Golden Nuggets: Stay classy

by James Brady on Dec 15, 2009 3:00 AM PST in 49ers Links

Good morning, everyone. How 'bout them Niners, am I right? Ok, to the poster who's told me three times now that if I lose my voice cheering for the 49ers they'd win, this marks the third time it has worked. I'm going to ask you NOT to tell me to do that for the Lions game, I almost feel like this thing is special and we should save it for when we need it, the 49ers don't need that luck for that game. Moving on, I would really like to talk about the game but man I'm not sure how long I'm allowed to rant on here. What I will say is... when I pulled up to tailgate there was a van, a huge van full of... Steelers fans? Yeah, I was kind of confused, then I realized why they were there. There was 10-15 of them and they all sat in the seats RIGHT in front of where the Cardinals come out from the locker room... Every time the Cardinals came past they rose up and waved terrible towels in their faces. So hilarious, they got on the video boards and everything. Stay classy, defending super bowl champs, stay classy. Anyway, I've ranted enough, here's your links.

I don't like the use of "sloppy Cards" in this title because I don't want anything taken away from the 49ers, they FORCED fumbles, the Cardinals didn't just drop us balls. (SacBee.com)

So yeeeah, the 49ers swept the Cardinals. Awesome. (NFL.com)

Jed York had a lot of good things to say about Singletary and Raye. (SacBee.com)

York also said that Singletary and McClougan have job security through 2010, which I guess is good. (SacBee.com)

So technically the 49ers aren't eliminated from playoff contention. Keep the faith. (49ers.com)

The game was pretty balanced between run vs pass. (SacBee.com)

The offense did seem pretty different this time around. (Yahoo.com)

Here's a 49ers report card from Maiocco. (PressDemocrat.com)

It certainly did seem like the 49ers were taking out their frustrations on the Cards yesterday. Sweet. (PressDemocrat.com)

The Cardinals got.... "Singletaried?" (PressDemocrat.com)

It feels good to at least hold off the Cardinal playoff celebration. (MercuryNews.com)

mark roman

also forced the fumble he recovered and you deserved to lose when you let mark roman make a play

Fun game

Maybe I lost all hope of getting to the playoffs, but I was able to sit back and enjoy this game. I could let it unfold like a beautiful cosmic dance.

1. Sometimes with all those runs up the middle for minus two yards you forget it, but when Frank Gore gets a little daylight he’s is simply great. Last night it seemed like the Niners used the pass to open the run. And it worked.

2. I’m not an Alex Smith hater and hope that he does well, but my evaluation of him took a step back last night. He wasn’t as accurate as he had been in earlier games, and having a completion percentage hovering around 50% won’t cut it. I heard McCloughan on the pregame on radio, and he said that Alex is stepping up but if there’s a QB that they’re interested in and he’s on the board they won’t be afraid to grab him. You never have too many quarterbacks. Long short, Alex has a long way to go to get to the top of the mountain.

3. The Niner defense is pretty damned good.

battle

there were probably more lowlights going around lasr night that i probably ignored but i just can’t ignore arnaz and the way he’s playing. he got lucky the ball went out of bounds on the muff and I can’t believe he picked up the ball on the 4 yard line in a crowd of cards around it knowing he could only get a yard or so out of it. seems like he’s forcing humself to be a playmaker and he just is not.
