Morning Tailgate: Oct. 19

Posted by Taylor Price on October 19, 2012 – 11:59 AM

The San Francisco 49ers can enjoy a mini bye week this weekend after defeating Seattle 13-6 Thursday night at Candlestick Park.

The 49ers relied on Frank Gore to carry a heavy workload against a stingy Seahawks rush defense and the franchise’s all-time leading rusher delivered with a 16-carry, 131-yard performance against an NFC West rival.

Jim Harbaugh liked the way all of his offensive players competed throughout the team’s first division game of 2012.

“Just point to the physical play of our offensive line,” the 49ers coach said. “Coming off the ball there were some big holes. [RB] Frank [Gore] ran well. Receivers were blocking. [WR Michael Crabtree] Crab had a physical play early in the game breaking two or three tackles. But, it was just that kind of physical play. Some good plays were called and guys were feeling it and coming off the ball.”

Crabtree’s impressive body control is photographed in the image atop this blog post. Let’s take a look at all the headlines from the 49ers win.

Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News shares his game story from Thursday night. Inman: “Cornerback Chris Culliver offered the simplest explanation Thursday night for why the 49ers, yet again, avoided a two-game losing streak. “Because we’re the 49ers,” Culliver said after a 13-6 escape against the visiting Seattle Seahawks.”

Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote about Gore’s big game in his game story. Branch: “Finally, the 49ers fed Frank Gore on Thursday night and that made all the difference. After underutilizing their bell-cow back for six quarters dating back to last week, San Francisco open the second half with a Gore-centric touchdown drive and never looked back in a 13-6 win over Seattle on Thursday night at Candlestick Park.”

Kevin Lynch of SFGate.com detailed the physical encounters between Marshawn Lynch and Dashon Goldson.

Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee breaks down the most physical 30 minutes of football Harbaugh has ever seen.

Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com explains the logic in Harbaugh declining a fourth-quarter safety.

Maiocco also looked at the physical toll of Gore’s big game.

Mike Sando of ESPN.com offers his thoughts after the 49ers latest win. Sando: “The 49ers have 11 days to recover and self-scout before facing the Cardinals in a Monday night game at University of Phoenix Stadium. Arizona hasn’t allowed more than 21 points in a game this season. The nation might see another NFC West slugfest. The goal, then as now, will be to get out alive.”

49ers.com’s postgame coverage included a game story, a look at the 49ers staying atop the NFC West, a game notebook discussing Gore’s big effort, photos from the game and a Cover 2 video report presented by AAA.

    Tough win thanks D.
    Good job Frank.
    A. Smith you have no vision down field. You suck!!!

    805faithful. Apparently you the one with no vision downfield. Seattle has tall physical corners that had the WRs blanketed all day. On the Moss in the backfield play, he was running for his life. Its a lot easier to see the open guy in replays on the comfort of your couch but try doing it with 300 lb lineman breathing down your neck. Always looking for someone to blame. Just enjoy the win and STFU.

    If he weren’t such a mediocre QB AS would have saw it even with a 300lb lineman breathing down his neck. We all know though we dont have an elite QB, we have AS.

    You all seen “The Catch” right? That guy is an elite QB. Three linemen breathing down his neck. Miss you Montana!

  5. By JkFrrsz on Oct 20, 2012 | Reply

    Thumb me down, I dont care. Its the truth. AS gets scared when a play breaks down, does not have great field of vision, and is only accurate on his check downs hoping the reciever makes yards after the catch for the first down marker.
    There was no lineman after him when Moss was wide open.

    Hey undercover Raiders fan I mean Dave. Look at the film for yourself before you open your mouth. Your probably that guy at the game that gets kicked out for fighting someone that goes for same the team.

    come – on kids, lets keep in down in the back seat, no fighting!

    We have a great team, great coaches, but I do question our play calling, yeah I understand we have great coaches. But that doesn’t mean that I always have to agree with`em.
    We have high draft picks that even been on the field for one down, I just don’t understand it. Manningham didn’t play vs seagulls and neither did our number pick WR Jenkins,
    what gives? also like to see James carry it one time!
    WE should get everybody involved in the game, make them all part of our team, eh?

    I love me 9ers, but with 50 plus years as a faithful I have the right to B i t c h every now and then. I know we are not playing up to our potential, maybe we peak 13th or 14th game not that would be something special, eh? GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONINERS!

  10. By abrahamer on Oct 21, 2012 | Reply

    ur right 9erdog it seems like one of the strenghs of the coaching staff has been utilizing everyone on the team full team effort=full team victory, and yet somehow it seems like ur lucky on this team to be put in a role, because competion is high at every position,still roleplaying can become predictible, and we need to use some of the depth on our roster to not be tired and injured come playoffs,jacobs comes to mind and lamicheal, and hunter looks awesome this year,gotta have gore fresh at the end, goooooore niners !!!

    JkFrrsz & 805faithful live in a fantasy stat world where Montana & Young never had a bad game AND they actually have a nice looking girlfriend. They sound like the biggest doughboy dorks!

  14. By JkFrrsz on Oct 21, 2012 | Reply

    I’m sorry, but why not throw out some of your knowledgable thoughts of how we can get this team to be the most superior team in this league other than talking about my girl and calling me a doughboy?

    what are you 12?

  16. By JkFrrsz on Oct 21, 2012 | Reply

    You weren’t even correct on your playcall of Moss in the backfield when he was open for Smith.

  17. By JkFrrsz on Oct 21, 2012 | Reply

    Oh and by the way. I would never compare AS to Montana and Young. AS will never be the playmakers they are.Never said Montana and Young never had a bad game either.

    jkF: get it right! “The Catch” is about the catch, not the throw!
    If Clark couldn’t jump that high, who knows ,,,, I’m just saying!

    abrahamer: no disrespect meant. you want to see james and jenkins, so do a lot of us on the blog. who do you want to de-actavate on game day so they can play? just asking

    JkFrrsz… you had to type 4 different blogs to make zero point. You really think it matters what thoughts anyone on these blogs have on getting this team to be superior????? Think about what that rediculously dillusional comment says about you dork.
