INDIANAPOLIS – Flawless. That was the word the 49ers preached all week as they prepared for the undefeated Colts. They would have to play mistake-free football to hand Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne and Dwight Freeney their first loss of the season. They didn't. As was the case earlier this season in Minneapolis, the 49ers were tougher and hungrier and leading late in the second half. But in falling...

The San Francisco 49ers kept it close with the Indianapolis Colts, but in the end, a trick play would spoil the 49ers' bid to win their fourth game and putting a stop to the Colts' undefeated season. On the first play of the fourth quarter, the Colts ran a stretch play in which cornerback Shawntae Spencer [...]

Well then. According to Maiocco (as seen in this Chronicle article ), Tarell Brown will start at left cornerback opposite Shawntae Spencer . Big thanks to kezarvet for mentioning this in the Pro Bowl Voting FanPost . I hadn't even noticed it yet. According to the Chronicle article, Nate Clements will likely shift inside to a slot position when the 49ers are in their nickel defense, with Dre Bly now...

BOB LEVEY Getty Images Rookie wide receiver Michael Crabtree (15) of the 49ers reaches high to make one of his five receptions – for 56 yards – as Texans cornerback Jacques Reeves (35) closes in. HOUSTON – Cornerback Shawntae Spencer on Sunday made a strong argument that he, not Nate Clements, is the top coverage man on the 49ers' defense. For most of the game, Spencer lined up across...

It was a question that had Shawntae Spencer vaulting off his stool in hysterics. Such a ridiculous question, he said. What was asked of the 49ers' right cornerback was if he thought the 49ers were lacking in speed on defense. Offense, too, for that matter. "...

Tomorrow the Atlanta Falcons travel to Candlestick Park to take on our San Francisco 49ers in what should be a rather good matchup. Still, all these previews I see aren't good enough, I most certainly need more. A couple weeks ago before the Seahawks game I posted an article much like this in which I simulated the game on Madden NFL 10 for the Xbox 360--the game picked the 49ers to win it, and wouldn't...

In an effort to better know the San Francisco 49ers , I exchanged questions with Fooch from SBN's Niners Nation . Here's a little more about the 49ers. 1. I think it's fair to say that the 49ers have surprised a lot of people with their fast start the season. What's been the difference between this year's 49ers team and those from the recent past? At this point it's probably the development of the...

By Comedian Sean Keane It was a banner day for Sean-variant names in the NFL this week. LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson each scored touchdowns for Philadelphia. Shawntae Spencer intercepted a pass for the 49ers. Knowshon Moreno rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown for the Broncos. And Marshawn Lynch was still suspended, so he [...]

By Mike White | Tuesday, Sept. 22, 10:00 p.m. What states are producing the most NFL players? No surprise that California, Texas and Florida are the top three. But this year Pennsylvania is 10th. USA Football recently perused all of the opening-day rosters in the NFL and found that 205 players come from California high schools. Texas is second with 179 and Florida third with 176. Next in line is Ohio...

More photos » by Marcio Sanchez - AP Browse more photos » Well then, it certainly is easy to forget the week 1 rushing performance after a game like this. The 49ers currently sit at 2-0 thanks to a mostly stellar defensive performance, but just as importantly, an epic Frank Gore performance. The announcers mentioned the impressive percentages of 2-0 teams making the playoffs (something...

Morning everyone, James here. I'm in a bit of a hurry this time, so I apologize in advance if I miss any links (which like, never happens, of course) though I'll do my best to get the bigger sites up. Still, right off the bat I see quite a few articles concerning a certain first round pick that I DON'T want to hear about any longer. Sadly, I have to keep writing about him if he keeps doing.. well.....
