Apple releases Cards iOS app
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Lifestyle, New Apps, Apple, Free Apps
Apple just released Cards, its new app that allows users to create gorgeous greeting cards right from an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad:
The new Cards app from Apple lets you create and mail beautifully crafted cards personalized with your own text and photos — right from your iPhone or iPod touch. Take a quick snapshot and with a few taps and swipes, an elegant letterpress card is on its way to any address in the world. Each card is just $2.99 when sent within the U.S. and $4.99 when sent to or from anywhere else. And that includes postage.
You can get it now, free, on the App Store.
Turntable.fm now available on the iPhone
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Music, Social Networking, New Apps, Free Apps
Turntable.fm is having a good week. The music streaming site on Tuesday released its iPhone app and confirmed that it has raised $7 million in funding.
It had been rumored that an iOS version of the popular service was headed to the App Store this week, and as expected, the app mimics the Web-based experience of Turntable, allowing you to do the same things on your mobile phone that you could do online. For example you can access all of the same rooms where five DJs take turns bumping the songs of their choice as well as rate those tracks as "lame" or "awesome."
From the app, you can also make new rooms and start DJing in existing ones. The app has been well received for the most part, but VentureBeat pointed out that it moves a little bit slower than the desktop version. However, it noted that it works well over 3G, which rumored to be an issue for the app during its testing phase.
Facebook Messenger joins the group messaging fray with iOS and Android apps
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Social Networking, New Apps, Free Apps
Facebook has just released a new Android and iOS app called Facebook Messenger, and it's exactly what it sounds like. Basically, Facebook has taken its messaging system, used their Beluga team to simplify it a bit, and pushed it out as an independent app. You can message your contacts without using up SMS (similar to things like BBM, Google+ Huddle, iMessage, GroupMe, Fast Society, and plenty of others,) and you can also create group messages on the fly as well. People will see these messages show up in the Messenger app, their Facebook inbox, or by SMS if they don't have the app installed. You can also share your GPS location and attach images to the message conversations as well. If you've used Beluga or Facebook, then you know how to use this.
You can grab it now from the App Store and Android Market.
Download the Vonage Time to Call app and get a free international call
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Social Networking, Utilities, New Apps, Free Apps
If you've been putting off calling your aunt in the Dominican Republic or your Slovenian cousins because of the cost of calling from your mobile phone, a promotion from Vonage should pique your interest. The VoIP provider is giving away one free international phone call, up to 15 minutes, to anyone who downloads its new iPhone app, Time to Call. The app is also free.
What's especially appealing about the offer is you don't have to be a paying customer of Vonage (from $11.99 per month) to use the app or get the one free trial call. The free call expires one year after you download the app. Be sure to check that the country you're calling is on the list of 100 that are included in the deal (check below).
After your one free call, all calls are billed in 15-minute increments. Prices for the 15-minute blocks of international talk time range from 99 cents to $9.99, depending on which country you call, although calling most countries is less than $1.99. And typical of Vonage's slightly experimental nature, the Time to Call app doesn't charge you through pre-paid credits or an in-system account, the way other services such as Skype do. Instead, Vonage's app bills you directly through iTunes.

Tweetbot review: New king of the Twitter mountain
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Social Networking, New Apps, Reviews, Videos, Free Apps
We've spent the last half-day or so completely enamored with the latest release from the fine peeps over at Tapbot, Tweetbot. Typically, a new Twitter client isn't anything we would get excited about, as there are probably hundreds out there, and the free Twitter for iPhone does the job well enough anyway. However, we've been impressed with every other app that Tapbot has put out. We're talking about things like Calcbot, Weightbot, Pastebot, and the awesome Convertbot. So when they released Tweetbot after working on it for over a year, we had to check it out.
It's difficult to describe everything that Tweetbot does, but if I had to sum it up with one statement, I'd say "It just makes sense." Oh, and also, it's a joy to use. While the official Twitter app has been suffering from feature bloat (going so far as to try and force a trend bar on us,) Tweetbot is a refreshing throwback to what made Tweetie great in the first place. They've even managed to make lists actually useable and convenient, rather than a clunky add-on, by giving each its own timeline.
We highly recommend Tweetbot -- get a look at the video above that walks through its interface. Pretty slick, right? You can get it now for $1.99 in the App Store.

Bing launches magazine-like iPad app
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Reference, iPad Apps, New Apps, Free Apps
Microsoft knows the importance of the mobile audience, even when it means taking advantage of a competitor's mobile platform—in this case, Apple's. Since late 2009, iPhone users have been able to download a Bing app that offers voice search, local shopping, scrolling image search, maps and directions. Now iPad owners get a Bing app that adds a new trends feature, which lets them explore the trending search topics of the week.
The new app, which is available in the iTunes App Store starting today, sports a homepage featuring the trademark (and often stunning) Bing photo of the day, along with tiles showing local weather, news, maps, movies, and trends. The interface makes a lot of use of the swipe touch gesture, especially in image search. A dropdown menu offers all these choices plus Images, Videos, Shopping and History—that is, your search history, not the school topic.
Trends shows tiled images for the week's major current events. It can almost be thought of as a lightweight replacement for an app like The Daily or Flipboard. Touching one of its images opens a search page showing news and images about the topic, like MLB Opening Day. Some topics get a slicker treatment rather than just a Bing search results page: touching through an entry about "30 Rock's" Tina Fey labled "Ms. Bossypants" displayed a grid of stories that somewhat resembled the New York Times' Web site layout. After reading a result page, you can swipe left-to-right to get back to the trends page.
Vimeo for iPhone brings free video editing, uploading, sharing
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Entertainment, New Apps, Video Apps, Videos, Free Apps
Video site Vimeo on Tuesday unveiled its official iPhone app, which will allow users to create and edit videos, watch existing ones, share with friends, and more.
"We've packed all the best parts of Vimeo into one app! Now you can upload, edit, manage and watch your videos right from your iPhone," Vimeo said. "Need some inspiration? Watch great videos based on your personal preferences or our curated channels."
The app's video editor allows users to: capture video with focus control and grid alignment; combine, edit, and trim videos; add transitions, titles, and effects; add music and recordings; control volume levels; and save videos to camera roll or upload directly to Vimeo.
Footage can be uploaded to Vimeo in standard or high-definition, and the app allows users to pause uploads, replace videos, and edit details.

OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Chris Benz
2010 September 15
Runway Reviews: Bibhu Mohapatra, Jason Wu for TSE, Chris Benz
Getty Images View Gallery
Calling Dunaway! The ever-savvy Bibhu Mohapatra delivered a collection that simultaneously looked to the past and celebrated the modern woman. Channeling the spirit of the 1960s in America, Mohapatra drew on inspiration from Faye Dunaway circa The Thomas Crown Affair. The exuberant collection felt animated yet thoroughly sophisticated; pieces like an ecru mousseline cocktail dress with acid dyed lace and tulle pleated panels or a black silk column with hand cut paillettes were jaw-droppingly intricate. Mohapatra explained, "I wanted to represent the true American woman who is strong and really proud of herself and ready to take on any challenge."
After a particularly well-received eponymous Spring 2011 effort, you can bet everyone in town wants to follow Jason Wu's every design move. His second capsule collection for TSE explored the idea of illusions and Barnett Newman prints. His cream-colored stitched chiffon yarn dresses and sweaters felt light and stimulating. Wu also intelligently incorporated leathers and primary paint into his beautiful cocktail dresses. It was a very strong exclamation point to his already great week.
"It's sort of inspired by everyone's fantasy of being picked up by a handsome man in Paris on a Vespa and cruising off down the Seine," explained Chris Benz of his Spring 2011 collection. "It's the American ideal of French chic, but it definitely has that whimsical American twist." That whimsical American twist has become something of a trademark for Benz, and though this collection he refined his look with the addition of knits (by Loro Piana wool, no less), that quirky girl will definitely still come calling. Box-pleated schoolgirl skirts in sherbet hues, tweedy suits, a below-the-knee, full-skirted dress in cobalt leather—it's the unexpected, ever-so-slightly off details in a Benz show that are so charming, and this season was full of them.

"He will not be at the bowl," Richt said late Wednesday afternoon as the team arrived at the Renaissance Orlando Hotel.
Richt said there are no other academic casualties.
Jenkins is projected by several draft analysts as a first-round NFL pick. He was a second-team All-SEC selection by the coaches and the media. He is eighth on the Bulldogs with 50 tackles and fourth on the team with 15 quarterback hurries.
"I think John Jenkins has been awesome for Georgia," Richt said. "I'm really proud of everything he's accomplished for us. Just really want to wish him the very best. He's been a blessing to our program."
Nebraska is eighth in the nation in rushing at 254.5 yards per game.
Junior Kwame Geathers will replace Jenkins in the starting lineup. Geathers started four games this season when Jenkins slid over to defensive end.
"It's going to be tough to play without big John," receiver Tavarres King said. "Things happen. Guys will fill voids. Guys have stepped up thus far all across the board. Big Kwame will step up and play his tail off and there won't be a drop-off."
The 6-foot-3, 358-pound Jenkins never took part in any of the on-campus bowl practices. Georgia had listed him as out with a concussion.
Jenkins played two seasons for Georgia, starting every game this season and 20 games total after arriving from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.
Garrison Smith, Cornelius Washington, Ray Drew remain at defensive end.
Richt said Jenkins' loss could be softened if defensive end Abry Jones is able to return. He's missed the past six games following ankle surgery.
"When we left town, we were expecting him to be able to be in position to play," Richt said. "What type of condition he'll be in and how many plays will he be able to play will be another story. It might create more of an opportunity for a guy like Mike Thornton and Ray Drew. ...Sterling Bailey has practiced well so he might get some reps as well."
Jenkins next game will be in the Senior Bowl all-star game next month in Mobile, Ala.
Moving on without Garner
Georgia held its second bowl practice without Rodney Garner on Wednesday night. The defensive line coach was hired by Auburn a week ago.
Richt said hiring Garner's replacement will be "priority one," after the bowl game. He confirmed that instead of moving someone on staff, the hire will be a defensive line coach.
"We'll be excited about who's next," Richt said. "I'm getting bombarded by a lot of people who are very interested in the opportunity. So we won't have any trouble hiring a very quality person where Rodney was."
In the meantime, defensive coordinator Todd Grantham will oversee the defensive line as well as coach the outside linebackers. Grantham coached the defensive line in the NFL for Dallas, Houston and Indianapolis.
"We've got some graduate assistant coaches, too, who can also step in and help us in that regard," Richt said. "The plan is in and most of the work's been done. There are still some things that coach Grantham will have to keep an eye on, maybe a little bit more than when coach Garner was here, but it shouldn't be a problem."
Linebacker Christian Robinson said graduate assistants Mike Kelly and Mike MacDonald are able to free Grantham up to work with the defensive line.
Richt said he has not made a decision on whether he'll name someone as recruiting coordinator, a role that Garner had.
"I don't even know if we'll need to do that," Richt said. "I'll be debating and trying to decide what's in the best interest of everything, but we've got our in-house recruiting team and a lot of those things are going to be taken care of, things that need to get done administratively."
Georgia hired Daryl Jones to a newly created position of director of on-campus recruiting last May.
"Things were already starting to change when we brought Daryl in, and lightening Rodney's load, basically," Richt said. "It is a tough job for a guy to do that full-time and coach."
Richt said special teams aren't likely to factor into the new hire.
"It could, but more than likely not," Richt said.
King on the mend
Receiver Tavarres King, sidelined with a strained hamstring in bowl practices on campus, pronounced himself feeling "good" prior to the team's first Orlando practice. Georgia players ate dinner at the team hotel after arriving.
The team was scheduled to hold a light closed practice Wednesday night at a local high school.
"I got the rest over the break, got my hammy right," King said. "Hopefully I can go out there and do everything I normally do on a practice day."
The team is scheduled to practice again this morning.
"We pretty much have the whole gameplan in right now unless coach (Mike) Bobo changed it over the break," quarterback Aaron Murray said.
This and that
Murray on his NFL decision: "I'm not making any decision or saying anything until after this game and want to sit down with my parents and discuss it from there," he said.
The team will visit Universal Studios Thursday afternoon. Nebraska players are slated to visit Disney World.

Children Destined to Be Obese and Eventually Diabetic Identified by Age 3.5Posted: Sunday, October 09, 2011
A prospective analysis of body mass index (BMI) in 1957 children from ages 5 months to 8 years reveals that an "atypically elevated BMI trajectory" that leads to obesity is identifiable by age 3.5 years.
The study tracked a subset of the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development.
Three groups of weight gain trajectories clearly emerged: low to stable (54.5%), moderate (41%), and high-rising (4.5%). Plotting age against BMI produces a chart in which the first and second curves run parallel to each other on the x-axis, while the high-rising trajectory veers sharply upward at 3.5 years.
In addition to measuring the children's height and weight annually to calculate BMI, the researchers interviewed the primary caregiver parents (98% mothers) about a number of factors that might have influenced their children's pattern of weight gain. These included maternal BMI, breast-feeding, depression, maternal age at the time of the child's birth, immigration status, and socioeconomic factors (mother's level of education, household income, and "family functioning" as assessed on a 10-point rating scale).
The researchers calculated early weight gain as weight at 5 months minus weight at birth divided by 5 months. They used a "semiparametric modeling method from raw BMI values at each age" to derive group-based developmental trajectories.
Two maternal factors were significantly associated with probability of children being in the high-rising group: smoking during pregnancy and high maternal BMI. Adjusted odds ratios were as follows: for smoking, 2.28 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.49 - 4.04); for overweight, 2.38 (95% CI, 1.38 - 4.54); and for obesity, 6.33 (95% CI, 3.82 - 11.85). According to the fetal origins of obesity hypothesis, the lower birth-weight associated with smoking triggers compensatory weight gain in early childhood. The researchers hypothesize that the maternal weight association reflects genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors.
The new study improves upon past investigations by tracking BMI at nine points in time and by considering perinatal factors in setting the stage for future obesity. A limitation of the study is that the identified risk factors "are not necessarily causal of obesity. Rather, they increase one's probability of following a developmental pattern resembling the high-rising trajectory."

San Francisco 49ers Tickets
San Francisco 49ers News: Regular Season and Preseason Updates
See more NFL tickets.
4/24/14: The 49ers have changed their image over the past several weeks. They have moved from a perception of a hard working, team-first franchise to one that has plenty of internal discord and alleged criminals. There have been several reports of a poor relationship between the GM and head coach, and now several players have come under scrutiny of the law. Those players include Colin Kaepernick and Aldon Smith - two of their stars. The Kaepernick investigation seems to have put on hold any discussions of a contract extension, and many believe that Smith will not be back next season.
4/17/14: The 49ers have a sticky situation on their hands as starting QB Colin Kaepernick was named in a Miami police report involving sexual assault. Kaepernick has not been charged, nor has fellow 49er Quinton Patton or Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette. Details of the event are still sparse and the Miami PD says only that Kaepernick is a suspect. According to the police report, the three players and a woman had drinks and drugs were present. The team has said they are aware of the report and Kaepernick insists publicly that the media reports are inaccurate.
4/10/14: It is a good new rule, but is coming too late for 49ers and linebacker NaVorro Bowman. The new rule, just adopted by the NFL, allows for replays of potential turnovers, and is now being referred to as the "Bowman Rule". On the play in the NFC Championship Game, Bowman stripped the ball at the goalline and kept possession, all while tearing his ACL. Seattle should have lost possession of the ball, but the play was not reviewable after a bad call on the field. Seattle, of course, went on to win the game and the Super Bowl. Bowman is expected to be back in the middle of the 2014 season.
4/3/14: The 49ers have been busy in the offseason, adding a few players to their ranks - and that includes offensive lineman Jonathan Martin. Now they have another issue on their hands. Cornerback Chris Culliver was arrested and charged with two felonies. One was for hit and run, the other was for possessing brass knuckles. Culliver, reportedly, hit a bicycle rider and left the scene. When he was blocked in, Culliver threatened a witness, allegedly. The truth about the incident will come out over time, but it does not look good for Culliver at this point in time.
3/27/14: A month ago, the 49ers made headlines when it was discovered that they considered trading head coach Jim Harbaugh to the Cleveland Brown. Then it came out that there is a lot of 'tension' in 49ers camp between Harbaugh and GM Trent Baalke. Then it came out that Harbaugh has not been able to get the extension he wants (even though it is relatively modest). Last week, the team was in the news for trading for QB Blaine Gabbert and offensive lineman Jonathan Martin. Nothing that big this week, as the most notable item is the team giving an extension to fullback Bruce Miller.
3/20/14: San Francisco made some interesting moves during free agency. Obviously, they have a strong organization and it is a desirable place to play, so they can get some free agents over other teams. But they traded a sixth round pick to Jacksonville to get embattled former first round pick Blaine Gabbert, as well as a seventh rounder for offensive lineman Jonathan Martin. Gabbert was drafted too high and never had a chance to develop in Jacksonville, while Martin was the victim in the bullying scandal in Miami. Both should do better with a fresh start and much less pressure on them.
3/13/14: For a team that went to the NFC Championship Game three straight years and made a Super Bowl appearance, the 49ers seem to be in a bit of disarray. There have been several reports as of late about the tension in 49ers Park between head coach Jim Harbaugh and the front office. To date, it has not affected their winning - though it could be an interesting side drama throughout the next season and beyond. Harbaugh says he is not going anywhere and staying in San Francisco. The question is if he will stay as an employee of the San Francisco 49ers or just live in the metropolitan area.
3/6/14: Tensions are apparently mounting in 49ers camp as GM Trent Baalke and head coach Jim Harbaugh are reportedly not seeing eye-to-eye. Harbaugh has proven himself to be one of the best coaches in the league, and former NFL coach John Madden said that the owner should side with him if that is what it comes to. While the tension is now becoming public, it probably started long ago. What it has not affected is the 49ers ability to win, and that ends up being the most important thing. We will see next season if it has any affect on the team.
2/27/14: This is now getting fun. Reports surfaced this week that the Cleveland Browns tried to get the San Francisco 49ers to trade head coach Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh's loyalties apparently lie with the 49ers, who he has coached to three straight NFC Championship Games, and made the Super Bowl in the 2012-13 season. Reports are surfacing about the tension within the organization because of Harbaugh. The 49ers have denied the report and are not answering any questions. Harbaugh will continue to coach the 49ers, but one has to wonder if this event will have any effect on or off the field next season. It is tough to find out that your employer seriously considered getting rid of you and everything being OK right afterward.
2/13/14: 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman has a pretty good resume at this point. San Francisco has made the NFC Championship Game the last three years and went to the Super Bowl just a year ago. Roman has had interest from teams searching for a head coach, but his success may be holding him back. Since the 49ers are typically busy during interview time, he may have been passed over already. That is good news for the 49ers, as he obviously knows what he is doing. He will get his chance, though. It is rare that highly successful coordinators get overlooked forever.
2/6/14: 49'ers fans must hope this is just a blip on the radar, but QB Colin Kaepernick went on air and said that the late time out that head coach Jim Harbaugh called in the Super Bowl a year ago could have cost them the game. The 49ers had planned to run him on third down for the winning TD before Harbaugh called time out and the play was changed. He thinks he would have scored. Of course, Baltimore held strong and won the game. Generally, it is not good to call out the head coach. That being said, Kaepernick is not in danger of losing his job, and what happened, happened.
1/301/14: The 49ers deserve all the praise that is due to them for making the NFC Championship Game for three straight years. Yes, they lost to their new arch rivals (Seattle) this time around, but just getting to the final four is quite a feat. Don't worry, the 49ers will be back soon enough. That is evident by the nine players the team had that were selected to the Pro Bowl. Most, if not all, are skipping the event, but just being invited is a pretty big honor. The NFC West should be great to watch next year, especially since the Rams and Cardinals should be legitimate playoff teams.
1/23/14: The 49ers made the NFC Championship Game for the third straight year, and this time they had the opporutity to face off against their biggest current rival, the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle led the NFC with a 13-3 record in the regular season, while the 49ers were only a game back with a 12-4 record. However, due to the NFL seeding system, they had the number five seed. San Francisco controlled the game for the first half, and looked poised to win and earn the right to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. However, Seattle was a different team in the second half and came back to win. The 49ers, however, are poised for more strong seasons considering the eight pro-bowlers on their roster plus head coach Jim Harbaugh.
1/16/14: It's the game that everyone has been waiting for. Well, at least the third game everyone has been waiting for. The 49ers took care of business in Carolina. They avenged their 10-9 loss from a couple of months ago and completely confused Panthers' QB Cam Newton in the win. That means that San Francisco will head north to Seattle to play the Seahawks for the NFC title. The winner, of course, goes to the Super Bowl in New York (really New Jersey). It also goes to show how strong the NFC West is now. Both teams play there, as do the 10-6 Cardinals, and even the 7-9 Rams.
1/9/14: The 49ers survived both the Green Bay offensive machine and the Wisconsin cold to pull out a 23-20 win in the Wild Card Game last Sunday. QB Colin Kaepernick threw for over 220 yards and ran for around 100 to make the difference in the game. San Francisco moved the ball down the field in the final minutes to set up the game winning field goal - a 33 yarder in sub-zero temperatures by kicker Phil Dawson. The 49ers are moving on to the Divisional Round and will be on the road again. They now head to Carolina in a rematch from earlier in the season (where the Panthers won 10-9 in San Francisco).
1/2/14: You know you are in a tough division when you finish 12-4 and are in second place, while the third place team has 10 wins of their own (and even the fourth place team had seven wins). By finishing second in the NFC West with a record that would have won any other division in the NFC, the 49ers have the fifth seed in the playoffs. They start their run toward the Super Bowl by heading to Green Bay. The 49ers demolished the Packers in Week 1, but this is a different time in a different venue. Kickoff is at 4:40 EST on Sunday.
12/26/13: The 49ers closed out famed Candlestick Park in style last Monday, with a 34-24 win over the struggling Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night. The win improved San Francisco's record to 11-4 and secured a playoff spot. Tramaine Block put an exclamation point on the win with a late pick six that sealed the win and essentially closed the stadium for good. While the 49ers will play in a new stadium next season, they are not done with this one. They have an intense divisional matchup against the Arizona Cardinals (10-5) who are still trying to get into the playoffs.
12/19/13: The 49ers look like they are peaking at the right time and took down the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 33-14 in Tampa for their 10th win of the season. QB Colin Kaepernick just barely surpassed the 200 yard mark in passing, but did throw two touchdown passes and added another 42 yards on the ground. RB Frank Gore had a solid day with 86 yards rushing and a score. And the team continues to get WR Michael Crabtree in the mix as he had 45 yards and his first TD of the season. San Francisco is firmly in control of the first wild card spot at 10-4. They host the 4-10 Atlanta Falcons in the Monday NIght Game this week.
12/12/13: The San Francisco 49ers extracted a measure of revenge on the rival Seattle Seahawks last Sunday, rallying to win 19-17 in the most anticipated game of the weekend. Seattle thrashed the 49ers in the first meeting of the teams, which was in Seattle. The Seahawks have coasted since then and have won 11 games. It has been tougher for San Francisco. The win put them at 9-4 and in position for a wild card spot. Defense carried the day on both sides, as neither QB threw for over 200 yards. In the end, a 49ers field goal won the game.
12/5/13: The 49ers got a good tune-up for Seattle this week when they hosted the St. Louis Rams. The Rams may not be considered an elite team like the Seahawks, but they do feature an incredibly feisty defense and possibly the best pass rush in the league. San Francisco took care of business in the 23-13 win, especially by blowing up a fake punt in the first half. The 49ers have the inside track for a wild card spot in the playoffs, though they do sit behind the Carolina Panthers who beat them a few weeks ago.
11/28/13: The 49ers rebounded nicely from a two game losing streak to bury Washington 27-6 last Monday Night. Colin Kaepernick returned to form, with 235 yards passing and 3 touchdowns. Wide receiver Anquan Boldin was a big difference maker with 94 yards receiving and a pair of TDs. Meanwhile, San Francisco's defense simply stifled Washington's offense all night. It was the first time in RG3's career (including pro and college) that his offense did not have a touchdown. The 49ers have activated WR Michael Crabtree and expect him to play Sunday when the 49ers (7-4) host the Rams (5-6).
11/21/13: The 49ers suffered a costly loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, falling 23-20. The loss drops the team to 6-4 on the season and essentially eliminates their chances of winning the NFC West division. Once again, the San Francisco offense struggled. QB Colin Kaepernick is showing that he is not the dynamic playmaker they thought he was a year ago. He was 17-31 for only 127 yards (with two touchdowns). The team needs much better production from their QB if they are even going to make the playoffs, which are in doubt at this point. They have a chance to rebound on Monday when they head east to play Washington (3-7).
11/14/13: The 49ers took a touch loss from the up and coming Carolina Panthers last Sunday. The Panthers defense has been lauded lately for their fine play and they showed it off in San Francisco in a 10-9 Carolina win. The 49ers offense simply could not move the ball or score as they were limited to about 150 yards and three field goals. Additionally, star tight end Vernon Davis left the game with an injury. San Francisco's offense must figure something out in a hurry as the 49ers (6-3) head down to face the high octane Saints.
11/7/13: The 49ers started out 1-2 and several wondered if this team was having a hangover effect. Then came news that Aldon Smith would be out for a while with substance abuse issues. The team regrouped and has won its last five games. Even more remarkable is that QB Colin Kaepernick has not played particularly well this season. He is missing key receivers Michael Crabtree and Mario Manningham - both of whom should be back in the next few weeks. San Francisco is a game behind the Seahawks and can make that up later in a rematch. In the meantime, they return this week to host the Carolina Panthers.
10/31/13: If you have to go to London, you might as well win. Fortunately for the 49ers, they were matched up with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who were 0-7 going into the game. Many may have thought this would be a gimme game for the 49ers, and they would have been correct. The team built up a 28-3 at halftime and won 42-10. QB Colin Kaepernick only had 164 yards passing for one touchdown, but he, Kendall Hunter, and Frank Gore combined for over 200 yards rushing and a few scores to put this game out of reach. San Francisco is now 6-2 as they head into their bye week.
10/24/13: San Francisco got off to a fast start and built up an insurmountable lead for the Tennessee Titans last Sunday. The 49ers took a 17-0 lead into halftime and added two more touchdowns in the second half to win 31-17. QB Colin Kaepernick was not dazzling, only throwing for 199 yards on 13 of 21 passing (zero touchdowns), but he did not have to be. Frank Gore ran for two scores and 70 yards and the defense was its usual stout self. San Francisco recovered one fumble and took a muffed punt in for a touchdown. The 49ers are now 5-2 and still a game behind the Seahawks. It should be another easy one next week when they travel to London to face winless Jacksonville.
10/17/13: The 49ers hosted the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday and exploited the Cardinals major defensive deficiency - covering the tight end. Vernon Davis had a career best 180 yards receiving and two touchdowns as the 49ers rolled over the Cardinals 32-20. QB Colin Kaepernick was solid with 252 yards in the air and the two TD passes. The win puts the 49ers at 4-2 on the season. They are still looking up at the Seahawks, who also won. San Francisco now travels to Tennessee to face the Titans (3-3), who just lost to the Seahawks, this Sunday.
10/10/13: The 49ers took a step towards getting back into the NFC West playoff chase with an impressive Sunday Night win over the Houston Texans. Collin Kaepernick only threw 113 yards, but that included a 67 yard touchdown pass to tight end Vernon Davis. Frank Gore ran for 81 yards and a score as the 49ers won 34-3. The win put the team at 3-2 on the season and the Seattle loss put them only one game back. San Francisco has a challenging division match this Sunday when the Arizona Cardinals (3-2) make their only trip to San Francisco this season.
10/3/13: San Francisco rebounded from two terrible losses and improved to 2-2 on the season by thrashing the St. Louis Rams on the Thursday Night game. The game was close late in the second quarter before the 49ers scored two late touchdowns. The 49ers defense was impressive, especially against the run. They eliminated St. Louis' running game and forced a lot of bad passes. Frank Gore returned to form with over 100 yards and a TD in the first half alone. That is the defense everyone expected this season. The team returns home in Week 5 to host the 2-2 Houston Texans on Sunday night.
9/26/13: Week 3 is barely in the books and the 49ers do not look anything like the team that represented the NFC in the Super Bowl last February. After getting trounced in Seattle in Week 2, most people thought Week 3, at home, would bring a victory against the Colts. The Colts defense was outstanding on Sunday, limiting San Francisco to seven points and under 300 yards. The loss puts the 49ers at 1-2 on the season, and two games behind the Seahawks. No rest for the weary, though. The 49ers go to St. Louis for the Thursday Night Game against the Rams (1-2).
9/19/13: San Francisco again played in the most anticipated game of the week, this time heading north to arch rival Seattle in a big-time NFC West showdown. Seattle is tremendously difficult to beat at home and was extra motivated for this game. The 49ers, however, were never in the game. The Seahawks blasted San Francisco 29-3 and established themselves as the team to beat in the division. The loss likely did not sit well with coach Harbaugh, so expect a different story this week. The Indianapolis Colts and Andrew Luck head to San Francisco for a late Sunday afternoon game.
9/12/13: The 49ers - Packers game was among the most anticipated game of the weekend and it did not disappoint. The two teams have a long history, including San Francisco eliminating Green Bay from the playoffs last year. It was a back and forth affair until the Packers finally broke through and were able to stop the Green Bay offense. Both are great teams and no one should be surprised if they meet again in the playoffs. San Francisco gets another rivalry game this Sunday night when they travel to Seattle to play the 1-0 Seahawks on national television.
9/4/13: Former 49er's QB Seneca Wallace was released from the team prior to San Francisco's final preseason game against San Diego. Head coach Jim Harbaugh announced that Wallace was retiring. Wallace and his agent dispute that, and say that he just does not want to be with the 49ers. Wallace actually went so far to say that they brought him in so they could force fellow backup QB Colt McCoy to take a pay cut (which he did). However it happened, Wallace is a free agent and the 49ers have moved on. For Wallace's part, he has no hard feelings towards the teams and understands that the NFL is a business.
8/29/13: The 49ers signed journeyman QB Seneca Wallace this past week, a sure sign that the team is not happy with their back up QB situation. Obviously Colin Kaepernick is the starter, but the team has four QBs on the roster behind him. They are reportedly trying to trade Colt McCoy. San Francisco traded a couple of draft picks to Cleveland for him, but will probably release him if there is no trade. The team also shipped off former first round pick A.J. Jenkins to the Chiefs, basically admitting they made a bad pick and need to hit the reset button.
8/22/13: The 49ers defense looks as strong as ever. The team has done a tremendous job over the past several seasons of identifying talent, then developing those players into the best at their position in the entire NFL. The offense looks to be in good hands with Colin Kaepernick at the helm and the ageless Frank Gore getting the tough rushing yards. If there is a concern, it is at wide receiver. Michael Crabtree is likely lost for the season, and 2012 first round pick A.J. Jenkins has not shown that he is capable of playing in the league. The team may be looking for late camp cuts to add a veteran for depth.
8/15/13: The 49ers used a first round pick in 2012 on wide receiver A.J. Jenkins. That did not pan out well for them so far. He appeared in just a handful of regular season and post-season games, but did not register a single catch. It did not matter much then, but he could matter this season considering that leading WR Michael Crabtree is out for at least most of the season with a torn Achilles tendon. Jenkins finally caught a pass in the first preseason game, but then fumbled it. Even though he is still very young, this may be a make or break year for Jenkins, as he has to win the confidence of the coaching staff and the QB.
8/8/13: The team may not admit it, but they are trying to find a replacement for wide receiver Michael Crabtree. Crabtree tore his Achilles tendon a few weeks ago and is out for the majority (if not all) of the 2013 season. Newly acquired WR Anquan Boldin is now expected to be the number one WR, but he is a possession guy that does not offer the same burst as Crabtree. The 49ers signed Austin Collie to help out, but he is known as a slot receiver and has a history of concussions.It appears time for tight end Vernon Davis to step up an solidify the receiving corps.
8/1/13: The 49ers' made an interesting, and probably smart, decision by bringing in Eric Mangini as an offensive consultant for this season. Mangini is known as a defensive guy, but the theory is that a defensive guy can understand defenses and help out the offense. San Francisco defensive coordinator Vic Fangio did some similar work with the Ravens a few years ago and believes that using defensive strategist helps the offense because they can understand the schemes that offenses are using. In a tight NFC West, this may be the difference between playoffs and going home early.
7/25/13: It will be fun to watch the fans and players between the 49ers and the Seahawks sling mud at each other over the next few weeks. 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh slammed PED use by NFL players - obviously throwing a shot at the Seahawks a few weeks ago. By doing so, he assumed a holier than thou persona. Yet the 49ers just traded for Eric Wright from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Wright was arrested on July 12 for suspicion of DUI. The 49ers knew of the arrest, but made the trade anyway. Again, it will be fun to watch the Seahawks and their fans attack this move.
7/18/13: A big question this coming season is if the 49ers can repeat their second half. Its simply fact that the team was tremendously successful after Colin Kaepernick took over for Alex Smith at QB. At the time, no one had seen him and they did not have a good gameplan for him (looking at you, Green Bay). But seven months later and things are different. Defensive coordinators have been studying and will have an answer. But Kaepernick is a great talent, and that alone may be too much for defenses to stop consistently in the coming season.
7/11/13: Starting QB Colin Kaepernick caused quite a stir among 49ers fans when a photograph of him in a Miami Dolphins hat was made public. Several fans considered it disloyal and wrong. Kaepernick responded by defending himself and the hat - and that only made the 'controversy' continue on. Kaepernick should have said nothing and let the story die. Actually, he should have never worn the hat - a grievous lack of common sense. His coach, Jim Harbaugh, famously refused to answer questions from a reporter who showed up to the San Diego Chargers facility (when JH was on the Chargers) wearing (ironically enough) a 49ers shirt back in 2000.
7/4/13: The 49ers know they have to do something to replace the prodcution from wide receiver Michael Crabtree. Crabtree is out for most, if not all of the season, with a torn Achilles tendon. The team signed Ricardo Lockette in the offseason after the rival Seahawks cut him. Lockette and QB Colin Kaepernick are close friends. They met at the Combine in 2011 and hit it off. Kaep went to the 49ers but Lockette was undrafted. He signed with the Seahawks last offseason. Lockette is hoping to prove that he can step in and play in the league - if he can, it is just another 49ers success with personnel, and a bit of a shot to Seattle.
6/27/2013: If nothing else, the 49ers ongoing rivalry and fued with the Seattle Seahawks is entertaining. A few weeks ago, Seahawks QB Russell Wilson threw out the first pitch at a Mariners baseball game. It was reported that he threw in the high 90's, though the radar gun (apparently) only registered 75. Last week, 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick threw out a pitch at a reportedly legitimate 87 mph. Kaepernick played baseball in college, so that number is believable. What is fun, though, is watching these two teams try to one-up each other at every possible turn. Just wait till December when the Rams win the division.
6/20/13: The NFC West is a completely revitalized division. San Francisco and Seattle are expected to compete for the the top two spots, but St. Louis and Arizona should not be overlooked. However, the media focus is on the the the two northwestern teams, so any comment is likely to get blown out of proportion. 49ers' head coach Jim Harbaugh made a comment this past week to the effect that anyone who cheats has already lost. This is being interpreted as a shot at the Seahawks, who have had six players suspended for PED use since Pete Carroll was hired as head coach.
6/13/13: Since the start of the Tom Brady era in New England, the Patriots have been considered the gold standard on how to run a pro football organization. The Pats are competitive every year, draft well, and do not waste big money of aging free agents. Some now think that San Francisco is claiming that crown. Consider, 70% of their roster for the Super Bowl are players they drafted and developed since 2007. They have made lower draft picks, like Dashon Golden (now with Tampa Bay) all-pros, but managed cap space well when they became too expensive. If there is a weakness this year, it is in the receiving corps, especially since Michael Crabtree is out at least six months with a torn Achilles tendon. However, they still have talent everywhere and should be in the conversation for Super Bowl contenders.
6/6/13: San Francisco head coach Jim Harbaugh brough in another football mind to help the team. This time it is former Jets and Browns head coach Eric Mangini. Mangini has spent the past couple of years as a football analyst on national TV. He joins the 49ers as an offensive consultant. The odd thing is that Mangini's background is on defense. Perhaps Harbaugh is looking at Mangini to help decipher defenses and train QB Colin Kaepernick and the offensive line on what they should be looking for. In any case, the 'Man-Genius" is back on the coaching side of things as opposed to being in a studio with the comfort of having no pressure to perform.
5/30/13: San Francisco is looking to get back to the Super Bowl this season, and has been amassing more weapons for their already deep arsenal for the past few months. They had the luxury of trading for Anquan Boldin as another wide receiver. Now he is a necessity. 49ers number one WR, Michael Crabtree, is out for six months, and perhaps the entire 2013 season, since he tore his Achilles tendon. Seattle is also suffering, from both injuries and suspensions. All of a sudden, the Rams and Cardinals look a better - making the NFC West the best division in all of the NFL.
5/23/13: San Francisco was awarded the honor of hosting Super Bowl L (that is Super Bowl 50 for those of us who are not Roman). The 2016 game will be played in the new Levis Stadium, which has yet to be built - or at least completed. San Francisco was essentially the default winner after the Florida legislature did not bring a bill to renovate Dolphins Stadium in Miami to a vote in the last session. But this basically follows the NFL's protocol of build a new stadium and get a Super Bowl. San Francisco is a new territory for the big game, and considering the talent and youth on the 49ers, they may have a shot to play at home for the championship.
5/16/13: Historically, college coaches have not had much success in the NFL. Sure, Jimmy Johnson is the exception to the rule, but most (Dennis Erickson, Steve Spurrier, Lou Holtz) failed in their times as the the leader of NFL players. Jim Harbaugh seems to have found magic though. After leading the 49ers to the Super Bowl, it seems like everyone wants to play for him. Indeed, the 49ers have very few holes to fill and should be considered a favorite for the championship. But the team could use some depth at center, and even another receiver - there is no way Kaepernick can run as wild as he did last season.
5/9/13: Now San Francisco QB Colin Kaepernick can be considered a star. He has gotten his first major endorsements. The second year sensation wrapped up deals with MusclePharm, MoGo Sport, and most importantly, Jaguar. Jaguar may be an odd match, considering the amount of ink on Kaepernick's skin, but the legendary auto company is betting that his rocket-like ascention into fame will bring in buyers. He is endorsing a new $92,000 convertable with 495 horsepower engine and a top speed of 186 mph. Kaepernick is still playing under his rookie contract, but surely his next contract will give him the means to afford one of these machines.
5/2/13: San Francisco had all sorts of draft picks to play with as well as depth across the board. That is a tremendous luxury for any team, but it only makes the reigning NFC Champs more potent for the next several years. The 49ers selected LSU free safety Eric Reid with their first pick (No. 18), then took one of Florida State's three star defensive linemen with Tank Carridine early in the second round. The biggest news, however, was taking South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore in the fifth round. Lattimore is the most talented runner out there, but had two devastating knee injuries and will not be healthy for another year or so.
4/25/13: It seems like everyone wants to play for San Francisco these days. After making it to the Super Bowl and finding their franchise quarterback on the bench and having one of the best defenses in the league and having a coach that everyone loves - well it is easy to see why players are falling all over themselves to get to the bay. And the rich keep getting richer. The 49ers have 11 picks in the draft - they may have too many to use this year. Don't be surprised if the team packages some picks to move up collect more for next season.
4/18/13: It seems like everyone wants to play in San Francisco these days, and for good reason. Jim Harbaugh is considered one of the best coaches in the league. They have a fantastic and punishing defense. And the team is led by young phenom Colin Kaepernick at QB. Wide receiver is a position they have lacked, though Michael Crabtree is developing and the 49ers acquired Anquan Boldin from the Ravens in the offseason. This team does not have many holes to fill, but they may make a move to acquire another wide out in the draft next week.
4/11/13: The arms race is alive and well in the NFC West. Most experts agree that it is two horse race between the 49ers and the Seahawks. Both have brought in talented veterans to solidify their teams - though some people may wonder if they are both pulling 'an Eagles' from 2011. To combat Seattle's trade for wide receiver Percy Harvin, San Francisco brought in cornerback Nnamdi Asoughma. Seattle traded away backup QB Matt Flynn and cleared up cap space, but the 49ers have loads of picks. In any case, it is fun to watch these two teams try to outdo each other.
4/4/13: As fans, we see the hard hits and watch professional football players bounce back up without a problem. We have recently discovered the effects of concussions and head trauma, but can never know what actually goes on. 49ers wide receiver Machael Crabtree spoke about losing his vision temporarily after taking a hard hit late in the Super Bowl. No call was made on the play, and Crabtree regained sight before the next play. However, this could be a wake up call to receivers everywhere that head trauma can affect you in ways beyond just a concussion.
3/28/13: The 49ers are looking for a backup quarterback for starter Colin Kaepernick. The move became needed once the team traded Alex Smith to the Chiefs for the first pick in the second round - after claiming for weeks that they wanted nothing more than to keep Smith. San Francisco is bringing in former Miami Dolphins backup QB Pat White. White had a tremendous college career at West Virginia, but has not been able to last anywhere in the NFL. He could be a nice compliment to Kaepernick, as they both have similar skill sets and can run the same offense.
3/21/13: San Francisco apparently pulled a little rivalry coup by signing former Rams safety Craig Dahl. Dahl spent four years in St. Louis and made 40 starts. But for those 49ers fans who think they are weakening a division rival - a rival they went 0-1-1 against last season - they may have another thing coming. The Rams made a cursory offer to keep Dahl, but it is quite clear the coaching staff and fans had seen enough. Dahl was constantly blamed for coverage lapses in the secondary, particularly in long plays. In fact, many in St. Louis are happy he went to San Francisco, insisting they got weaker by taking him. Time will tell who is correct in this debate.
It's official! the 49ers are in the Super Bowl. Get your 49ers super bowl tickets with us here at SeatGeek and read more about Super Bowl 2013 tickets over on the SeatGeek Blog.
3/14/13: San Francisco has had an un and down free agency and offseason. The team lost Dashon Golston to Tampa Bay after the player and team could not reach a long term agreement. San Francisco also lost backup tight end Delanie Walker, who really did not see the field much playing behind Vernon Davis. The 49ers did trade for wide receiver Anquan Boldin from the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens wanted Boldin to take a pay cut, but he refused, so they traded him away. The team will have Kansas City's second round pick from the Alex Smith trade.
3/7/13: The San Francisco team that made it to the Super Bowl will return largely in tact next season. Former starting quarterback - turned backup - Alex Smith was traded to Kansas City in exchange for high draft picks last week. Now comes word that the 49ers will not resign wide receiver Randy Moss, who Tweeted his thanks to the organization. The team will also likely release kicker David Akers who struggled last year. Akers hit only 69% of his field goals and was set to count $3.6 million against the salary cap in the upcoming season.
2/28/13: San Francisco has repeatedly followed the company line that Alex Smith has a place on the roster next year. Assuming the 49ers have the cap space to pay their back up quarterback 5x as much as their starter, then it does make sense to keep him at least another year. But now comes word that San Francisco have traded Smith to the Chiefs for a second round pick. teams about a trade. No trade be official until March 12, but it looks like Smith will be following Joe Montana's footsteps and assuming the QB role in Kansas City.
2/21/13: The jury is still out on what to do with Alex Smith next season. The San Francisco front office has said that there is certainly a place for Smith on the team. However, it is no secret that Smith wants to be the starting quarterback. That will not happen again in San Francisco, as the job is securely in Colin Kaepernick's hands after leading the team to the Super Bowl. This is a good time for Smith to get moved. Several teams like Kansas City, Arizona, Oakland, New York Jets, and others desperately need a QB, so there is a good chance that the 49ers are only posturing in preparation for trading Smith before the draft.
2/14/13: The NFL is surely happy to have the 49ers back in the competitive mix. After years of mediocrity following the firing of head coach Steve Mariucci, the team finally came full circle. The coaching hires were questionable until Jim Harbaugh - Dennis Erickson, Mike Nolan, and Mike Singletary come to mind. But the 49ers finally got it right and built a fine defense. The big difference this year, of course, was promoting Colin Kaepernick to the starting QB job midway through the season. Now San Francisco must decide what to do with Alex Smith - either pay him big money to be a backup, trade him, or cut him altogether.
2/7/13: San Francisco lost their first Super Bowl game in six attempts, falling 34-31 to the Baltimore Ravens. The 49ers seemed lost in the first half, mustering only two field goals and applying very little pressure on the Ravens. They fell behind 28-6 early in the third quarter when the power in half of the Super Dome failed. The power outage delayed the game by 35 minutes and stole the momentum away from Baltimore. San Francisco stormed back and made the game very interesting, with three touchdowns and a field goal. But the Ravens were able to hang on and preserve the win, making Jim Harbaugh the first Harbaugh to lose a Super Bowl.
1/31/13: The 49er's went to New Orleans on Saturday, a day before the Ravens. Some analysts speculate that this will give them an advantage because they will have a Saturday night to get the local festivities out of their system. However, Super Bowl week is filled with parties and gatherings all week, so it is unlikely that the extra day will have any effect. San Francisco is favored by 4.5 points, and favorites have a pretty good historical winning percentage. It should be an excellent matchup, with two strong defenses and one traditional pocket passer facing off against a modern athletic quarterback.
1/24/12: San Francisco is heading to their sixth Super Bowl and their first one since 1994. The 49ers have won all five of their previous trips, though those were earned during the Joe Montana and Steve Young glory days. San Francisco earned their trip by heading to Atlanta and defeating the host Falcons 28-24. The Falcons jumped out to a 17 point lead at one point, and had complete control of the game until the 49ers realized they could throw to Vernon Davis at will. Davis had been forgotten when Colin Kaepernick was named the starting quarterback, but was the obvious and open target in Sunday's game.
1/17/13: Any questions about head coach John Harbaugh's mid-season decision to promote backup QB Colin Kaepernick to the starter's role have now been answered. The 49ers made it to the NFC Championship Game last season with Alex Smith, who was having a decent year until he suffered a concussion. In came Kaepernick for good, who accounted for almost 450 yards and four touchdowns in the 49ers 45-31 win over Green Bay in the Divisional Round. The 49ers now have to head the east coast, to face the NFC's number one seed, Atlanta. The Falcons defeated the Seahawks with a field goal with 8 seconds left to win 30-28.
1/10/13: Some of the finest NFC playoffs games featured the Packers and 49ers. The legacies of both Brett Favre and Terrell Owens were forged in these classic matchups in the 1990's. Now, some 15 plus years later, stars like Aaron Rodgers and Aldon Smith have their chance to join the great ones. Green Bay visits San Francisco in the Divisional Round this weekend in a game pitting the best offense against the best defense. The loser is done for the season, but the winner moves on to the NFC Championship Game, and a chance to make this season's Super Bowl.
1/3/13: The 49ers coasted through their final game, but fortunately it was against the hapless Arizona Cardinals so they still won easily. San Francisco only led 7-6 at halftime, but posted another 20 in the second half to put the game out of reach. The win locked up the NFC West crown and gave the team the number two seed in the playoffs. With the second position, San Francisco has earned a bye this week and will host at least one game. The team could use a week to rest up and prepare for their next test.
12/27/12: The 49ers completely owned the Patriots in the first half in Week 15, holding on for a huge win in New England. But they did not have anything left for the soaring Seattle Seahawks in Week 16, suffering a humiliating 42-13 drubbing in Seattle. The win puts the Seahawks in the playoffs. QB Colin Kaepernick threw for 244 yards, 1 TD and 1 pick, but the 49ers could not get into the endzone. San Francisco has not yet locked up the NFC West, but will do so with a victory at home against the hapless Arizona Cardinals or a Seattle loss to St. Louis in Week 17.
12/20/12: San Francisco answered any remaining questions last Sunday, by going into New England and coming out with a 41-31 victory. The 49ers built up a 31-7 lead by the end of the third quarter - demonstrating that this team can score points. But they almost let it slip away in the fourth quarter when Tom Brady led the Pats to 24 points. San Francisco added 10 of their own and was able to hold on. In doing so, San Francisco clinched the NFC West crown again and showed they are ready for the playoffs. Next up, is a road game in Seattle.
12/13/12: While the St. Louis Rams may have the 49ers number, there were no such hiccups this past week against the Dolphins. The 49ers led 6-3 at the half, but really put on the running game in the second half to finish the day with a 27-13 victory. All three second half touchdowns were on the ground, including quarterback Colin Kaepernick's 50 yard scoring run. San Francisco is now 8-3-1 on the season and leads the NFC West. But SF must travel back east to New England and face the red hot New England Patriots on a surely cold Sunday Night Game.
12/6/12: There are some teams that just have your number. For the 49ers, it is the St. Louis Rams. Just three weeks after playing to a rare tie in San Francisco, the 49ers went to the Midwest to prove that game was just a fluke. But Colin Kaepernick could not repeat his magic as the Rams defense kept the game just within reach, including a fumble recovery for the Rams' only touchdown. St. Louis tied the score as time expired on a 53 yard field goal, then won in overtime with a 54 yarder. San Francisco still leads the NFC West by 1.5 games over Seattle, but is discovering that the division is much tougher than in the past. Next up: Home against the Dolphins on Sunday.
10/1/12: The 49ers did it the old fashioned way this past week, using a strong run game and a smothering defense to defeat the New York Jets 34-0. The 49ers ran for 245 yards on 44 carries, with three touchdowns. Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter and Colin Kaepernick ran for scores. The New York Jets could not get anything going against one of the top defenses in the league. The defense also scored a touchdown on a Carlos Rogers 51 yard fumble return. Rogers scooped up the ball after Jets? receiver Santonio Holmes fumbled the ball and went down with an injury. The 49ers forced three Jets fumbles including Holmes?s. 49ers middle linebacker Patrick Willis also picked off Jets? quarterback Mark Sanchez. The San Francisco special teams also got in on the action and blocked a Jets punt. San Francisco improves to 3-1 on the year and the Jets go to 2-2.
4/12/12 The San Francisco 49ers fell heartbreakingly short of a Super Bowl appearance in 2011, coming within one Kyle Williams fumble and overtime field goal of representing the NFC in Super Bowl XLVI. With free agent acquisitions like wide receiver Mario Manningham and running back Brandon Jacobs, the 49ers have pillaged the rival Giants and have given Alex Smith some new weapons to work with as the Niners look to return to the playoffs in 2012 bigger and better, for another shot at making their first Super Bowl appearance since the 1994 season when Steve Young and Jerry Rice still ruled the NFL.
San Francisco 49ers Tickets - Team History
Established in 1946, the San Francisco 49ers are the only team in the NFL to have won more than one Super bowl without losing any. Their five titles puts them behind only the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have six. Recently, however, the Niners have gone 9 years without a playoff appearance. Somehow, the jury's still out on Alex Smith, who at times has looked like a winner and others has looked like a bust. Despite their QB tumult, the 49ers are a division favorite in the NFC West in 2011.
San Francisco 49ers Tickets - 2011 Season Preview
Like so many other teams, the success of the 49ers depends largely on their success or failure at the quarterback position. Troy Smith will battle Alex Smith for the starting job, with second-rounder Colin Kapernick lurking if either falters too drastically. Frank Gore, if healthy, is about as solid as they come in the backfield. Michael Crabtree may not be the receiver fans envisioned when he was drafted, but he's shaping into a poor man's Larry Fitzgerald and is well above average at his position. Vernon Davis had a monster 2009 and, save the amount of touchdowns, was nearly as good in 2010. One of the true freaks in a league filled with them, Davis is a new breed of tight end and a nightmare for opposing defenses. Let's hope Patrick Willis' new role as Kenny Powers' wingman at KSwiss doesn't detract from his skill set on the field. Something tells me it won't. Takeo Spikes and his inhumanly thick neck are still going strong at 34, and those two linebackers represent a defense that can be the most dominating in the NFC West. A coaching change to Jim Harbaugh, who spent 14 years as a quarterback in the NFL and coached Stanford for 4 years has fans thinking Andrew Luck in 2012. With or without Luck, however, having Harbaugh instead of defensive-minded Mike Singletary will be an invaluable resource for Kapernick and the Smiths.
San Francisco 49ers Tickets - 2011 Schedule
The Niners open with back to back games at Candlestick Park, one of the NFL's most storied arenas. Seattle and Dallas will not be walkthroughs, but it could be worse than home and home to start the year. Their out of conference games are tough but not brutal, including Cleveland, Cincinnati, Washington, and Detroit. It would be surprising if the 49ers are not playing meaningful games in December this year.
San Francisco 49ers - The Players
The 49ers were happy to re-sign Alex Smith who has improved since being drafted 7 years ago. He is hoping to get more of a chance to throw the ball and maybe can take some of the weight off the back of Frank Gore who has been an absolute animal in past seasons. Michael Crabtree is surrounded by a lot of height but still hasn't shown any promise as a pro bowl receiver. The defense hasn't improved and hasn't made many impressive moves during the off season. This franchise looks to rebuild. With a hall of fame pedigree including Steve Young, Joe Montana and Jerry Rice players for this organization have a lot to live up too.
