Playing New Orleans in their house will be the greatest challenge the team has faced yet. If we win, or even lose a close game, it shows that we may have a shot at winning the West this year (likely, they'll only need 8 or 9 wins).
If we get slaughtered, it could be the start...
Questions after Seattle Game

Lawson is fast enough to cover receivers and has the strength to crush running backs, so I don't understand why they don't use him as a DBs in their nickel package. If they insist on using a five DB package all game long, why keep Lawson, one of our best athletes, out of...

This is a one man show for the most part (I do get help from family on certain site related projects), so bare with me on the delays.
I've been in Hawaii the last week, so I didn't have time to select the photos and write commentary for our the home opener album. We'...

As I tore the Game 1 tickets from the pack, I was excited to check out where my upgraded seats would be for the season.
All I had for this game was an average 5.0 Megapixel Cannon, but I will be bringing a high-grade camera (with telephoto lens) to future games, so consider this a...

| Comments
Things change quickly, but the coaches and blogosphere have spoken: Shaun Hill is the third wheel in a two-QB competition. In the first preseason game, O'Sullivan and Smith both showed periods of strong play, while Hill struggled (connecting on 10 of 20 throws, for 4.2 yards an...
Why Starting O'Sullivan Makes Sense

In the first preseason game, it looks like the 49ers will play O'Sullivan against the Raiders' first team, Alex Smith against the second team, and Shaun Hill against the practice squad players in the fourth quarter. Given the current situation, this move makes perfect sense...

So she created it, and we're giving it away: the ultimate, easy-to-read 49ers schedule for your fridges and bulletin boards.

The Niner Insider provided the latest training camp stats for the three-headed QB competition:
JTO: 15-of-19 with good command and touch on deep passes.
Smith: 10-of-21, little command and his daily interception to Dashon Goldson.

Some Seattle Seahawks (2-2 against the 49ers in the last 4 games) fans, seem to think that they will continue to get a free meal ticket in the NFC West.
Mike from Seattle writes: Sando, It seems to me that the NFC West is going to struggle controlling the line of scrimmage against...

Until reading a recent Matt Barrows post, I had forgotten about the NFL's solution to the issue of teams (I won't mention any names) stealing defensive play signals. Much like the ear pieces Californian drivers must sport, the NFL approved the use of a communication device...
