SPEAKING

``Every accident hurts. This accident kills you.'' -Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers, who let an interception blooper through his easily during a last-minute, 13-10 accident to Oakland.

 

Singletary not satisfied

As the 49ers adapt for a alley bold at Minnesota, the drillmaster will admonish his players that three able drives concluded in acreage goals instead of touchdowns, quarterback Shaun Hill was sacked four times and the aegis gave up a 70-yard touchdown drive at the end of the aboriginal half.

Though professing to be beholden for Sunday's 23-10 win over Seattle, Singletary about batten of what was not able afore he delved into what was achieved. It was center through his postgame abode afore he even mentioned active aback Frank Gore, adolescent who had touchdown runs of 79 and 80 yards.

"We accept to do a bigger job than we did today," Singletary said. "We larboard too abundant on the field. We accept to finish. We accept to do a bigger job on third down as an offense. We wish to be a aggregation that absolutely makes a aberration in this year's playoffs, championships, whatever. That's what we wish to be."

Because they don't duke out wins in the NFL, the 49ers will adore their 2-0 almanac until alertness begins Wednesday for the Vikings.

"We exhausted the two best teams in our division," Gore said. "Now everybody knows we're for real. If we don't accomplish brainy errors and about-face the brawl over, we should be fine."(San Francisco 49ers football jerseys)

Giants 23, Redskins 17

The Journal provides minute-by-minute assay of today’s NFL opening-weekend date amid two age-old rivals, blame the division off at Giants Stadium. Guest blogger Nando Di Fino offers annotation on the bold and the Fox telecast.

The adventure of the Redskins-Giants division opener ability a cautionary one. The Giants came into this bold after an aristocratic receiver. The result? Eli Manning threw to seven altered players for 256 yards. Jason Campbell was much-maligned by critics and fans. His answer? A quarterback appraisement that was .1 credibility college than the more-beloved Manning’s (93.6 to 93.5), but buoyed mostly by a late-game drive. The final account was 23-17, abundant afterpiece than the bold would accept appeared to anyone watching it, but abutting abundant for an onside bang in the endure two account of the game.

Washington may not about-face out to be as bad a aggregation as this bold indicated, while the Giants showed some red-zone weaknesses that ability be briefly disregarded in an contrarily well-executed win. NFC East teams will exhausted up on anniversary added from now until Week 17…and maybe even above that, if three of them accomplish the playoffs. Along with this pair, there’s a complete Philadelphia aggregation (although we will accept to delay and see how abominably McNabb’s torn ribs about-face out to be) and a potentially abundant Dallas band (fans disregarded their accretion of advanced receiver Roy Williams endure year). Expect added of what we saw today: hard-fought battles and amateur that can about-face on one touchdown pass. For now, though, New York can rejoice (but be abiding to allotment with New Jersey) and Washington can accept achievement that Jason Campbell’s endure drive was an indicator of area he is headed, and not just an aberration. No amount which way this ends up arena out, NFC East admirers are in for a fun, long, season.

San Francisco is Good to Seattle

While Seattle is on the alley on Sunday, they are alone traveling to San Francisco, which happens to be the abutting geographic alley bold and a abode that they've gone 5-2 back they abutting the NFC West in 2002.

Also, to whom should the Seahawks forward their acknowledgment for the agenda this year in agreement of travel? They play the NFC North and the AFC South this year, but amazingly they do not accept to biking to the East Coast at all this year. We apperceive what happens to this aggregation if it crosses three time zones. This year, while the aggregation does accept to biking to far off places, but that's because Seattle is not abutting to any aggregation in the NFL, it does account from in fact accepting to host those teams on their agenda who appear to be extreme from Seattle. Teams like Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, and Tennessee are all at home. This is a acceptable thing. So I accept that agency that any accident can be attributed to the absolute play on the acreage as against to some awe-inspiring centralized time clock/travel issues, thankfully.

In accession to San Francisco getting about 800 afar away, they've got a aggregation that some prognosticators who anticipate that they in fact accept a above aggregation to Seattle. That may or may not be accurate I accept it depends on whether or not Frank Gore will abide to boilerplate 1.4 yards per backpack I'm not abiding how Shaun Hill's assembly should bang abhorrence into Seattle either. I'm not adage that Seattle shouldn't abhorrence him because I accumulate mistaking him for Shaun King (the above Tulane Green Waver and Tampa Bay Buc') or that he's not a "name" player. Just because hardly anyone knows his name does not accomplish him bad (and conversely, just because someone's name is apparent doesn't accomplish him good?see Jay Cutler endure anniversary for instance). Shaun Hill has accustomed Seattle no acumen to abhorrence him, abnormally if their active bold is as abhorrent as it was endure week. I see Seattle traveling down there and winning, and accomplishing so rather easily. I'm not affairs the 49ers.(San Francisco 49ers football jerseys)

Since we're on the affair of the 49ers, I anticipation that this would be a acceptable time to allocution about Mike Singletary. He was, unquestionably, one of the best average linebackers to play the game. I admired watching him play as a kid. But actuality is one brainless affair that humans adjudge to focus on if anecdotic how acceptable he was: his eyes. If a Mike Singletary highlight is on, a analyst will assuredly animadversion on Singletary's "intensity" and "focus" and point to his eyes as evidence. For those who accept no abstraction what I'm talking about, Singletary acclimated to accessible his eyes absolutely advanced if a play was advance and affectionate of fabricated a appealing funny face while accomplishing so.

Casting the spell for Broncos' realignment

Slicing through a fog of forecasted anguish appear Elvis Dumervil and Mario Haggan, hasty from the outside.

Penetrating above predictions of woe comes Andra Davis, churning advanced from the inside.

As Champ Bailey darts in from his atom at cornerback, as Brian Dawkins blitzes in from his position at safety, achievement trickles into this Broncos' season.

While offseason absorption focused on the battlefront of longtime drillmaster Mike Shanahan, the hiring of first-time drillmaster Josh McDaniels and the abominable abandonment of brilliant quarterback Jay Cutler, the Broncos were agilely developing some abracadabra accepted as the 3-4 defense.

All the 3-4 aegis does is win Super Bowls. As afresh as the 2003 season, alone two NFL teams were application

the 3-4 as their abject defense. The added 30 teams, including the Broncos, active the 4-3.

Yet, those two 3-4 teams — the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers — accept won four of the endure six Super Bowls, and the 2007 Patriots brought an 18-0 almanac into a fifth Super Bowl during that span.

For the Broncos, achievement comes not necessarily in numbers, but in the adjustment of numbers. Gone is the 4-3, which was so calmly pushed aside, anyway. In is the 3-4, which McDaniels brought from New England.

The 3-4 got off to a activation alpha endure Sunday, captivation Cincinnati to seven points.
