While the San Francisco 49ers had their playoff hopes dashed, that didn’t necessarily mean that they didn’t have anything to play for. Meanwhile, their opponent, the St. Louis Rams, depending on your point of view, may have been “positioning” themselves for an early draft pick in next year’s draft.
Nonetheless, both teams got together Sunday at [...]
The San Francisco 49ers, during their game against the visiting Detroit Lions, began rather slowly – perhaps a result of the hangover from last week when they were eliminated from playoff contention.

The San Francisco 49ers, no matter how promising a club that they may be, may have ensured that they do not visit the postseason as they squandered opportunity after opportunity during their game Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks at Qwest Field. Even icing the Seahawks kicker, Olindo Mare, had no effect; Mare would connect on [...]

Niners coach Mike Singletary was reported to be torn between Shaun Hill and Alex Smith as who to go with at starting QB, but that decision now has been made, as the coach has decided to go with Hill as his opening day started vs the Cardinals September 13th.
