Anthony!

It must be the playoffs...you're getting chatty.

No criticism of Garcia from me this week. But I thought I did give credit where it was due when I credited Owens.

The Giants packed it in...thought they'd won... thought the game was over... stopped playing after their first score in the second half. Shame on them.

Mora stopped being cute and finally switched our defensive scheme to one the players on the field understood and felt comfortable playing in the second half. About Freakin' time!

Even with his stupid late game penalty that could have cost us the game...Owens had what I thought was his best game as a pro (and he's had some pretty good games before). He wouldn't let the offense quit, even if he had to do it all by himself (as he often did). And I think he got Streets and Johnson juiced. And once the offense showed that they were not done...the defense decided to...as Seifert used to say; "Swell Up."

I think you're right. Take away one specific player and there's no way the Niners win that game. But I don't think that player was Garcia. (Just my 2 cents)

Looking ahead ot the Tampa game...and you know what's coming...I think we have to run the ball if we're gonna have any chance in this game.

But here's the thing. I think we have to open the running game up.

The big question is...can we?

I'm not doubting Hearst, Barlow or Beasley. I think they are a hell of a stable.

But with all the substitutions and injuries on the offensive line...I think our run blocking has become too limited.

From Deese to Heitmann to Stone, to Gragg...we've got noone who traps worth a damn. Neither of our Guards pull well and the only guy with a decent "L" step is Stone.

We play B.O.B. well...but this week we'll be playing B.O.W.D. (Big On Whirrling Dervish) and that makes me nervous.

Man I miss Ray Brown.
