Grantland Bears Beatdown!

Fourth and Short: Niner’s Dish Out a Recipe of Whoop-ass by Bill Barnwell

 

In this article, Bill Barnwell explains how the 49ers brought their “A” game when they played the Chicago Bears last Monday night on Monday Night Football on national television. Everyone around the league thought the Bears had a defense with no weaknesses. I would say the San Francisco 49ers exploited the Bears defense and made it seem like the whole Bears defense was super super weak. I always knew that the Bears defense was not as good as people say it was because the Packers were struggling at the beginning of the year and even the struggling Packers put up 24 points on the Bears defense and won the game pretty handedly. I kept telling people sooner or later the Bears defense would suffice and become the Bears defense that everyone in the NFC North conference was used to seeing on Sundays.

Next is the quarterback controversy between the 49ers original starter Alex Smith, who didn’t start due to injury, and the 49ers “backup” quarterback Colin Kaepernick who led the 49ers to a big win over the Bears last Monday night. Alex Smith has always been a so –so quarterback since the day he was drafted. He has not brought a lot to the table like he was supposed to. Now with Alex Smith being hurt, Colin Kaepernick stepped up to the plate and hit a home run. If I were the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers I would keep the wheels turning and not look back. I would give Colin the job and say it was his job to lose.
