For 31 seasons, the New Orleans Saints and the San Francisco 49ers played each other every year as NFC West Division rivals, and while the teams' fortunes were quite different for most of those seasons, there were still some very memorable games.
The San Francisco 49ers officially have benched quarterback Colin Kaepernick, and they have traded away former Pro Bowl tight end Vernon Davis.
Returning back home to Levi's Stadium is a good thing for the San Francisco 49ers, even if they have several injuries to be concerned about in the training room. A few key players missed workouts on Thursday, and several others were limited in participation. How this turns out on Sunday is anyone's guess.
The San Francisco 49ers are only 1-4 this season, and they've lost four straight games. However, after back-to-back blowout losses in Weeks 2 and 3, the 49ers have lost the last two games by closer margins.
Remember when the San Francisco 49ers had such a short injury report? We knew it wouldn't last. In the modern NFL, someone is always getting hurt.
One week after having a single player on the injury report, the San Francisco 49ers approach their Week 3 road contest against the Arizona Cardinals with seven players on the weekly list. Good health doesn't last forever in the NFL, and the 49ers will need all the bodies they can get on Sunday against the NFC West division leaders.
The first two weeks of the NFL season have produced opposite results for the San Francisco 49ers, and in Week 3, the team faces a stiff challenge on the road against the Arizona Cardinals.
Running back Reggie Bush is listed as questionable for the San Francisco 49ers' Week 2 matchup on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a calf injury suffered early in the Week 1 win over the Minnesota Vikings. That's literally the only injury the team is reporting this week to the NFL, and that's an amazing sign of good luck for the 49ers. To come out of Week 1 with a win and no major injury concerns is miraculous in this day and age of professional football.
Every year around this time, I find myself getting asked the same question over and over again from people who know I enjoy football. "So, who do you like this season?"
After suffering just their 3rd loss of the season last week, its important for the 49ers to avoid a losing streak on Sunday. Standing in their way of getting back in the winning column will be the Miami Dolphins, who have played well in spots, but overall have not had a good season. This one does not appear to be close on paper, but the 49ers proved just last week that there are no easy victories.
The Raiders played an abysmal game on both offense and defense. Dolphins running back Reggie Bush had one of the best games of his career and Miami wide receiver Brian Hartline also played well. Oakland quarterback Carson Palmer had another game in which he threw for many yards but executed poorly when it mattered most.
