Sorry for not getting this update up on the blog sooner but we have been busy moving the site to a new server and things took longer then we had expected.

Anyways, the 49ers picked up a nice win on Sunday afternoon against the Detroit Lions by the score of 31-13. The offense played good and the defense was very aggresive and caused problems for the Lions all day long.

J.T. O’Sullivan was 16-23 for 189 yards and two touchdowns. It was great to see O’Sullivan not throw an interception and he was only sacked once in the game. He is really starting to make some good decisions out on the field as he gains more experience.

Frank Gore was a beast as he ran for 130 yards and one touchdown on 27 carries. He also caught four balls for another 32 yards. Gore is playing some great football and a lot of that credit has to go to the offensive line who are playing great as well.

Delanie Walker and Issac Bruce both caught touchdowns from O’Sullivan.

On the defensive side of the ball, the 49ers sacked Jon Kitna four times including two from Roderick Green. Justin Smith and Parys Haralson each had one sack as well. Patrick Willis was the leading tackler for the team with six total tackles.

Tarell Brown and Justin Smith both had an interception in the game. Smith was all over the place as he played his best game in a 49er uniform.

There was one terrible injury in the game for the niners as Shawntae Spencer tore his ACL in his left knee. Spencer will be lost for the remainder of the season and will be having surgery this week and placed on injured reserve.

The niners are now 2-1 on the year and will be taking on the New Orleans Saints this weekend. The game will be played in the morning from the Superdome and I expect it to be a tough game for the niners. They will have to get pressure on Drew Brees or it could be a long game for the defense.
