The 1st play of the 2nd quarter is blown up, as Morris loses 4 running wide. But he gets it all back, and then some, as he takes a screen 14 yards into Niners territory.
Stanton will throw on 1st down...pressure from the edge...wants to throw...BALLBALLBALL! Niners recover. Crap. Stanton was cocking his arm to throw when he had his arm hit by an edge rusher. Niners were all over the turnover. Rookie mistake by a 3rd year Qb who is essentially a rookie...if you know what I mean.
Niners will start from their 47.
On 2nd and short, Smith has to scramble, then loops a pass to a diving Vernon Davis at the Lions' 34. Jeebus!
3rd and 8, Lions get pressure on Smith, but he swings it out to Gore, who is a yard short of the sticks...and they are going to go for it! But they call a TO before they do anything rash...
The Niners do go for it...handoff to Gore up the gut...Levy takes him down short of the marker! Lions hold! We hear BOOS reigning down on the Niners, deservedly so. Lions ball at their 24, after dodging a bullet.
Consider this a rare display of bullet dodging by the Lions...
3rd and 6, Stanton will throw...Megatron is open at the 45...spin move...he's hit...BALLBALLBALL! Shitfuck, Niners recover at the 48.
4 offensive drives, 1 FG, 1 punt, 2 turnovers. Uh...that's no gonna work, guys.
The Niners drive goes nowhere, as a holding penalty kills any SF momentum. Who knew centers couldn't tackle defensive linemen?
But the SF punt pins Detroit inside their own 5. No turnovers on this drive, OK? We copacetic?
On 3rd and 3, Stanton tries a QB draw...it didn't fool a soul in maroon, as Stanton loses 2. Lions will punt.
Niners take over their 45. On 3rd down, Smith will throw, steps up, finds Walker on a crossing route, good for 22 yards at the Lions' 23. Come on, we all knew the Lions weren't going to be able to stop the Niners all game.
My buddy Wolverlion tosses a bomb towards a struggling Dick Stockton in the comments:
Dick Stockton is clueless. I swear he is nearly as bad as Pat Summerall was at the end.
Now watching the once great Summeral decline was worse than sad. Summerall was awful at the end, and Stockton sounds as if he's on his way to the same place.
On 3rd and long, Lions bring everybody on a blitz, White cleans up with a nice tackle on the desperation dump off.
The Niners Schmitt comes on for a 39 yard FG, and he kicks a frigging knuckleball thru the uprights! Damn, I don't know how that kick got where it needed to be, it was fucking ugly.Ugly counts, so the Niners take a 6-3 lead with just over 2 minutes left in the half.
I'm really not this pissed. It's that Schmitt's FG kick sounded exactly like Rageguy! It was all "FFFFUUUUUUUU" thru the air...
Morris gets a yard when the Lions take over, and we hit the...2 MINUTE WARNING!
3rd and long, Stanton looks for a deep out, but checks down...and his pass sails over the back's head...PICKED at the Lions 40! Fuck, that was fucking ugly. Yes, it was a 2 fuck pass by Stanton.
Christ, this team is going to kill me.
On 3rd and long, Smith finds Crabtree at the sticks, 1st damn down. The Niners call their 2nd TO facing 3rd and 4 from the Lions 23. I'm not feeling too confident right now. Spidy sense is tingling...
Smith takes a DEEP drop, then drops a pretty pass to the wide out for the 1st down at the 16. It's the sort of situation where Stanton would have tried to throw a fastball...
The Niners face 3rd and 4 at the 10 with 20 ticks on the clock. Smith with another DEEP drop...knocked down at the line by Cohen!
Schmitt will try a chip shot from 28...Here's the kick...it's thru the up....Huh? The Schwartz going to ice him? Guess so, as the Lions call a TO.
AND IT WORKS! Cohen gets a massive push and his hands up, then blocks the kick! Lions take over, and will likely take a knee with 10 seconds left.
And that's just what Stanton does. The half ends with the Niners leading 6-3.
The home crowd is giving their team all kinds of shit for only leading Detroit by 3 after 30 minutes.
Must be a Niners fan...
BOOOOOO is the word of the day in the city by the bay. Hey, that rhymed!
