49ERS / Hill returns to where he began

- It's fair to say Shaun Hill does not have a scrapbook overflowing with clippings from his glory years with the Minnesota Vikings. There weren't any - clippings, that is. There were years, though, four of them, spent as Minnesota's No. 3 quarterback behind...

49ers lose a heartbreaker

The 49ers lost a heartbreaker to the Vikings, 27-24, in a game that Brett Favre drove Minnesota down the field and threw a game-winning touchdown pass to Greg Lewis with 2 seconds left. Shaun Hill and Vernon Davis were particularly outstanding today, finally getting on track and to hooking...

Gore's injury opens door for Hill to shine

The 49ers, for whatever reason, were reluctant to ask Hill to do too much late in Sunday's game against the Vikings. It looked as if he won the game with a 5-for-5 performance with 89 yards passing on the go-ahead drive. But, then, they took the ball out of his hands on the final two drives. The reason Hill won the starting job in training camp is because he demonstrated...

SF's third-down failings

Do you want to know why the 49ers lost today to the Vikings? They were abysmal on third downs. (And, yes, Brett Favre's game-winning TD fling came on a third down.) Defensively, the 49ers allowed the Vikings to convert 50-percent of the time (10 of 20). And, offensively, the 49ers were a staggering 0-for-11 when faced with a third down. If they convert one of those third...

Uh-oh! 49ers give Favre one last shot

TOM OLMSCHEID Associated Press There was cause for celebrating a sack of the 49ers' Shaun Hill in the first quarter by Jared Allen (69) of the Vikings. It was their only sack.

49ers Learn Three Valuable Lessons for the Future

The San Francisco 49ers had the opportunity to start the season 3-0, but due to two costly lessons, they left Minnesota with a loss and a 2-1 record. You could make the argument for a third lesson as well, but for now let's leave it at two. For the 49ers, the first costly lesson was on the offensive side. The 49ers had the ball after the Vikings punted. Given the circumstances...

Do the 2009 San Francisco 49ers Remind Anyone Else of the 2000 Baltimore Ravens?

Yes I said it. This year's 49ers squad looks very reminiscent of the 2000 Super-Bowl Champion Ravens. But let me say this I am not making a prediction here. I am not predicting the 49ers to go 12-4 or win the Super Bowl. All I'm doing is comparing two teams who seem to have a lot of parallels. Both teams boast dominate defenses and snore-fest offenses that heavily rely...

Fantasy Fallout, Week 3: TEs

- Vernon Davis (7-96-2) had a huge game, but I doubt there were too many fantasy owners that had the balls to start him. - Tony Gonzalez (1-16) was a non-factor on Sunday. - Brent Celek (8-104-1) is looking like an every week starter at TE. He has good hands and the Eagles need a good second [...]
