Still some challenges to come next week. Gore is a man and Vernon Davis is as dynamic a TE threat as they come. We seem to be fairly stout vs the run though so I will want to see if Alex Smith can do it with his arm. I think our D can hold their own.

Offensively they may be able to negate our run game but Drew and the passing attack is still too much. They have some nice edge rushers but our weapons outnumber them.

Same next week as it has been in weeks prior: Keep Brees clean and I like our chances.

I said this elsewhere before...the 49ers defense is really good, one of the better ones, but it's only like a lock that "safecracker Drew" has to pick...he surveys it from a distance, creeps into town, puts his ear up to the vault, licks his palms, concentrates, he twiddles and turns the knobs, and it will open up...he has cracked open tough defenses before and it will be a rather stressful game because cracking a defense takes time, but he will turn the dials and get it right!

When all is said and done we won the game and I'll take our D over a couch potato anyday. You couldn't tackle the waterboy, so why should your opinion matter? Just because you have one? I trust our defense and have a lot of respect for the job they get done. It isn't a cake walk. They are amazing human beings, if you ask me. Far more than some of the fans. Merely an opinion.

Wow, what a jerk.

I think I just spotted their field crew out there watering it down, again
the forecast is high 50's and sunny all week, so a wet field would be a little suspect, huh?

I think we played them in Mon or Sun nite game last year. Anyone remember the conditions? I know we were up and let them come back

Next up, San Fran. I've watched a few games of theirs, they do not impress me on O or D, to me they are overrated. As long as Brees and the rest of the O protect the ball we will be fine. Their turnover rate is an impressive stat. but thats it. Turnovers have been the only key to their sucess. They play just like the Ravens, mirror image. We can win this.

It'll be fun to see an elite offense up against an elite defense. Lately our D has been driving me crazy the first half then been making some good adjustments at the half. Hopefully that'll continue.
