Why? Because he has yet to post a big game on the Cards. Hopefully this trend will continue...now the Niners did pick up this Wr from the Seahawks that has a history of being a Cardinal killer...I refuse to mention his name out of fear...he might suck against other teams but against us he has been golden.

He scares the the hell out of me. Especially if the Cardinals are playing from behind.

That was the first game. In the second game, we were more prepared for him. He had 51 yards rushing and 35 yards receiving. That's 86 total yards and he averaged over 135 yards per game last year. But the biggest thing to look at is that regardless of what he did, we won both games and as we all have been told, winning is the only thing that counts.

yeah, that's what I said - he went for 170 total and 2 tds in the first game. Still doesn't take away the fact that Jet's comment about him NEVER having a big game against us is false and reason for optimism.

Yes, we had one good game against him and one terrible game against him. You are correct that we did a better job against him in the second game. Still doesn't take away from the fact that Jet's contention that he's not scared of Gore because he's NEVER had a good game against is false.

But the biggest thing to look at is that regardless of what he did, we won both games and as we all have been told, winning is the only thing that counts.

you're right - winning is all that counts, but it's not what this thread was about. Is what about Frank Gore and what we've been able to do against him.

Sorry Cheese, but you can't count it as a good game unless they win, because as we all know, winning is the only thing that counts.;)

That's not a big game by Cardinals defense standards. :|

He may not scare you but I assure you he scares most defensive coaches in the league.

The guy is good.

my bad...

I give that to you Cheesebeef, but I guess the fact that the performance did not equate in a win for them...well, he does not scare me when I combine his performances against us. I really don't fear Jackson of the Rams either...Shawn Alexander scares the hell out of me...a lot of the games against him it looks like a track meet with our guys losing the race to the nice little orange sticks. But the way I phrased the post, your point is well taken. If someone asked me if Gore and Jackson where good backs, I would say your damn right...but their efforts against us hardly ever helped contribute to a win against us.

that's understandable. What scares me about him is he was able to do that when the Niners probably had the worst recieving core in the league and unfortunately, I believe they're offense got better while our defense got worse in the off-season, so I fear he can do even more now with reciveing threats out there. I'm really hoping our O can still dominate them though - I think our best shot to win is in a shootout. Monday can't get here fast enough!

Since I will have my paws wrapped around a beef samich with sweet peppers and a bottle of Goose Island, he don't scare me either. However if I were one of our Magnificent Eleven I might think twice.
