I watched the condensed version of the 49er game and I think they looked good, better than I hoped or wanted. They looked tough and mean. They were going up against last season's best defense and I think that some of JG's interceptions were due to Viking pressure. What stood out to me was how often the 9er's receivers were open. Was that a lapse on defense, or slick offensive play calling and routes? I don't know for sure but I think it was lapses on part of the Vikings. I thought Kirk C. looked pretty good.

The 9ers played inspired football, even when losing. Though it is very early, I am worried about them.

I also watched most of the Seattle / Denver condensed version. Neither team looked real good. Poor tackling all over. Seattle had a pretty hefty TE. Keenum was not as good as I thought he would be, as much as I wish him well, he didn't impress. Wilson looked OK, but he didn't have much help. Overall, Seattle didn't look inspired, or play as hard and the 9ers.
