San Francisco 49ers at Chicago Bears, Aug 21, 2008 5:00 PM PDT

Time: 5:00pm PST
Location: Soldier Field, Chicago, IL
Records (2007): 49ers (5-11) Bears (7-9)
ScoresandOdds.com Spread: Bears -3.5; Over/Under 36.5; Money Line: 49ers +160, Bears -180 - And if you're betting on preseason football, I suggest visiting this site.
Weather: 75 degrees, 50% chance of showers, wind SSE 4 mph

Spanish Radio: KIQI 1010-AM, KATD 990-AM - Fernando Arias and Ambrosio Rico
Bears Coverage: Windy City Gridiron

Injuries
49ers: Out - WR Arnaz Battle, WR Bryant Johnson, WR Ashley Lelie, S Lewis Baker, G David Baas, RB Michael Robinson, G Adam Snyder, T Jonas Jennings ; Gametime Decision: CB Tarell Brown

Bears: Out - T Chris Williams, G Terrence Metcalf, TE Desmond Clark

The Bears struggled last season but are still a defensive force to be reckoned with.  This is might be the most important game of the preseason considering we'll see the most playing time for the first teamers.

The 49ers have plenty of issues to resolve but they are definitely starting to get some answers.  Even as an "Alex Smith guy," I think the best bet right now is for J.T. O'Sullivan to have a solid performance and lock down the #1 job.  He's spent the most time with the first team offense and has hopefully developed some nice chemistry.  And if he struggles, well hopefully Smith has a good performance.

One quick unrelated point, I've gotten interest from 6 folks for our 4th and final Niners Nation Fantasy Football League.  If you aren't in a league and haven't let me know of your interest, either leave a comment in the game thread or email me at ninersnation@gmail.com.  I'd like 6 more people to make it a 12-team league so hopefully we can get 6 more folks.  And remember, there WILL be prizes (and not just a front page post!).

As always, if you feel like joining the conversation, click on "Sign Up" on the top left side of the front page, or "Sign Up" at the bottom of the comments for this thread.  Either way, your opinions and insights are greatly appreciated and welcomed.

I'll be back with a recap late tonight or early tomorrow.

GO NINERS!

Combo coverage is tough, because neither the underneath player in the flat nor the rover can move out of position, and the temptation is way too high.

but then again it looks like Alex needs as much time as he can get if he has any hope of winning the competition

As bad as he’s looked sometimes, Alex still w/ no TOs, and he’s scored on his drives.

This is worrying me

his shoulder may not be 100%, because he normally can throw the ball very deep.

yeah i was thinking that too…might explain the accuracy problems as well

looking more like last year- nice

by bondslegend on Aug 21, 2008 7:23 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

But, JT scored points and didn’t turn the ball over (this week), AND went 7/8 =D

by Cruithear on Aug 21, 2008 7:25 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Yes
Looked great tonight, but also had some terrible INTs before. I think he's the best RIGHT NOW, but think AS will get better.

by bondslegend on Aug 21, 2008 7:26 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

But

Alex has had plenty of time to develop (perhaps not in the system, I realize he’s had his share of coaches/systems), but JT has shown solid improvement whereas Smith still looks a bit rough.

by Cruithear on Aug 21, 2008 7:27 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

JT has 1 year in the system already,

but I do agree- you’d think AS’ accuracy would at least be OK by now.

Nope

see above. Starkey said 6/10 for some reason.

no catches for Morgan tonight..

by bondslegend on Aug 21, 2008 7:31 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

Did they even throw his way? I was on the phone for most of the 2nd quarter >.>

by Cruithear on Aug 21, 2008 7:31 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Maybe Alex just doesn’t like him o.O

It’s funny, I watched Morgan at every Tech home game (and every broadcasted game) last year and he wasn’t NEARLY as impressive for us. At least he’s doing well now, and he went to my favorite team!

by Cruithear on Aug 21, 2008 7:34 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Alex almost got him killed once then underthrew him a second time

more of a drop, but not a very good pass. Morgan could have had it.
