Not to be too picky or anything but we can all go find the play by play chart. It would be nice to ONLY have your summary of the game as you seem to rewatch it with a very detail eye.

i had a different view on Sop's batted ball. I may have to go back and look but it didn't look pike he had mich of a push at all, just lucky to get his hand up and the right time. Let me know what you think.

That would entail me describing every result of every play... far more work and unnecessary when it can be copied like so.


2nd Quarter SFO ARI

Arizona Cardinals continued. SFO ARI

2nd and 15 at SF 33 (15:00) (Shotgun) K.Warner pass short right to T.Hightower to SF 26 for 7 yards (P.Willis) [P.Haralson].
4 DL - Justin does great job crashing in to allow RayMac to stunt, however ineffective that was... Manny unable to back up LT enough to clear RayMac... Haralson with nice inside move on RT, gets in Warner's face just after dumpoff to RB... not the best angling for tackle by Willis
3rd and 8 at SF 26 (14:13) (Shotgun) K.Warner pass incomplete short left to A.Boldin (D.Bly).
EVERYONE up front standing up a la Pittsburgh! ... OL does well standing all but Justin up, who fights outside of RT to put a hand in the face of Warner... dangerous throw batted by Bly in front of target
4th and 8 at SF 26 (14:08) N.Rackers 44 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-M.Leach, Holder-B.Graham.
Timeout at 14:03.
N.Rackers kicks 67 yards from ARZ 30 to SF 3. A.Rossum pushed ob at SF 22 for 19 yards (N.Rackers).
DRIVE TOTALS: SF 6 ARZ 3, 6 plays, 52 yards, 2:19 drive, 0:57 elapsed

San Francisco 49ers at 14:03, (1st play from scrimmage 13:59) SFO ARI

1st and 10 at SF 22 (13:59) (Shotgun) S.Hill pass short right to V.Davis to SF 27 for 5 yards (G.Hayes).
All OL did well on this quick, short pass
2nd and 5 at SF 27 (13:20) F.Gore right tackle to SF 27 for no gain (C.Haggans).
VD was stood up and driven back by Branch... Snyder failed to sustain block on LB (inexcusable)... Rachal did well driving NT off... Heitmann pulls and basically blocks Gore from going anywhere... Snyder and VD failed that play mostly
3rd and 5 at SF 27 (12:36) (Shotgun) S.Hill pass short right to J.Morgan pushed ob at SF 41 for 14 yards (D.Rodgers-Cromartie).
Snyder and Staley did well enough pushing their man beyond Hill... the extra attack of ILBs penetrated through the middle (mostly Baas) to put heavy pressure... Hill stands in nicely for the short pass to Morgan across middle... great effort by Morgan for RAC yds
1st and 10 at SF 41 (12:14) PENALTY on ARZ-D.Dockett, Defensive Offside, 5 yards, enforced at SF 41 - No Play.
1st and 5 at SF 46 (11:54) I.Bruce left end to SF 38 for -8 yards (K.Dansby).
Staley failed to sustain block, but this end around for Bruce was doomed anyway thanks to great D-pusuit... dumb playcall
2nd and 13 at SF 38 (11:06) S.Hill pass short left to J.Morgan pushed ob at SF 49 for 11 yards (B.McFadden).
OL was getting backed up, but gave enough protection here... Baas would have given up a sack had Hill been forced to look for another target... pretty good throw and catch by JM at sideline
3rd and 2 at SF 49 (10:35) S.Hill pass incomplete short left to F.Gore (C.Campbell).
predictable little dump swing pass to Gore is blocked by the 6' 7" DE
4th and 2 at SF 49 (10:31) A.Lee punts 40 yards to ARZ 11, Center-B.Jennings, fair catch by A.Rolle.
Timeout at 10:24.

Arizona Cardinals at 10:24 SFO ARI

1st and 10 at ARZ 11 (10:24) C.Wells right tackle to ARZ 11 for no gain (K.Balmer).
base D - Franklin anchored and slid well vs OC, who then fell down... Balmer got a lil push vs TE, and slid into RB... Manny sealed edge nicely vs RT... TKO filled lane hard
2nd and 10 at ARZ 11 (9:39) (Shotgun) K.Warner sacked at ARZ 5 for -6 yards (P.Haralson).
3 DL w/ Manny standing - Manny gets upfield then illegally held by LT... Justin bullrushes LG backwards 5 yds... RayMac well contained on double team... Haralson gets outside edge on RT... WHY??? because Warner couldn't step in due to Justin!
Timeout #2 by ARZ at 09:00.
3rd and 16 at ARZ 5 (9:00) (Shotgun) K.Warner pass short middle to T.Hightower to ARZ 14 for 9 yards (P.Willis, M.Lawson) [P.Haralson].
4 DL - Justin gets doubled... Manny gets upfield, can't quote take it back inside ( but it was a quick pass )... RayMac gets a few yds push... Haralson quick around edge and nearly gets Warner or a ball swipe before the dump off pass... ( Haralson owning Levi Brown right now )
4th and 7 at ARZ 14 (8:31) B.Graham punts 56 yards to SF 30, Center-M.Leach. A.Rossum to SF 37 for 7 yards (M.Adams).
PENALTY on SF-D.Goldson, Illegal Block Above the Waist, 10 yards, enforced at SF 37.
Timeout at 08:19.

San Francisco 49ers at 8:19 SFO ARI

1st and 10 at SF 27 (8:19) G.Coffee right tackle to SF 24 for -3 yards (D.Dockett).
Rachal simply failed horribly in blocking Dockett (at LDE)... he was too quick, and Rachal missed him ate grass... Snyder's not overpowering a LB as he should easily do either
2nd and 13 at SF 24 (7:37) S.Hill pass incomplete deep middle to V.Davis.
all OL do well here... SS blitz picked up by Coffee... poor decision on Hill over-throwing into excellent double coverage
3rd and 13 at SF 24 (7:33) (Shotgun) S.Hill pass short left to A.Battle to SF 36 for 12 yards (R.Johnson).
protection starts to break down for Staley, but does enough... good throw and zip from Hill to Battle but clearly short of the 1st down and the safety closes and tackles very well
4th and 1 at SF 36 (7:08) A.Lee punts 41 yards to ARZ 23, Center-B.Jennings, downed by SF-M.Spurlock.

Arizona Cardinals at 7:00 SFO ARI

1st and 10 at ARZ 23 (7:00) T.Hightower up the middle to ARZ 26 for 3 yards (A.Franklin).
base D - Franklin was engulfed by OC, but leaned into it and fought hard to get some of the RB... best play by far from him... which isn't saying much, but that play was nice, and he hasn't had many snaps altogether... whole front 7 did well there, and Justin's a monster
2nd and 7 at ARZ 26 (6:23) (Shotgun) K.Warner pass short left to A.Boldin to ARZ 31 for 5 yards (D.Goldson).
4 DL - RayMac goes wide for the RB route... Justin takes the double, still gets a few yds upfield... Manny crashes in to open up the LB stunt... Parys backs in coverage... Bly blitzes and jumps for quick pass... well covered and tackled by Goldson
3rd and 2 at ARZ 31 (5:41) (Shotgun) K.Warner pass incomplete short right to L.Long (T.Brown).
All front 7 are standing - 5 of them blitz... not much from Manny vs LT... not enough from Justin on LG... Willis gets in but well chipped by RB... RayMac does well on RG, and somewhat occupies RT so that Haralson can get a lil around the edge for some pressure... good throw in tight coverage by Brown... tough pass dropped
4th and 2 at ARZ 31 (5:36) (Punt formation) PENALTY on ARZ-A.Highsmith, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at ARZ 31 - No Play.
4th and 7 at ARZ 26 (5:36) B.Graham punts 56 yards to SF 18, Center-M.Leach. A.Rossum to SF 32 for 14 yards (L.Stephens-Howling).

*** our D keeps coming up big and waiting for the O to distance the lead ***

San Francisco 49ers at 5:26 SFO ARI

1st and 10 at SF 32 (5:26) F.Gore right tackle to SF 35 for 3 yards (C.Okeafor, G.Hayes).
nice pull by Baas, but he misses the free LB... all others were just okay, not good enough push
2nd and 7 at SF 35 (4:49) F.Gore left tackle to SF 37 for 2 yards (C.Campbell, C.Okeafor).
8 man front... hold blocks, but no real push to speak of
3rd and 5 at SF 37 (4:06) S.Hill pass short middle to F.Gore to SF 44 for 7 yards (G.Hayes).
easy 4 seconds for Hill... Snyder finally breaks down in protection... dump off in middle to Gore
1st and 10 at SF 44 (3:21) S.Hill pass incomplete deep right to D.Walker.
Hill given time... Snyder pushes his man far wide of Hill... horrible decision + inaccurate sideline throw to a triple covered DWalker
2nd and 10 at SF 44 (3:15) S.Hill pass incomplete deep right to D.Walker.
decent protection... horrible overthrow again to DWalker who was open but had a closing SS Wilson coming over
3rd and 10 at SF 44 (3:11) (Shotgun) S.Hill pass deep left to I.Bruce to ARZ 6 for 50 yards (B.McFadden).
very nice deep pass to Bruce... 4 rushed... good protection... good pass placement... great set up route from Bruce
1st and 6 at ARZ 6 (2:28) F.Gore up the middle for 6 yards, TOUCHDOWN. 12 3
Baas with a key pull block... good second level block Snyder... Rachal good drive block... good twist block from Heitmann... VD and DWalk do enough... Norris blocks DB out wide (kinda pointless)
J.Nedney extra point is GOOD, Center-B.Jennings, Holder-A.Lee. 13 3
J.Nedney kicks 70 yards from SF 30 to end zone, Touchback.
DRIVE TOTALS: SF 13 ARZ 3, 7 plays, 68 yards, 3:03 drive, 12:37 elapsed

Arizona Cardinals at 2:23 SFO ARI

1st and 10 at ARZ 20 (2:23) (Shotgun) K.Warner pass deep right intended for A.Boldin INTERCEPTED by N.Clements [M.Lawson] at ARZ 42.
N.Clements to ARZ 34 for 8 yards (L.Fitzgerald).
4 DL - Manny well blocked, but stays sharp, cuts Warner's step up run and puts big hit and pressure on him... Haralson beats RT around egde nicely, forcing Warner up into pocket... RayMac closed well on a stunt set up by Justin crashing in

San Francisco 49ers at 2:13 SFO ARI

1st and 10 at ARZ 34 (2:13) F.Gore up the middle to ARZ 30 for 4 yards (C.Campbell, C.Okeafor).
9 men in box... perfect pull block Baas... great block Rachal... great 2nd level block Snyder... Heitmann didn't fair well there...
Two-Minute Warning
2nd and 6 at ARZ 30 (2:00) S.Hill sacked at ARZ 44 for -14 yards (D.Dockett).
9 in the box... Snyder was beaten badly and quickly by Dockett.... Baas was pulling and ran into the side of Dockett (bet he was shocked), he only had a fraction of a second to help before illegally yanking Dockett from behind to stop him... Rachal pulled out wide and Staley pulled inside, but the damage was done... nothing Hill could do there. *** pulling has often been a guge detriment to our run game because of the penetration involved***
3rd and 20 at ARZ 44 (1:19) (Shotgun) S.Hill pass incomplete short left [A.Rolle].
The Replay Assistant challenged the incomplete pass ruling, and the play was REVERSED.
(Shotgun) S.Hill sacked at SF 47 for -9 yards. FUMBLES, RECOVERED by ARZ-B.Berry at ARZ 40.
Free rush from Rolle... everything else was holding up enough... had just at 3 seconds to pass, and the wind up was slow... Snyder took the DE, RB took the OLB, leaving Rolle free... Singletary was clearly furious as he yells at Hill on sideline

Arizona Cardinals at 1:15 SFO ARI

1st and 10 at ARZ 40 (1:15) (Shotgun) K.Warner pass short right to T.Hightower to SF 46 for 14 yards (P.Willis, N.Clements).
4 DL - Manny and Parys get upfield well... JUstin and RayMac 5 yds up middle... lil dump off screen that Willis chases down
1st and 10 at SF 46 (:48) (Shotgun) K.Warner pass short left to T.Hightower ran ob at SF 33 for 13 yards (S.Spencer).
4 DL - Manny crashes in, allowing good stunt from RayMac... such a quick and wide open short pass to RB
1st and 10 at SF 33 (:41) (Shotgun) K.Warner sacked at SF 38 for -5 yards (R.McDonald).
3 DL w/ Manny standing - Manny gets great upfield burst on LT, but QB steps up just as Manny misses the swipe attempt... Justin doubled but keeps battling in middle... excellent job by RayMac getting upfield and disengaging to get QB
Timeout #3 by ARZ at 00:34.
2nd and 15 at SF 38 (:34) (Shotgun) K.Warner pass short right to J.Urban pushed ob at SF 32 for 6 yards (T.Brown).
4 DL - Haralson quick on edge but gets pushed past QB... Manny gets stoned after a few yds... useless stunt by Ray... JUstin doubled well... quick pass sideline well covered by Brown
3rd and 9 at SF 32 (:29) K.Warner pass short left to L.Fitzgerald to SF 22 for 10 yards (D.Bly) [P.Haralson].
3 DL w/ Manny standing - Manny and Justin contained by 3 OL... RayMac contained by RG.... Haralson geat inside move on RT for pressure, but Warner slips it out just in time... very tight coverage by Bly
1st and 10 at SF 22 (:11) K.Warner spiked the ball to stop the clock.
2nd and 10 at SF 22 (:11) (Field Goal formation) PENALTY on SF, Unsportsmanlike Conduct, 11 yards, enforced at SF 22 - No Play.

4 DL - Manny doubled outside... Justin fight forward for 5 yds, RB chips... RayMac doubled well... Marquis Harris (at LDE) washed past QB... phenomenal coverage by Nate on Fitz... ball slightly overthrown, but pretty sure Nate's leaping hand b/w Fitz's would have prevailed
2nd and 10 at SF 11 (:05) N.Rackers 29 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-M.Leach, Holder-B.Graham. 13 6
DRIVE TOTALS: SF 13 ARZ 6, 8 plays, 49 yards, 1 penalty, 1:15 drive, 15:00 elapsed

Why do you even waste your time doing this. We all seen and watched the game.

I enjoyed reading it. Why do you post nonsense? You seen and watched the game at the same time? Impressive.

The ball was just a couple inches from the 29 yard line (presnap). Sopoaga tipped it at the 25 yard line... Warner threw it at the 24 yard line after a 3 step drop. In that situation, I'd say Sop and Franklin got pretty much in Warner's face.

I love the Niners and get get a far better sense of what is happening when I do this as opposed to watching 1 time live. I wish everyone did this so there would be far less ignorance as to who does well, and what's really going down.
