The 49ers could be playing in some extreme weather on Sunday in Buffalo. And they might not have an experienced player back returning punts.

It’s been a busy few days, so I decided to use a quiet Thanksgiving morning to take a closer look at the 49ers’ offensive line play from the game against the Cowboys. * * * Here’s some Thanksgiving reading for you: Clements has already forgotten Dallas and Equipment staff preparing for everything in Buffalo. * * *
Singletary and his role in game-planning
This is the fifth time the 49ers have game-planned for an opponent during Mike Singletary’s tenure as head coach. I was curious about the approach Singletary takes during those days.

Niners interim head coach Mike Singletary answered questions about the state of the team and its 35-22 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. * * * Here’s my game story, “Owens, Cowboys trounce 49ers.” * * *
Niners’ red-zone failures doom them in loss to Cowboys
The 49ers led 6-0 at the end of one quarter. But — at that point — when the 49ers settled for two field goals, it was over. There was no way the Cowboys were going to lose this one.
Bloggin’ live from the 49ers-Cowboys game
Welcome to the Texas Stadium, where the 49ers are making their final appearance. Check here early and often for all the news and notes from today’s 49ers-Cowboys game.
Wakeup call: Early starts have not been fun for 49ers
Last week’s GPS game against the Seahawks Rams (or whichever dreadful team they played) established that the 49ers are not the worst team in the NFL. In fact, the 49ers would pick No. 7 overall if the draft were held today.
The ‘comps’ on Ratliff and Sopoaga look different now
In the past few days I’ve heard more about Cowboys nose tackle Jay Ratliff than I’ve heard about him during his first three-and-a-half seasons in the NFL – combined.
Willis misses second practice of the week
Linebacker Patrick Willis sat out Wednesday’s practice due to a hip strain. On Thursday, he was held out because of “some kind of bug.” But 49ers coach Mike Singletary said Willis will be available to play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.

What are 49ers options at QB in 2009?
Mike Singletary is the 49ers’ interim head coach. Shaun Hill is the interim starting quarterback. Whether they think about it in these terms or not, both men are auditioning in the final weeks of the season to remove the “interim” tags from their job titles in 2009.

Rookie Chilo Rachal might get his first NFL start on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, 49ers coach Mike Singletary said this morning. Rachal has split time in the past two games at right guard with Tony Wragge.
No go for T.O. on today’s conference call
Had to throw away that list of questions that I prepared for today’s scheduled conference call with Cowboys WR Terrell Owens. Instead, it was Tony Romo who got on the call this morning with most of the media who cover the 49ers.
T.O. under the weather, so . . .
Just got a call from the Cowboys. Terrell Owens is sick today, we’re told, so he might not be able to do the conference call. The call is scheduled to begin in just a few minutes. If Owens can’t go, QB Tony Romo will take our call instead.
Jennings on IR, time with 49ers likely finished
The 49ers placed Jonas Jennings on injured reserve today, likely bringing a close to the oft-injured tackle’s career with the club.
‘Will you accept a collect call from T.O.?’: Absolutely!
I have breakfast plans for tomorrow. Good ol’ T.O. is scheduled for a visit.
