Niner Noise - A San Francisco 49ers Blog

Now that the season is over and the 49ers came up just a tad
short of the Super Bowl I have been amazed at some of the actions of 49er fans
and the media. I for one was sorely disappointed with the loss this past
weekend but to get that far this season was truly amazing. This is the first
year in the last three that I did not feel the 49ers would win the division. In
seasons past I felt we had the talent to win the west and was often teased with
end of season win streaks or close loses that could have gone for us with a
play here or there. Coming into this season I felt we would compete but the
other teams had bolstered their rosters better than the 49ers that brought in a
new coach with no chance to prepare his team for the upcoming season. This season
was remarkable in many ways and should be looked at for how truly spectacular
it was. It’s the Joy in the photo above that 49er fans experienced this season and we will look forward to.

Cary Edmondson-US PRESSWIRE

All 49ers fans will agree the team needs a new stadium, badly.  Whenever that new stadium comes to fruition Candlestick will be demolished but the historic games at the ‘Stick will always be remember in 49ers history.  Plenty of special moments and exciting playoff games have occurred at the stadium by the bay.  But the four recent home playoff games from 1998-2012 for the San Francisco 49ers will always be remembered as a stretch of history with heart stopping finishes.

For 49ers fans news of the Colts hiring a new head coach is not on our radar.  Specials teams/assistant coach Brad Seely was to interview on Wednesday for the Colts vacant head coaching job, however, with the team hiring Chuck Pagano, we have reason to cheer.  With only one head coaching vacancy left in the NFL, Tampa Bay, it looks as if Seely will be back with the 49ers next season.

check out the death stare Crabtree is giving Kyle Williams

We can all dwell on a NFC Championship game overtime loss all the way up to training camp, but our front office has plenty of work to do. There were a few things that were evident in the loss to the Giants that will need to be mended to before the start of next season.  The biggest issue was the receiving core, or lack thereof, in fact did we ever put one on the field?

The receiving core didn’t have their best game, in fact 1 catch for 3 yards. There was no separation, nowhere to go with the ball, and QB Alex Smith looked like a man with no faith. We spent a top ten draft pick on WR Michael Crabtree, but it doesn’t seem to be working out. The former Texas Tech standout was the leading WR this year, but only had 874 yards and 4 touchdowns. Part of that has to do with the offensive scheme, but another part of that is there is no other target on the outside to spread the field. The passes this season only went to 2 men this year, Crabtree and TE Vernon Davis, past that no one had more than 20 catches. Continue reading this post »

Go away Kyle Williams

Niner faithful it has taken me four full days to address you after that disgusting loss by Kyle Williams.  I told myself after a day or so that the anger and utter disappointment would fade.  It hasn’t, not even a little bit.  It’s all because of you Kyle.  I applaud the 49er players for coming to your side and not blaming just one person.  That’s what teammates do, they support one another.  It’s one of the reasons this team is special, we are together.  One more time “Who’s got it better than us?” “NOBODY!”.   But I’m not your teammate Kyle, I’m giving it to you straight, you blew it for all of us.  And no, I’m not one of the Twitter freaks that wanted you dead.  That’s insane, I do however want you cut from my team.

For those of you that are choosing to support Kyle, fans and writers alike.  I also applaud you, your taking the big boy/girl approach.  Whatever, let’s look at the facts, it’s Kyle’s fault we’re not still on our march for #6.  It’s a harsh world and I don’t care if it hurts little Kyle’s feelings.  The arguments are good, the team didn’t convert any third downs (the one at the end of regulation doesn’t count).  Other than the touchdown throws to Vernon Davis the passing game did nothing.  Those are both great arguments, they are also pretty obvious facts to anyone that watched the game.

But your all missing something else pretty obvious

Kyle Williams. All the finger pointing has been going towards the direction of the second year wide receiver after the San Francisco 49ers fell short against the New York Giants in the NFC championship game. Williams had two costly fumbles that eventually resulted in 10 points for the Giants. The crucial fumble coming in overtime, this gave the Giants great field position to set up a game winning field goal. When the game concluded I was seriously depressed. I am sure many Niner fans were sharing the same emotions, if not worst. When I had time to cool down and evaluate the game I realized that it is unfair to put all the blame on Williams. I do believe in the saying, “We fall as a team and we rise as a team.” Here are the other factors that contributed to the Niners defeat. Continue reading this post »

The 49ers NFC Championship loss to the Giants is only a day and a half old but it seems like the game just ended.  This is the first time I have been able to write about the devastating loss.  I tried multiple times yesterday to write this review, however, every time I started to rethink the game in my head, the frustration and disappointment was still too fresh to get all the way through.  Usually after a 49ers game, whether it was a win or a loss, I search for as much information online and on TV to hear different insights about why San Francisco won/loss the game.  Since the end the of game on Sunday I have avoided anything associated with sports.  In the morning I have a routine of watching local news and ESPN’s First Take.  That did not happen yesterday, or this morning because I did not want to see highlights from the game.  Even with trying to avoid seeing images of the game, they still crept into my TV watching last night with a local news commercials showing a distraught Kyle Williams after fumbling the football.

I am heartbroken at the moment. Not to sound bitter but we deserved to win that game. It hurts right now but we have a whole off season to improve. This was just year one under coach Jim Harbaugh, it will get better. A special thanks to all the Niner fans that supported Niner Noise. All of you have been awesome this whole season. The off season starts now and Niner Noise will have up to the minute news for everyone. Thanks again.

What I should say is: The 49ers had one of the greatest, unbelievable seasons in recent memory.

What I want to say is: F*&ing Kyle Williams!

After we get over this loss, full analysis ahead from Niner Noise…*sigh*.

Game Recap

Both defenses came out to play in a game reminiscent of the 1990 NFC championship game between these 2 teams. On a sloppy field neither offense could get going on each of their first possession.

On the 49ers second drive starting at their own it took just 2 plays for Alex Smith to find his favorite Tight End Vernon Davis for a long 73-yard touchdown down the right sideline. It looked like the Niners offense would start right where they left off against the Saints a week prior. Continue reading this post »
