i'm home now! what a great game for the niners.
on one hand, i don't expect this every week. this is the worst defense we have played all year so obviously our #'s are going to be better but it was good to get the win on the road. without mike vick we would have absolutely destroyed the eagles. but he is too fast and too elusive. very fortunate to come away with the win considering how many yards vick racked up.
one thing that kept pissing me off is that on all of jason babins sacks he his anthony davis in the face mask and pushes his head up. THIS IS ILLEGAL HANDS TO THE FACE and you could see that davis was in good position but this affects his blocking. not only that, but justin smith was getting held time and time and time again, no flags. eagles got away with leverage (15 yard penalty) on our first FG miss as well.
whatever though, we won so i don't give a shit. perhaps the best part of the game was crabtree absolutely working nnamdi. he should give some of that money back to the eagles after the way he has played the past couple weeks. thank god we didn't sign him because carlos rogers has been absolutely awesome. that may have been our biggest FA. he has been excellent and really solidified our secondary.
also, people ware finally starting to take notice of navarro bowman. he leads the league in tackles but his best play of the game came on a 3rd and 2 where he ran mike vick down for no gain. keep in mind this is with mike vick moving towards him and he was at a stand still in the zone. that tells me he has very good speed for a LB to run down vick.
i will finish by saying ronnie brown is a fucking idiot. i don't care that it happened against us but if anyone on the niners pulled that shit i would want him cut the next day. i'm not even sure what was going through his mind. i love that it happened but i have never seen anything like that in the NFL. sure, you see qb's going down all the time and just try to chuck it to avoid the sack but i have never seen that front a running back ON THE GOAL LINE! i mean what was going to be the best case scenario there? an incomplete pass and you get to kick a 19 yarder instead of a 20 yarder? baffling.... especially from a veteran.
p.s. alex smith is the best qb in the NFC west. suck it down alex haters!
