The 49ers repeated as NFC West champs Sunday by whisking aside the crumbling Arizona Cardinals 27-13. Rather than celebrate, the team adjourned to the locker room and did what fans do — anxiously watched the TV end game between Green…

Last year, the 49ers split their first two games and then embarked on an improbable eight game winning streak. This year, the team has been unable to win so much as three games in a row. Beginning Sunday, they’ll have…
The 49ers crushed the Arizona Cardinals 24-3 on Monday night, sending the team and its fans into the Bye week on a very happy note. As they say in the Life Duhs Anonymous meetings, two weeks of savoring always trumps…
Three years and one universe ago, Kurt Warner was the Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback, they were the reigning NFC West champions who had been narrowly defeated in the 2008 Super Bowl, Shaun Hill was the 49ers’ QB, Mike Singletary was beginning…
The 49ers zoomed into sole possesion of first place in the NFC West Sunday by lounging pool side while watching Arizona get stuffed by Minnesota. Next Monday night, the team will get to stuff Arizona themselves. Meanwhile, Seattle CB Richard…
The San Francisco 49ers opened the game by forcing a Detroit 3 and out punt, then rolled down the field in four plays for a touchdown, and it looked like the game would be a rout. From that time on,…
Ah, a real game. That was fun. I’d have been happy to see either team lose, and unhappy to see either team win. But the Giants have the first loss of the 2012 season and I’ll leave it to the…
Thanks in large part to the resurgent 49ers, the NFC West lost its distinction last year as the worst Division in the NFL. Thanks in large part to the catastrophic collapse of the Colts, the AFC South assumed that dunce…
Christmas is coming, so I thought I’d mention it. Back to football. The loss to Arizona was disheartening and unneccesary, but shit happens. Ultimately, the 49ers are going to start the playoffs at home, whether that’s in the first round…
It’s been a magical season for the 49ers. And for the fans. But Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals all but ended any delusions of making a Super Bowl run this year. That journey now would require a ticket from the…
The newly crowned 2011 NFC West Division champion San Francisco 49ers will be jaunting down to Phoenix this weekend to wipe the two game winning streak off the faces of the Arizona Cardinals. Since having their hides peeled at Candlestick…
The Arizona Cardinals splattered against the San Francisco 49ers’ windshield Sunday and were scraped off the field with their guts squashed out all over the place. Get the Windex, please. And call the entomology coroner. The 49ers played Sunday’s game…
The 49er bar was set pretty low when the 2011 season began. For the past few years, the goal was simply to win the NFC West. To draft and recruit players who could beat Seattle, Arizona, and St. Louis. To…
At the mid point of the 2011 NFL season, the 49ers have turned the NFC West race into a laugher. A division infamous for nail-biting, down to the wire drama among dog-poo teams abruptly has no drama whatsoever and half…
Okay, back to reality. There’s eleven more games to play this season. The injury to Josh Morgan is a pointed reminder how quickly sweet can turn sour in the NFL. Still, looking at the QB rankings after five weeks of…
When the season began, 49er fans had fairly low expectations for the team’s success this year. The focus was mainly on seeing an improved offense and a team that looked better and better as the year played out. St. Louis…
The 49ers have not compiled a 4-1 record to start a season since 2002. It took three straight wins to compile that 2002 record and it will take the same to achieve it now. 2002 was the last year the…
The Arizona Cardinals resoundingly laid claim to being the worse team in the NFL Monday night, letting the inept San Francisco 49ers grind them into the sand for four straight quarters of toad ugly football. Well, ugly for us Card…
Last week’s effort to focus on what might go wrong this coming season was a drag. I mean, anything can go wrong. What’s the point in worrying about it now? I am not going to finish this meal. Here, dog,…
