49ers end half leading 21-6

0

New stream for the second half

Best half of football of the year for the 49ers. And it should be noted, the offense was very conservative. They went mostly out their "red" formation, which is a I formation. You can be conservative if you execute.

49ers drive: Westbrook gets a few yards. The 49ers run for 128 yards for the half.

Cardinals drive: Crucial three and out by the 49ers off turnover.

49ers drive cont: Crabtree dropped a pass over the middle and it was picked. Crabtree took a peak ahead of him just before the ball arrived that contributed to the drop.

49ers drive: Holding call on Spillman costs them 40 yards. Two-minute warning.

Cardinals drive cont: Feely gets a 40-yard field goal to draw within 20-6.

Cardinals drive: Parys Haralson got rolled up on his ankle and he hobbled to the sideline

49ers drive: 6-yard touchdown by Brian Westbrook. Fantastic block by Anthony Davis on the right side. He cleared out the whole side. 49ers lead 21-3.

49ers drive: Ted Ginn Jr. ran it right up the middle and nearly scored. They'll have great field position.

Cardinals drive: Reggie Smith is having a good night. He's tackling much better. On third down, rookie Phillip Adams nearly picked off the pass.

49ers drive: 49ers try a little bit of trick on second down a screen pass to Anthony Dixon. The Cardinals had it read. 49ers go three-and-out.

Cardinals drive cont: Arizona forced to punt after a pass to that ends eight inches short.

Cardinals drive: Defensive coordinator Greg Manusky has blitzed the safety often over the last few weeks, but they always miss the tackle on run plays. Not this time. Reggie Smith hit the running back and dropped him for a loss. First quarter over. Good quarter for the 49ers.

49ers drive cont: Great cut and drive for a touchdown for Anthony Dixon. A lot of plays for fullback Moran Norris and he's blocking well

49ers drive: Gore had his right hip wrapped and is back. Gore is back out, but the 49ers are getting down the field with good play calls and two nice throws by Troy Smith. They had to call time out to avoid a penalty.

Cardinals drive: Beanie Wells got a long completion against Beanie Wells, and that put them in field position. Jay Feeley makes the 30-yarder.

49ers drive: After the fumble a strike to Michael Crabtree off play-action to Michael Crabtree. Great pass and catch. The 49ers fake a power run with Mike Iupati pulling and that provided Smith with plenty of time to go down field. Crabtree beat Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Frank Gore, however, went to the locker room.

49ers drive: Productive drive ending with a miss of a 48-yard field goal. Why try it? Shane Andrus was inaccurate in warm-ups. Can't believe they can't find a better kicker. Troy Smith started poorly on the drive missing three throws. But the 49ers look to be destroying the Cardinals up front.

Both cornerback Greg Toler (foot) and defensive end Calasis Campbell will be out for the Cardinals. 49ers kicker Shane Andrus was inconsistent from over 35 yards out. Former 49ers quarterback Steve Young picked the Rams to win the division. Safety Dashon Goldson will start. They just showed Vernon Davis trying to inspire team with what looked like tears coming down his face. 49ers will receive.
