This game vs the 49ers DOES NOT SCARE ME ONE BIT

[SWIFT HITTER]

Sorry to burst your bubble but your running game will not even get over 100 yards against our defense, especially in our house. We didn't give up 90 yards to Adrian Peterson at their house, what makes you think your running game will do better in our house?

we will get over 150 yards rushing BANK IT.

Norwood and Turner combine

[Ga_spider]

Keep sleeping on our team, keep thinking what you're thinking. Don't be surprised if you leave SF with a fat L and the score 26-13 wondering what just happened. Yea we beat a low Rams team, but we are one Brett Favre miracle junk pass from being 4-0. We played at a hostile place in Minn without our star player and should have won, we went against the NFC champs n shut down their offense on their own turf that eliminated you all last year. We played a Seahawks team that was good when they came in, but left all beat up, now they are horrible without Hassleback.

At least we made it to the playoffs. Where were the 9ers?

[Ga_spider]

Yes, and this is the same MB that has made many such brilliant statements such as

* "Flacco is an average QB, he only wins because of the defense"

* "The Saints arent that good"

*"The 49ers should have beat the Rams by way more than they did, they arent that good"

* Tom Brady is over-rated"

Your coach walks around with his pants down "for motivation". Enough said.

[falconfanjason]

This will be a tight game, these guys took the Vikings to the limit.

If we get the running game established, we win. If we don't its going to be a long day.

[MattM12]

patrick willis..and takeo spikes..no way turner breaks 150..sorry guys.

i expect a win, but it will matty, not mike

[Xfactor]

Until our defense tightens up and can stop the run no game is going to be easy. Thank God Gore is out but they probably have a 3rd string RB who will gain 100 yrds. Turner will be stopped twice Malarkey abandons the run and Matt wins this one in the air but still a close game.

I think we did a good job on Carolina and Miamis runing game.

[red2play]

Well our next 4 games are gonna be tough, SF, Chi, Dal, and NO. We can't afford to lose against the easiest opponents of the 4.

Hmmm isn't this the team that almost beat Minn? and of the 4, Dal is the weakest.

[ATLNINER_FAN]

The only way I see how the 49er's keep is game close is if Matt Ryan has 3 turnovers and you guys score at least 1 defensive td. You guys have no weapons on offense. Vernon Davis can be taken out of the game easily . Issac Bruce is like 45 years old and doesnt have the seepd nor the other weapons around him to be effective. Your defense is good ..You guys got a goodline ..You switch up the 3-4 with the 4-3 base ..You got a star in Willis ..good corners and a decent safety but this defense can be explotited easy..We get our offense rolling this week ..

49er fans you guys are good your going to win the division maybe 8-8/9-7 gets you guys in ..

I hate 49er fan base to as well just what you guys did to us back in the day .. too bad in 98'

when we beat them in the dome in playoff game and Young threw like 3 ints:lol:

You know, I thought I was going to be able to come here and have intelligent football talk, and at first I did, but the more I read the more delusional I see some of you really are. You're really acting like you have the best offense in the league. News Flash, you don't. A lot of you are still living in the triumphs of last season. Last season was great for you guys, but this season is here and it's shaping up differently. Turner isn't rushing the ball all that well. Your Defense is suspect. Your offense isn't as high powered as you think it is. The only real thing you guys have going for on Offense you is Matt Ryan/Tony Gonzalez. Now, I'm not going to be so idiotic as to say, "we can stop Tony Gonzalez and stop the offense", because you can't stop Tony Gonzalez and Matt Ryan is very resourceful, but I will say that our Defense is the best Defense you'll have faced this year, and you're doing it in San Francisco. I can guarantee you guys will have more than your share of 3 and outs. We won't need to force Ryan into 3 ints to win this game. Solid Defense will win this game. You have good LB's, but none of them are fast enough to run with VD, that's just a fact. You're underestimating Josh Morgan on the outside (and rightfully so since he isn't a known receiver) who is a solid receiver, and you're totally writing off Isaac Bruce. We don't need Bruce to stretch the field, we need him to be what he is, which is a possession receiver. I'm hoping the OC opens the pass plays up a little bit more, because that's actually our strength. I see this as a close game in the first half, and the Niners take it over in the 2nd half

You want to talk football Im down to talk football but it seems you cant be realistic predicting we have 10 points on Sunday in what seems to be a nice weather game. We have to many weapons on offense to only score 10 points. Unless like I said we are shooting ourself in the foot with turnovers we will be able to put up points and move the ball. As for the only thing we have working for us now is the Ryan to Tony G combo is correct but Ryan has done a good job spreading the ball around in the 3 games. Im sure Mularky is going to use some 4 wr sets and let you put the corners on the field . That takes away the base 3-4 defense when you have to play that many corners. Im sure we will take a couple of deep shots to with Roddy..Nate is a over agrressive corner IM TELLING YOU THIS NOW HE GETS BEAT DEEP THIS GAME ..EITHER FOR A BIG PLAY OF A BIG PASS INTERFERENCE CALL . Our running attack has yet to take place and we get back the speedster Jerious Norwood. A couple of draws to him and then LBS drop in to protect against run and Ryan hits the play action pass for 30 yards over to Tony G.

Your offense is putrid. Its realy mind boggling with a team that bad on offense is 3-1 but that is what you get for playing a soft schedule. Hey this is the NFL you play whats on it. Your offense will have to find ways to create it . Bruce should not beat our bad corners. Davis is a good option in the middle of the field for you guys but we have been pretty solid not allowing the big play. Our defense yes needs work but we are not aggressive we have a bend dont break approach much different from your scheme. Plus if we generate a pass rush with Abe it will be a long day for Hill like it was for Chad Pennington first week

this game in my opinion has romp writen all over it

[Joremarid]

thats good for us you are all probably over looking the niners.......

how does it help the 49ers if the fans of the opposing team are overlooking them?

[Joremarid]

Hmmm isn't this the team that almost beat Minn? and of the 4, Dal is the weakest.

agreed, followed by chicago.

if i had to rank them from best to worst: saints, 49ers, bears, 'boys

[Gritzblitz 2.0]

thats good for us you are all probably over looking the niners.......

Personally, I wouldn't overlook the Niners, but fans can overlook whomever they want. I seriously doubt that Mike Smith and Co. are overlooking anyone.

[defensedefensedefense]

Put the crack pipe down swifty...

Ive watched 2 9's games this season and they are vastly improved. Turner will be lucky to crack 70 yards on this team and with our defense, Glen Coffee is liable to run for 125+ and a couple of scores...

I am hoping like **** the birds bounce back, but ive already put SF down for a win in the MB pick 'em contest. 49's will control the clock and also win the game... 27-17

to think you will walk on SF is comedy at it's finest. you call us having a soft schedule, but yet we beat the NFC champs in their house shutting down that offense, and that offense is light years ahead of the falcons. we beat a healthy seattle team, leaving them beat down after the game. we Lost to MN in a game we had, and shut down AP and that pass game. we should be 4-0 but we wills ettle for 3-1 and soon to be 4-1. Your offense out of the 5 games that will be played is second to the last as far as talent goes, but you think you will kick our a$$? huh? and how do you say you are bend but don't break as far as D goes but we are not, it's not very easy to score on this D.

49ers 27 falcons 14

[Scorpion]

It all depends on our defense.

WILL THEY BE ABLE TO GET 49rs offense off the field so Matt can put up some points?? That will determine the game.

Your defense is agressive ..Its not a bend dont style break defense and yes you guys are solid but with the style of defense you guys have big plays can be made while our defense takes the bend dont break approach where if you can continue to pick up first downs but tighten up near red zone. .How you say on talent wise we are 2nd to last is mind boggling. I seriously wouldnt even give you Minny offense over us. They have a 40 year old QB that yea can still throw the ball around but he has turned more into a game manager outside last nights game.

There wr corps is not on par with us. We have a legit number 1 wr thats coming off a pro bowl and a solid 2 in Jenkins along with a nice slot in Booker. Where is the tight end on Arziona or Minny that is on par with Tony G ..COME ON MAN ..Plus Micheal Turner and now a healthy Norwood. You have not faced a more balance offense then us.

[FalconPio]

Didn't we have one of these threads right before the Pats game?..........

Exactly. i like the way you did that.

but hey lets not disturb the almighty MB, we might get negative points

[Rikimaru]

lets take a look at a few things

Rushing Offense

SF-15th ranked; Averaging 107 yards a game, 4 yards a carry

ATL- 25th ranked; 92 yards a game; 3.4 yards a carry

Passing Offense

SF- 28th ranked; averaging 156 yards a game; 6.5 yards a pass

ATL- 20th ranked; averaging 210 yards a game; 7.1 yards a pass

Overall Offense

SF- 28th overall; averaging 264 YPG; 31:03 TOP; +5 TO ratio

ATL- 23rd overall; averaging 303 YPG; 27:32 TOP; +3 TO ratio

Rushing Defense

SF- 4th overall, teams averaging 3.1 yards; 73.8 YPG; ZERO rushing TDS

ATL- 25th overall, teams averaging 4.7 yards; 136 YPG; allowed 2 rushing TDs

Passing Defense

SF- 10th overall; teams averaging 210 YPG; given up 4 TD's, 5 INTs

ATL- 27th overall- teams averaging 245 YPG; given up 3 TDs's 2 INTS

Overall Defense

SF- 6th overall; teams ; 13.2 PPG; allowing 4.4 YPP

ATL- 30th overall; teams averaging 281 YPG; 17.7 PPG, allowing 5.6 YPP

your offense is slightly better than ours. 5 rankings higher but my by much in any catagory. of course our passing is going to be lower since Singletary has made it a point to run the ball. And we have gone two games without our star running back.

but the defense, that is where it all changes.

Swift, you talk about the Niners Defense being aggressive, which you are correct shown by our 11 sacks to your team's 8, but then you go and say that our style leaves us opens to big plays. now, a big play can be categorized as 20+ yards. The niners have allowed 10 plays go over 20 yards but only 1 that is over 40. Now, I dont know if you realize it, but the falcons have those EXACT same stats. So in that aspect our defense's only difference is that we get more sacks.

now, you also say

Then we start pounding the middle away with Turner even though if its for 4-7 yard gains this is going to force them to drop one of the Safety in the box and then Ryan goes to work on Lawson with Tony G

how do you plan on rushing for 7 yards when your team is averaging 3.1 yards per rush?

Also, you must not know a lot about Manny. He is a failure at rushing the passer. We has already established that as a Niner Fan base. but what you fail to realize is that with manny's speed, he is a great cover LB.

you state that Nate Clements is good, but that Roddy White will do this and that to him because he was a pro bowl receiver. well just to let you know, Anquin Boldin has gone to 3 pro bowls as has Larry Fitzgerald. Roddy White has been to one.

Dont expect Shaun Hill to get shell shocked though. sure he has been sacked a lot this year, but has only thrown one pick. And if STL's 19th ranked defense couldnt rattle him, I really dont think your 30th ranked defense can. You say that your team hasnt lost back to back games in who knows how long. well if you want to go with records, Shaun Hill is 9-0 as a starter at Candlestick Park.

Your Running game was great last year, Michael Turner is an amazing back, but as shown in the stats, we are giving up 74 yards per game, do you seriously believe that both your running backs will combine 144 yards? that is almost double what we are giving up.

Swift, you state that Vernon Davis can be taken out of the game easily. May I ask you which of your players can make it so that he is a non factor? And You say that Isaac Bruce is old, but you fail to mention that Isaac Bruce's game has never been about his speed. it is his precise route running, which he still has and many many announcers when covering the niner games state that he can still run those routes.

And no Swift, we do not switch up between the 3-4 and the 4-3. We did that under Nolan. If you have read about the niners, you would see that we changed that when Singletary became the interim head coach. Strictly 3-4.

Let me address this "romp" you supposedly see Swift. 35 points? really? against a team that is only giving up 13 PPG? that is a tall order you are asking of your 23rd ranked Offense.

I will respond to a few people in this thread:

War **** Eagle: please, elighten me how you win easily at our home? yes, you do need to let people know you can run, because you obviously havent been doing it that well with that 25th ranked rushing attack.

FALCONSRDBEST: you are correct, you will not put up 456 yards on a team that is only giving up 284 YPG

Voice of Reason: you are not living up to your name brother if you think you will win big.

Kenyean: what do you know that makes you believe your rushers will break out. We are the best rushing defense you have faced up to this point.

if any of you would like to talk more football, many of us can be found at 49erswebzone.com

This should be a fun game to watch and can go either way, I believe it will be a hard fought game and the winner will be deserving of the win. Hope to see some of you over at our forum for a good discussion

[Rikimaru]

I thought I'd bump this for swift

[atlanta greatest city Ÿ]

Sorry to burst your bubble but your running game will not even get over 100 yards against our defense, especially in our house. We didn't give up 90 yards to Adrian Peterson at their house, what makes you think your running game will do better in our house?

Care to make a wager on us getting 100 yards rushing?

[SWIFT HITTER]

that was a solid response Rikiemaru give me a couple of mins to respond

[SWIFT HITTER]

Rikiemaru-

You have to understand Rikiemaru we do not bring pressure with any of our LBS. we as fans have been begging our DC to do so . So if we are not generating pressure with our front 4 we are not applying pressure. There is more to a team being aggressive then SACK totals. I look at QB pressures. In the 3-4 scheme sometimes a corner/LB blitz package to roll coverage and im sure Matt Ryan being the understudy he is will attack this .

Ryan doesnt hold onto the ball and makes quick decisions.

Our running attack has missed a key component You will see a much different rushing attack when Norwood is in. This will soften the LBS and have to respect his speed. Sure Willis is a beast and can chase down just about anybody but in a 3-4 scheme you guys run there are some holes that can be found on called draws. Turner will get back on track as well . Im sure over the bye week we have worked on some thing about our blocking schemes.

Roddy has not broken out yet due to Tony G getting most of the attack. Im sure Singletary saw how the Pats game planned around Tony G and will look to do the same. That is going to leave Roddy one on one on the outside and I just like that matchup vs a over aggresivley corner in Nate. Mularky our OC needs to call some deep plays. Roddy Y.P.C is wayyyyyyyy down this year cause we are sticking to 7-10 yard hook patterns with him..

Also if we spread you guys out 4 wide and go no huddle your not that deep at the corner position to do so and that gives Ryan and our offense the edge.

Vernon Davis can be covered with Stephen Nichalos and over the top help by our 2nd round pick William Moore.. This will be his first action and there is some hype around this kid who was at one point considered a top 10 talent. He will get his 6 catches 60 yards but he is not having a field day.

What made Bruce ..Bruce route running you are correct but he also had speed but he no longer has that QB to get him the ball and is accurate as was Warner/Bulger back in the day in Martz scheme . Bruce has past his prime and there should be no reason for me to believe he is going to man handler one of our below avg corners .

Shaun Hill is a game manger nothing more nothing less. If you guys truly have this great defense he is your guy then cause he is not going to win or lose you a game. He is just there to pick up a few first downs maybe score a td here or there get in field goal range pick up points and take some heat off your defense.

Matt Ryan on the other hand has that IT Factor.. you seem like you know your stuff you should know what that is.

Like I said Falcons ROMP and Romp big unless we play a sloppy game filled with turnovers and penalties

[Where is my Mind]

man i thought i was the only one feeling that way...

i seriously see turner running for 150+ yards and 3 TDs

i am not really concerned with pass stats, etc. we need to let everyone know we can run...

Against a team that is so good against the run??? That's funny. You guys are a joke if you believe any of this
