NFC WILD CARD ROUND: (6) Chicago Bears vs. (3) San Francisco 49ers Patrick Willis (52) and the 49ers’ defense proves to be too much for Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, and the rest of the Bears’ offense. Both teams come into the 2012 playoffs having already clinched a playoff berth weeks ago. The 49ers proved [...]

Fan Post:
The 49ers will release Randy Moss sometime this year. It may happen sooner. It may happen later. But it will happen.
Why? Because for reasons that mystify me, he’s on the field for fewer than 25% of their plays. And when he IS on the field he’s little more than a decoy for Manningham, Davis or Crabtree—EVEN WHEN HE’S IN SINGLE COVERAGE!!!
Which begs the twofold...

Name the 49ers quarterback who has thrown the most consecutive passes without an interception. Joe Montana? Wrong. Steve Young? Also wrong. The record-holder is none other than the current, much-maligned San Francisco quarterback. Alex Smith marked his 185th regular-season attempt without a pick Sunday, setting the new record. Young held the record for the 49ers going into Sunday...

How great is this guy? He videobombs Alex Smith and Michael Crabtree for a good 2-minutes without detection following the 49ers Sunday night victory over the Lions. The Hooded wonder leans in to listen to the 49ers quarterback, nods approvingly, shifts uncomfortably from side to side like a guy waiting for his buddy to steal a Playboy magazine from a corner store, and generally...

(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. AP Photos.) By JANIE McCAULEY AP Sports Writer It was a natural moment for Michael Crabtree to address his 49ers teammates when he turned 25 last Friday.
So, Crabtree obliged, on the field after practice. And he surprised a few of his San Francisco colleagues with a spot-on message: The defense has been doing so much to carry San Francisco, he called...

Randy Moss is prepared for cheers, he's prepared for boos. He is embracing all the hype surrounding his return to Minnesota, where his illustrious career began 14 years ago.
Moss is headed back to the Metrodome on Sunday in his No. 84 jersey for the San Francisco 49ers, eager to step onto the very field where he played some of his best games in seven-plus seasons with the Vikings...

Alex Smith’s interview with NBC after the 49ers beat the Lions on Sunday night may have been the most amusing part of the network’s telecast. As the 49ers quarterback was being interviewed following his 226-yard, two touchdown performance, a super creepy dude wearing a hoodie began sneaking up behind him...

If you saw Alex Smith in his post game interview you would have seen the blood flowing down the front of his nose, Smith didn’t let a sore nose stop him from finding a way to beat the Detroit Lions to move his 49ers to 2-0. Smith showed he is one tough competitor. Smith finished the game going 20 of 31 for 226 yards and 2 touchdowns. He found a way to get his team down the field...

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. No team in the NFL understands how motivated receiver Randy Moss gets for big games better than the Minnesota Vikings, his club for the first seven seasons of his career and one ill-fated month in 2010.Minnesota has been the beneficiary of many of those big moments, such as when he scored two touchdowns in his first regular-season game and when he made his "...

The San Francisco 49ers stymied 2011 NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers in Week 1, then record-setting Matthew Stafford in Week 2.
This stingy, opportunistic defense is again making its mark as one of the league's best facing the top offenses and most prolific passers -- and that you can shake on.
The Niners denied Stafford another milestone, Vernon Davis caught touchdown passes of 21 and...

The Lions are once again being accused of being cheap on the field.
After last night’s game between the Lions and 49ers, San Francisco lineman and Central Michigan alum Joe Staley didn’t pull any punches when expressing his feelings on the Lions;
“I think it was key for our front offensive line to handle it tonight because they like to be cheap after the play and they think...
Despite taking a year off from the game, Randy Moss is still generating respect, even from defenders on a team that cut him two years ago.

The San Francisco 49ers are nearing their best start in 14 seasons partly because their defense did enough to keep a pair of the NFL's top quarterbacks from beating them.
Their own signal-caller has done a pretty nice job as well.
Alex Smith and the unbeaten 49ers visit the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in a game that will also feature Randy Moss' return to the city where...

Alex Smith threw two touchdowns to Vernon Davis, Frank Gore ran for 89 yards and a score and the San Francisco 49ers beat the Detroit Lions 27-19 on Sunday night.
San Francisco's stout defense smothered Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson on a cold, late summer night at Candlestick Park until late in the fourth quarter. The Lions settled for field goals of 41, 40, 38 and 48...

Literacy is apparently not a requirement to play for San Francisco.Either that, or the 49ers have a vastly over-inflated view of their accomplishment on Sunday night.To be fair, the Detroit Lions came in and were forced to play San Franciso's style of football. The 49ers played better. They took advantage of their opportunities. They won the game.Since the final seconds ticked...
