49ers still have playoff hopes...

I usually prefer playing a team after they have a victory, because those teams typically lack the urgency that follows a loss. But a victory that keeps their playoff hopes alive? Yeah - I don't like that at all. Damn you, Cardinals!

Yea the one thing about the 49ers that worries me is Frank Gore and Vernon Davis.

BUT you have to look at the Cardinals 7 TURNOVERS!!! ANY team can win when the other teams turns the ball over that much!!

I still feel good about this Sundays game though cause we’re on a hot streak and we’re in Philly which can only help.

bittersweet

good that AZ lost and we have a (small) chance for 2nd seed in the NFC (stupid bengals). bad that they still think they can make the playoffs, therefore causing a tougher matchup this week.

RIP Jim Johnson. You will truly be missed.

Neither team looked impressive. Any team can win the game when the opponent turns the ball over 7 times. I gotta say, Gore is one heck of a back. Great mix of power, speed, and elusiveness.That goal line TD at the end was all muscle and willpower. Vernon Davis as I called it before the season, when everyone called me crazy, is one of the top 3 tight ends in football. We need to contain Gore and Davis. That is the NIners ENTIRE offense. Plus they are traveling over 3000 miles to play us, they have lost 5 straight road games prior. Not concerned at all about next week.

Andy Reid is 43-5 when running the ball at least 30 times in a game( Ray Diddy on Eagles Post Game Live after Bears Victory)

Crabtree is also doing pretty well. We gotta make sure Samuel is covering him, I feel like since he is still a rookie he might give away his routes with his eyes…. but hey, what do I know.

Arizona losing is the better result...

I’d MUCH rather get the 3 seed and face the Cowboys/Giants than get the 4 seed and have to play the Packers.

7 Turn Overs?!?!?

SF is coming off a good win, a defib to their playoff hopes… Any win by Arizona or loss by them though pretty much kills them off. They’ll be fighting… and have their own momentum leading up to meet ours head on next week.

The thing that has kept me from getting too worried by the SF win… Their offense. Removing the Arizona punts and kickoffs after their point drives … Arizona gave SF them the ball 8 times (includes 1 half opening kickoff)… the 49ers only had 24 points, an average of 3 pts per. The reality is actually 2.0 pts per good possession (12, if you exclude those 2 possessions @ end of halves).
