Smith’s near-perfect night helps 49ers open two-game lead in West

By: Bob Baum 10/29/12 11:23 PM
Three touchdown passes, one incomplete pass. Not a bad night for Alex Smith, and it could have been better, considering that the one incomplete pass was dropped by a wide-open receiver. The San Francisco quarterback completed 18 of 19 passes for 232 yards and three touchdowns — two to Michael Crabtree and one to Randy Moss — to help San Francisco flatten the Arizona Cardinals 24-3 on Monday night.

The pass rusher in Aldon Smith is getting a little more excited than usual this week.

NFC West lead on the line for 49ers

Last October, the 49ers were all alone in first place and already on their way to winning the NFC West title in commanding fashion in coach Jim Harbaugh’s first season. That’s hardly the case this year as they prepare for their division opener at home tonight against the Seattle Seahawks: There’s a three-way tie at the top among 4-2 teams Arizona, San Francisco and Seattle.

San Francisco closer to hosting far-flung Super Bowl

By: Dan Schreiber 10/16/12 8:32 PM
The National Football League has chosen San Francisco as one of two finalists to host the 2016 or 2017 Super Bowl — although the game would be played 50 miles south of The City at the 49ers’ new home in Santa Clara.

49ers can’t afford to dwell on ugly loss against New York Giants

By: The Associated Press 10/15/12 8:26 PM
Jim Harbaugh didn’t spend any time wallowing Monday after the most lopsided loss in his two seasons as coach of the 49ers.

New York Giants defeat 49ers 26-3 in hyped rematch

By: Antonio Gonzalez 10/14/12 7:29 PM
Jim Harbaugh had no shortage of words before his 49ers faced the New York Giants again. After the Niners had been smashed more than they ever had in his tenure, the second-year coach kept his comments to a minimum. “It wasn’t a great day for any of us,” he said. Alex Smith threw three interceptions in his worst start in almost three years, and the 49ers fell 26-3 to the Giants on Sunday at Candlestick Park in a rematch of last season’s NFC Championship Game.

Niners out for revenge against New York Giants

By: Janie McCauley 10/11/12 6:23 PM
Alex Smith, Carlos Rogers and Kyle Williams acknowledge what some of their other San Francisco teammates might not: Today’s rematch with the New York Giants absolutely means a little more to the 49ers.

Alex Smith
Niners fans are no longer booing Alex Smith and calling for his backup. “Seems like a long time ago, longer than two years ago, for sure,” Smith said Wednesday when reminded of some of those lower points in his career. Things are going so well these days the quarterback got the chance to meet President Barack Obama this week — and the president had been keeping tabs on his team’s progress to boot. Read More

Williams, 49ers prepare for rematch with Giants

By: Josh Dubow 10/09/12 7:50 PM
Kyle Williams circled this week’s game against the New York Giants as soon as the NFL schedule was released in April. He and his 49ers teammates have some unfinished business against the Super Bowl champions. Williams’ two turnovers on punt returns played a key role in helping the Giants win last season’s NFC Championship Game 20-17 in overtime, costing San Francisco a trip to the Super Bowl. Read More
