Around the NFL...Week 12 Style

DeMarco Murray, Tyron Smith not expected to play on Thanksgiving | ProFootballTalk

Looks like Demarco and Tryron will be out, kinda as we expected


Im a little surprised Harbaugh is quick to name Keapernick the starter:

Jim Harbaugh says San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback will be determined by 'hot hand' between Alex Smith, Colin Kaepernick - ESPN

[skinsguy]

Keapernick was impressive! I only watched the first half, but the 49ers looked absolutely flawless with him in at QB.

[JoeRedskin]

Man, Harbaugh just can't wait to kick Smith to the curb.

I predict that in the not too distant future, Smith will have be the winner of the "Best Back-Up QB In The League" title (A title now vacant due to Campbell's stunningly bad performances these past two weeks).

Poor Campbell, different team, same bruises.

JC played just like he did here so many times. It wasnt just that the 9ers had a great pass rush, but it was his inability to feel the pocket and get rid of the ball in a timely fashion that was the reason why he was beat up last night.

As far as the 9ers it looked as though they changed the offense a little with CK at the helm and were able to incorporate some of the read option stuff that teams have been experimenting with as of late. It took the Bears by surprise and led to the beat down that was handed to them. The defense was off balance all night and looked unprepared.

Campbell had no shot yesterday, none whatsoever.

As for Kaepernick, nice job. Remember he played out of the pistol offense in Nevada.

Greg Roman the 49er's OC is great at adjusting his offense to his QB.

At the risk of "going there" ... isn't that exactly what MS and KS have done with RGIII?

I know some will see this as making excuses for him, it's not I could really care less about the guy now that he's not here. I agree he had no shot.

Chicago's OL got absolutely worked over all night long. A lot of times he had guys hitting him before he could even get set up in the pocket. I'm not sure Cutler would have done much better. SF was on fire right from the start.

You know me, no independent thoughts of my own. I vet everything through Matty and Smoot first - gotta know which way the mods are leaning so I can hang with the "in" crowd.

Yes. They got worked over and, maybe, Cutler gets the same treatment. At the same time, nothing Campbell has ever done suggests that he is capable of elevating those around him. Campbell has never had pocket awareness and has always had a slow delivery. Campbell on his best day is a solid game manager and nothing more.

SF lit it up. A better QB, however, may have been able to take some of the edge off of them. A mediocre QB like Campbell just was fuel for the flame.

Welcome! And, yes - I am the most lovable one here.
