This one is going to be interesting. After two weeks playing away, the Skins are back at home having dropped three straight. We are also playing a rejuvenated 49er team that has been looking good. Here are my thoughts:
1. Offense: It really falls on Beck and Kyle to get this thing going. The 49ers have the top run defense in the league and I don't doubt for a second that they are going to force Beck to make plays. I imagine they will crowd the box and send extra pressure to force Beck to make mistakes/hold on to the ball and take sacks. I don't have a whole lot of faith in Beck so I think this could get ugly. I imagine the fans will start to boo early on as the offense struggles under Beck. I won't be too surprised if we see Rexy back in there in the second half. We'll see how this goes.
2. Defense: I expect a MUCH better performance from this group. I don't believe much in Alex Smith and we have to get back to playing better. I am just hoping that our offense doesn't put the defense in short fields. I really expect to see these guys step up and make plays. This is the area of the game I will be most interested in.
3. Special Teams: I know Banks wants to get a spark and runs the ball out of the end zone every time he gets a chance and that's fine but he has got to do better to justify his spot on the roster. Same for punts. Otherwise, just let Austin have a chance to see what he can do and if it is the same, get rid of Banks to make room for another player.
In the end, I think our offense will struggle again. Beck and Kyle will really be on the hot seat this game and will really need to make some plays. However, I think the 49er defense is good and they are going up against an injury riddled offense with no real QB so I am not expecting much. I think our defense will play well but it won't matter because our offense will sputter. Skins will fall 19-9.
HAIL SKINS!!!

I pretty much agree with you. I cant even say this 49ers team is fluky because they've beaten some decent opponents. Maybe we can hope that becomes a trap game for the 49ers. Thats the only way the Skins win this. Id just try to contain Gore and make Alex Smith try to win it. We'll see what happens. It should be interesting at the very least. In the end, chances are the score favors the 49ers.
24-10 49ers.
31 - 6 SF wins big.
The Deadskin D stinks. The special teams aren't any good. The offense is truly atrocious. The coaching is terrible and the team is falling apart.
The home fans will be booing in earnest by the end of the first quarter.
I am literally laughing at Rob's comment. I expected nothing less.
When it happens you will be crying. At least you can have a laugh now.
