*Is Frank Gore being injured in the last few minutes of a game going to be a trend? Maybe the Niners should think about spelling Gore with Hicks earlier in the game, if it means that Gore's body is more likely to hold up in the game's last five minutes...
*You never really know how a young team not used to winning will respond to a heartbreaking loss. I have fears of a N'Orleans' drubbing next week. On the flip side, a close game will show a vast amount of improvement from the team. Playing at New Orleans is the most difficult game the team has had since at Chicago...
*There are so many teams at 5-6 and 6-5...in fact, it seems likely that one team of the following: (Giants, Eagles, Rams, Falcons, Niners) will join the Panthers as the last wild card team (with the Cowboys, Bears, Saints and Seahawks). Those five bubble teams are really flawed right now...someone is going to have to make a break for the postseason. It could be the Niners, but winning on the road against strong teams has become a necessity. There will be no backing in to the playoffs this year...perhaps we can hope that Jay Cutler is overwhelmed by the NFL scene and hands away a game at Denver...thing is, winning at Denver is so difficult, I think Jim Druckenmiller might be able to lead the Broncos to victory...
*If the Niners beat the Seahawks or Saints on the road, Vernon Davis is going to have to be a downfield weapon.
*The Niners played well without Spencer this week. That is a credit to the entire defense.
*Do you think Bryant Young is a Hall-of-Fame player? I do...this guy is still one of the best D-Linemen in the game. It is damn hard to do this at his age...and he brings it every season. For a while, he was a one-man show on the line. Maybe next year, we can finally get him some real help, a la 1994 and 1995.
