Week Eight: San Francisco 49ers (3-3) at Indianapolis Colts (6-0)- Open Thread

San Francisco 49ers at Indianapolis Colts, Nov 1, 2009 1:00 PM EST


Gamedaythreadlogoninerscolts_medium

Week Eight: San Francisco 49ers (3-3) at Indianapolis Colts (6-0)
Location: Lucas Oil Stadium; Indianapolis, IN
Kick-off Time: 1:00pm Eastern

Broadcast: FOX
SB Nation Co-Blog: Niners Nation

After several tough road games, many of which were on primetime TV, the Colts return home to face a tough and desperate 49ers, who are coming off two loses where their pass defense was less than stellar. Alex Smith is now the starting QB for the 49ers again, and onetime free agent haul Nate Clements has been benched for the game. Clements was signed to a massive contract in 2007, making him (at that time) the highest paid defensive player in football. Now, Tarell Brown will start in his place while Clements plays the nickel.

For the Colts, rookie running back Donald Brown is out, meaning Mike Hart will see significant action today for the first time in a year. Also likely out are Marlin Jackson, T.J. Rushing, Jamey Richard, and Tony Ugoh. Adam Vinatieri and Anthony Gonzalez are definitely out.

This is your open thread. Enjoy. Go Colts!

Fox has been talking about Favre's return to GB since I changed over about 30 minutes ago

umm guys, that’s a late afternoon game. Why not talk about the games you’re about to show?

This is me taking out frustration on everyone that says it. That run doesnt get that far with Bullitt in. Keep Sanders in ALL game. Let the 49ers destroy us with Alex Smith at QB, and then please keep coming back with videos of Sanders from 2005 going HOW CAN YOU SIT THE HIT MAN, LOOK AT THIS WONDERFUL HIT.

umm didn't you run the numbers and find the D was better with Sanders?

similar run D with improved pass D?

but don’t let the facts change your mind

Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.

by shake n bake on Nov 1, 2009 1:28 PM EST up reply actions  

the numbers were the name

only thing that was different was a lower completion %. Im not letting facts change my mind, my position the whole time is that Bullitt should be the starter. Now im letting actual footage show the truth. Bob Sanders, highest paid piece of glass on the planet.

by SpazMo on Nov 1, 2009 1:30 PM EST up reply actions  

because one play proves so very much

especially compared to two seasons of data.

And if the run D numbers are the same how could you possibly support a claim that having Bullitt in would have improved the run D?

dont recall a 60+ yard

with BUllitt in:) But I can name mulitple long runs with Sanders in. And having no Sanders saves 6million. And a roster spot for someone else. Its pretty simple addition by subtraction.

doesnt it seem dumb to have the roof open AND

choose that direction to start the game? Im assuming the 49ers won the toss, the Colts should have chosen to go into the shade to begin, by the 2nd and 3rd quarter, it shouldnt be so much of an issue.
