Niners Nation Prediction: 49ers win 27-24

Feel free to enter your predictions HERE

So this open thread is going up Saturday evening.  The reason being that I'm heading out with friends and while I think I'll end up back here tonight, if I do I think it's an iffy proposition that I'll be up by 10am.  I've got the TiVo set to begin recording at 9:59 am and will be raring to go (or at least coherent for the game by the middle of the first quarter).

This is a very winnable game for the 49ers and I think one the 49ers really need to win.  If a team wants to make the playoffs, they need to snatch some road wins.  This is a chance for one of those road wins.  The Rams are coming off a tough loss to Carolina, as well as the loss of Orlando Pace.  So let's get out there and take care of business!

GO NINERS!

Kirby my dog
Kirby is our very old dog, an akita-shepherd mix, really loving, but he's old and stinky and wakes me or my girlfriend up early every morning. Today was my turn to get up and let him into the backyard to do his business. So unlike Fooch I was up early enough to hear the last part of the show that came on BEFORE the Fisherman's Forecast on KNBR. So I've been drinking coffee and looking through the sports pages with the pre-pre-pre-game shows playing in the background.

Ray Ratto is right in describing this game. It's under the radar. Way under. Last week the Rams looked bad in losing, the Niners looked bad in winning. This week no one is paying attention to this game. Maybe I'm up getting another cup of coffee or something but I haven't heard anyone even mention the game.

This is a game for the Niners to take. If their talent is as good as we think it is, and if their offensive play-calling is as good as we think the talent can be, then they should win this game. The Ram offense should be better than Arizona's, so our offense can't be so conservative to expect the defense to hold them to zero all game. Our offense needs to tip the balance so that the Rams can't rely on handing off to Jackson. We need to put the Rams in a hole so that Bulger is forced to pass.

And can we take a vote to retire that damned song about Shady Brady and Belicheat? I don't need to hear it anymore.

I'm counting on you guys to post the updates during the game. I won't get to watch because I have Time Warner and well.... they suck.

Brandon Williams sucks
He muffed the punt, giving the ball to the Rams around the twenty after the Niners' D had three sacks on the Rams first drive. What does that say?

Like I said, the Niners need to open things up. You can't play offense not to lose because you've got Brandon Williams fielding kicks for you.

I'm sure...
The Alex Smith haters are probably already licking their chops, nevermind that he's thrown 3 perfect passes only to see 2 dropped and the 3rd result in a first down called back due to penalty.

Gore drops a swing pass on 3rd down
So Smith has two dropped passes and a third pass was cancelled out by a facemask penalty. Rams take over on their 11. Maybe the Niners' defense can force a dozen safeties today, because the offense still look out of sync.

was a terrible draft pick.  He clearly sucks at being a receiver since he's about 12th on our depth chart.  we ask him to do ONE thing, return punts, and he sucks at that too.

Looks like a Ram ran into Williams on the punt
Fifteen yards, putting the Niners on the Rams' 39. Before that a hold on the first punt attempt. That's a thirty-four-yard difference in field position. Can they take advantage?

Williams
I'm SOOOOO not sold on Brandon Williams...obviously he drew the interference call but he probably should have called for the fair catch sooner...

Here's a thought
Fourth and long at midfield. The Rams are letting the clock run out.

Niners have all three timeouts.

Call one at two seconds and then run a hail mary. What do you have to lose? And you give the Rams something else to think about.

What the hell was that third and nine call about, anyway?

by Bob In Pacifica on Sep 16, 2007 11:20 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

It actually makes sense to me
In a bit of a conservative way. With third and long, a low percentage conversion down and the clock not running with a most of a minute still on the clock you don't want to risk an incomplete pass and giving St. Louis a good shot at getting back down for a field goal at the end of the half...

But it remains you could run the clock out just the same with a high percentage five yard pass and have a better chance at converting the down at the same time. Not a very good call, even if you understand the logic behind it.

Gore
The Niners aren't getting any drives going. Convert some third downs. I think the Rams are letting their corners succeed or fail on their own, there seems to be a lot of blue and gold traffic in the box. That may be why he's not breaking through. Or maybe the line is sucking this week, too. And the Rams seem to have our screens figured out too.

We need something to shake up the offense, and we need some drives.

They've only had the ball 18 plays. No rhythm. Need to stop their drives and keep ours going.

Got four yards on 1st down
He actually got a step past the line of scrimmage. But the pocket collapsed. Incomplete.

Third and six.

This is a big play. The defense is sucking air on the sideline. Incomplete, and Walls was practically in his pocket.

That was bad. Three and out. But a great punt with the roll. 70 yards. Rams inside their own ten!

Please, we need a three and out on this side. The defense needs to get some air in their lungs.
