San Francisco 49ers vs. Atlanta Falcons Open Thread

PrintAtlanta Falcons at San Francisco 49ers, Oct 11, 2009 1:05 PM PDT
Date: October 1, 2009
Time: 1:05pm PST
Location: Bill Walsh Field @ Candlestick Park, San Francisco, CA
Records: 49ers (3-1) Falcons (2-1)
Bodoglife.com Spread: 49ers -2.5; Over/Under 40.5; Money Line: 49ers -140, Falcons +120 - A 2.5 point spread is rather interesting. The home team automatically gets 3 points. So I guess oddsmakers view the Falcons as just a touch better minus the home field. Give me the 49ers and the under, but just barely.
Weather: 58°F, 8mph SW Wind
TV Broadcast: FOX - Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston, Tony Siragusa
Radio: 107.7 The Bone, 680/1050 KNBR - Ted Robinson, Gary Plummer, Rod Brooks
Spanish Radio: KIQI 1010-AM, KATD 990-AM - Mathias Godinez, Melvin Moran, Marcos Gutierrez
Falcons Coverage: The Falcoholic
Week 5 Prediction Contest: If you missed out on the early games, you can still make predictions for tonight and tomorrow.
Injuries
49ers: Out - RB Frank Gore (ankle, foot), S Reggie Smith (groin), LB Jeff Ulbrich (concussion); Questionable - LB Marques Harris (hamstring); Probable - G David Baas (ankle), WR Arnaz Battle (hand), LB Manny Lawson (illness), CB Allen Rossum (back), LB Patrick Willis (abdomen)
Falcons: Out - S Antoine Harris (knee); Probable - K Jason Elam (left hamstring), RB Ovie Mughelli (hamstring)
Inactives
49ers: QB Nate Davis, RB Frank Gore, KR Allen Rossum, C Cody Wallace, SS Reggie Smith, LB Jeff Ulbrich, LB Marques Harris, DT Ricky Jean-Francois
Falcons: QB John Parker Wilson, CB Tye Hill, FB Verron Haynes, S Antoine Harris, LB Spencer Adkins, OT Garrett Reynolds, OG Quinn Ojinnaka, DT Vance Walker.
The 49ers get a second chance to make a statement to the rest of the NFC today. The close loss to the Vikings showed they were a team to contend with, but not quite where they wanted to be. A win over Atlanta, even as a home game, would be another step in putting the rest of the league on notice about this team. Good teams win their home games no matter the opponent. The 49ers handled their business last week as they needed to. Now, they face a big challenge from a young and talented Atlanta Falcons team. Time to take care of business.
GO NINERS!

I hope no oen is looking for a stream today, because they all suck.
FIRE BRUCE BOCHY NOW!!!!!!
AND TAKE BRIAN SABEAN WITH HIM!!!!!
I was never really a huge fan of Rossum...
but why is he inactive again? Has the coaching staff really not noticed that Arnaz Battle can’t catch a punt cleanly to save his life? Forget the possibility of a big return – sooner or later, our inability to field a punt is going to cost us.
My pessimism goes to the point of suspecting the sincerity of the pessimists.

I definitely agree. One dropped punt could cost us the game. Put Spurlock in there. That will have the added bonus of knowing you can cut him if he fails too badly.

Please tell me Battle will not be returning!!

yeah Rossum put on a juggling act a couple weeks ago
but the man is a good returner nonetheless, I hope he returns soon, unless of course he keeps up the juggling routine

Is he active. I want him returning kicks not Walker or Battle. C’mon Everest and Singletary!!!!!

OchoCinco is a tough player
He’s not really all that much of a diva. Flashy sure, but he doesn’t cause dissension in the locker room and he plays really hard.
He says he's a diva and takes it as a compliment.

Just cause he says he's one doesn't make it true
I like watching him play. Last week against the Browns one of his O-line had to stop him from jumping into the Dog Pound, which I thought was very funny.

once again the refs are wearing their cold weather pants

I mean think about it, that was a fluke play. Have the ball tipped at the line then intercepted in the red zone? Shoot, you expect them to get that TD.
Agreed
Awfully tough situation to put your D in. I expect you’ll look much better throughout the game.

These kinds of penalties
come from when your team is not playing confident football, so they do stuff like that to even it up.

7 step drop and Ryan still had all day to throw.

What's up folks
Just getting here. Can’t say I’m happy, but I’m not entirely surprised. Coming out of a bye week, I expected Ryan to White to be particularly effective, did you freaking see Matt Ryan on that last TD throw? Quick play-fake, minute head and pump fake, drop the ball right in the back of the endzone, TD. That kid is for real.
Don't worry about me Thurgood, I'll be fine. The robbery is what's important now.
