You may recall 49ers Colin Kaepernick spent extensive off-season time working on his passing motion, reviewing defenses and perfecting reads. Didn't look like it today. In many ways he's regressed from last season.
Meanwhile, looks like the opening home victory against Minnesota was the fluke. 49ers have no answer for Pittsburgh or Arizona in back-to-back games. Eric Mangini (DC) and Geep Chryst (OC): two epic game preparation failures.
Niners officially suck.

(78,249 posts)The second-most fundie QB in history, behind only St. Timmeh , clearly wants San Francisco to lose and programmed Tat Guy to achieve that.
But hey, the Raiders won and are above .500 for the first time since... the SB year?

Raiders are getting better, but for the second straight week the defense suffered a major let-down late in the third quarter and then all through the fourth quarter. Whether it was the game plan or conditioning, it's an area that needs work.
That win ends the Raiders' eleven game road losing streak and was the first victory in Cleveland since 1985.
Raiders are fun to watch.

(24,146 posts)i'm in colrado and have watched the chargers lose two weeks in a row. i looked at next sunday's schedule and i think i have a decent chance of maybe catching their game in chicago. i'd like to see what they look like before the broncos head out there.
all i saw of the 49ers game was the score and knew it had to have been ugly.
i'm in colorado and nbc dropped the chargers/vikings game in favor of bengals/ravens. now that was a good game.

(31,169 posts)BTW, I loved the story on Jim Harbaugh in the Chronicle today. He turned around Stanford, the 49ers and now Michigan. Yes, he can be a jerk. But he's a damn good head coach. Too bad owner York and GM Baalke couldn't have checked their egos.
Well, screw them and their Santa Clara stadium.

(31,169 posts)Mangini, Chryst, Pears (guard) and Devey (tackle).
Plus, if those receivers had been moving there's no way Cardinal defenders jump those first two passes. What kind of patterns does Chryst have these guys running?
