Since I spent the entire Packers - Cowboys game last Sunday schmoozing with bigwigs in my chosen profession and attempting to get a job, I had to rely on a friend's BlackBerry to give me periodic updates on the score (whenever he was getting service in that Faraday Cage of a hotel). Needless to say, I startled a few people with my exclamations of joy when seeing the score go from 3-0 to 10-0 and then...

November 18, 2009With the 6th pick of the 2006 NFL draft, the San Francisco 49ers took tight end Vernon Davis, out of the University of Maryland. The Niners were confident in his ability to catch passes and become a serious threat on offense, perhaps even to the level of elite tight ends like Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates. In his first three seasons in San Francisco, Davis did not live up to those...

As a 49' ers fan, I'm always interested when the name Josh Morgan pops up. By all accounts, the 2 nd year wide out has excelled in training and could have a good future ahead of him. Which is why I was a little annoyed that Crabtree waltzed straight in after his holdout and took the starting job from Morgan. Yes Crabtree is good, but I don't like the message it sends to the team. Well, now Morgan gets...

I was poking through the various game threads (more of a skim than hard read), and one of the discussion points that continued for yet another week concerned Vernon Davis and his penalties. Davis was called for a pair of false starts. One of the false starts did not really cost the team in the end, but the first one might have cost them a touchdown (some speculation on my part). Mike Sando runs a weekly...

I read an article around week 3 or 4 by one of the Bears beat writers that said our OL was pretty average compared to the rest of the league, that there are only a few really good OLs and only a few bad ones. He had Chicago lumped in...

Yess! Niners win! Niners win! Hey folks, I'm here again, as promised--with no voice to speak of, as promised. The very loud guy wasn't at the game yesterday (the one sitting to the right of myself) so it ended up being my brother and I to do our best to lead most of the chants in our area. Be the end of the first half, my voice was going. Somebody told me on here we'd win if I couldn't speak anymore,...

SAN FRANCISCO – Vernon Davis' assessment of the Bears' defensive line evidently reached Chicago. During pregame warmups, Bears defensive end Adewale Ogunleye approached Davis and got in his face. The two exchanged a few heated words before Bears center Olin Kreutz entered the conversation and pulled Ogunleye away. Davis, of course, called out the Chicago defensive line earlier in the week by...

San Francisco TE Vernon Davis was a major disappointment on Thursday in a Week 10 win over the Bears. He caught only three passes in the game as the 49ers aerial attack suffered overall with QB Alex Smith throwing for just 118 yards. He gained 16 yards on the three catches.

As it turned out, what Vernon Davis meant to say was, "I think our defense will destroy them by picking off Jay Cutler five times." Strong safety Michael Lewis' end zone interception as time expired saved a 10-6 victory by the 49ers over the Chicago Bears...

Chicago Bears vs San Francisco 49ers Bears: After getting embarrassed on their home field just a few days ago, the Bears will be back at it again. The 49ers defense has been hot and cold all season, so its unclear which defense will show up for this one. Matt Forte has been invisible for most of the year, but he's turned in a couple solid weeks recently. San Francisco is pretty tough against WRs,...
