in San Francisco 49ers Game Recap, Review 2011

The 49ers sent out post-game notes on the victory over the Detroit Lions, so I figured I'd post them after the jump. The format is a little funky, but you should be able to read them without too much trouble.
The 49ers head into their bye sitting at 5-1 for the first time since 1998 and won their first three road games of the season for the first time since 1992. I can't find the stat, but they have claimed three straight east coast games, which I believe is the first time that has happened for any west coast team in quite some time.
Individual notable performances abound as the team got big plays across the board. It wasn't a pretty victory, but here are a few of the notable names from the day:
Frank Gore: 15 rushes, 141 yards, 1 touchdown - He had several big gains throughout the game, but his performance on the 49ers first scoring drive was as big as anything. The 49ers were down 10-0 and out of sync. He rushed twice for 61 yards before punching in a one yard touchdown. The team was teetering heading into that drive and he righted the ship.
Aldon Smith: 4 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 pass deflection - Another week, another pair of sacks. He played every defensive snap of the second half due to an injury to Parys Haralson and held his own in his first snaps at outside linebacker. He has plenty of room for growth but he is off to a blazing start as a pass rusher. He has 5.5 sacks over his last three games and likely will be up for Rookie of the Week once again. Not too bad for a "project."
49ers front seven: Contained Jahvid Best and got some solid pressure on Matthew Stafford for much of the game. Five sacks and ten QB hits helped keep the Lions offense from getting into too much of a rhythm.
49ers secondary: It really was an overall impressive show. The 49ers secondary split up coverage of Calvin Johnson to multiple defensive backs. He had 113 receiving yards, but the drive of his biggest catch (41 yards) did not result in a score. There was no back-breaking play by Megatron and that is exactly how you contain him. It isn't pretty, but it's effective enough
I could go on and on, and through the coming week or two we'll have plenty to say about the 49ers' performances to date. For now though, head after the jump for your fill of stats
- San Francisco improved to 5-1 for the first time since 1998 and recorded their first four-game winning streak since 2001.
- The 49ers won their first three road games for the first time since 1992.
- The Niners won their 8th consecutive game over the Lions, the longest streak for the Niners vs. any opponent.

Looking back, Aldon was a great pick
If you're watching a blowout, you can pass the time by counting the double teapots.
Samurai Champloo > Macross
I am ready to admit I was wrong for hating the pick
thank goodness I don’t work for the 49ers front office
Yeah me too..
I think I might have hated it because “The 49ers have selected A.Smith” gave me Vietnam style flash backs
hahaha
I wanted Amukamara…. but Carlos Rogers has waaaaaay outperformed Prince. (well, that’s easy. The dude is injured)
Culliver has outperformed Prince as well lol

Follow @manraj76
When Jim Harbaugh says "more is more" I think he is trying to say Moore is more.
So instead of both
the FO worked it so we got Aldon and a viable alternative to Prince i Cully.
I mean think about it..we had 10 picks in the last draft.
Aldon looks to be a beast with 3.5 sacks in week 6 (Von Miller is doing a bit better than him at 5.0) and a safety.
Cully has 1 int and 3 passes deflected (same amount Peterson has)
Hunter has shown to be exceptional at the COP position.
Miller (a 7th rounder) although he flubbed up a bit today has looked quite viable.
And I think we can all say we have good faith and high hopes in Kaepernick, Kilgore, Person and even our UDFAs like Dobbs and Williams.
Kudos and claps to not only the player, not only Harbaugh ahd his coaching staff but Baalke and the FO as well.

It's even better than you think!!! Aldon
Now has 5.5 sacks after this game, and a forced fumble, and a safety — which should put him over Von. =)
I made the same mistake looking at the official stats last night — they aren’t updated for the week 6 games.
Also, Culliver and Aldon have equal or better stats to Peterson and Von despite FAR less playing time.
Yeah I trust my eyes more on secondary play
It’s hard to quantify something that doesn’t happen. But when I trust my eyes Culliver comes out way ahead of Peterson. He has the same problems in recognition and technique that he had at the college level without the overwhelming athletic advantage.
Here was my 50 in 50 on him before we drafted him:
Looking to be pretty close with the eval up to this point, eh? Still a long ways to go but I am happy we got him.

I read the whole piece
and i must say, you were spot on with your evaluation given how he has performed thus far. One other thing he has shown that you didn’t mention in your piece was the “it” factor. I’m not sure if you or others believe in that kind of stuff, but I do, and Aldon seems like he has “it”. As I mentioned in a previous post by Fooch, Aldon is the one guy on this team that, to me, seems to outperform the guy blocking him. Whether it’s his speed, strength, or skill, Aldon gets to the quarterback on a consistent basis, and I haven’t seen that in a while from the 49ers. Aldon impresses every week it seems.

Yup
He has a decent shot at DROY if Von Miller stumbles.

one for defense and one for offense
Newton will gobble up the O ROY
Von Miller and Aldon will battle for DROY
I thought drew said there was one main one?

I'd agree
Giants LB Jacquian Williams leads rookies in tackles. Quiet day today with only two, but I’d imagine he could stick around.
And Miller as well of course.

I think with this scheme, it's possible we see Smith put up Demarcus Ware rookie numbers
which would hands down be a lock for it.

Maybe the coaches thought that he wasnt ready
and that he hadnt learned the defensive scheme enough to get more snaps in those games
I'm sure that's the reason...
But maybe he was more ready than they expected.

I think it should be noted
that Aldon Smith’s “pass deflected” was really a dropped interception
If you're watching a blowout, you can pass the time by counting the double teapots.
Samurai Champloo > Macross
That thing was mailed to his doorstep
He refused delivery.
that counts as a deflection?
of course, if my arms were 10 feet long, i’d have problems getting my hands in position quickly enough too
His arms were probably the problem ...to long to get them in quick enough

Ball appears in hands!
WTH? Cant fault him
defensive end
gets a “pass”. Luckily he didn’t pick the ball up and eat it. Niners dropped a couple other picks as well. I don’t think abnormal number; probably 1/2 of all would be interceptions are dropped by defensive players… after all, if they could catch…

I believe it's 18 straight

Interesting stat
The Niners only sent an extra pass rusher on one play. That means those five sacks were all because of the front four.
That three-man rush where Justin Smith sacked him will always remain with me

You forgot to add, Safety, and Forced Fumble….to all that……

Frank Gore is on pace for 1442 yards this season!
And that’s after having a very slow first 3 games. Love it :)
Top 2 needs for draft next year.......
CB, can always use more of these guys
WR, Edwards may not stay, and the 49ers could use a Fitz.
I think we take a center or guard in the first two rounds
Alex Smith 86%+ QB rating with 22+ TDs this season, hopefully! :)
Yep, especially after they released Beeler.
Maybe they think Kilgore can play center. He definitely has the frame and he looks like a center.

Never have I been so happy...
…to be so wrong about the outcome of a game! I was sure we would get spanked, lol. What an unbelievable performance!
A Smith's QB rating dropped to 95 now after throwing a pick today
Hope they can get that passing game going a little bit more during the bye.
Braylon will give defenses just one more problem to think about.
It will actually probably help the run game get even stronger; which is pretty hard to imagine at this point… it’s already pretty damn good.

might be hard to imagine
but it sure is damn fun to imagine!
there are a couple passes that our WRs dropped today that Braylon would've caught.
Without him we don’t have anyone who makes those acrobatic catches on the sidelines.
Well
His rating can be 1.2 as long as he keeps throwing that game winning TD I suppose.

Who knows who said an expletive. If it wasn’t directed at him, he should either get over it or spend his Sunday’s in church. It’s a football field. I now better understand why many of the Lions fans posting on NN this week were so darn sensitive in their ability to roar their mouth but not take it in return: the HC is the same. Seems he only has any wit or personality about himself when he’s victorious.

Yea
I got the same sense from their whole team all week. Didn’t work out too well for em.
I feel like many people are completely misinterpreting Harbaugh’s emotion. It had absolutely nothing to do with Schwartz, the Lions, or Detroit in the slightest. You could see that in his post-game, it was all about his team and how proud he was of the way his players battled today, nothing more, nothing less.
I don’t get the sense Harbaugh really cares about anything too much outside of his locker room.
Yeah, we shouldn't care what other fans think about him either
screw them! Our season is going too well to care about their crappy opinions

At least a good pash rush
But I think since, the first Favre season this team lost a lot of good players. Coaching could also be better, at least they took Singletary from us :D
Today was closure from the loss in Minnesota in '09
Very similar scenario of a young team looking for a prove yourself 10AM road win vs a team that will be in the playoffs. There were questionable calls by the ref that day. The team came from behind to take the lead in the 4Q. That team got a 4th down stop on defense but dropped a pick-6 to clinch it. The offense ran the ball to use up all opponent’s timeouts and then trusted their D to clinch the game. Today, our D went back out there and sealed it, first by getting a sack on the first play, then finishing out a win vs a Lions offense that knew they were beaten. That day was the official arrival of Vernon Davis. Today may be the official arrival of Aldon Smith. That team missed the playoffs in large part because of what that loss represented. This team is 5-1 and riding a wave of talent, coaching, and confidence that were not present two seasons ago.
- Thank you SF Giants for an incredible 2010 season and painting the City orange & black!
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
Lions need to look at opposing team records, Niners opponents have better records thus far, the Lions just actually faced a real winning team this week and lost in the end.
Good I want them and the rest of the league to have that mentality
So when this team outplays and outcoaches them they will be like “What the hell just happened, we werent suppose to lose that game”
Except Dallas, stragely
And not just because they won. I think they realized how lucky they were to escape with a win and to play us in week 2 instead of a month later.
- Thank you SF Giants for an incredible 2010 season and painting the City orange & black!
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
I think they predicted a slew of Niners excuses after we lost
So they’ve decided to keep that half true by making their own. After all, how many of them posted that talent doesn’t mean anything while dissing our win over the talented Eagles? Perhaps they are more talented. We’re a better team. End of day, that’s what matters.
- Thank you SF Giants for an incredible 2010 season and painting the City orange & black!

I think it's safe to say
we’ve got the best overall defense in the league, other than Baltimore. Lions fans are in denial
This is one bad paint job, but you get the point
"You play to win the playoffs, and we let 'em off the hook!" -Herm Mora Green
I think they're really irked by the fact that
they got beat by a team led by Alex Smith…who came out of nowhere when he’s supposed to have long since been a ‘bust’.
This
That’s what pissed me off the most about the Lions fans, and its not just them even the other teams that we have beaten. I understand where they are coming from by labeling him a “bust”, but that word gets thrown around so much about Alex it drives me crazy.
He didnt have the statistical game Stafford put together, but AleX put it together in the end to put us on top. And props to the O-Line they came up huge in the last drive of the game.

If one is using the term “rape” when discussing someone else being a douche, they are proof that terms harsh enough may yet to exist to describe themselves.
And that’s without getting into who their HC is, how he conducts himself, and the state that he intentionally left a college program. Get a clue field gulls.

We didn't have the players last year
Not enough. To win close games, especially on the road, you have to be able to rush the QB and defend the pass. The maturity of Bowman, addition of Whitner and Rodgers, drafting of Aldon Smith and Culliver, and better disciplined play from Goldson has made this a whole new D. Harbaugh’s addition shows itself most in who some of his assistants are (special teams, D-coordiantor, secondary coach) and his handling of the offense, Alex Smith specifically.
- Thank you SF Giants for an incredible 2010 season and painting the City orange & black!
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
There's a big mental aspect to
Or the ‘culture’ if that’s how you want to classify it. Even when Sing was improving the team it wasn’t like now, where everyone has all their chips in. Interviews from various players end up sounding similar as they are all saying essentially the same things.
No disagreement
Just saying that we now have better players too, especially in areas that matters most (DL, DB). But I give my biggest credit to JH for his coaching of the offense. I think the media focused on the change at HC but missed the improvement of player addition.
- Thank you SF Giants for an incredible 2010 season and painting the City orange & black!
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
Sing was an awful coach
he had no idea how to actually gameplan.
This was most evident when Tomsula was interim coach. I think VD was saying how refreshing it was to have a coach that had contingency plans for “if X then Y”

Doesn't look like he's lost a step..
… But man I wish he could be a tad faster so he could stop getting caught from behind.
But, he’s still great at what he does.
He used to easily outrun defenders before
Back in those days when he would get 200+ yards a game. He always wouldn’t have a problem with getting caught from behind. I think his hip injury last season really slowed him down.

he still has a good burst
but he cant keep the burners as long as you used to. Once he gets in the secondary he just can’t keep up the speed.
I think he always looked like that.
Gore had two knee surgeries before he even got started in the NFL, right? Never been a blazing speed guy. Just super strong, hard to bring down, fast enough, great vision… not to mention great in pass protection and a good pass catcher. His main problems were fumbles at the outset of his career, he’s not a burner, and… um…. injuries, I guess.

I mean sheesh the season is NOT over at all by any means, anything can happen. Either way I’m happy as a 49er fan that on their bye week they get to eat more crow as if they took an “L” this week!!!

Further down
Most people were ragging on Schwartz, but initially they were dogging Harbaugh.
What I found funny is:
1. They think every team we beat had a colossal meltdown. One poster mentioned how maybe our Defense played a role in that, it was quickly dismissed…haha
2. They seem to think now their best chance is for us to get about 12 wins and they think they can secure a WC spot…
12 win season is a tad unexpected
Also, their inferiority complex to us is simply astounding.

looked like they were attacking him all the time in the red zone
Lions must have thought that was a weakness
9 out of 10 times
the Lions were wrong on attacking P-52
not really. he was promoted from LB coach here, too.
everybody loved the move when it happened, he was just in way over his head.

Your relief and gratitude at seeing him on someone elses’ sideline. He’s probably relieved as well. He was in way over his head.

that was Schwartz plans
he didn’t want highlights of his team losing

Did you see in the 4th when Vandenbosch was getting worked on on the sideline. They are 9 deep in the D-Line and Vandenbosch looked like he just went 12 rounds in a heavy wheight fight. With all the penalties the O-Line got they came up big today. They beat the crap out of that “vaunted” Lion front

Did you see the 3rd Transformers movie?
Were you as disappointed as I am that Optimus Prime executed Sentinal Prime who was defeated and begging for mercy?
Autobots not a fan of the Geneva conventions or military honor.
I was okay with it.
Prime killing by necessity was okay by me. BTW, I loved the third one. Made me forget about Revenge of the Fallen.
The only thing I wish was different was I wanted a good 15 minute brawl with Optimus and Megatron. That was the only thing it lacked for me.
But I’m a TF geek. I could talk that stuff all day. LoL
"The Harbaughcolypse is upon us. No one in the NFL is safe"
what what what… again here, no offense to you
but the new TF (Michael Bay) is week compared to the OG, seriously any geek knows this, hope you agree
Bay has the action down
but his 14 year old humor gets old. But for action, there is NOBODY better. Gotta take the bad with the good i guess.
And for sure, even though I enjoy all the Bay movies for action and such, NOTHING will ever touch Generation 1. NOTHING.

No problem. I did not like how they tried to replace OP. Then tried to bring him. but I love the saga

I though the movie was terrible
but not as bad as I had anticipated after the god awful #2.
But it was weird how anticlimatic the ending was. The “final” battles were like 5 seconds long. I forgot how Megatron died. He kinda just died at the end.
Anticlimatic, yes
but still very awesome to see in 3D.
"The Harbaughcolypse is upon us. No one in the NFL is safe"
really?
I thought the 3d was totally unneccessary. The theater was only showing the 3D version when we went, ended up paying an extra 15 dollars for a marginally better spectacle with a major headache afterward.
3D never gives me a headache
But I’ve only watched a couple movies with 3D. Wasn’t necessary, but I enjoyed it.
Movies shot in 3D don’t give me headaches. Films converted to 3D do, and never look as clean.
"The Harbaughcolypse is upon us. No one in the NFL is safe"
I dunno, 3D still feels kinda gimmicky to me
Avatar kinda pulled it off without looking gimmicky, but that film was so bad that it didn’t matter.
(What was I expecting? The spectacle was the whole point of the movie.)
Hot Rod!
Rodiomus Prime… the OG movie proved Optimus was mortal
I was the biggest Prime fan EVER when that came out when I was a kid.
I still hate Judd Nelson to this day because of Hot Rod. LoL

New report shows that niners are actually interested in Lloyd...
Might not be a bad move, considering their pedestrian WR play
Gotta wonder how much of this has to be:
Alex Smith getting no time, Alex Smith missing throws, WR’s not getting separation
I don’t think it will effect things one way or the other …primarily because it’s not been that bad and at times has looked really good

Lloyd, Crabtree, Edwards, Walker, and Davis
Yes, please. I’d take that. Depending on what they are asking for. I heard on SC it would be a 3-5 round pick, I think.

I’d rather have Marshall. The guy can make a play off short passes.

Please No
as much as I liked Lloyd and was upset when we didn’t have him anymore… times have changed! We need more Kyle!
You can probably come up with quite a few reasons not to get Brandon Llyod.
Kyle Williams really has no business being one of them, though. And this is coming from someone who thinks Williams can be good.

Me too, I want to see more. In my opinion, they should have put Williams right into Morgan's role and simply went as though we still had Morgan.
I think that would answer a myriad of questions.
