Putting God First
If there is something you're looking for that is rather distinct about head coach Mike Singletary it is his faith in God that personifies his character and the way he conducts himself within his daily routines. From his wife Kim to his seven children, Mike is a man that exudes his presence in multiple facets such as husband, father and spiritual head... Read More I'm sitting here watching the Cardinals-Falcons game and I can't help but think about new head coach Mike Singletary's offensive philosophy. We know that teams who run the ball well do well during the regular season, and in the playoffs. This season alone the top 5 rushing teams (Giants, Falcons, Panthers, Ravens and Vikings) are all... Read More The 49ers finished the season by winning five of their last seven games. Mike Singletary, who just became the permanent coach following the team's win against the Redskins, finished with a record of 5-4. While the team was out of the playoffs early, it was a finish to be proud of. It is very safe to say that the team can win with the level of... Read More It had all of the tell tale signs of the Miami Dolphins defeating us by a score of 14-9, as the San Francisco 49ers by the narrowest of margins defeated the St. Louis Rams with their beloved Isaac Bruce being a main factor 17-16. It was a stressing three quarters and a half of play where Shaun Hill was literally on the brink of being benched three days... Read More Last Sunday afternoon at about 1:10 pm, I was not a happy man. I had just finished watching my 49ers lose...and "loudmouth idiot of the year" award winner, Joey Porter, made the play that sealed the deal. So, I sat...and I stewed. In my post-loss haze of fury, I poured myself some Glenlivet 12-year, turned on my Xbox 360, and proceeded to stomp the guts... Read More Miami Dolphin linebacker Joey Porter likes to talk smack. That is what he is best known for as one of the cockiest players within the league. His subject was the same chiseled physique that resembles his own in 49er premier tight end Vernon Davis. His words were as sharp as knives once we were down within the red zone as each time we were subjected to a... Read More Quite simply, Nancy Gay has it all wrong. Pioli for president? There are several problems with her reasoning. Sure, it sounds good on face but Gay seems more enamored with the Patriots and Head Coach Bill Belichick than with Pioli. Let's look at her reasoning: According to Gay, Pioli would be great because he has been a part of the personnel... Read More Since the final gun of the 49ers' improbable victory over the New York Bretts, any fan still paying attention had to wonder: can the Niners beat the Dolphins on the road next week? As I sat above the south end zone at the ‘Stick surveying the field at the end of last week's game (and enjoying some father/son bonding time spent laughing at a Jets... Read More Mike Singletary has his San Francisco 49ers humming like a professional race car in the Daytona 500 as we try and make the stretch run on the 2008 NFL season by reaching the .500 mark as a crowning achievement for an interim head coach that inherited a momentous challenge to overcome Mike Nolan's shortcomings. Defeating a playoff caliber team... Read More Sure, Shaun Hill is getting lots of well deserved praise for the 49ers recent winning streak. But there is another improvement that seems to be going unnoticed. The 49ers defense is playing extremely well under Manusky and Singletary. Lets first start off with a basic premise: Greg Manusky is calling the shots on defense. Coach Singletary stated... Read More The 49ers beat the Jets on Sunday at Candlestick. Holy *&^%. Sweet mother of @#$!&^ on a cracker. The 49ers beat a team led by Brett Favre on Sunday at Candlestick. Wow. That pretty much sums up what 49er fans got from their team on Sunday afternoon. In their victory over the Jets, the 49ers didn't look like... Read More Certain players on the 49ers have historically earned free passes. These passes entitle them to be free of criticism for a certain time. Perhaps this person is a fan favorite, or maybe just a young stud in their prime - either way the player seems to be immune from criticism. Right now Frank Gore has a firm grip on the free pass.... Read More Unquestionably one of the best victories of the 2008 NFL season for the San Francisco 49ers in their 10-3 defensive stand against a potential playoff contender in the Buffalo Bills while on the road all the way out on the east coast. Mike Singletary gave credit to both sides of the line in that effort manifested itself within this game like he had never... Read More In approximately 24 hours from now, families across the United States and in many parts of the world will be gathering to celebrate a yearly tradition, giving thanks and showing gratitude toward issues that are deserving. Fabulous dinner spreads mixed with relatives and the like, huddled together in an attempt to stuff themselves into submission. This... Read More I waited until a week after the 49ers surprisingly complete victory over the Rams to write this. You see, like many fans, I was so happy to see a double digit win that I lost focus on reality...albeit very briefly. Had the 49ers finally become the team I had been hoping for? Were they ready to make winning a regular thing? Like many of you reading this, I... Read More The 2008 San Francisco 49ers will look back on this past Sunday with a realistic grin as they achieved a tender moment in terminating the six consecutive game losing skid they had been on with both Mike Nolan and Mike Singletary. With their season isolated to playing out the rest of their regular season games and looking yet again to the future, the 49ers... Read More Before a national audience on Monday Night Football on ESPN the absolute bottom fell out of the San Francisco 49ers as they lost a last ditch effort drive to win the game from two and a half yards out to the division leading Arizona Cardinals 29-24. Every 49er fan from coast to coast witnessed a sudden transformation in a team that was mired in mediocrity... Read More I spent my entire Tuesday thinking about what to write here. I took a few hours for the initial anger and disappointment at Monday night's disaster in the desert to clear my head, to piece together what happened and why, and to objectively assess what to expect moving into the 49ers final 7 games. There are a few things that became crystal clear to me... Read More One thing needs to be clarified: The 49ers should be beyond moral victories. In 2005, with a rookie running back and a rookie quarterback, the 49ers were allowed moral victories. Heck, all the way through 2006 they could get away with just competing. "They were so close! They fact that they could compete means something, doesn't it?" Four... Read More He does not have a big arm and his passes may not be as pretty as other quarterbacks, but Shaun Hill gives the San Francisco 49ers their best chance to win right now. He was not perfect on Monday night, tossing two passes into the opposition's waiting hands, but he also made the offense look better than it has all season. Hill's mobility and quick... Read More Tonight in Arizona, the 49ers face a daunting task: they have to find a way to beat the division leading Cardinals. Yes...you read that right: the division leading Cardinals. Since the Niners faced them in Week One, the Cards have transformed themselves. Kurt Warner has rediscovered the form that won him an MVP trophy in St. Louis. Tim Hightower has... Read More Dennis Erickson couldn't stop it, Mike Nolan couldn't stop it and now Mike Singletary can't stop it. Consistently and with grave consequences the San Francisco 49ers have earned themselves the distinct reputation of being one of the bottom dwellers of the National Football League, in that the once honored and respected championship image we had... Read More The 49ers had lost their previous four games coming into Sunday's contest against Seattle. By the time the final gun sounded on Sunday afternoon, the 49ers had made it five straight losses...this time by a score of 34-13, against an injury depleted Seahawks team. From the stands, it was clear J.T. O'Sullivan was in over his head. On the... Read More ESPN and the NFL Network are reporting that the 49ers are interested in talking to Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice as a potential Team President. They think that she can get help get financing for the stadium. This is typical York. A Team President that knows nothing about football? Make her head of financing for a stadium. I get that. She... Read More Sunday's game at Candlestick Park will mark the second meeting of the 49ers and Seahawks this year. The first meeting, a 33-30 overtime win for the 49ers, was the first positive result of the 2008 season. While many speculate that the down and out Seahawks are due to lose at the ‘Stick this Sunday, the 49ers will have to win several key matchups to... Read More Everyone in the San Francisco Bay Area is elated that it has finally come to tuition. The dismissal of Mike Nolan as the long time czar and head coach of the 49ers has finally happened. It should've happened before the 2008 NFL season had even begun. But by some twist of relative fate his career was spared by an ownership that still comes under intense... Read More Can new head coach Mike Singletary be the catalyst that turns this team around? I asked myself this question over and over and really couldn't come up with a straight answer. I felt like I had multiple personality disorder. So, in the spirit of MPD, here is a little argument I had with myself earlier today. ********** Many people... Read More What a difference a day makes. After another frustrating Mike Nolan postgame presser, the inevitable has occurred. Mike Nolan is no longer the coach of the San Francisco 49ers. Early rumors had Nolan being dismissed after this weekend's contest with the Seahawks, but apparently the idea of a lame-duck coach didn't sit well with 49er brass. Though... Read More The end of the Mike Nolan era is finally here. And the funny thing about it is, the 49ers can't even fire someone right. If Nolan really is going to be fired after the Seahawks game, why wait? Now all you have is a lame-duck coach who is staring his future in the face. Either: 1) The team rallies around their coach and plays a great game,... Read More At the end of the game, "the only stat that matters" said it all: the 49ers lost yet again, this time by a score of 29-17. The score made the game seem closer than it actually was though, as the 49ers managed to lose nearly every measurable matchup in the game. The 49ers gave up six sacks; the Giants gave up none. The 49ers held the ball for 25:30; the... Read More |
