49ers 24, Eagles 23 Recap: Justin Smith Seals The Deal, Frank Gore Leads The Way In 49ers' Win
by James Brady on Oct 2, 2011 1:38 PM PDT
in San Francisco 49ers Game Recap, Review 2011
Email
PrintGoing into the second half, the 49ers looked like they were heading toward a significantly embarrassing loss. Turns out, they'll only be significantly embarrassed by some things, and they won't have a loss at all. A second-half comeback led them from a 17-point deficit to a one-point win. Third quarter touchdowns to Joshua Morgan and Vernon Davis were outshined only by the amazing play Justin Smith made in the fourth quarter, tracking down Jeremy Maclin as he took the ball into San Francisco territory (and field goal range) and stripping the ball, forcing the fumble and halting the potential Philadelphia Eagles comeback.
The 49ers have Frank Gore to thank for this win, with 127 yards and a touchdown off of fifteen rushes, including some big ones near the end of the game. Gore's first rush of the game was for 40-yards, and San Francisco knew they'd be able to run the ball. A fifteen-yard facemask penalty on the Eagles during the 49ers comeback drive helped boost them to an eventual Gore touchdown. Kendall Hunter contributed to the game-winning drive with a great run off a toss to the left side, where Vernon Davis made a huge block to spring him.
Joshua Morgan hauled in a beautiful 30-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter to jump-start the 49ers' comeback, not hesitating at all on the slant route and getting through untouched. A nine-yard touchdown pass to Davis on the next possession would put the 49ers within one possession. Alex Smith was 21-for-33 with 291 yards and two touchdowns, with no interceptions.
As noted, it wasn't all good. Smith had a bad fumble where he essentially shrieked out of terror with Jason Babin in his face. The defense gave up huge chunks of yardage to DeSean Jackson, notably on a 60+ yarder with Tarell Brown on coverage. The aforementioned Babin had three sacks on the day, and he made Anthony Davis look absolutely terrible.
But it's a win. A comeback win in which the 49ers didn't roll over after the first half, and a win in which they fought off the Eagles at the end instead of bending/breaking once again. I'll have a more in-depth recap a little later, but for now some bullet points after the jump. Go Niners!
- Gore's ankle looks fine, he showed a lot of acceleration through the line, but lacked top-end speed. It's not the first time he's been caught from behind, though. He slowed down a little as the game went on, and then seemed to pick it back up again. At worst, he'll be inconsistent this year.
- Kendall Hunter is an offensive weapon. Still a little raw, and the 49ers are probably asking too much of him too soon, and the Eagles keyed in on it at times. Early on in the second half, they forced him the ball on plays that are well-designed, but ill-fitted for sequence.
- Joe Staley has been a huge disappointment, for me especially. He's not very strong, and he's making mistakes. We've reached a point where Staley should be the one guy on the line not getting false starts, but he's still doing it. Immaturity is the opposite of what this offensive line needs right now.
- Why in the world does Alex Smith throw to Michael Crabtree like he's nine feet tall? He always throws it way high and hard. I'm glad Crabtree's catching is as good as advertised, because that's ridiculous. Still, Crabtree had himself a good game when it all came down to it
- Patrick Willis doesn't look slow or anything like that - not by a long shot, but he did turn the corner badly in the first half on a play in which he was spying Michael Vick and certainly should have stopped him. NaVorro Bowman also didn't make the play that time, but Bowman got him good in the third quarter, wrapping him up on third down short of the first-down marker.
- Aldon Smith had good pressure throughout the game and is a bright spot for the 49ers. There's not much else to say there. The scary thing: he actually started a little late on a couple of those plays, so once he gets his timing down ... should be good.
- On the blocked field goal, Chilo Rachal and Mike Iupati twiiddled their thumbs and didn't make any blocks in the middle of the line. Oops.
- The offensive line needs to be evaluated, to be sure, but I have an issue with the constant switching at right guard. Adam Snyder was in, and then Rachal, and then Snyder again ... while we need to figure out who is better, switching them with that level of regularity in a game situation is only going to make things worse. The best offensive lines have chemistry and consistency, and every time you make that switch, it requires an adjustment of the center, right tackle and fullback. It's not good for the line.
- David Akers didn't look great ... but neither did Alex Henery. I bet he's thinking "ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

It might be getting close to the time when you should start to think about perhaps changing
from Alex Smith is garbage,
to Alex Smith is almost OK.
just wanted to say...
I just wanted to say I fully expected Alex Smith to blow the game when it counted as he usaly does. However, I can honestly say I am very impressed by the job Jim Harbaugh has done making Alex Smith look good. Yes I said it, Alex Smith looked good, and yes I am giving that credit to Harbaugh. Until Smith can do it week in and week out I will not change my tune toward him as being a flop and needing to be cut. I will say though, for the first time since Norv Turner in my eyes, has Alex Smith showed a glimpse of promiss and what may be potential to be something more. Belive me, I would so love to eat crow on this, I would get my hot sause out and tuck my napkin in my shirt, and love every bite if Alex Smith turned his carrear around and turned out to be something, but I still highly doubt it.
pretty much sums up how i feel too
so nope. not ready to remove alex is garbage from my sig yet.
Alex Smith is garbage...
THAT WAS AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
YES ALEX, YES JUSTIN SMITH, YES FRANK, YES BOWMAN, YES P WILL, YES McDONALD, YES VERNON, YES KENDALL

I'd say the fumble kind of
handed us the game. I still think that the Eagles win this match up 9 out of 10 games, but to go in there and compete is impressive.
Right...
Cause this team did nothing to put themselves in a place to win in the second half.
Good call.
Handed us the game?

They made mistakes
We made mistakes.
You could as easily say Akers missed field goal and the 6 point swing on the FG block were gifts to the Eagles that made us need that 3rd TD to win instead of being ahead with the 2nd.

Margin of victories in NFL is generally very small
Which is why W-L records are not the best predictor of future succes
very well said...
but did you mean the “difference between winning and losing in the NFL is very small”?. Or did you simply mean that the margin of victory — the final score — and naturally then the margin of a loss, in the NFL is very small?
Does it really matter?
You are just here to kick the bee hive anyway.

Eh, either way
games are close. sometimes it’s a matter of luck. Does a fumble bounce to the left or to the right? Does a tipped ball fall to the ground on to a defender?
Sometimes it’s a bit of luck, pure and simple, that makes the diffirence.
I think it is as simple as Jim Harbaugh using the force
There is no other way to explain two botched snaps hopping right back up into Alex Smith’s hands.
I only ask
because knowing which one you meant is important because the two are making very different points.
I would have to disagree
I think you would be splitting hairs just for the sake of disagreeing.
To me, the basic point stands either way: games in the NFL are generally close.
I think you may be right either way (whichever way you intended)
but I don’t think both statements are making the same point.
The "difference between winning and losing in the NFL is very small" appears to be saying there are many instances/factors that create the difference in each particular game between coming out on top and leaving the field a loser.
The other way — the outcome (score) margin is very small, i.e., NFL games are generally close games — is just a descriptive statement about outcomes rather than a statement about why those outcomes generally occur.
or does a fumble stay on the sideline instead of bouncing outta bounds
Give tha guy a break...I remember losing most of our games because of mistakes by players that did not play the quarterback position.
I'm sure Norv Turner is a good judge of a good QB...even he said the guy can be good w/ quality people around him.

Only thing that matters is getting the 'W'... and that is what it boils down to.
Niners have been winning… even if they keep it up, some will just find a reason to bitch, whine, moan, and complain about every tiny detail of the game.
Let’s all just enjoy the ‘W’, eh? At least those of us who really love seeing our team win, no matter what.

Awesome, awesome
Our offense in the 2nd half was inspiring. I can’t remember the last time they scored when we needed it badly.
I can, they do it quite a bit.
They just don’t do it consistently. They get one or at most two scores and then fall short. This was consistency, and it was something special. Loved it.
I missed most of the first half :(
Any thoughts on why the inept look in the first half? The second looked great. JH seemed to really turn AS loose, but at 23-3 they had no choice. Were we the same conservative team in the first half that we have been most of the season, or were we just as aggressive, but failing to execute? I am curious if JH pegged this game and specifically the second half as a breakout opportunity to showcase things the team has not yet shown.
This cannot be said enough! I love Justin Smith’s motor!

Alex Smith led 4th quarter drives to win the game
Did anyone think this day would ever come last year when we were mired in a miserable 0-5 start and the Singletary regime was collapsing?
I hope it's a non-issue
And Alex takes it and runs with it.
"Bears are crazy, Willie. They'll bite your head off if you're wearing steak on it."
Me too.
I hated on him from time to time to, but in my opinion, he’s earned it. He put up with a lot of stuff that some other QBs would have never even considered. He’s tough, and it shows.
"Bears are crazy, Willie. They'll bite your head off if you're wearing steak on it."
I didn't think he had that in him, but he so does now
and Harbaugh is the one who brought it out of him. After a questionable first half, there were some simply genius calls on offense in the second half and Alex executed most of them.

Over the past four or five years, the 49ers have gotten some media attention they didn’t deserve. For how many years in a row have we gotten a bit of preseason hype “this is their year!” and we never came through.
It’s totally reasonable for people to want us to prove it.

The team that's expected to be in competition is always going to get the majority of the headlines.
Once we start showing we’re consistently a threat to win these games, and it doesn’t feel like games like the Cowboy game are there for the other team’s taking (eg, they can just decide to turn it on and score at will) this will change.
For now, so what?
Flying under the radar provides it’s own unique form of joy.
Haha, I'm cool with the "Eagles lose" instead of "49ers won" headlines
because the 49ers get the Win no matter what.
If they go 10-6 or something, it won’t matter.
I saw this as well
and i think its a bunch of nonesense they still treat us like this even after a great comeback against a nine point favorite Vick led eagles team..

I'm still smiling
when was the last time we had a win like that? I can’t freakin’ remember.
Sad but true
But I sure ain’t sad. What a stunning comeback. And on the road. In Philly!
Justin Smith is something else. 100% Effort! 100% Class!
All I'm saying is.
Dashon, that’s why you are on the team and Nate isn’t. Go down and secure the football.
Alex Smith 86%+ QB rating with 22+ TDs this season, hopefully! :)
Justin Smith is the best defensive lineman in the league
Yep DEFENSIVE LINEMAN, not just 3-4 end
Alex Smith 86%+ QB rating with 22+ TDs this season, hopefully! :)
whoa there guys...
…he can’t be underrated (look at his contract), but he is very good. but saying best has my eyebrows raised.
Since when
Do we rate players based on their contracts…smh
so we can all agree
the team is going the right directions hahah

good team win
special thx though goes out to the defense and harbaugh’s guts on that third and 7 and chose to run the ball and pick up the first down.
I hope Alex continues to play this good, and wins over most everybody, fans and media.
He’s put up with a lot (mostly probably deserving), but he seems to truly want to make it work as a Niner. A lot of athletes would have been glad to get out of his situation, but he has toughed it out. This season as me pulling for Alex more than ever.

Roddy White stripped the Niners and humiliated them. Different team, but it feels great all the same.

ESPN Title "49ers score 21 in second half, charge past free-falling Eagles"

Really? Free-fall? So the 49ers D had nothing to do with that?
Don't be so sensitive
The Eagles and Vick were so hyped pre-season, so their 1-3 start is newsworthy. The Niners’ comeback still leads the story.

No it does not
That two week love fest for Romo has left the taste of vomit in my mouth. We SHOULD be 4-0, but there is nothing to do about it this year, except continue to win games and beat teams that no one gives us a chance against – and a few that we should win (say hello Rams, Seahawks, and Cardinals). I hope we remember that game all year and use it to motivate us to finish 60 minutes every time!
The niners have
shown a very slim margin for victory; I think it is putting too much of emphasis on outcomes, them being 3-1, as reason to conclude that there are any teams, even in the NFC West, that we “should” beat or are clearly superior to.
Are you trying to give me a reality check?
Screw that! I want to BELIEVE!
This is the PROGRESS that I was talking about!

This is fantastic.
How many times have we seen the prototypical Alex Smith comeback before only to come up just short? Happened when he first got the job back in Houston and a few more times that year. Happened last year against this Eagles team after the “We Want Carr” fiasco. This time the team didn’t fall apart at the end and all the credit in the world to them.
Sometimes it’s the little things that contribute to a big comeback like this. Less stupid plays. Better execution to get the ball into the red zone. Holding the line on defense in the red zone. Sometimes all it takes is a first down here and a first down there to keep drives going. Execution overall was simply better and it paid off when we needed it the most.
Mad props to everyone on the team for pulling this one off.
Honestly, we might have easily lost
had Justin Smith not done one of the best plays in a long long time.
Everybody came up huge today

except Akers :(
I almost had a heart attack seeing that Eagles defending flying by for a potential blocked XP
Those are the kind of plays this team has lacked for years
That’s the turnaround we all hoped/thought Harbaugh could bring here. Lovely to see it coming to fruition already against a good team.
That's the thing.
Last year we’d come up just short. Same with the year before. A few plays turn out differently and we get a few extra wins. This year that’s happening. It’s really nice to be on the right side of a close game this time around.
Last year there is no way that snap bounces rite up into Alex's hands ...!!
I'm your " Huckelberry "...it's just my game ...Jimmy Raye your no daisy ...!!
Right
The NFL IS a league where the margin between victory and defeat is small; last year, and previous season’s, we have found ways to lose. Today, we found a FEW different ways to seal the win.
The second half was the best I’ve seen this team look in a couple years.

Bingo ... ( The second half was the best I’ve seen this team look in a couple years ) ...!!
I'm your " Huckelberry "...it's just my game ...Jimmy Raye your no daisy ...!!
Sure.
But on this very board, Smith has been called a loser for games which we lost because a DB missed a key assignment late. If you’re going to call him a winner after games like that, or games like the Cowboy game when a WR bobbles a key third-down OT pass, and then the defense instantly gives up a huge play … then you’ve got to give credit to Alex here.
Justin Smith made an amazing play. No doubt.
Football is a team game, and calling any one player a “winner” or “loser” based on the outcome of the game is silly.
But if you’re going to do it, at least be consistent about it. :)
I know it's not directed at me
because I’ve been of the “Was Alex Smith missing tackles out there?” school after close losses.
But you’re point is well taken and should be read by all.
We will never know
We might have given up points and AS might have had a walk-off TD to seal the deal too. That is my version of what-if and it tastes yummy. Our O was moving at will in the 2nd half and it felt great!
Sometimes its just about him making plays and the defense backing it up. Over the past couple years they could have easily had wins over really good teams the Saints (late FG drive), the Falcons (Clements celebrating), and the Vikings (Greg Lewis), but the D couldn’t make it hold up. Today J Smith did it.
another conclusion from this game
dallas really is an elite team that likes to lose
Mass genocide is the most exhausting activity one can engage in, outside of soccer.
That one stung to all hell
But this was just the salve the doctor ordered!
Justin Smith is something else. 100% Effort! 100% Class!
Great win
Only had 3 hrs of sleep need to refresh….
I'm in business of giving the business and business is booming!
My favorite thing about Harbaugh is the attitude he seems to bring.
All four game thus far, our team has been in it to win it and has not quit. May not be the prettiest at times, but they FIGHT.

you saw them get down last year. This is totally different. We should have been undefeated

But failed execution is still on us. Big credit, though. We needed to fix some stuff and we did. We have more to fix, but each week we are better in some area. Hopefully the O will start to look more like this second half for 60 mins each week.

Alex Smith is a winner.
He proves that every day just by still existing and even prospering in a franchise that has seemingly conspired to keep him down.
Alex Smith Will Win a Superbowl
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Alex-Smith-Will-Win-a-Superbowl/205058042848290
I still don't understand
Your definition of a “winner” appears to be an abstract one — that any player who still exists after 7 years in the league while playing for a franchise you assert “has seemingly conspired to keep him down”. Because by any other demonstrable factor, AS is in many ways the opposite of a “winner.”
I am in awe. You are also implictly stating the niners franchise is in a state of their own sabotage…
I was speaking about attitude
Alex Smith has a winning mindset. He’s persevered through a lot of nonsense. Good QBs have a chip on their shoulder; they have something to prove and they go out and prove it.
Smith has a lot of doubters and has had to deal with injuries, bad o-lines, bad receivers, bad coaches, etc. He has, of course, also had to deal with bad play from himself.
So to continue to come up smiling and playing with heart after 7 years, yes, I consider him a winner. That’s going to finally translate on the field this year now that we have many of the other pieces in play. We’re gonna go over .500 this year. Even 11 wins is do-able if we play like we did in the second-half. And Alex Smith is going to be a big part of our return to the post-season.

Not Akers's fault....
Harbaugh was furious on the first field goal attempt because there should have been a flag on the Eagles for using our center like a springboard.
And the second one while, yes, perhaps a little low; it’s not Akers’ fault that he got ZERO protection. They busted through the line like it was nobody’s business.
At the end of the day, he still racked up the GAME-WINNING PAT. YES!

I'm your " Huckelberry "...it's just my game ...Jimmy Raye your no daisy ...!!
seriously, move over
Alex is hard as nails, careful with the football, the team seems to rally around him now (totally missing in the past), and he puts his body on the line to win the game. Either Harbaugh’s faith in him or becoming a dad has changed Alex. Even Smith’s most die hard fans and those that have hated him can agree that he isn’t the same guy.
How about actually letting him make audibles
Nothing emasculates a QB quite like getting yelled out to run the play called, especially when the play being called is a loser (Gore up the gut again).
love how Jim Mora was
bashing Harbaugh the whole game.
“Well when i coached” blah blah blah

Do you ever see Smith throw high bullets like that to anyone else? He throws like that to Crabtree on purpose ‘cuz his arms are long and his hands are freakin’ sticky as all hell.

Side note about Eagles defense:
I’m not sure if this is right, but from what I saw, the Eagles played waaaaaay too much zone defense. They have two great corners. Why are they playing zone? Play man, geez. Of course, the defensive coordinator was the O-line coach, so I’m not surprised.
If you're watching a blowout, you can pass the time by counting the double teapots.
Samurai Champloo > Macross
They had Nnamdi on Vernon Davis pretty much the whole game, and the rest was a weird zone hybrid designed to stop only the pass and it failed to do so.

If they keep this up, I might not have to suffer much longer
Make no mistake about it, this win is HUUUUUUUUUUGE. If anyone had told me they would win back to back road games in the East time zone with Alex leading a 4th quarter comeback to beat the Eagles, I would have tried to have them confined for their own safety. Only time will tell if this game was the turning point for this team, but to break the Road Trip Blues and come back and win when they looked down and out are both monumental achievements and you have to credit coach Harbaugh for a lot of that.
All so true
Hard to contextualize how big this win was. Pretty much every demon that has plagued the team and franchise for years was vanquished today. Now if they can just continue doing it, we’ll be back to fielding a strong team.
Eh, defense still gave up too much
except when in the red zone. Special teams struggled today. 1st half was just terrible all around. I also am still disappointed in O-Line, although they did their job late.
But very many things to be proud of, and I can only see it get better!
Amazing
1st half was “not again!!!” and reminded me way too much of what happened the last 2 times we played the Eagles.
2nd half was night & day. Especially the way they closed out the game. Alex Smith played good. 2 TD’s & 0 INT’s. Made some nice throws too, especially the one where Crabtree made a stutter move to fake Asomugha and Alex put perfect touch on that throw.
On another note…. I think Frank Gore sharing the workload with Kendall Hunter helped Gore to stay fresh for when it counts, such as the last drive to run out the clock.
I could've swore I saw some half time adjustments

Let's not get ahead of ourseleves.
The Eagles run D has been terrible all year.
It’s nice that we had a lot of success on the ground today, but let’s not assume that means we’re going to be able to carry it forward.
they are professional athletes
they should be able to do something about the run game. 6.6 rushing average is success. Especially when they knew we were running.
how so?
Ronnie: don’t get ahead of ourselves, the Eagles are bad against the run.
me: yeah, but we destroyed them. They shouldn’t be that bad.
I think what Oug, Neder and I are all saying is that a backfield committee is the way to go forward now that we have seen success with it.
because
i think he was saying lets not assume, after 1 game compared to 3, that this type of success will (likely) continue, which I think is both a reasonable and as close to an objective opinion as there is. And I think you’re saying that we made the Eagles look worse than they are today. You both may be right, but they don’t seem to be related statements. And you did not mention the RB by committee in the post I responded to.
the guy ahead of me did
I just posted the results. I think we can carry it forward because we did something different as opposed to the Eagles being weak
Just saw Sando post that with their win today
The Niners helped set the record for comebacks at this point in the season.
Oh yeah. Making more history, again, in a good way too.

Yep. I love what they've done.
They keep switching them. Bowman will do what Willis did for the last few years for a few games (roam the field) and Willis will have more coverage assignments. Then Bowman will be covering and Willis is unleashed. It’s a great scheme that only looked bad today because Michael Vick is somewhat of an anomaly and the defensive playcalling was substandard.

An offense with that much talent is going to get big plays, and they are going to rack up yards.
But yards aren’t points, and the defense came up big when they had to.

Not only that, but it seems like for once… the fumbles are being recovered by the Niners. Turnovers are hugh when your offense is as up and down as the 49ers

I almost didn’t watch the second half as it seemed all-too familiar to the last decade or so.
I still don’t care for A. Smith… I still have immense concern with the secondary, offensive line, and coaching staff.
On the bright side, special teams is looking amazing and Bowman is turning into an amazing compliment for Willis.
Still, a wins a win and I’m more than pleased with it.
I'm not going get crazy or anything
bit this could have been a seminal game for the franchise.
Justin Smith is something else. 100% Effort! 100% Class!
what more do you want out of Smith from that second half?
asking for more is greedy and unrealistic. He has played very well and I can see him making the pro bowl.
How about Adam Snyder!
He starts at guard and this was the O-Lines best game.
Exactly our low points was when Chilo Rachal was playing

Now, raise your hand if
you believe in momentum shifts! Oh wait…no, did we just pull a Dallas in Philly? Amazing…down by 20 & we muster a 2nd straight come back victory on the road. Only this was a statement game if there ever was 1. Alex, I believe he deserves the game ball…Frank too for finally breaking out. 3-1…Coach JH, you’ve officially made me a believer!
I was thinking about it, and it's hard to single out one player today (though I might give the nod to Gore)
It was a true team effort today. Just about everyone on the defense came up with a big play and were strong throughout. The receivers made plays when they needed to and the line finally bought Alex some time in the 2nd quarter. And not enough to say about Hunter/Gore/Alex today.
Lots deserved it
But I’d give it to Justin. Big Big Big hustle and play.
Justin Smith is something else. 100% Effort! 100% Class!
This was Franks "kiss my ass" game for all you

True that.
All the haters ready to pounce on him as “old” and “over-the-hill.”
Hunter should definitely split playing time, because combined him and Gore make a scary combo – but there was no reason for everyone to be throwing Gore under the bus after 3 games where our o-line played pretty terrible (we had one of the worst ranked o-lines in the league through 3 games according to Football Outsiders).
Here’s a toast to Gore and Hunter both getting multiple 100 yard rushing games this season! I can totally see it happening (though, if you combine Hunter’s rushing and receiving yards, he got exactly 100 already! Wooo!).

East Coast Bias/Excuses
A sampling from the ESPN blog…
“Some thoughts from the Philadelphia Eagles’ absolutely brutal loss to the San Francisco 49ers:
What it means: Huge, huge trouble for an Eagles team that has no reason to consider itself a playoff contender, let alone a Super Bowl contender, after a loss like this. You get a 20-3 lead and your quarterback throws for more than 400 yards against an offense led by Alex Smith? You have to win that game, and you have to win it easily. Instead, the Eagles’ defense fell completely apart in the second half and allowed Smith, Frank Gore and Co. to come all the way back and get out of town with a huge upset victory. It’s the third straight game the Eagles have lost after leading in the fourth quarter. "
Yeah, [site decorum], Alex [Site Decorum]ing Smith beat your Eagles and looked GOOD!

I've never understood why
we should care what kind of coverage we’re getting. What’s it to us? I guess its fair to point out that there IS an observable bias — cause there is — but feeling jilted by it perplexes me.
but why should that bother anybody as fan?
and the niners lack a reputation of success while also lacking a nationally recognized superstar (on offense). The Eagles do. They have more than 1. It certainly is lame that such biases by news organizations exist, but for news org. to gravitate towards the sensational/superstar is quite common.
Why shouldn't it
The superstar treatment is BS, and I would rather call it out (as futile as it is) than sit back and just accept that, ’it’s just the way it is.’
I’m not that upset by it, it was fully expected that the discussion would be more towards the Eagles’ collapsing vs the 49ers doing the right things at the right times, which simply isn’t all that accurate. There were a bit of both, but the 9ers will likely be an afterthought in most of the stories, the end will say, but clearly Jim Harbaugh’s 49ers did their job today, blah blah.
We don’t all need to subscribe to your deluded views and accept biases as just the way it is…
He doesn’t care because he doesn’t give a crap about this team… probably a closet Patriots fan or something.
Never seen the guy make even one positive comment about the Niners… honestly.

in no fair minded view am I suggesting we “accept” anything in terms of media bias. I’m stating my inability to understand why it puts fans of those discriminated teams on the defensive.
Then tell us
How should we respond?
And how are you not just accepting it, saying people shouldn’t be complaining about it is about as accepting of it as you can get…
No, if that’s how you feel, then by all means share that here. I simply, as I stated earlier, have difficulty in understanding the defensive response by some over it. I’m stating my inability to understand, hence engaging with you about why you guys feel different.
I think it is pretty simple
It is clear you just don’t get it. I’m fine with you not understanding it, but it isn’t necessarily our job to make you understand such a simple concept.
Obsessive fans take perceived slights against teams they follow personally. I know I still do it from time to time. Emotions getting the best of me and all that.
We all know that outside of 49ers-centric outlets, the obvious angle is “consistent deep-playoff-run-threat team makes huge splash in free agency and lost a 4th quarter lead for the 3rd straight game”. That’s what people on a national level will care about, and to expect anything different is fruitless, yeah.

NFL Redzone Unsung Hero -
49ers O-Line?!?!
Rare west-coast sighting
49ers writer for National Football Authority
http://www.nationalfootballauthority.com/
umm... definitely not
The coaches just made adjustments to get the ball out of alex’s hands sooner to cover up the horrible O-Line.
There was some of that
But the line played better…
Alot of 4 man rushes that didn’t generate enough pressure, especially after Cole went out. A. Davis was driving me crazy most of the first half.
7 SF - WR AJ Green, Georgia - BPA.
Red Zone Channel Unsung Hero of the Day:
Niners O-Line, running out the clock with 2 first downs to ice the game
No east coast bias there
Changing my mind on the play I describe in the post about Willis and Bowman missing the tackle on Vick.
Where I said Willis looked slow. In actuality, Willis wasn’t even supposed to be that close, it was Bowman’s responsibility, so Willis actually got there at lot faster than I thought, and Bowman missed the play. Amidst all these Bowman highlights, he’s bound to make a mistake. I’ll take it.
Just wanted to clear that up, since I knew me thinking Willis looked slow was crazy.

I saw overall poor tackling on vick by our D-line
I know Soap missed a couple potential big tackles that vick slipped out of.
Linebackers, too. Brooks and Aldon Smith both missed tackles on Vick that they should have made.
McDonald missed a big one.

Oh I know ... that's why we said "on Vick," it's a qualfier.
Did the defense tackle poorly today? On Vick. It’s a double-sided coin … on one hand, we can explain it away as being Vick, on the other, there were some that Vick never should have escaped from.

a very important qualifier... still. Have to wrap him up..
He keeps complaining that players are hitting him too hard… Why the freak do you think that is???? if he went down like most quarterbacks they wouldn’t have to! hahaha
brooks showed very poor play, especiall those two penalties... only a couple plays apart
very poor play by a veteran. Almost costed us the game.
No, not very poor
Some more really stupid mental mistakes, one that he is prone to and needs to be stamped out.
It didn’t almost cost us the game. One was declined because they gained 7 yards on the play anyway.
maybe didn't almost cost us the game, but sure made it more difficult for our defense
But I have faith that harbaugh will coach him up and he’ll stop making bone-headed mistakes like that. He’s done it in a couple games this year.
I really have no idea why the accepted it
1-5 or 2-3, I take 1-5 every time. Clearly they were in move the chains, eat the clock, and get the last score mode. We were afraid of the big play, but they kept making the 4-7 yarders… then they met the hardest working DE in football, and Justin made that backfire. I think that if they really wanted too, that long pass to DeSean would have been there (no one on our team can run with him if Vick has time). They wanted to dink, dunk, and eat the clock. It seems like 1-5 fits your plans better. It did not matter as they converted, but not sure why it was declined
Yeah, definitely. He didn't look bad once they actually were able to snap the ball, though.
Other than the missed tackle on Vick, he did move around the field a lot and showed a couple good pass-rush moves. But still, definitely lacking.

So when you are not watching, we win?
Lesson for the future…lol
Props to Alex Smith
Apart from the fumble, I think he’s did an awesome job at QB today, he is slowly going from “losing games” to “not losing games” to “winning games” for us. Also, I think Harbaugh is the real deal, the guy has got it! Question though: what was the game plan for the last :30 of the first half? It had me all sorts of confused.
Close your eyes. Picture a convict. What's he wearing? Nothing special, baseball cap on backwards, baggy pants... he says something ordinary like... 'yo, thats shizzle.' Okay. Now slowly open your eyes again. Who are you picturing? A black man? Wrong. That was a white woman. Surprised? Well, shame on you.

Alex needed that second half comback because....

So give credit to Alex for withstanding the pressure and coming through with flying colors.
9ers now have confidence they can (1) Win on the road and (2) make big comebacks.

hey eagles, You Suck.
vick, is not that good……
nnamdi looked like shawntee spencer last year against crabtree’s long pass.
and
eagles suck. eagles are lucky they played the rams early to prevent their 0-4 start.
"You know whats funny? I always thought uhm dogs lay eggs and I learned something new today" Peter Griffin
Mmmm
I dunno. The only reason the Eagles were in the game was because of Vick. I’d take him, the rest of that roster has some issues.
sure?
You’ve have Gore/Hunter over McCoy?
Jackson/Maclin over B Edwards/Crabtree/Ginn?
At the premium positions, the Eagles have profoundly more talented personnel.
But their lines stink
The only reason McCoy, Jackson and Maclin can be used as weapons is cause Vick can break sacks, scramble around, pick up first downs running and buy these guys time to get open when the line constantly fails.
If Vick wasn’t playing in this game the Eagles don’t even score 10 points.
I don't know if i'd go that far... if it weren't for a few mistakes like turnovers we would've been creamed.
they’re possibly the most talented team… just need some more time playing together to gel.
eagles do suck, 1-3 proves it. Nnamdi got burned and shocked by the great Crabtree then nnamdi missed the tackle on crabtree, exactly what spencer did last year. their corners are over ratted and do not play the run. eagles suck.

I've always felt that Nnamdi was a bit over rated as well.
As in a 97 instead of like a 95 hahaha, so don’t get me wrong, he’s good. But he was always shutting down #2 receivers because he wasn’t moving with the #1’s. He would just lock down whoever was on his side of the field.

While from the right side, Haralson’s side, he’s looked unimpressive. If Brooks can play the right side, then I’m all for it, but I’d rather not shake up two positions at once. Smith-Haralson is probably what we’re looking at.

That we are terrible, Alex is terrible, the Raiders are far better than us, and they were gonna beat the Pats.
So I’m tempted to go back and find his name and just hassle him for the rest of the day.

I would love to hear his explanation for that play
Give tha guy a break...I remember losing most of our games because of mistakes by players that did not play the quarterback position.
I'm sure Norv Turner is a good judge of a good QB...even he said the guy can be good w/ quality people around him.

Sorry. I was hanging out with Ricky before the game.
You know the rest.

Com On somebody give a little credit to...Adam Snyder
He was one of the reasons our O-Line played it best game to date.
Can’t understand why Adam did not start sooner over Chilo.
The only thing I can figure is possibly Chilo practices better than Adam in front of coaches but on game days Adam plays better than Chilo.
Secondly Bruce Miller is clearly growing and getter better and better by the week. I think Miller has shown enough already to now hold the starting fullback position.
loved the punishment that miller laid out when they tried to tackle him.

Can't believe Hunter didn't take it to the house on the short pass by Alex.
He was in the clear if he would have just ran north instead of trying to cut towards the middle of the field :/

We still scored on the drive, thankfully!
Still, I think if it was Hunter hitting those holes that Frank found, he would have gotten 2-3 long TD runs today.

I think I agree
Frank looked much better today than in the last three games, but he still looked slower than his usual self. The Frank of 2006-2008 would have taken 3 of those to the house.
drink a 24 pack and call in sick tomorrow. at least you will sound sick when you call in.lol

Seriously, what's going on man?
Giants beat the Eagles last week, can’t beat the Cardinals? What a strange league.
this is why we love this league
even if our favorite team has consistently stepped on our balls the last 10 years.

No way we would have had this comeback with Singletary
No way. Whatever happened it seems to be part of the Jim Harbaugh MO. He did this back against Stanford – USC, now against Philly.
bench Chilo, start Snyder. Cut Norris
agreed
no way w/ Sing… he would have cut his loses and said better luck next week
Harbaugh has it in him to lead this team via coaching
I think w/Sing
we would have gotten blownout through & through. JH just makes the necessary 1/2 time adjustments
Eli Manning not a good QB

So sad I didn't go to this game today. I love only 45 min from Eagles stadium.
Couldn’t find anyone to go with me though… :(
Me too
Am going to Washington, trying to go to Baltimore. The whole thanksgiving/family thing is providing a barrier.
Might???
U’d probably be in a coma right now

yeah, it IS a little scary out here on the east coast, that's why i would need someone else to go with me
and maybe even pretend to cheer for the home team. lol

haha. yeah... I actually like the Eagles though, they have a good team and they're fun to watch
Just NOT when they’re playing my 49ers!
I know, their offense is ridiculous

Anyone else notice that our secondary gets bombed deep?
Cowboys and Eagles clearly had game plans to throw deep, a lot!
Bengals did some deep shots too.
Could you imagine if Nate Clements was still back there…yikers!
We need just one good corner and we'd be alright
the safeties will be fine once they get more time to play together and are more healthy. All 3 of our top safeties have been out this year already (smith, goldson and whitner)
Draft priority, in my opinion
Obviously, I wouldn’t mind another pass rusher, but it’s nice that there is enough base talent to start upgrading instead of patching holes….
(Although the O-Line might need a revamp)
we are doing better but still room for more improvement
and with Rogers I believe this will only grow
Isn't that the Eagles and Cowboys offense?

When Jim Harbaugh says "more is more" I think he is trying to say Moore is more.

Give it up for the QB and the Coach
I think the difference this year is A.Smith maturity and Coach Harbaugh. I know I would be totally blaming Alex if this had gone the other way, so props where it’s due. Great summary Ninjames.

Looking to put San Fran*six-o* here some time soon!
Niners have two road wins on the east coast!!!!!!

Here the announcers say they talked to Brady this week and wouldn't stop talking about the Niners.
And they couldn’t get him to say anything good about the Raiders.
Draft philosophy: Always draft QB’s who are Niner fans(Brady, Rodgers).

I Have To Say.......
This was the best game that the 9ers have played in years!!!!! They played with passion and never gave up (even though we all did at the end of the half). We did something that the Falcons and Giants couldn’t do…..we beat the Eagles with Vick playing the entire game. Our effin D played one hell of a game, from the first snap to the last they gave a 110%. They really won that games for us. I just want to thank Jim H for openning up the play book for Alex Smith in the second half, I hope this continues into the rest of the season. I hope we get some respect from the NFL Network crew now since we beat the mighty Eagles. This week we have Tampa Bay and there great D, our offensive line needs to step up b/c the eagles run defense sucks so lets not get over excitied b/c out line needs lots of improvement. Over all that was a great game. GO NINERS!!!!!!!! (Oh yeah every other NFC West team lost:) )
