SAN FRANCISCO -- Frank Gore has never reached the post-season. Seb Hines Jersey . Same goes for Alex Smith and Patrick Willis. Vernon Davis, too. Some of San Franciscos biggest stars are on the cusp of getting there at last. A win Sunday against St. Louis -- or losses by Seattle and Arizona -- would wrap up the Niners first NFC West crown and playoff berth since 2002. Needless to say, this is one week when the word playoffs is not off limits as a talking point for coach Jim Harbaughs focused bunch. And in this case, it doesnt go against Harbaughs credo regarding looking too far ahead. "Absolutely, were talking about it," Smith said. "For anyone whos only been here, obviously this is new territory for us," the quarterback said. "Something weve talked about every year and now all of a sudden to have it in our hands and the chance to clinch, its great. No question, this is what you work so hard for. Weve put ourselves in a good situation and now we just need to go out on Sunday and finish it." Harbaugh is using it as motivation for the first-place Niners (9-2), who were eager to return to work after a 16-6 Thanksgiving night loss at Baltimore to Harbaughs big brother, John. "Its my seventh year here. To be in a position like this is great," Gore said. Beating the Rams will lock up the spot San Francisco has known it will have for weeks. The 49ers are playing for post-season positioning, too. If they stay on task over the seasons final month, San Francisco will secure a first-round bye. "Whenever you have the opportunity to close something out, youve got to do it as soon as possible," said centre Jonathan Goodwin, who won a ring with the Saints two years ago. "As long as theres still hope for other teams, they still have a chance. Its important to close things out right away. You never know what can happen in this league. As soon as you get the opportunity to finish something, you need to." Gore could be headed for a double dose of celebration Sunday. The two-time Pro Bowl running back has 7,323 career yards rushing and needs only 22 to pass the late Hall of Famer Joe Perry (7,344) for most in franchise history. Harbaugh is all for his players gearing up for the Rams (2-9) by thinking about their next step: playoffs in January. Only long-snapper Brian Jennings was part of the last 49ers post-season team in 2002. "Sure, not just allow it but encourage it. How do you know where youre going to get to if you dont know what the goal is or where you stand?" Harbaugh said. Before the season, St. Louis was widely considered a contender to win a division known as the NFC Worst last year -- when Seattle won at 7-9, the first division winner with a losing record. Quarterback Sam Bradford has taken his lumps. He has fumbled 10 times and lost a league-leading seven, five on sacks. "Ive never had a season like this before where things dont go your way so many weeks in a row," Bradford said. "But no matter what happens, especially with the quarterback position, you cant lose confidence. I still have all the confidence in the world in myself and my teammates. Every week when we install the game plan on Tuesday night and Im with (offensive co-ordinator) Josh (McDaniels), I look at it and Im like, Gosh weve got some good stuff and were going to tear it up this week." St. Louis will have two shots at playing spoiler against San Francisco: The teams place twice over the final five games, including in the season finale Jan. 1 at the Edward Jones Dome. Coach Steve Spagnuolo isnt about to go back and point to every single thing that has gone wrong for his Rams, from all the injuries to missed chances and mistakes. He would rather not see the 49ers win the division this week. Its that simple. No analysis needed at this stage. "Im not a crystal ball guy. I know we have a game against the 49ers this weekend. The rest of it Im not wrapping myself in," Spagnuolo said. "Were just trying to find a way to win a football game." The 49ers have had ample prep time for the Rams. Players had last weekend off after a quick turnaround from a win against Arizona on Nov. 20 to flying cross-country to face the Ravens four days later. Harbaugh would join George Seifert (1989) and Steve Mariucci (1997) as the only rookie head coaches in franchise history to win the NFC West in their first year. While many expected Harbaughs influence to revitalize the franchise, San Francisco has exceeded expectations. Spagnuolo knows Harbaugh has been the difference for a team that is unbeaten in its last nine home games against division opponents. "A lot of the personnels the same. I know I counted up a lot of guys, same guys we played in the second-to-the-last game of the season last year, and yet I think theyve been very, very productive," Spagnuolo said. "They find ways to control the football. Weve got a lot of respect for them." Aside from finally getting back to the playoffs, that 25-17 loss at St. Louis in Week 16 last year is still plenty fresh. It was after that defeat when the 49ers fired Mike Singletary. Defensive line coach Jim Tomsula took over as interim coach for the final game -- a win against the Seahawks -- and then Harbaugh came aboard in early January in a high-profile hiring from nearby Stanford. Smith, sacked nine times against the Ravens, didnt start that must-win game with the Rams last Dec. 26 as Singletary went with now-departed Troy Smith. Considering the roll these Niners are on, that all seems so long ago. Yet linebacker Parys Haralson can find some parallels when it comes to bouncing back. "You never want to lose but it also makes you tighten out on things you probably got lazy on, or see some things," he said. "Any time after a loss you dont like that feeling, so youre eager to go into the next week and try to improve and try to get a win. Thats what I think this team will do."

Louis Rams had some fun during the coin toss of Sunday’s game at the expense of the Washington Redskins.It shouldnt come as a disappointment anymore for England supporters. They are used to this. Losing. It isnt underachieving when the team isnt good enough. This is as good as it gets. Whenever Englands Brazilian journey comes to an end (they havent been eliminated, yet) the diehard support and those responsible for overseeing English football will hold on to the positive moments. Flashes of ability and promise are what constitute hope. "They werent that bad" is excused as progress. The play of the likes of Sturridge and Sterling, and the futures of Barkley and Shaw will be used as evidence brighter days ahead. Yawn. Weve heard this before. Weve done this song and dance. The days of a semi-final shoot-out loss in Italia 90 are long gone. Lets not go back to 1966. The failures have piled on, one less painful than the next. Success would be a surprise. Losses to more intelligent and superior football nations are the expectation. The English should be immune from the feeling of devastation or outrage. From a Golden Generation not good enough, to the likes of Rooney, Lampard and Gerrard who have failed to capture the imagination. Its a vicious cycle of mediocrity. A 2-1 loss to Uruguay is just the latest chapter. England was poor. Nothing new. The how it happened is what drives home the obvious. Too weak in too many areas and lacking true top talent to break down their competition. Out-managed. Out-witted. Out-classed. Uruguay only completed a pathetic 64 per cent of passes. The South Americans struggled in build up and were content to sit back. It was an astute page out of Italys book from Englands opening match; sit-back and force England to break you down. Dont get beat for speed. And counter-attack. Thats what Uruguay did, and credit for executing. They got stuck in and remained organized. Forget basic statistics telling you England dominated possession with Uruguay on the back-foot. It was calculated. It worked to perfection. A basic approach against a basic team. Simple. The game winning goal incredibly came directly from the Uruguayan goalkeeper Fernando Muslera. A ball put on the ground and a long ball played out. Simple to defend, right? Apparently not. Edinson Cavani dropped deep all match to expose long-in-the-tooth Steven Gerrard sitting on top of the England backline. For what the England captain has in experience, he lacks in legs because of the kilometers accumulated. Cavanis aerial challenge of Gerrard forced a wayward header backwards from the England midfielder. Luis Suarez, as proper poachers do, tucked in behind the backline looking for an advantage. He gambled and he won, as Gary Cahill got caught. Suarez was clinical in finish and again showed his special talent. A game breaker and match winner, something England doesnt have. Likewise on Suarez opener, he exposed Englands backline. The Uruguayan number nine did well to create the needed space on the far post behind Phil Jagielka. The ball played to Suarez by Cavani was all-world. But it was two Uruguayan players on six England defenders. Nobody put pressure on the ball. And to leave Suarez lurking on the far post wasnt good enough. Not to mention is was a missed tackle by Gerrard in the midfield, leading to the attack. Two England centre-backs and two mistakes leading to goals conceded. Cahill and Jagielka are experienced at the position, at least at the club level. They are the best in the country at the position and they were exposed. The best England has at an all-important position and not good enough. Its the same story at the other end of the field. Not good enough. Wayne Rooney and Daniel Sturridge are more than fine players. They are very good. But they are not at the same levels of other top forwards in this tournament, let alone not the top forwards on their own club teams. Therein is the difference. The likes of Rooney and Sturridge require real substance around them to be at their best, and thats fine. They are better the complimentary piece rather than the focus at this level. p; When played appropriately, they can shine. Harrison Heath Orlando City SC Jersey. In this England team, their play often times is representative of the whole. These are the best England has and they are not good enough. The midfield, a make-shift, comprised of decent parts with no direction on how its supposed to work. Jordan Henderson had a fine season on a good attacking Liverpool team. Yet something suggests he has the makings of becoming the next Sinclair, Wright-Phillips, Mills, or Parker – take your pick of the long list of players youll ask, "Did he really play for England?" Is he really the best England really has? The rest of the midfield is all over the place. The left-side exposed defensively and the movement in attack not creative or consistent. Passing the ball around without purpose wont break down a back line. Its no surprise this area of the field is stagnant and lacks influence. And the manager, oh the manager. Roy Hodgson saw fit to keep Englands double-pivot of Gerrard and Henderson on the field in a game begging for attacking players to breakdown the Uruguayan defensive wall. Comically, two holding players were preferable to keeping on Sterling or Welbeck, or even throwing on a Rickie Lambert until after England went down. The options at Hodgson arent flattering. But neither were the tactics. The very least Hodgson could have done was shuffle the deck. Bring off a defensive midfielder or ineffective wing-back in preference of another attacking player. Change the shape. Instead, the end result of a cautious approach was not good enough. Some will suggest Ashley Cole and Jermain Defoe should have been in the England set-up. Leighton Baines has struggled and another forward option off the bench could have proved decisive. Arguments can be made but how much of a difference they would have made most likely would have been negligible. It made more sense to include Michael Carrick in the squad as a holding midfielder able to provide distribution. But then again, this is a country deeming Paul Scholes not a proper fit to be an England regular over the course of his career. The best England had, but not good enough? Theres a pattern here. Selection issues are nothing new. But no matter who dons the England kit, are they ever good enough? There have been phenomenal performances over the course of the first week of the World Cup, both by individuals and team. Honest assessment would tell the standard of football played by the true top football nations is a step beyond England. Its all very disturbing considering important players for the likes of Chile and Colombia (etc&hellip are buried in the League Championship, or in some cases not deemed good enough for even that. This should trouble the English to the core. But it wont. Overrating their own talent has become a past-time and feeds the beast. Criticism and finding scapegoats has become a past time. In reality, these are the best players they have. And they are not good enough. The Premier League is the most entertaining league in the world and the most popular. It is not the best. Englands best players are not even the top talent in their own domestic league. Taking a look in the mirror doesnt always cast a pretty reflection. But the look in the mirror is necessary. Acceptance is needed. This was a day England will never have a better context to beat a Uruguay team as such on a stage made for a statement performance. The weather was an ideal 14 degrees Celsius for the hardened English. The opponent was missing two of their preferred back-four. The star player was not 100 per cent. And Uruguays confidence was shaky coming off a shock 3-1 loss. England didnt let it slip away. They were incapable of seizing the moment. It is possible England can still advance from the group stage, even though a team losing their first two games at a World Cup has never done so. Italy must beat Costa Rica then Uruguay, and England will need a comprehensive victory over the Ticos to have superior goal differential. But really, would that constitute success? Squeaking by would be as good as it gets for a team not good enough. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
