49er’s change quarterbacks yet again, slim playoff hopes on the line.
December 26, 2010 by Eric Schmidt
Filed under Uncategorized
It is expected this afternoon that the San Francisco 49er’s will start Troy Smith against the St. Louis Rams in another must-win game. The constant yo-yo’ing of quarterbacks does nothing for offensive stability and somehow it’s fitting that the 49er’s season is ending as chaotically as it started. I’ve thought all along that Troy Smith [...]
Matt Cassel Is Key To Chiefs Beating Rams

Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel, a mere week after having his appendix removed, is making news as he is back practicing and preparing for Sunday’s game in St. Louis. For Chiefs fans, that’s music to their ears. This past Sunday in San Diego, backup Brodie Croyle was battered and beaten by a rabid Chargers defense. The offense, lacking Cassel’s leadership, [...]

Before we start, let’s get caught up to speed on a couple of signings the New York Yankees made this afternoon: Russell Martin – I don’t like Martin very much. I blame that on his .679 and .680 OPS marks the past two seasons. I like the move though as long as JESUS MONTERO STAYS [...]
49er’s slim playoff hopes rest on game against Seahawks

The slim playoff hopes for the San Francisco 49er’s rest on Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks beat the 49er’s in week one 31-6, which set off a five game losing streak and caused Mike Singletary to thank Seahawks coach Pete Carroll for the beating. That 5 game losing streak put the Niners [...]

Colorado Rockies’ shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is on the verge of signing a 10-year $160 million contract that will cover the final four years of his current deal and extend through the 2020 season. Tulowitzki is the best shortstop in the game and is well deserving of the money. The contract is especially interesting when considering [...]
NFC West QB’s stinking up the NFL
November 24, 2010 by Eric Schmidt
Filed under Uncategorized
It is no secret that the NFC West is the weakest division in the NFL this season, and it might be because the quarterbacks in the division are stinking up the league. San Francisco 49er’s QB Alex Smith proved to be ineffective under center but he was pretty good at one thing-avoiding sacks. According to [...]
San Francisco 49er’s blanked at home by Buccaneers
November 22, 2010 by Eric Schmidt
Filed under Uncategorized
The San Francisco 49er’s got blanked at home 21-0 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. How bad was it? How about the first shutout loss at home for the San Francisco 49er’s since the Carter administration was in the White House in 1977. How about on the third win by a Buccaneers team in [...]
49er’s gameplan to beat Buccaneers-Frank Gore
November 18, 2010 by Eric Schmidt
Filed under Uncategorized
If the San Francisco 49er’s want to extend their two game win streak, the gameplan against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers needs to be RB Frank Gore, and a lot of him. Tampa Bay does not play well on the West Coast, and when you throw in their vulnerability in run defense, a heavy dose of [...]
Have the San Francisco 49er’s seen the end of Alex Smith?
November 16, 2010 by Eric Schmidt
Filed under Uncategorized
So much for the flap over Troy Smith heading back to Ohio during the bye week and after Sunday’s performance you have to ask whether or not the Niners fans have seen the last of Alex Smith. Troy Smith had an impressive game against the St. Louis Rams passing for 356 yards on just 17 [...]
