Now, about Sam Bradford and that rookie wall...

Sam is like 6’4 right so maybe the wall is like 5’9 and sam just walked over it….right…right? i mean he had like 3 incompletions 2 td’s and no picks in a division game for generally the title (seahawks suck) and wasnt nearly phased…oh and they were down for the most part too…so i guess some walls are shorter or at least made of toothpicks.

no one expected that one, and they peaked at the right time!

I bloody hope so, I’ve missed that guy

I would’ve been happy with 4-5 wins at the start of the season. Now the expectations are 8-8 and win the division.

after the last few years 5 wins would have been great but after seeing some good football and having the playoffs in reach…forget get the (just 5 wins) tlk we are playing for a tittle not just a NFC west but the superbowl arent we all. last year we were the last team to be in the race now were like 10 or something.

If they don’t fold to the Bucs or Raiders then they would actually have a winning year, so even though the OC calls for Jackson to run up the middle every first and second down then throw a 6 yard pass on 3rd they have managed to rise to the top of the crappy NFC West, but after last year i will take it and LOVE it !!!!

…they’ve given up:

if people would still be talking about the rookie wall if Bradford had made a particular mistake. I can’t remember what quarter it was in, but Sam was hurried and took a few steps forward outside the pocket and didn’t find anyone, so he shoveled it forward to a receiver (I can’t remember who), but it was a mistake and Takeo Spikes almost caught it (and he easily could have if he didn’t have a cast on his whole hand).

It almost reminded me of that terrible shovel pass against the Falcons (I think).

Watching the film, the Niners’ gameplan on defense flat out sucked. They rarely got pressure on Bradford, hitting him only twice this game after getting to him eight times in their first meeting. Even if they did have eight or nine men close to the line of scrimmage, they were so spread out by our 4-WR fronts that they could not bring extra pressure without giving up an easy hot read.

That said, you can’t blame “stacked fronts” on Steven’s poor day running. That was all on the O-line’s inability to match up five men on four rushers, and also account for Patrick Willis. Five guys on defense stifled our run game, with no extra help whatsoever.

I wonder if the loss of Uh-Oh had a lot to do with Sam’s struggles in those few games. It’s not like the team has a lot of reliable receivers otherwise, and Danny can’t do it all by himself.

At any rate, hope we get to see him on the field this week (or in the playoffs)!

last night, I think we were lucky to not get destroyed. Both of those teams brought a killer defense. Sam’s and the whole team played badly because they were simply outclassed by superior teams.
