Honestly I'm still flabbergasted that they ever gave up Akers. Looking at how Henry has choked quite a few times it makes it feel all the worse. Guy has and will always be my favorite kicker of all-time.

First win in Green Bay since 1990. Steve Young couldn't even accomplish that. I'm glad the 49ers were focused. Last year they played big in big games, and that has carried over so far. Could still do better on third downs, but so far so good.
And the score really should have been 30-15. Bad officiating crew on all sides. But whatever. Alex Smith had a good game and the offensive line looked good early in the contest at least. Bowman helped us out when we really needed it. And now it's off to play the Lions back here at Candlestick.

If Brandon Jacobs and Frank Gore play at roughly the same level as they did last year, and Kendall Hunter improves to the extent I think he will (I'm thinking about 850-900 yards), then it's actually seems possible once you factor the likely contributions from the minor rushers.

By the way I hate how everyone overlooks Frank Gore. He's 29, but he's clearly not done. Folks think he's old and over the hill.

It's certainly not guaranteed, but it's still a definite possibility if things go right. And I agree with you about Frank Gore, and I actually think he's going to be around for at least another five seasons after this year. (Though he'll probably end up conceding the No.1 Rusher slot to Kendall Hunter at some point before then)

Turns out it was also the first year of the 16-game schedule, too.
The Patriots showed a running game for the first time in years. Stevan Ridley had 125 yards in 21 carries against the Titans along with another 27 receiving yards. The Pats scoring drive near the end of the third quarter started at the TEN 48 and consisted of two short passes by Brady and the rest was Ridley. Brady and a running game? Scary. So can someone explain to me how the Jets, who I thought had largely been written off this season, could trounce the Bills, who many saw as the up-and-coming threat to the Pats' dominance in the AFC East? Any thoughts, FDW? Quote:
Nice to see the Niners win.
