OAKLAND — This is the live blog for the first quarter of the 49ers’ Week 14 game against the Raiders. I will update this frequently with information and analysis from the press box.
1:23 The 49ers call heads. It’s tails, and the Raiders defer.
1:24 Bruce Ellington watches the kickoff fly into the stands. First and 10 at the 20.
1:26 Colin Kaepernick’s first pass gets picked off at midfield. He scrambled left and floated a pass over Michael Crabtree’s head. You’ve got to be kidding.
1:31 Sebastian Janikowski makes a 57-yard field goal. 3-0 Raiders.
1:38 Kaepernick tries to scramble on third-and-11 from the Niners’ 32 and Benson Mayowa runs him down for a sack. T.J. Carrie returns Andy Lee’s 60-yard punt to the Raiders’ 19.
1:43 The Raiders go three-and-out. Andre Holmes was flagged for offensive pass interference against Perrish Cox on second down.
1:44 Niners’ ball at their 40.
1:50 Kaepernick hits a wide open Bruce Miller in the left flat for an 8-yard touchdown. 7-3 Niners. Frank Gore gained 16 yards on back-to-back counter runs to the left, and Vernon Davis made a 23-yard catch earlier in the drive when Kaepernick rolled out to his right.
1:54 Greg Roman lined up Boldin in the backfield twice during that drive. First, Boldin received a handoff and gained four yards up the middle. Next, Boldin lined up at full back, ran to the left flat and made a 7-yard catch on third-and-four. When Roman lines up a non-running back in the backfield, it seems like that player gets the ball 90 percent of the time. Keep in mind Roman had a week and a half to prepare for this game.
1:57 T.J. Carrie catches the kickoff at the Raiders’ 6 and returns it 20 yards to the 26.
1:59 Latavius Murray gains 15 yards on a pitch-sweep to the right. First-and-10 for the Raiders at the Niners’ 49 when the second quarter begins.
Go Niners!
Well neither offense wants the ball, duh.
He’s got the hot hand….
This chumps status on this team needs to be reevaluated come January
And so it begins :(
What did Harbaugh say about Jed York’s dad that sealed Harbaugh’s fate apparently?
Has anyone heard?
The Rams already look better……
Kap is auditioning himself to Canadian League. The guy is going to be out of the NFL in couple years.
Kaep interview skill is similar to his play on the field.
Colin… living up to his moniker –
Mr. Sack ‘N Pick.
ON THE FIRST PLAY FROM SCRIMMAGE..!!!
my, my, my.
And the Raiders lead 3 – 0.
Coach Harbaw, your boy sucks eggs, okay?
Trade time. Trade time. Trade time.
(aka gobble, gobble, gobble)
Raiders ….Please take Harbaugh and Roman
sure glad they looked good in practice because they look like crap here
Harbaugh and Roman ..Please resign after this game
Great recognition by Justin Smith on the double screen.
Do you think Roman will call another run play this game?
Let’s go. Establish Gore on inside trap.
Read my blog. MY BLOG. I have answers to all your burning questions.
Go trips away with counter motion
Defense and special teams will have to win this game…much like many this year.
Kap is better of pap
English?
22 personnel runs key
Wtf was that? This is not College Football.
Hyde runs something besides a stretch left on his first play on the game.
Give him the ball sooner in the flat. Fading away on that throw and late.
Touchdown. ! .
It should stand. Nice drive by niner offense…
Master Bruuuuuuce
Davis contributes nicely too on the drive.
Bruce Miller is the MAN!
Stop trolling
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Wow. Just trying to bring some positive energy to the team. Tired of all the drama!
Dontae Johnson is getting picked on right now
another wasted time out. so far one delay of game one wasted time out
Too many checks. Looked like he got the t.o. off in time.
Davis was still in motion he couldn’t snap the ball. You are right on too many checks.
Thank God for Phil Dawson
