The Monday Night Game between the Cardinals and 49ers will go far in determining the eventual NFC West winner. Both teams are healthy for the most part, but the Cardinals have so many players banged up, that they will be in trouble if any injuries pop up in the course of the game. The biggest concern for Arizona will be the health of their quarterback who comes into the game already nicked up, and with an offensive line that has allowed the most in the NFL in sacks.
The Monday Night Game could be a hard fought game coming down to execution and which team makes the first big play, or can turn into a blowout. The Cardinals will hope that thier defense can keep them close enough for Larry Fitzgerald to make an impact, while the 49ers look to continue their winning ways and take control of the division.
The San Francisco 49ers defense has been the face of the team, and most of the attention has gone to the front seven. However, the secondary is a key reason they have the top-rated defense in the league.
Division rivals need no reason to dislike each other, and the 49ers and Seahawks have added fuel to the fire. After the teams recent match-up, 49ers head coach Jim Harbuagh questioned some of the play in the Seattle secondary that may have been overly physical, and this resulted in a war of words between the two teams. However, the end result will only help out San Francisco.
In a sport that puts so much focus on winning and losing, Chris Culliver of the San Francisco 49ers is not the norm. The young cornerback as been close to death, is just happy to be alive, and has learned to cherish each day. He has made his presence felt on the field and embodies the ideals that the team looks for in its players.
In two short years, the NFC West has gone from the worst division in the NFL to one of the best. All the teams have raced out to a hot start this season, and if the 49ers hope to win the division they will have to be at the top of their game. With the 49ers and Cardinals facing each other next Monday, San Francisco will either have control of the division or be in for a fight.
The 49ers will be rooting for the Vikings and Packers this weekend to help San Francisco stay alone at the top of the NFC West. The 49ers have played both teams this year and will find themselves rooting for them this week. With San Francisco looking to pad their division lead, and with tough games on their horizon the Cardinals and Rams need to win Sunday to keep up.
After another impressive performance for the 49ers, Frank Gore is slowly becoming on the best all around backs to ever grace the 49ers uniform. The ultimate goal has eluded him, but if the team can get him the ball early and often, they will be in a position to compete for a Super Bowl.
The Thursday Night Game featured two of the NFC West's top teams, with the San Francisco 49ers earning the win. It should be no surprise that the man leading the way was Frank Gore, helped by another stellar performance by the 49ers defense.
With both teams more or less at full strength, the Thursday Night Game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks will be competitive to say the least. Both teams have a lot to prove and, outside of a few pieces, both will have their full rosters at their disposal.
The Thursday Night Game between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks has become an important division game for both teams. The 49ers are looking to prevent a losing streak, and the Seahawks are trying to prove that they are a threat this year. The key will be stopping Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch, who returns home to try and lead his team to a big win.
The New York Giants just put the rest of the NFC on notice. After dismantling the 49ers, who many believed to be the most complete team in the NFL, the Giants are back to the form that earned them a Super Bowl win last year. However, San Francisco can point to missed chances to at least keep the game close.
