49ers-Cardinals live blog: Fourth quarter

SAN FRANCISCO — This is the live blog for the fourth quarter of the 49ers Week 17 game against the Arizona Cardinals. I’ll update this frequently with information and analysis from the press box.

3:34 Crabtree has 165 yards receiving. That’s the most by a 49ers receiver since Terrell Owens on 11/25/02. He has 166 yards.

3:35 Kaepernick completes a short pass to Gore in the right flat. Gain of 14.

3:36 On first and goal from the eight, Gore runs up the middle for one yard.

3:36 Gore runs around the right end for five yards. Third and goal from the 2. The 49ers call timeout to talk about what play they want to run. I’m guessing they’ll go conservative and run Gore up the middle.

3:39 The Vikings just scored a touchdown. They lead the Packers 27-17.

3:39 Gore runs up the middle for a TD. That’s his 51st career rushing TD, the most in franchise history. Akers makes the extra point. 24-6 Niners with 12:59 left in the fourth quarter.

3:40 The 49ers got outplayed in the first quarter, but they’ve outgained the Cardinals 360 to 18 since the start of the second quarter.

3:42 Touchback Akers.

3:43 Hoyer completes a short pass to Floyd. McDonald strips him from behind and Whitner recovers.

3:44 First and 10 at the AZ 34. Kaepernick play fakes and throws off his back foot to Crabtree. The pass sails out of bounds. Second and 10.

3:44 On second down, Gore runs up the middle for four yards. Third and six.

3:45 Kaepernick throws deep for Crabtree, but the pass is overthrown and lands out of bounds. The 49ers are going for it.

3:47 Crabtree lines up in the slot and no one lines up in his face. He runs a slant and catches the pass for a seven yard gain.

3:49 First and 10 from the 23.  Gore gains six yards, and the Cardinals are flagged for a facemask. First and goal at the the nine.

3:49 Dixon runs around the left end four five yards, and then runs up the middle for one more. Third and goal from the three.

3:51 Kaepernick runs a sweep to the left and loses five yards. Akers will attempt a 26-yard field goal. He makes it. 27-6 Niners with 9:07 left.

3:52 The Packers are losing 27-24 with three minutes left in the third quarter.

3:54 Stephens-Howling returns the kickoff to the AZ 18.

3:54 Roberts runs a quick out and Hoyer hits him for a three yard gain.

3:55 Now King runs a quick out and Hoyer hits him for a six-yard gain. Third and one.

3:55 Hoyer completes a short pass to King for two yards. First and 10 at the AZ 30.

3:56 Hoyer completes a pass to Floyd for a six-yard gain.

3:56 Hoyer hits Roberts for three yards. Third and one.

3:57 Powell rushes up the middle for two.

3:57 And then Hoyer throws an interception to Brown. This game has been over. I’m going down to the field. Back at you shortly.

  47. Big Suede says:

    If that is the last pass Alex makes for the niners- it will fitting. Another completed pass that is a couple yards short of the first down marker.

    Classic Alex Smith

  58. Stan says:

    I called this game a 49er lock (BASG “henny penny”) and one Harbaugh would never lose.
    And I said that Norv aint losing to the Raiders today..
    Can you believe one dummy didn’t agree? He should stay anonymous.
    The nerve.

  59. michael says:

  61. Crab15 says:

    rib – TD VIKES!!! HOOOOFFFFFEEEERRRR!!

  62. ribico says:

    Slow start. Took care of biznez though.

    Now to the Vikes game….

  63. Allan says:

    Vikes D, time to step up.

    Then we just need a 65yd TD from AP.

  64. Hoferfan67 says:

    I’m not waiting…time for a drink.

  65. dangle says:

    damn! lynch just fumbled by seattle recovered

  66. Allan says:

    Awful play from Vikes secondary.

    It was 3rd and 18.
    Yuo have to get off the field, not try to get a sack or int.

  67. Big niner says:

    3rd and 20 wow!!

  68. Allan says:

    Damn.
    Packers are converting all 3rd downs.

    I’d really like to get the 2nd seed.

    Plus, Packers have many players hurt. If they don’t get a bye they might lose in the first round.

  69. Allan says:

    Crap.
    Pass Int from the 1.

    Vikings will have to time to try to get in FG range though.
    Their kicker is a beast.

  70. Crab15 says:

    I hate Joe Buck!

  71. Big niner says:

    Tied!!! time for AD to get a long run!!

  72. 49er42 says:

    Not yet, wait until there is less than 30 seconds left. You cannot leave Rogers any time.

  73. Big niner says:

    lets go Vikes!!

  74. Big niner says:

    you hear the packers fans?

  75. dangle says:

    Russel Wilson just Russel Wilson’ed the Rams

  76. Crab15 says:

    First down!

  77. Big niner says:

    first down. Now run it down their throats!!

  78. Crab15 says:

    My favorite color is purple! Go Vikes….Purple haze!

  79. Ribico says:

    Maul of America! Go Vikes!

  80. MontanaMan16 says:

    Purple Rain baby!

  81. Big niner says:

    BJ Raji is annoying, lol he thinks he’s dekimbe Mutombo hahaha

  82. MontanaMan16 says:

    Yees!

  83. Ribico says:

    Petersonnnnnnnn!

  84. Crab15 says:

    ALL DAY!!!!

  85. dangle says:

    AP is ridiculous

  86. MontanaMan16 says:

    9 yards to go….thats tough

  87. Big niner says:

    shut up Buck!!!

  88. MontanaMan16 says:

    We are 2 seed!!!!

  89. michael says:

    Vikes win Peterson 9 yards short of record that sucks.

  90. Big niner says:

    bye week!!

  91. 49er42 says:

    Thank you AP!

  92. Crab15 says:

    BYE!!!!!!!!!!! F- YA!!!!! Thank you #28!

  93. tkamB says:

    Adrian Peterson MVP

  94. michael says:

    3 more wins

  95. Neal says:

    Usually bye bite you on the ass but this time, I like it.

    • 23jordan/ says:

      What did I tell you Neal! #2 seed. Don’t question this team. We are winning the Super Bowl.

      • Neal says:

        I hear ya Jordan, Akers and Ginn scare the hell out of me, but I love our composure in the second 1/2.

      • 23jordan/ says:

        Neal,

        We can’t depend on Akers. I like the message JH sent him today. We will win in spite of you this year! Ginn will be fine. He’s not gonna catch a thing but he may give us a return or 2. The player that worries me is VD. He didn’t give max effort to make catches before the concussion. He’s really not there right now.

      • Neal says:

        Jordan,

        I said little earlier that I would love to see film on VD today, to see if he is open at all, Kaep and Crabs got a thing going on and that is great.

      • 23jordan/ says:

        VD has got to get it going at some point. Playoff teams are not going to let Crabtree beat us. They may start doubling him like like the did Vernon earlier in the season. Delaney dropped another TD. He is killing me. We can’t drop TDs in the playoffs. There is no room for that.

  96. Allan says:

    Petterson has to be MVP of the season.

    Guy is unbelievable.

    The number 2 seed is pretty valuable to us.
    We might face the Packers at home on divisional round.

    Imagine the media if Alex Smith still was the starter.

  97. Big niner says:

    Relieved!! so what are the Nfc playoff match ups?

  98. 23Jordan says:

    Niners get 2 seed!!!

    • Mr. Everything says:

      Just as Jordo predicted. Everyone brace for Prime’s cancer insults to start flying.

      • MontanaMan16 says:

        Pull your head outta his a$$, will ya?

      • Hoferfan67 says:

        He’s a follower. LOL

      • Mr. Everything says:

        MM and Hofer are mad. They were reminded that Alex will never play again here, also reminded why Alex was benched with that last pass. Hehe.

      • ribico says:

        Mr.E Are you just here to douche things up?

        Get lost while the rest of us celebrate.

      • Prime Time says:

        Mr.Nobody, assume the position!

      • Mr. Everything says:

        Rib

        Douche? Are you stinky?

      • Mr. Everything says:

        Prime

        You are a cancer mocker. How’d it feel to get erased by Grant for a week straight?

      • Hoferfan67 says:

        Mr E, I’ve never seen anything from you here that is productive. Move along.

      • MontanaMan16 says:

        In that position, he has no choice but to follow!

      • ribico says:

        Got anything to add tonight except insults to other posters, Mr E?

      • Prime Time says:

        Mr. Nobody, no one on here likes you, you have no integrity, all you do is babble, leave now and no one will care.
        Buwhahahahahahah!!!!!!!

      • Prime Time says:

        Tarzan I’m gonna respect the 49ers win tonight and let you show everyone how little you are. The floor is yours clown!

      • Mr. Everything says:

        Prime and Hofer are predictable clowns…

        Rib, you’re a good fan, and MontanaMan, although you’re Doomsday McGee, you know some shiite…

        But you’re all Alex Fluffers, through and through! Enjoy the next three games with Alex riding pine in Red and Gold, and then do the only thing you’re good at, follow Alex to his next home and keep fluffing him :)

      • Hoferfan67 says:

        MR E,

        I’ve never ever read one thing from you that is interesting, insightful, factual, or anything else. What you think of me is irrelevant. Cheers and go 9ers!

      • Mr. Everything says:

        Hofer

        Not my fault you can’t read, not my fault you regularly “turtle” after Niners wins behind Kaepernick, not my fault you can only relate to Fluffers.

        But good for you for keeping the right spirit!

      • Hoferfan67 says:

        Nick, I respect your knowledge but I saw MC wide open several times. It was either poor coverage or good moves/routes. I’ll re-watch to determine for sure. Either way, MC had an outstanding game.

      • Hoferfan67 says:

        Mr. E, that’s my point. I didn’t understand one thing you just stated. Maybe one of your prior names/avatars here may help? Why did you change several times in the first place?

      • Mr. Everything says:

        Hofer

        Why ask why? Is that more to your level of understanding? Have a good night, Fluffer. I’m out ;)

    • 23jordan/ says:

      Mr E,

      Never any doubt. I told you that we are going to win the Super Bowl. Book it!

  99. Houston 9er says:

    I’m sending Adrian Peterson a Thank You card. #2 seed baby!!!

    • ribico says:

      We love him! As long as we don’t have to play him again.

      • Brotha Tuna says:

        Adrian reminds me a bit of Dickerson. Tall, lean, strong, blinding fast. I think Adrian is even more elusive than Dickerson and as good or better as a receiver. Like Dickerson, Jim Brown and Earl Campbell EVERYONE KNOWS HE’S GETTING THE BALL, but they still can’t stop him.
        Gore is a Tailback, but in his toughness he reminds me some of Jim Taylor.
        Those of you dinosaurs who can visualize those old time players, be sure to take your medicine!

      • Hoferfan67 says:

        Brotha, what are you drinking tonight bro??

      • Brotha Tuna says:

        @ Hofe
        Why do you ask? Am I slurring my typing? Gadzooks! It’s still early! ; >)
        A glass of Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc, then an Artessa Carneros Pinot Noir to go with scratch pasta & red sauce with Italian style sausage. Ciao Bella.

      • Hoferfan67 says:

        Brotha, what a coincidence!! I had some Roederer Brut Rose (wife loves the bubbly) earlier and I found Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc at Safeway today very affordable and I’m going to have that with my chicken pollo picante. I tried some of the Cupcake, and it is good for the price. I love NZ Saugvignon Blanc. To answer your question, no you aren’t slurring your words. LOL

      • Houston 9er says:

        What in the world is chicken pollo picante. pollo means chicken in spanish so that’s like saying Chicken Chicken Picante. That reminds me of the movie Mickey Blue Eyes where James Caan is a wiseguy who owns a restaurant named The La Tratoria. Makes no sense.

      • Hoferfan67 says:

        Houston,

        It is Chicken cooked in garlic, olive oil, marinated black olives, parsley, and white wine (Cupcake since it is open). Really good with pilaf and bread to dip in the sauce. Now I’m hungry. LOL

      • Sephora Sucker says:

        Chicken pollo picante is what people who don’t know nothing eat when their hungery for some spices rubbed on their chicken fingers licking good

      • Brotha Tuna says:

        @ Houston
        We Cali’s don’t bother too much with proper grammatics beyond Cervesa. As in: “Have the senyoreeta bring uz some mo’ cervesas.”
        @ Hofe
        Roederer is our favorite Bubble House, but we’re members at “J”; killer good Russian River bubbles, chard and PN. And yeah, Cupcake is a cheapskate’s friend!

      • Hoferfan67 says:

        It’s italian not spanish.

      • msclemons67 says:

        As someone who has to deal with the Wine Group on a regular basis, I beg you all, don’t buy Cupcake.

        They are horrible people. Absolutely horrible.

  100. Big niner says:

    next week,
    Viking at GB
    seattle at WSH/Dal

  101. fesnyc says:

    just back from watching at a bar and happy the Niners dispatched the Cards – especially happy to see us escape without major injury (i think/hope) and to see the fans give Alex a nice round of applause at the end. ugly game at the start, but i saw Joe win ugly more than a few times. Playoffs, here we come

  102. Grumpy Guy says:

    After a shaky first three drives, Kap posted a 114.6 passer rating today. Third down efficiency was not what it should be, 4 of 14 for 29%, but that was mitigated somewhat by going 2 for 2 on 4th down. On Kap’s last 7 drives, we scored 5 times (3 TD / 2 FG) and had the other two of the drives end in missed FGs. We had no punts during that section of the game. The fact that Gore was not that productive for most of the game makes that even more impressive.

    • Grumpy Guy says:

      AND – I should add – there were no 49er turnovers.

      • ribico says:

        And no delay of games or TOs to avoid them either. Glad they got that straightened out.

      • Neal says:

        Their was one Ribico in first 1/2, but yes a big improvement.

      • Neal says:

        JH called a time out with 2 seconds on the clock.

      • ribico says:

        Ah OK, missed that.

      • Hoferfan67 says:

        Consider the opponent.

      • ribico says:

        Yes Hof, we must consider the opponent. AZ was #2 in the league in interceptions, middle of the pack in forced fumbles.

      • Hoferfan67 says:

        Rib, the way they let MC roam free, I could have hit him in the numbers. LOL Just fell out of my chair laughing…LMAO

      • ribico says:

        Yeah, that coverage didn’t seem #2 worthy tonight.

      • bayareafanatic says:

        Haterfan67,
        Crabtree is wide open because he has a QB that steps up in the pocket, buys time and keeps his eyes downfield. Enjoy him for a while he is our franchise QB

      • Hoferfan67 says:

        Yawn…

        Your a REAL fan calling out several players after the win. OK.

      • Hoferfan67 says:

        *You’re*

      • Prime Time says:

        Hof Bay was at the game, he sees it differently every time. How many completions and incompletions were a fraction of being INTs today.
        A good win but not overly optimistic about this offense being one dimensional. The running game has gone dry while Crabs looks unstoppable. Don’t think that will be enough with CK’s inconsistency from drive to drive.

      • bayareafanatic says:

        Haterfan67
        It used to be DS that was paired up with Prumescum as the two room village idiots. Now that BS is banned I see youve taken his place. Clear you are a hater Hof but you are still a notch above Primescum.

      • Nick says:

        Hofer

        MC was being shadowed by Patrick Peterson all game long. Yet, he managed to get open and CK7 was able to deliver accurate passes. Those accurate passes were hitting CK in stride and allowing him to rack up big YAC numbers.

      • Hoferfan67 says:

        Bay,

        Can you please bring something to the blog where you aren’t disparaging to others that comment here. Something informative, factual, insightful, or anything football related will suffice. Do you have that in you or is your only debate non football related?

      • Prime Time says:

        Bay Hof has never insulted anyone with name calling, you should respect that with him and not call him names. You are just bitter cause you can’t handle hearing what you don’t want to hear. You are 60 year olds, maybe try acting like it.
        BTW, the two village idiots in the room are clearly, hands down, undisputed, 23 and yourself. That is a fact!

      • Nick says:

        Primate,

        The undisputed village idiots on this blog are you and your multiple screen names. Buwahahahah

    • MontanaMan16 says:

      That was Arizona!

      • MontanaMan16 says:

        The cure for a bad freakin mood!

      • 23jordan/ says:

        Montana,

        Arizona’s defense is very good. It is their offense that is bad. They shut our run game down early and they confused Kap for a minute. They just need a quarterback and a few linemen. We just need another receiver to help us. Vernon has to wake up from that concussion.

    • bayareafanatic says:

      Haterfan67,
      We won by a pretty large margin . Shiw me some complimentary posts of yours giving kudos to Kaep and Crabs hater. Go for it.

    • 23jordan/ says:

      Hofer,

      You have to be impressed with Kaps ability to throw accurately to receivers in stride. Also while rolling to his left. Right Hofer? What do you think about that?

    • 23jordan/ says:

      Prime,

      You have no respect on this blog. You need to know that you are the only blemish here now. DS is gone. Nobody respects you and even if you are talking football, you can’t start a thread because there is too much ignorance in your posts. Try and find a different path for the new year. You’ve gotten a reprieve on the blog and most of us wish you hadn’t. Just keep it football and maybe someone will take something you say seriously. Ive encouraged Neal to ignore you but he enjoys your display I guess. Nobody else does. Not even the Smithers that are still here. Do the best you can my friend and Happy new year.

      • Neal says:

        Jordan,

        I have ignored him today, enough has been said.

      • 23jordan/ says:

        Neal,

        Much respect to you for that. I guarentee you that if we stop feeding the troll, he will go elsewhere. the guy is a miserable soul. We make ourselves look foolish exchanging with him. Nobody else on this blog does.

      • Prime Time says:

        Like I told Bay yesterday, it’s a blog, stop pretending that this is some brotherhood where each of us is looking for respect or display our integrity.
        If you really believe that respect is an issue on here you are clearly living in a world with glass walls and windows.
        As for you talking about people replying to my comments, go back and look at who is following you 23. It’s the same two losers, Neal and Bay. Good luck to you in the New Year in trying to learn the game of football!

      • Prime Time says:

        Neal you are ignoring me cause I have not asked you to bark and I’m talking ball.

        Jordan,

        I don’t think he will go away, look on how he begged Grant to allow him to stay with all of his tantrums, it is quite obvious he needs this blog way more then the blog needs him, he totally disrepects Grant and 99.9 of everyone else. Your right the Smithers despise him since his older sibling (DS) left the building. Too bad he didnot follow his younger brother FDM too.

        Neal,

        Just give him some time, not attention. His feuding with you is all he really has right now. His hollow ignorant posts illicit no responses. Just stop replying to them and watch. He’s Mr. irrelevant. He’s a drag on the blog. Remember, he predicted that Alex Smith would get a 4 year $ 12 million a year contract. I can’t feed the troll. He knows that. You give him hope. Ignoring him hurts him more than insulting him.

        Primescum,
        I love how you are attempting to paint yourself with some form of maturity.
        You’ve insulted children on my team.
        You’ve posted under multiple names and insulted one of our posters wives who has cancer.
        You’ve been banned and had most of your posts deleted only to keep posting.
        But go ahead. You are right. The problems here are 23J, Neil and myself. SMH lol.

      • Neal says:

        I hear ya Jordan, he says yesterday that we should not communicate anymore and then his ADD kicks in and he tries to start something. I am a happy Niner fan today, we won the division, Kaep look great, love James and Crabs. We will take the week off and be game ready who ever we play. Win or Lose I am very optimistic of our team starting from the owner, head coach and the QB, damn good decision.

      • Prime Time says:

        Bay once again you pretend you think you know but really you are the one who looks small on here. I love it, you keep it up, the cream always rises to the top.

      • bayareafanatic says:

        And crap sinks to the bottom primescum…

      • Prime Time says:

        You know you have lost when you have to call names.

    OK. As I repeatedly said amidst the doom and gloom overreaction on this blog after the Seattle loss, we still had a 50/50 shot at the second seed. Now does anybody care about what happened in Seattle last week. We were in line for the second seed going into the Seattle game, and that’s where we ended up.

    Now we will play probably play GB at home. I like our chances.

    Seattle has to go to either Dallas or Washington next week. I think they lose either way. And, if they manage to win next week, they will face a rested Atlanta team the week after. I have a funny feeling that Atlanta will lose and once again we will face a NFC east team at the Stick in the NFC championship game.

  104. bayareafanatic says:

    Crabtree looked explosive today. Kaepernick looked like a beast once they took the handcuffs off.
    Gore looked slow today. Wish they would have held him out and used Boobie today.
    La Michael James please stand up. Man this kid is exciting. Ginn pack your bags buddy. You serve no purpose here except to fair catch the ball. You put us in a hole early in the game with your screwup.
    Akers thanks for a great 2011. You must go as well. Now unfortunately.

    • Neal says:

      I really don’t want to be critical but we employ the worst punt returner and field goal kicker in the game. both will be unemployed next year, they are done, as long as Ginn can catch the ball on a fair catch, I am good with that but next season, hopefully a corner that we draft can do that role but much better.

    • Hoferfan67 says:

      Let’s not call out all of the players. DA will come through in the playoffs. All good! Go 9ers.

  105. BigP says:

    “You serve no purpose here except to fair catch the ball.”

    After last years NFC Championship game, I’ll take that. Lol.

  106. Stan says:

    Comcast has to do better then the 49ers postgame show. Either is was the clown Radnich or its Jim’s best friend and Dwight Clark who never has anything to say.
    The Raiders post game runneth over with Romo and Loro.

    I’ll tell you what. That week the bad mood from the Seachicken loss never went away till just now! I feel pretty damn good for a welcome change. My poor co-workers!

  110. Neal says:

    The most important grade of the game.What is Grant going to grade AS.

    • Nick says:

      Neal

      He completed 100% of his passes :) Who cares if he was 0-1 on 3rd down and threw 2 yards short of the 1st down.

      • Neal says:

        Let’s not be so critical he been on the shelf for 7 weeks, when you sit that long things get spoiled. I am glad he did a little cameo.

  111. Brotha Tuna says:

    Did the AZ Left Tackle have some king of Immunity From Prosecution For Holding Flags? Aldon was getting molested. Y’all probably talked about it; I wasn’t on-line during the game.

    • Shoupbj says:

      It wasnt as bad as last week. They tried to show a highlight reel of Aldon not doing anything but all they showed were seahawks players draped all over him… every highlight they showed had a player with a handful of Aldons jersey.

  112. Mr. Everything says:

    Niners Fans

    Are we excited about backing into a bye for next week, after the horrific blowout last week?

    Stay level-headed, today was everything we should have expected. When Roman/Harbaugh finally removed their heads from their a**es, CK went nuclear and the defense tightened. The coaches are the keys to this team’s success. Call an aggressive, balanced game like the last 3 quarters and the Superbowl is a reasonable expectation. But if Roman ventures too far to either extreme, aggressive/conservative, they’ll be done. Intriguing…

  113. Shoupbj says:

    so players we need in the draft… 3-4 DE, CB, and RB although this seems to be a weak year for RB’s.

    • dangle says:

      another WR is also looking like a smart investment at this point.

      • Domingo says:

        Yep. Another WR is what we need to help our young QOTF! Yes we need D-line and CB but someone to compliment Crab will make the Kid CK even more productive.

  114. Hov says:

    Redskins kicker is David Akers twin !!! Missing field goals really dude

    • dangle says:

      The redskins kicker is in his first year starting and made something like his first 19 attempts. Big difference in career trajectory at this point. And I think that might of been his first miss of the season

  115. Allan says:

    Well, how about that Football Outsiders Almanac prediction of 7-9 season for the Niners, now?

    They can take that “regression to the mean” crap and shoveit up their assess.

  116. Neal says:

    Kaep and Crab got a thing going on, would love to see film if VD was open in his routes.

      Long live Kaepurnicus!

      • Nick says:

        The Kaepurnicus nick name is sticking. I like it and take credit for it :)

      • Brotha Tuna says:

        @ Nick
        Dude! My amigo! YOU take credit for that? I suggested Capernicus (I heard it at a party), then Razor respelled it winningly as Kaepernicus. You’ll be obliged to share your Royalties dammit!

      • Nick says:

        Brotha,
        No worries, as long as Kaepernicus keeps winning he’ll be a super star in no time. That pun was intended.

  118. Brotha Tuna says:

    Ya know, someone (Bay?) proposed that CardsFan=DS. An intriguing speculation. Here’s mine:
    DS = Mary Maitalin-Carville
    Prime= James Carville
    Inquiring minds want to know……..
