Observations after week one

Ok so I was totally impressed by how well the coaching staff handled the game. It was easily the best coaching effort we've seen for years. Did anyone notice the coaching genius when they had on offensive lineman report as eligible and then shifted him drawing Seattle offsides. This was brilliant and just goes to show how creative a group we finally have. We will win at a minimum 2 more games this year just based off of sure intelligence. It's nice to have someone in Alex's corner finally. Did anyone else see the stat line on Alex stating that in his last handful of starts his stat line is 7 touchdowns, 6 passing, 1 rushing, with only 1 pick. This dated back to the end of last season. I think we finally have our QB. As far as special teams go, what an improvement. All around again our best effort on Special Teams in recent memory. I didn't see any botched catching of kicks, no bad kick coverage, no blocks, and Akers made all of our field goals. If the offense plays smart, can pick up some first downs, and not turn the ball over our Special Teams and League Leading D will win us alot of games. Remember the bears a several years back when they played the colts in the bowl. They got there because of their d and special teams. Hell even Hester ran the opening kick back in the bowl. I think the skies the limit this year. We are the best team in the division in my mind. We have to win our home games, our division games, and steal a couple non conference road games. Ohh and lastly, please someone tell me they don't like Crabtree. His effort in week 1 was horrible. We have to get rid of him. He's overrated, he runs his mouth to the downfall of the team, and is a bad seed. I say we trade him to the Bengals of TO. Owens is 37, he's coming off of his best season in 3 to 4 years. Owens played for the niners for like 8 years. We should bring him in for the last 3-5 years of his career to finish as a niner. Imagine TO, Braylon, Morgan, and Davis. That's our dream team. They are all big, and physical. Maybe we could convert a third down. I know we played conservative on 3rd down in the last game so we didn't force anything and it worked. At some point though we have to keep some drives sustained to control the clock. Thats all for now. I'll post more after week 2.

Is this just a summary thread of the last week of Niner Talk?

Week 1 observations the day before week 2 begins are as good as my Sports Ilustrated giving me preview picks 5 days after the games are over because the mailman is late

You think Crabtree has a big mouth and is a bad seed and you want to bring back T.O? Get real. T.O. probably has the biggest mouth of any wide receiver in NFL history and is considered a bad seed with his ability to divide a locker room. That idiot is the reason Jerry Rice ended up playing productively for the Raiders. He didn't want to play in Rice's shadow. Then there was the time he intimated that Garcia was gay. Then Garcia marries a Playmate of the Year. I don't want that loudmouth'd moron anywhere near the 49ers.

How was T.O. the reason Rice went to the Raiders?

Thanks for the observations. I disagree with the Crabtree part, as well as bringing back TO <- No thanks. I am also very excited about Harbaugh and the obvious difference in intelligence between this staff and the staffs of the past decade.

Crabtree get rid of him? Think its a little early for that. Looked terriable due to no training camp. (for 3 years). I am on the fence with Crabtree like I am with Alex. Why in the world do you want T.O. You must not of been around when T.O. was on the team. I am looking at this game with the Cowboys as a potential - turn the corner to a winning season. The key to this game is the line of scrimmage. We control the line on both sides of the ball we win.

Crabs a bust! He's a diva! Until his production matches his ego he's not getting any respect from me. Plus he's often injured. Hasn't been healthy since we drafted him. Cut our losses and get rid of him.

Ohh and thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

The difference is TO is productive. He backs up his attitude with game!! He's probably going to retire second on the all time list for wideouts in most stats. It would only be fitting he retire as a niner.

no TO--his heyday is long gone! I think he should be in the Hall of fame---based on regular season stats.

If anyone is intersted he is a link to the box score of the last niner - dallas game.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/boxscore?gid=20081123006

The team has changed alot since then. I hope we protect the ball in this game. We gave up an interception, fumbled twice, and had a punt blocked for a safety in the last game. I went to the game it was bad. Being at home should help us out.

As far as TO goes his production with the Bengals last season was great. He had like 900 yards and double digit touchdown numbers. Why wouldn't we want the second best receiver in Niners history/nfl history back on the team? Why wouldn't we want a guy that has a gym work ethic like him on our team, why wouldn't we want a crafty veteran player like him. Why wouldn't we want someone like him to give the team some confidence. I still say we bring him back for only a few years so he can finish out his career as a Niner.
