The Schedule Gets Harder (Niner Insider )

Posted November 17, 2008 at 8:22 pm

Can Mike Singletary conduct a non-eventful press gathering? Today the answer is a resounding yes. Singletary’s comments were relatively short after recording his first win of his head-coaching career on Sunday after beating the Rams 35-16.

So, BigBlueShoe, our Colts blogger, put together a ballot for the midseason studs and duds to date. Unfortunately I failed to get my vote in in time. However, I thought I’d post the results, and also throw out some of my own thoughts on studs and duds. I encourage everyone else to let us know your thoughts.

Smith Will Be Back Next Season, There I Said It (49ersnews.com)

Posted November 5, 2008 at 9:26 am

Talk around Ninerland is what will the 49ers do at the quarterback position next season. They will most likely draft a QB sometime in the draft, but I’m going to go out on a limb right now and say that Alex Smith will be a 49er next season and he most likely will be the starting QB.

Posted November 4, 2008 at 12:11 pm

Could this man actually be a 49er in 2009?  Since Alex Smith first was put on injured reserve, heck since J.T. O’Sullivan first started getting snaps with the #1 offense in training camp, the question has been when, not if, Alex Smith would end up somewhere else in 2009.

It could always be worse; we could be the Raiders…right? (Niners Nation)

A bye week is certainly useful for rejuvenating the team.  However, it can also be rejuvenating for the fans.  For 49ers fans, it’s been a rough season so far and an opportunity to recharge the batteries has to be a good thing.  We were able to watch all sorts of football with no real rooting interests (aside from fantasy football and the prediction contest).

One has to feel bad for newly hired San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary as he basically had to inherit the team that fired coach Mike Nolan left behind.
