Im on the fence....I still want Singletary gone...but I still want us to win, if we keep winning he stays...

I've come to the conclusion that I want Sing replaced only if we miss the playoffs. And its gonna be a real test to get past:

San Diego @ home

Green Bay @ home

St. Louis @ home

Tampa Bay

We can only afford to lose one of these games. Going 8-8 and we're pretty much out and so is Sing.

I think Troy Smith has single handedly forced future opponents to fear the deep ball against us. This should really open it up for Gore.

But the 49ers did not commit any turnovers, and their 454 yards of total offense ranked as the team's highest output since a 474-yard explosion in October 2004 against the Cardinals.

A couple weeks ago, there was a report that Sing would have to win a couple playoff games to save his ass. I don't know how Troy Smith will change things if he continues to play like this. I want Sing gone but I still want to win the division. I want Troy Smith to be the answer too. We'll see how it goes, there's still a lot of games to play and I'm not counting my eggs before they chicken yet.

Joe Staley lost for the season, I was not aware of this.

Well he has a broken fibula which hes supposed to miss approximately 6 weeks, that's pretty much the season right there.

Is that considered post game analysis.

Bad team was leading the division.

Bad team that hasn't won on the road this season if I remember right.

We had 2 weeks to get ready and rest up players.

And if their TE catchs that ball on their last drive in regulation, they win and we lose and its another heart breaker for us. That was lucky for us pure and simple but maybe its our turn to start getting the breaks cause until now we havn't had one.

You know what? Take this luck crap and ram it hard. How come every effing time a 9er makes a good play down the stretch in crunch time, some wiseass has to say it was lucky?

This is the 1st time the 9ers have won after a bye in a long time. The Rams are much better than expected and everyone here wishes that Alex Smith 2005 ='ed Sam Bradford 2010.

On the flip side Troy Smith is looking like he might be a decent QB.

We won. Yet to some the win sucks. Really?

staley can still make it back before season end...esp in time for playoffs lol

Yeah, and he came back in the game... What a hog. That shows a lot to the team and fans.

Go Niners!!!!!

Kudos to Troy Smith.

I see an interesting pattern here:

In '08
JTO in game 1 - 80.2
2 - 106.4
3 - 123.3
4 - 59.6
5 - 55.9
6 - 49.2
7 - 69.9
8 - 59.8 At which time JTO was benched for Hill

Hill in game 8 - 102.2
9 - 60.1
10 - 142.3
11 - 100.9
12 - 96.5

Jumping ahead to '09
Hill in game 1 - 89.3
2 - 86.1
3 - 94.6
4 - 104.9
5 - 45.7
6 - 64.6 At which point Hill was benched in favor of A. Smith

A. Smith in game 6 - 118.6

See the pattern? You bring in the new QB and he plays like a Pro-Bowler for awhile, and then reality arrives. We'll just have to see if this pattern continues.

That isn't a bad team anymore. Sam Bradford is a stud.

The Pattern is that the JTO played the '08 Seahawks & Lions. Seahawks had a whopping 4 wins that year; Lions 0-16. Hill played the same Seahawks and the Rams only had 2 wins that year.

Expanding on HessianDud's (great post btw) defense of Ginn's fair catches, Andy Lee has met his match.

That Ram's punter had a brilliant game, great distance and outstanding hang time. Ginn would've had to be either suicidal or stupid to attempt a return on those punts, they were that good. Think about it, the gunners were arriving well before the ball, what was Ginn supposed to do? Fortunately, he chose to fair catch those excellent punts and gave Smith and the offence a chance to keep us in the game.
