Week 10 Prediction Contest - Guess you can still get your MNF pick in...

Injuries
49ers: Probable - OT Jonas Jennings, DE Ray McDonald, TE Delanie Walker; Questionable - LB Roderick Green; Out - S Dashon Goldson, OT Barry Sims, WR Arnaz Battle

Cardinals: Probable - WR Sean Morey, TE Jerame Tuman; Questionable - TE Leonard Pope, OT Mike Gandy, CB Eric Green, DE Travis LaBoy, TE Ben Patrick

Inactives
49er: QB Jamie Martin, CB Reggie Smith, S Dashon Goldson, LB Ahmad Brooks, C Cody Wallace, T Barry Sims, TE Sean Ryan, WR Arnaz Battle

Cardinals: QB Brian St. Pierre, CB Eric Green, T Elliot Valejo, DT Alan Branch, WR Early Doucet, TE Jerame Tuman, TE Ben Patrick

Alright folks, the proverbial buck stops here.  If the 49ers lose, the race for a top 10 draft pick is on. If the 49ers win, we live to fight another day.  Mike Singletary has had two weeks to rally the troops and figure out a game plan for tonight.  I was certainly curious about the Seahawks game two weeks ago, but this game has me all the more intrigued.

Unfortunately I have class tonight so the TiVo is set.  I'll be watching the game later tonight but am scheduling a second half post and a post-game post until I get a chance to watch the game and post my thoughts.  The second half thread is scheduled to open at 7:15pm pacific time/10:15pm eastern time.  The postgame thread is scheduled to open at 9pm pacific/midnight eastern.  Here's hoping for some good things.

GO NINERS!

Pregame reminds me of two things:

1. Monday Night Football ESPN commercials are awesome.
2. Emmit Smith is the worst football analyst in the history of television.

Also, Justin Smith was saying before the game that if we don’t get consistent pressure on Warner, then we’ll lose. So…he thinks we’ll lose?

refs fucked over that challenge

they said he was out, which was the wrong call, but noone saw him not catch the ball- the ref made the wrong call- but singletary threw the flag before he watched the replay- which was dumb—on offense you have plenty of time to review it before you challenge—-dumb mistake just by being impatient

teams are banking on these 7 step drops...

both D-ends just run straight down the field, and get instant pressure – there’s no way an offensive tackle can get back that far, that fast to protect that big of a pocket.

Hill

I get frustrated by short passes on third and long, but they’re check-downs, and they’ve been completions. Completions at least give you a chance. And they aren’t turnovers, so we can punt and utilize field position. I’d say it’s an improvement so far.
