Golden Nuggets: So the winning formula is...?

by James Brady on Dec 18, 2009 3:00 AM PST in 49ers Links

Morning everyone. I'm doing these links early tonight as I have a lot of important things to do tomorrow and I need to make sure I'm up at the appropriate time. I should have enough links for you but if you find any that I miss, make sure you post them up in the comments. Actually, I'm kind of in a hurry too and have a lot to do before bed so I'll quit talking pretty quick here. Looking forward to the Eagles game, etc etc, wondering when Indy will ever lose, flip-flopping on my opinion on how Sunday's game will go and all that good stuff. I'll just jump right into your links. Enjoy.

The 49ers have been looking for a winning formula.. Have they found it? (49ers.com)

After the win on Sunday, the Eagles have definitely taken notice of the 49ers. (Yahoo.com)

Smith did a good job of getting the Cardinals to jump offsides Sunday... but it'll be a lot more difficult to prefect the hard count on the road. (PressDemocrat.com)

Alex Smith has Jimmy Raye's full backing, who says the offense is more geared towards the passing game now. (SacBee.com)

So... is Alex Smith the guy? (SFGate.com)

I suppose it all depends on the last three games. (Scout.com)

Just an update for those not on the East coast....

I live in the East Coast, and they are calling for a ton of snow on Saturday, and maybe a little sunday morning. Do you think this will have a major effect in the Niners chance of winning? I surely hope not.

Well one positive could be....

If it is too cold for an effective passing game (dropped balls and what not), and it forces the Eagles to a ground game (which San Frans rush defense is pretty darn outstanding, 5th best).

Interesting blog entry by Sando about receivers that catch the ball short of the first down marker on third down but still get the first down anyway. Apparently Crabtree’s got five conversions in such situations, trailing the leader, Brandon Marshall, by only two (and Crabtree’s missed games). I know that the one big thing missing from Crabtree is that RAC ability that he showed at Tech. However, I’d say that this is a pretty encouraging development, and is a very great start.
