Okay, I need the San Francisco DST to put up less than 5 points tonight. They can win for all I care, just don't put up more than 5 fantasy points on DST.
*edit* Damnit football gods, they have 6 points at the moment. I need them to get nothing else, and for St Louis to get another TD. Just 1 TD, that's all the Rams need to get to knock a point off of SF's DST fantasy. And of course, they get a FG instead. Damnit. I'm going to lose by 0.62 points. *edit 2* Well that freaking sealed that. At least it wasn't by less than a point, I guess. I'm actually more okay with it this way than a small margin of defeat.

Great win tonight for the 49ers. We played rough early, but turned it around right before the half and never really looked back. Colin had one of his best games. Threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns all to different receivers. Only put the ball up 36 times. Would have had four if Vernon didn't sabotage Vance McDonald's endzone catch. Oy. Both those guys were stinking up the joint. Anyways, Greg Williams is Colin's best friend. He constantly blitzes with his defenses, which is the worst thing you could do against Colin as he'll make you pay for it. We didn't run the ball that well unfortunately. The Rams definitely shut us down in that area. We gave both Hyde and Gore a decent amount of carries. Couldn't do anything though. Iupati got hurt, but we still should have been able to get a yard on three straight attempts. That's on the players.
The defense brought the lumber. Sacked Austin Davis 5 times. Ahmad Brooks looked like Ahmad Brooks for the first time all year. Perrish Cox continues to be the biggest surprise this year. All in all a nice performance after initially crumbling early. Way to bounce back. Harbaugh has really got this team focused despite all the nonsense that has been put out there by the media. Beat two 5-1 teams and climbed out of a 1-2 start. Next week is at Denver. May not have a lot of our key players. Now Willis and Iupati are nicked up. Ahmad Brooks might be the only starter from our linebacker group next week. At least Aaron Lynch has looked good for a rookie. Manning might kill us. I think it's going to be up to the offense to try and get us a win. I definitely don't want everyone frothing at Manning breaking Brett Favre's record. At least not in a win. I hope we spoil the party. Then we'll have a bye. Even if we lose 4-3 wouldn't be bad heading into the bye and then getting the Rams at home. Should be interesting.

Surprised that the day Jacksonville gets their first win of the season, those Jaguars fans in this thread are slower to respond. Celebrating, I guess?
Smooth win by Dallas. 6-1 and top of the NFC at present. That's something. Seattle drop another one - but to the Rams. Samari will be stoked. Buffalo and Washington pinch wins in the final seconds. Kansas take it late to cut the Chargers down. Brees blows another game for the Saints, ensuring DarkwingDuck's silence. And time for Peyton to have a crack at the all-time TD passes record tonight in that Broncos-49ers matchup.

nice firs win. the defense played excellent, they've really stepped up since week 3 and are beginning to look like the defense I expected at the beginning of the season, just getting better each week. D-Rob with a 127 yard game out of no where. Hopefully it's starting to click for him and he strings together some nice games, this game showed what we can do if we had a freaking running game and a secondary that doesn't give up huge plays.
Also Reaper, some interesting stats. Bortles leads the league in completions under pressure (which is amazing) and 3rd down conversion (before today's game at least). He also has one of the highest completion percentages for a rookie in NFL history. Also, Allen Robinson leads the league in drop percentage (which is amazing also) and is pretty much the 3rd best rookie receiver right now behind Sammy Watkins and Kelvin Benjamin. Think he's developing into a special player. Remember before the draft a lot of people had Robinson as a sleeper to be the next Dez Bryant-type receiver and he's having a really steady going as a rookie. He's on pace for 800+ with over 70 catches as a rookie.

Our running game is also impress as well. If Robinson can string a couple of at least 65 yards with 3.5 yard per carry at least. We got our ruining back in the future. Hopefully as a whole, a 100 yards running will be a norm. Bortles had a bad game, but he didn't crack. He will bounce back and learn like he always had. If the running game gets more stabilize, we will see him passing with me success. Also, thing to note, one of the best receiving tight end in the league, Jordan Cameron. They manage to shut him down. I am extremely happy. Also, what are the numbers for the offensive line? Run block must have been better. |

Kid was money the last two years. The criticisms against him mostly centered around blocking and effort when the play wasn't his way, but he stepped up huge when needed and was a very solid receiver throughout two seasons as the top pass-catcher in the Big 10. Which is pretty amazing considering he was a nobody his first year on the team. He was considered by a lot of fans to be an appeasement offer to a 4-star QB from his high school we had landed the year before. Pretty lowly rated, not a lot of offers. Played very little as a freshman, but, importantly... played as freshman. Over the offseason between his freshman and sophomore years he bulked up a lot, and as a sophomore he exploded onto the scene. I watched the highlight of his TD catch on NFL.com earlier. It was kinda irksome that they spent the entire clip talking about Bortles and said virtually nothing about the great individual effort Robinson put in to score. He has great body control. He was so good at getting YAC here at PSU, which is something we really, really lacked from receivers for a long time. Great to see him get his first TD for you guys. I hope he has many more!

Another Sunday night blowout. If it wasn't for Manning getting that record, this would have been another bust.
So at this point, Dallas is leading the NFC and Arizona in 2nd. How about that. 49ers copped some serious injuries tonight.

Bad loss for the 49ers. Not a shock though. At some point you need players. We're missing like 10 or so starters. Our offensive line has been a joke all season due to the shuffling around. And now we have more players that got hurt in tonight's game. Our backup left guard had to play center at one point because our first two starters got hurt. It was like musical chairs on the line as the game progressed. I had never seen anything like it. And we had only three healthy corners to finish the game. Crazy. I expected this to be a loss at the beginning of the year, but not a blowout. Unfortunately it is what it is. We've had a blowout before and went to the Super Bowl (2012 at Seattle). I'm not that worried heading into the bye at 4-3, although I didn't think the Cardinals would be leading the division. At least we're ahead of the Seahawks. We need to get Bowman, Aldon Smith, and Willis back as soon as possible. Also we need our corners to get healthy. Tramaine Brock clearly wasn't ready to come back. Chris Cook is hurt, and Chris Culliver didn't play. Time to regroup and prepare for the Rams at home. By the way the receivers might actually want to work on, oh I don't know, catching the ball. Especially Vernon Davis.
