49ers — wow

It's about time we agree the 49ers are for real -- to go into that stadium in Detroit and keep their composure and beat that very good Lions team, well that's impressive. The Niners won with defense but they also ran against the Lions and Alex Smith threw the winning [...]

More Niners

Another quickie during a timeout. The Niners are behind, sure, but they are showing zero ability to catch up. Their offense is so limited and its scope is so small. There's a quarter left. Can they do anything to give themselves momentum going forward?
