Wow, the SanFrancisco 49ers have finally won a game and it was against a divisional opponent that was right in the playoff hunt!  Sure it took a missed fieldgoal by Neil Rackers in overtime, and then a saftey on Kurt Warner to get the win, but a win is a win and the 49ers will take it anyway they can!

I have to give a lot of credit to Frank Gore today.  Gore came to play like the player we seen last season.  Even after huring his ankel early in the game, Gore was able to break some long runs and make defenders miss.  Gore finished the day with 116 yards on 21 carries and two touchdowns.  He also caught the ball 11 times for another 98 yards.  Big time day for Mr. Gore!

Trent Dilfer had an ok game.  There were some terrible throws and missreads but he didn’t turn the ball over all game long and that helped keep the 49ers in the game.  He threw two touchdowns as Arnaz Battle and Vernon Davis both found paydirt.

Now the 49ers are 3-8 on the season and have a game against the Carolina Panthers coming up next.  This is another team that they can beat, but it will be tough.  The Panthers are having quarterback problems so the 49ers defense will need to get a couple of tournovers to help out the offense.

It was almost a win for the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday but Trent Dilfer’s pass was picked off in the endzone on the last play of the game and the Rams won 13-9.  The 49ers battled all game long, but didn’t have a running game, and didn’t get the big touchdown when they needed too.  The defense played pretty good as they limited the Rams to only 13 points and 207 total yards.  The Rams aren’t good but either are the 49ers…

With no running game, the 49ers are going to continue losing ballgames this year.  Frank Gore only rushed for 32 yards on 15 carries.  You have got to do a better job of play calling and blocking so Gore can get out and get some rushing yards.  Too many times Gore was running right into the pack of defenders at the line of scrimmage.

One thing I would like to happen is getting the ball to Vernon Davis more and let him make some plays.  He has the ability to break some tackles and that would really spark this offense I think.  On Sunday, Dilfer did try to get the ball to Davis more then earlier in the season, but Davis wasn’t able to haul in a few of them, and the others were not very good thrown balls.

Do we need to start a pool asking when the niners will win their next game?  Will it even be this year?

BREAKING NEWS:  The 49ers offense still sucks and they can’t put points on the board!  It’s getting to be the same thing week after week when we blog about the 49ers games.  They simply cannot put points on the board.  Alex Smith can’t pass the ball, Frank Gore can’t run the ball, and the defenese can’t hold opponents to zero points so we can atleast hope for a tie!

The niners offense was only able to get 173 total yards and six first downs the ENTIRE GAME.  Smith threw for 114 yards but not nearly enough to move the ball up and down the field like they needed to be able to do.  Oh yeah, and he alos lost two fumbles on a cold night in Seattle.

Gore led the niners with 72 yards on 16 carries.  Once again, he isn’t rushing for 100-125 yards a ballgame which the team needs him to do.

With the offense playing so badly, the defense really never had a shot to shut down the Seahawks.  The Seahawks had the ball twice as long as the niners so the defense was always out there on the field.  The Seahawks kept the ball for almost 40 minutes.  That is two-thirds of the entire game!  Well atleast we can say the 49ers offense should be reseted up for next week lol…

The 49ers continued their slump and now have a six game losing streak after winning the first two games of the season.  To go along with the lose, the one bright spot on the defense, Patrick Willis, broke a bone in one of his hands.  Right now it is uncertain if he will be able to play with a big cast on it or not.

Oh yeah, and injuries are still hurting the 49ers. Frank Gore did not play due to a bum ankel.  Starting quarterback Alex Smith had a heavily taped up shoulder that he is going to have to battle through for the rest of the season.  The injuries keep on piling up and I don’t see things getting better for this team.  Oh yeah, and not next year either due to a couple draft picks going to different teams because of trades.

As a niner fan, I’m not sure what else to say other then this team really sucks right now.  Coach Nolan is on the hot seats, and we will have to see what happens in the next 3-4 weeks.
