PrintThanks to the home game, the 49ers will not be on until 1:15pm pacific time. In the meantime, we've got a host of intriguing match-ups for you to enjoy. If you don't have the NFL Red Zone channel to enjoy the games, feel free to check out the discussion in here. Here are a few of the better match-ups of the day.
Cardinals-Bears
The biggest for 49ers fans is the NFC West leading Arizona Cardinals traveling to Soldier Field to take on the wildly inconsistent Chicago Bears. Both teams are 4-3, but Chicago gets the home field edge. The Bears have struggled on the road, but are fairly solid at home, which could lead to a tough game for the Cardinals. Of course, nobody really knows what Cardinals team will show up given their inconsistencies.
Ravens-Bengals
This game has huge AFC North implications. A Bengals win would secure a season sweep of the Ravens and put the Bengals further in the driver's seat for a playoff spot. A Ravens win leaves the AFC North further muddled.
Texans-Colts
The Texans are flying high on a 3-game winning streak, while the Colts are coming off a tough win over our 49ers. The Texans have been looking to turn the corner from a .500 team and a win at Indianapolis would give them a whole lot of credibility.
We'll be opening up our 49ers-Titans thread at 12:30, but feel free to enjoy the morning games in the meantime.

If Bochy coached the Warriors Bengie Molina would start every game at PG.

Punched Lutui right in the face. Got through the face mask too.

OMG Cutler has an amazing arm. Made two perfect like 40 yard passes.
If Bochy coached the Warriors Bengie Molina would start every game at PG.
I’m scared just thinking about what he will do to the Niners defense.

Yeah, he is not the guy you want to give all day to make passes.

Why
when I watch the Cardinals, do I hope that Warner gets his clock cleaned?

But the Cards slicing through the Bears' defense

I’m never sitting Rivers myself. Interesting though that ESPN thinks Smith will have a better game.

Rackers popped up a kick.
That’s Balmer territory.

Did anyone else see that kickoff for Bears?
Wow. Bears suck. Luckily they got it back.
I’m not going to lie. I am not intimidated by this team whatsoever.
Remember how Balmer got all those kick returns last year?
At least one of them was against the Cards.

28-7
Now the only reason to root is to see key injuries to the teams.

Cardinals
Will be a tough game down the stretch. If they hold, I’m now predicting them 10-6, just looking at the sched. We need to sweep them this year to bring home the division. Of course we will probably end up 12-4 running the last nine games and all
Looking to put San Fran*six-o* here some time soon!
They're winning on the road but losing at home
So their home games against Minnesota and Green Bay are far from assured. And they won’t go 8-0 on the road so, so long as the lone loss is here. we’re all good.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
Go Texans!!!
I never hated the Colts until last week…
Yes rlott#42, Crabtree...needs to hold onto the ball
Dumbass Texans keep giving Moats carries
You’re down by 13
Throw to Slaton!

What we've got here is a failure to communicate.
i've said it before and i'll say it again
I hate the NFL and their stupid regional scheduling. I also hate the fact that they adjust the scheduling to make sure I don’t ever get to see the Niners on TV. Can someone explain why I am going to be stuck watching the Giants/Chargers game when the state I live in is RIGHT NEXT TO TENNESSEE.

They just turned off the Cardinals game
said it sucked so bad, so here’s the Packers game
Let's bring the...
Anyone see the Falcons HC get into it with a Redskins player?
When Sing had a word with Dahl during the SF-ATL game, some media types called him out for making a comment to an opponent’s player that wasn’t even caught on TV. Will Smith now be called a hot-head or out of control for being part of a player scrum on the sideline?

Mike Smith won't get any heat
But I did see that he was getting his ass kicked.

He should get some heat
He job is to be the adult and help break up the fight not keep it going. Plus without any pads he could’ve gotten himself hurt.

They switched to Green Bay-Tampa in the Bay Area.
What’s the over/under on Sam Rosen creaming over Brett Favre?

At least the Texans are making a game of it
losing 10-13, 3rd qtr
Yes rlott#42, Crabtree...needs to hold onto the ball
Bucs
I know they are awful but for all the talk about their young HC, the team has certainly not quit on him. And despite not having a ton of talent they do seem prepared.
