Johnny's Predictions for 49ers-Cardinals

First here I am going to go into a litany of what the 49ers need to do to return back to their winning ways, then I will analyze the upcoming 49ers-Cardinals game on Monday Night Football, the gladiator arena of all sports, and in terms of spectators, there are Monday Night Football fanatics, especially those that look for the Budweiser commercials and play it out as if it was inspired by the iconic Monday Night Football beer choice, Budweiser.

Singletary need to give Martz the green light to go to the air on Monday Night Football television. That will be intimidating enough for the speedster Cardinals, because they are more of an offensive team than a defensive team, at least in my opinion. Fitzgerald needs to be shut down, and Bolden is priming to make a comeback, so he needs to get double coverage. In my opinion both Fitzgerald and Bolden are legitimate threats. They will score if the 49er secondary doesn't close up on them. They are the best wide receiving corps in the NFL, at least that is what I think, and if the 49ers secondary suffer miscommunication or lapses with their defense, they will be scorched for touchdowns by them.

49er quarterback Shaun Hill, in addition to throwing crisp passes and avoiding interceptions, he needs to turn up a notch because if the Cardinals' passing game elevates, the 49ers have to, too. He needs to do a great job of managing the game and create multiple scoring opportunities.

Frank Gore, our best running back and an extremely talented at it, powerful at the line of scrimmage and by breaking tackles and transporting himself through holes. He needs to break 100 yards to help the team gain high total yardage in this game which is necessary to counter all-pro receivers Fitzgerald and Bolden. I cannot stop talking about these two receivers because they can make the big play anytime that can hurt the 49ers' chances of winning. Clements and corps must stop them head on and stifle their WR threat.

I would like to see Tollner more involved in the Martz offense because he can coach the players more while Martz does the play calling and the tinkering with the schematics of his offense.

Zeigler has been signed to the 53-man roster from the practice squad and I think it is a move that will help the 49ers because he did extremely well during the preseason and we need to get back to that rolling tempo. Zeigler is a good receiver and can pull off some great plays that brings the 49ers back into the lead.

I think the score will be 31-20 49ers. Hill will throw for 248 yards and two touchdowns, with a couple by Gore and perhaps Davis, with one interception, his first of the season. Jason Hill will have a 89 receiving yard game and Isaac Bruce will have 76 yards, with Davis grabbing 35 yards and Zeigler getting 40 yards, and  the rest spread out with a couple others on the receiving end.

Gore will run for 103 yards, and have 55 receiving yards for a total 158 yards accrued in the mismatch against the Cardinals.

And Singletary will pass out some Armani boxers to his team in gratitude to the team for allowing their minds to be imprinted by his infamous pants down dramatic demonstration during a halftime pep talk to his team in the locker room, perhaps to promise them the reward of Armani bathrobes to cover up their asses, if they came back to win the game, or at least close out the game with pride and integrity.

If not this time, next time will be pride and glory.

And if this time it's all pride and glory, it's on Monday Night Football!

It's on the house.

When I said,

“It’s on the house,” I was referring to a win by the 49ers that would be on the house, because it’s the 49er show on Monday Night Football. It was our show tonight that was stolen at the 1-yard line, stripping away our moment.

If I bet money on this game I would have lost millions except for the fact I was right on the estimated amount of yardage accrued by both Gore and Jason Hill, plus Shaun Hill’s passing totals, that would have cut my losses.

Right?
