Nate is not being put on IR Sing said.

Staley sounds like he’s out for an undetermined but not-so-short period of time…I’d expect a few games at least based on Singletary’s tone.

He was impressed and seems to have a lot of confidence in Alex Smith. Sounds too like the offense will evolve to take advantage of what our players do best and to NOT do what we don’t do well.

He was not impressed however with Morgan’s penalty for excessive celebration.

that’s good, still no word on how long he’s out though.

The first half was well played by the Niners. The defensive effort against Manning was nothing short of HEROIC. Holding Manning to nothing but field goals is a victory for the defense. Alex Smith had a decent game going. He wasn’t perfect, but he was getting the job done. There was no need to change offensive philosophies at the half when what you are doing is WORKING!! Too bad Jimmy Raye decided at the half to go back to his “Run and Done” offense that has just KILLED the Niners momentum in every game they have tried it. That is why the Niners lost yesterday.

   Raye should be S T R I P P E D of his play calling duties. He wont be of coarse, but there are certainly legitimate reasons for taking away the play calling from Raye. Plays are coming in so late it causes delay of game penalties, Plays that even the offensive players know wont work. Changing the philosophy at halftime away from what is working to a run oriented attack that hasn’t worked all YEAR!. I think Singletary is going to have to address this problem in his staff that is costing the Niners games. If the Niners had just kept their foot on the pedal and kept throwing from the shotgun yesterday, they would have scored more points and maybe won that game. Instead, Raye reverted back to his “Run and Done” offense with it’s predictable 1st down run, no gain. 2nd down run, no gain, 3rd and long and the defense is playing pass. Incomplete. PUNT! Is the idea to burn clock? Because the “Run and Done” offense doesn’t score points. It doesn’t fool the other team at all. It is easy to defend for the opposite team. It’s too predictable. And most importantly, the Niners do not have the personnel to force a power running game. The Offensive line just isnt good enough even when they are all healthy. Raye needs to stop going to the “Run and Done” offense with a slim lead and little chance of success.

he wasn’t upset about not starting. just wants to be a good teammate

by the time 9ers news starts rolling in…i’m logging off and starting to bathe my sons, dinner, etc. I do get tweets from MM via SMS but nice to read full articles…oh well. maybe I’ll move to SF when I win the lottery…cause that’s the only way I can afford a Cali lifestyle.

Any chance you could do a quick rundown of available FA OLs (and maybe CBs). I don’t know if the team is considering adding anything to the line but we’re so thin at tackle and Boone isn’t ready it might be worth investing a proven vet who might last the rest of the season given that they’ve missed training camp and the first half.

Thoughts anyone?
