Ok.Enough already. I've been hearing for over 24 hours how great Kaepernick's throw was to Michael Crabtree.
The 49ers will be without the face of the defense for the stretch run after news broke Tuesday that linebacker Patrick Willis will not play another snap for the 49ers this season.
The 49ers go on the road for the second straight week, but this time the opponent should not be quite as difficult. If they can play as well as they did a week ago the 49ers will beat the Giants this week and keep their winning streak intact.
San Francisco 49er defensive lineman Ray McDonald won't face charges related to a domestic violence arrest in his San Jose home earlier this year.
San Francisco 49er Quarterback Colin Kaepernick has apparently heard enough from critics, and he took to Instagram minutes after the 49ers pulled out an overtime win in New Orleans to salvage their playoff chances for the 2014 campaign.
The 49ers knew that this week was going to be a tough test. The Saints were on a roll and at home, but San Francisco played well in all phases and survived an overtime thriller.
This wasn't a pretty game from San Francisco's perspective. But in the face of desperation, beauty is only skin deep.
Colin Kaepernick completed a 51-yard pass on 4th down to sustain a game-tying drive and Phil Dawson kicked a 35-yard field goal to cap San Francisco's stirring 27-24 victory.
10 weeks into the season and the Saints and 49ers are relatively healthy. Both are dealing with injuries and could miss some players, but all in all will be full strength. The only real question for the 49ers is if Patrick Willis will play.
Two NFL teams with 4-4 records, the 49ers and the Saints, meet in New Orleans Sunday.
The walk to the Superdome is something I've always enjoyed about New Orleans. Forget the car, don't hail a cab, I'll walk the walk.
It's been a rough week for the 49ers: the team fell to 4-4 after a crushing defeat to the Rams, the rumors of Jim Harbaugh leaving persist, and now they've lost once-promising prospect Marcus Lattimore for good due to ongoing knee trouble. It appears Las Vegas bookies have taken note of the dark clouds currently circling Santa Clara, and they've made the three-time NFC Title Game contender a long shot to hoist the Lombardi Trophy this year.
49ers legend Jerry Rice and others have recently said they think Jim Harbaugh's tenure with the 49ers will be over at season's end, no matter how far the team goes. Where will he find his next gig? If the voters of Michigan have anything to say about it, the former University of Michigan quarterback will be taking up residence in the statehouse.
There is no reason for the 49ers to panic despite their 4-4 record. There is a big difference between 5-4 and 4-5 so a win this week should silence the panic talks. A loss though will certainly warrant a raise in concern.
