The fate of the season pretty much hinges on improved performance by a shuffled offensive line . . . . no pressure guys.

It could be worse. You guys could have the seahawks o-line. Last week we started our 4th string LT, 2nd string LG, 1st string center, rookie RG, and 2nd string RT. Matt had no time to throw. This week we cut our 4th string LT and in his place Damian Mcintosh will start. A KC training camp cut whos nickname is sackintosh. So like I said, it could be worse.

Thanks for carrying yourself with class.

I saw that it was announced that crabtree would be starting on sunday. I instantly didn't like the idea. I thought he should play, but in a limited role. Getting him some snaps is good, but he is a hold out rookie who missed training camp and has had no real time to build a repoire with his qb. That said, its going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

Yeah but our receivers haven't done jack s**t it's pathetic. They either drop passes or Hill doesn't get the ball to them. I'm thinking maybe it's to light a fire under every one else's asses to step it up, or Crabtree is simply just better than anyone else we got. At the end of the season I think Crabtree and Davis will be our top receivers not named Gore.

its probably a bit of both, to light a fire and because he's instantly the best receiver we have

4 days until "The Tree"...

CRANK THAT CRABTREE

I hate Alex Smith !

Go Niners..."Wreck the Texs"

I understand what your saying. But to me it just seems forced. If he can learn under fire though more power to him. Realisticly I would not expect to see a whole lot from him in the passing game until he adjusts to NFL style football. It takes a lot of rookies all four preseason games plus a couple regular season games before things start clicking for them. If people buy into the hype though you might see him get double teamed which would free up other guys to make plays.

The Texans have only allowed 2 sacks all season

CSNBA lied to me

That's weird I was just watching it last night and they said they had only allowed two sacks....I think it was only 2 sacks in the past 3 games..because right before that they said the Texans allowed 140+ rushing yards in the first 3 games, but now they haven't allowed more than 50 yards in the past 3 games..so I think it could be only 2 sacks allowed in the last 3 games

Edit: nope just checked game stats and that's not it either....I dunno wtf they were talking about last night then...well I'm glad it's not true

we need to win this game! man i hope we're ready

I was listening to KNBR this morning and Murph & Mac interviewed the guy who calls the Texans games, and he pointed out that the Texans defense were pretty bad in the first 3 weeks, but have turned it around big time (specifically in rushing defense) in their last two games.

I also watched the Texans/Bengals game and a what I noticed about Texans offense is that they give Schaub a very nice pocket in pass-protection and he's able to make reeeally nice throws. And my goodness Andre Johnson is one dangerous player, he took a wr screen and took it about 60 yards, wow.

Defensively, this guy Brian Cushing is a playmaker and might be DROY candidate, he flies to the ball and has good instincts. Also...we already know Demeco Ryans is a baller.

This game is going to be tough for the Niners, Texans are a pretty solid team.

Man we better win this game if were supposed to be a so called "playoff" contender, b/c we have had 2 fridgin weeks to prepare and if we cant win with 2 weeks to prepare i dont see how we can make the playoffs.
