Originally posted by nw9erfan:I have seen Ben play since college. He is tough to bring down when healthy. While not fast, Ben is elusive and does buy time by moving around, if you watched him in other games it shows. Last night, he had no movement-a sitting duck. Based on that I say yes it helped the 49ers. Cause the D has alway gotten pressure, but sometimes the QB escapes when they fail containment.-just watch some past games. With that said, you play with the hand you are dealt, if the niners didn't take advantage then it shows they don't have what it takes to go for the jugular. You take advantage of their weakness.

Totally agree Funky... Ben is not that mobile even when he is healthy...

Them Dinged up QB, Us dinged up RB (both players huge part of each offense)
Them suspended LB, Us injured LB (Both players huge part of defense)
Them, injured Center, Us both opening day WR's not in the game! (Hell we even lost Ginn in the second half)
We have more at least one more weak ass p***y excuse for losing and we kicked their asses! f**k'um they could have run Charlie Batch's ass out there, we started Grant not an injured Willis, it is called depth we has it! It's late in the season, nobody is 100%

I'd say not having willis and harrison even out. Ben being hurt cost them a little but everyone gets hurt and ben usually kills teams when he's hurt. So it is what it is they lost.

that ball to VD across the field was perfect. That's a tough throw to make.

all his passes to VD were on the money, even the one that Clark knocked out, Its clear that VD and Alex have a good chemistry. Its time to Free Vernon

Man. Can you guys believe this? We just dominated one of the hotter teams in the league that ranked
#1 in total Defense in yards allowed.
#2 in ppg allowed
#12 in offense yards per game
#22 in ppg (not good which is why we shut them down)

We didn't win a nail biter. Man, we effing dominated there sorry ass terrible towels. We dominated one of the few teams said that can possibly win it all. Dominated.
If we get a regular week vs BAL, we beat their asses too.

The Rogers pick was just a damn good defensive play and a terrible decision by the QB. Rogers cut on that ball in a flash. The pick to Goldson was a VERY tight window where it was an "oh s**t looky what I found" throw but he rushed it (which he had to) and threw it a little high. Those types of mistakes happen every game, just that Golsdon was in an opportune location and did a great job breaking on the ball.
Pick to Brown was a desperate attempt similar to the INT Alex threw to Braylon a few weeks back. WR had very little chance to make a play on it.

This...exactly this. This is why it is so critical to be healthy later in the season. It sucks when you lose key players or they are unable to perform, but it's part of the game.
Pretty sure Atlanta wasn't crying about how they only beat us because Hearst was injured early in the game...

Baltimore is the defensive version of the Saints...dangerous as all get out...maybe even almost unbeatable...at home.

That's the won loss that makes me feel cheated. We hung with them inspite of crap calls, over the top short week and going to the east coast.
