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. But they got their act together in the second half, as turnovers, along with two touchdowns scored about six minutes apart, helped San [...]
Some 49ers news tidbits as reported by John Crumpacker of the San Francisco Chronicle:
Along with a victory, Frank Gore would love to gain 58 yards rushing Sunday against the Detroit Lions at Candlestick Park. That would give him 1,000 yards for a fourth straight season.
No other running back in franchise history has rushed for 1,000 [...]
The initial plan for the San Francisco 49ers’ intention of keeping the team in San Francisco has another speed bump to overcome as Philip Matier and Andrew Ross of the San Francisco Chronicle are reporting that team president Jed York has a Plan B in the event that they cannot get approval for a stadium proposal [...]
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 [...]
Typically, the San Francisco’s game plan is usually dictated by the run and their defense. During Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Candlestick Park, there was a slight change of plans in the team playbook as the pass would take center stage, with decent results. Alex Smith threw for a pair of touchdowns while [...]
For all of the money that San Francisco 49ers cornerback Nate Clements is making, the word “demotion” doesn’t automatically come to mind. After all, he was signed to a huge, $80 million contract back in 2007, which usually demands that you are consistently good – something that he hasn’t exactly been as he has been [...]
Most folks at first glance, knowing that the San Francisco 49ers were going to visit Lucas Oil Stadium to take on the Indianapolis Colts, probably wrote this game off as another notch in the Colts’ belt. Yet, it didn’t exactly happen like that.
True enough, quarterback Peyton Manning got his numbers, but it took a 22-yard [...]
In a results-driven league such as the National Football League, you’re only as good as your last performance, regardless of the position you have, whether as a player or coach. Apparently, the San Francisco 49ers feel the same way as the league as on Monday, team head coach Mike Singletary on Monday announced Alex Smith [...]
Early on at Reliant Stadium, where the Houston Texans hosted the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, it appeared that their game would be a rout. Steve Slaton had his running legs back and Matt Schaub was exacting damage to the 49ers’ secondary – all of this in the first half. But after replacing starting quarterback [...]
