Preseason Game #1: 49ers @ Oakland Raiders

San Francisco 49ers at Oakland Raiders, Aug 8, 2008 7:00 PM PDT


49ers_logo_medium  @ Raiders_logo_medium

Date: August 8, 2008

Time: 7:00pm PST, 10:00pm EST

Location: McAfee Coliseum, Oakland, CA

ScoresandOdds.com Spread: Raiders -3; Over/Under 34; Money Line: 49ers +125, Raiders -145; And if you're betting on preseason games, you might have a problem

TV Broadcast: Blacked Out: Tape Delayed to 11:30 on CBS 5; 10pm on Action 36

Notable Announcers: Eric Davis is making his debut as a pre-game guy for the 49ers preseason.  I was really disappointed when he left for Carolina, but it's nice to have him back in the fold.

We're officially on the road towards hopeful redemption from last season.  J.T. O'Sullivan has the fortune of starting the first preseason game, but the pressure is on for him to make his mark early.  Whatever does happen to the 49ers this season, the curiosity factor is high considering the QB competition and the whole Mike Martz-Mike Nolan dynamic.

Due to prior plans and the late nature of the tape-delay, I may not have a recap up until Sunday late morning/early afternoon.  At the very least I'll get a quick thread up for post-game discussion.  Let's hope we've got some positives to discuss!

Quick note about SBN 2.0 and game threads:  If you haven't noticed in the past, comments automatically appear so there's no need to constantly refresh the pages like last season.  So the comments can become a sort of live blog of everything.  Definitely a plus.

EDITOR'S NOTE 6:55PM: If you are new to Niners Nation and want to comment in the game thread (or any thread), registration is free and very quick.  It asks for an email address, but that's just for if you forget your password.  You can head here to register.

EDITOR'S UPDATE 7:10PM: Update in the comments but if you're in Yuba City and/or the Sacramento area, the game is apparently working on Channel 13 or Channel 58.  Thanks to diehardkingsfan5 for the heads-up.

EDITOR'S UPDATE 7:15PM: Check out http://www.justin.tv/kostatz to watch streaming video of the game.  Thanks to bondslegend!

GO NINERS!

Umm...

The game is on two different channels where I’m at. If anyone is in Yuba City or maybe the Sacramento area, the game is working on Channel 13 and 58.

He also looks like our best pure pass rusher.

There might be some kind of cause and effect going on there.

YESSS

Defensive pressure!

Besides that one slant to Morgan, it still looks like the same old sorry ass Niner O.

After watching the rest of the game...

Please allow me to amend my comment:

I just keep telling myself

The preseason means nothing.

There is ZERO Blitz pick up right now

by 408 on Aug 8, 2008 8:15 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

And the first time the protection holds up, 25 yard completion, so at least that feels good

Maybe it’s a good thing I can’t watch, then….

Alex Smith has to be the favorite at QB after tonight, but that was a sad sad offensive performance. At least the ball was being flung downfield by JT and Alex.

That was ugly

I’m sure Alex can feel the intense heat of his job “competition.”

Josh Morgan

I went to college with this kid, and I tell you what… I wish he had shown that much skill in Lane Stadium. He rocked tonight!

by Cruithear on Aug 9, 2008 12:18 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Shite

Martz hasta realize that his flingin offense won’t work without a line.
Not too good protection in this game. At all.

MURS for President!!!!!!!

by jtoj on Aug 9, 2008 1:01 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I missed the game, but...

Did it look like they were throwing to any “hot” receivers? If the blitz pickup was that bad, maybe the goal will be to allow other teams to blitz and then to throw a short pass to a receiver who can make significant YAC. Could anyone tell?

by rufio on Aug 10, 2008 6:07 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

i'll check it out

Can’t get to it tonight, but I’ll check it out tomorrow afternoon. I’m not sure how well I can pick up the hot read passes (as compared to planned plays), but I’ll see what I can do.
