The Niners (0-2) lost a heartbreaker to New Orleans 22-25 on home turf. QB Alex Smith completed 23 of 32 passes for 275 yards with a TD, but he was intercepted twice. It was RB Frank Gore that was the Niners top producer with 20 carries for 112 yards with a TD. Gore produced his 21st career 100-yard rushing game, most in team history. They outpassed the Saints 275/237 and outran them 142/50 but couldn’t slow down the Saints in the final minutes. Going in to the season, the 49ers were thought to be the class of the weak NFC West after winning all four pre-season games. The 49ers made mistakes that cost them the game against the Saints but they looked much more dangerous than the team that got blown out by the Seahawks in the opener. The 49ers have their backs against the wall. Losing to the Chiefs Sunday will likely dash any hope they have of making the playoffs. Their offense goes through RB Frank Gore, but they must use their receivers against the Chiefs 25th ranked pass defense .
The Chiefs (2-0) won in Cleveland 16-14 and are 2-0 for the first time since 2005. QB Matt Cassel made 16 of 28 passes for 176 yards with no TD, but two interceptions. RB Thomas Jones had 22 carries for 83 yards and their lone TD came from CB Brandon Flowers 33 yard interception. Kicker Ryan Soccup kicked three field goals and is the toast of KC. "This win says a lot," Coach Haley said. "These guys are understanding what it is all about, and that's becoming a team. I'm not saying we're there yet, but we stuck together and won. This was a huge win to come in to a hostile environment against a team that was fighting. We started the process last year and are continuing it." Despite being 2-0, they still have a lot of work to do before they are ready to run with the big boys . Beating a tough but mistake prone 49ers team at home would be another step in the right direction for Todd Haley’s group of upstarts.
The Niners have a Week 4 BYE before coming back to face the most brutal part of their schedule with games on the road in Indianapolis and Houston. While anything can happen in the NFL, the Chiefs don’t look like the sort of team that can waltz in to Indi and beat Peyton Manning. That means the Chiefs need to take care of business at home against the 49ers or they could find themselves on the wrong side of .500 after playing the high powered Texans.
