys Myaths]

Who is this Gore kid?

Just another guy Otis is pimping. He's safe to ignore.HTH

 

[Cowboys#1]

jax is back in, guess he just got rolled on.

gore with a sick td run.. stuffed on 4th and 1 next thing you know he escapes and is gone.

 

[FFdork]

Just a drive by post. I'm sure others have thought the same thing, but I'm very nervous about the Rams. Bulger is getting punished and it's only game #2. If they can't shore up the protection I can't see him making it through 2 more games let alone the season.

Given that Bulger and Holt's stats should look pretty good (assuming they make it though the game) I would be exploring trade options. Just IMHO.
