Being a former leader of the Chicago Bears 1985 Super Bowl team, 49ers coach Mike Singletary is looking to defeat his former team as the 49ers and Bears face off tonight. Coach Singletary told reporters that “the Bears will always be a team I love”. However, when preparing for tonight’s game Singletary stated that “now that I have played them a couple times, it’s just a matter of going out there and competing against a good football team and trying to do the best I can”.
The 49ers, (3-5), and the Bears, (4-4), will battle it out at 5:20 p.m., tonight at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, California. The 49ers are playing off of a four game losing streak and are eager to break the chain. The 49ers are staying positive, even though they are only coming off of a three day rest. The 49ers are looking to control the ball from the opening kickoff and stop Chicago’s strong offense and special teams. Turnovers have been a big problem that the ‘9ers have faced this season and protection is needed for Alex Smith, in order for him to have time in the pocket. While Smith’s passing has been shaky at times, 49er receives need to run quick, smooth routes in order to get open in a timely fashion. This will allow Smith to have more options to work with and will hopefully tire and confuse Chicago’s defense.
The Bears are also coming off of loss, which they faced on Sunday to the Arizona Cardinals. While both teams are hoping to flush their funk, tonight’s game will be a tough one for both struggling teams.
Great job, Sean. You managed to fit in a short entry: Singletary's history with the Bears, the Niners' record and loss streak, and analyzed the offense and defense of both teams.
ReplyDeleteYou do a great job on this blog! It's clearly a topic that you're passionate about!! Even for someone like me, who doesn't keep up with sports, it's easy to read and enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteThat game was a nail-biter. I could definitely see this being a preview on espn.com or on nfl.com. Great job of tying everything in from Singletary's career as a player to how crucial this game is for both teams.
ReplyDeleteYour blog was easy to read and understand. I don't follow sports, so reading your blog was very informative. By the way, I like the picture you choose.
ReplyDeleteThis game stressed me out throughout the whole night and I was listening to it in traffic!! Anyways, good post on how you put everything together with Singletary's career and the team. Hopefully, the Niners do not play like this on Sunday because if we do, were in deep trouble....again.
ReplyDeleteI don't follow football, but your post is short, simple and very informative.
