I still never understood how adding 1 CB from the Raiders, Vince Young, Ronnie Brown, and an injured Steve Smith made them a "dream" anyway... but good riddens

well it doesnt help when you got a press corner playing zone, first mufuker to stop the run. Stupid scheme. Got a damn Oline coaching D.

Normally, the Niners just badly injure the opposing players. This week, they killed the whole TEAM.

Pfft, they shouldn't have been calling themselves that anyway. They got a capable backup quarterback and an overpaid corner, and all of a sudden they're a dream team? Come on!

Well, when you add 2 Pro Bowl Cornerbacks (Asomugha, Rodgers-Cromartie), Vince Young (a former starter), Ronnie Brown (a former pro bowler) and Steve Smith (a former starter) to a team that went 10-6 and already consisted of Vick, McCoy, Jackson, Samuel, Nate Allen, and a couple more pro bowlers... you have reason to be excited. They let it all go to their head, just like the Miami Heat did. I'm sure they'll pick it up soon.

Miami should told them what a huge mistake that was.
