SANTA CLARA Mike Singletary is like a tightrope walker who's gotten halfway across the high wire and stopped. He teeters to one side. The crowd below gasps. He leans hard to the other side. Another gasp. He might fall! Then again, he might regain his balance, tiptoe to the other side and ta da! stick his landing. Which is to say, Singletary has reached the critical point in the...

For the second week in a row the 49ers played just well enough to lose. However, I count this game as a complete moral victory for the Niners. After all, they came T-H-I-S C-L-O-S-E to beating one of the top three teams in the NFL, the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts 18-14 victory brought their record up to a perfect 7-0. The 49ers are the first team to provide any sort of challenge to the mighty Colts,...

SANTA CLARA With the 49ers' defense holding Peyton Manning and the Colts to 18 points Sunday, the perception following the game was the 49ers lost because of another stodgy, run-heavy performance by the offense. Despite playing with the lead for three quarters, however, offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye opted to air it out in Indianapolis. Of the team's 54 offensive plays, 36 were passes. On...

More photos » by Darron Cummings - AP Browse more photos » When I was writing yesterday's recap , I mentioned that I was withholding comments on Alex Smith. Given how big a story it was in 49ers -land when Smith was elevated to QB1, I felt it was definitely deserving of its own post. Additionally, I thought it'd be useful to provide an opportunity to grade Smith's performance. I think an...

It must have been difficult for Mike Singletary to bench Shaun Hill in favor of Alex Smith last week. After all, it was Singletary, then 49ers interim coach, who benched J.T. O'Sullivan in favor of Hill last season. Hill then played well enough to help Singletary win the full-time gig. But Smith proved Singletary right Sunday despite the 49ers' 18-14 loss in Indianapolis. Smith completed 19 of his...

Fooch's Update 2:10pm - Adam Schefter is usually on the money, but just to make it official, the 49ers sent out their press release announcing the Tarell Brown contract extension. I couldn't really think of a catchy title for this, so I just went for something simple. Twitter has provided us a potpourri of information for your discussion pleasure. Tarell Brown The 49ers haven't sent out the official...

We've had a whole lot of conversation about the budding Alex Smith- Shaun Hill QB controversy that quickly developed yesterday. We have plenty of room for that, but I thought it might be nice to mix things up a bit given how many issues there are sitting on the table for the 49ers . There are defensive issues, there are offensive issues, there are special teams issues. For this particular thread though,...

by Nancy Gay Filed under: 49ers , Texans The San Francisco 49ers waited through training camp and the first seven weeks of the regular season for their first-round draft choice, wide receiver Michael Crabtree , to make headlines for something other than his contract demands. The 10th overall pick did just that Sunday, supplanting starter Josh Morgan and sending two other key 49ers receivers -- Brandon...
