He threw five picks last week against the Minnesota Vikings and truthfully did nothing to warrant keeping the job against the Birds. UP NEXT The Rams have a strong chance at victory this week as they host the 2-12 San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are dreadful, but are in the hunt for the No. 1 pick in the draft and the shot at USC's Reggie Bush. |

(But) as the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, I am not a fan.'' But just to keep fans' minds percolating, Nolan acknowledged the 49ers definitely would have the salary cap room and the financial backing from owner John York to sign another No. 1 pick, just one year after giving $24 million i |

| Santa Clara, CA (MySportsbook) - San Francisco 49ers running back Kevan Barlow will miss Sunday's game at Jacksonville because of a bruised left knee.

He missed a Week 13 loss to Arizona before returning to action last week against Seattle, but managed only 33 yards on 11 attempts. Rookie Frank Gore and Maurice Hicks expect to receive the bulk of the carries against the Jaguars in Barlow's absence |

Seattle routed the Eagles, 42-0, in Philadelphia on Monday night two weeks ago and followed that up with this past Sunday's 41-3 home triumph over the San Francisco 49ers. Seattle has already clinched the NFC West title, but still has motivation. The Seahawks can clinch a first-round bye in the postseason with a win and can secure homefield advantage throughout the NFC playoffs with a victory and a Chicago loss. The |

| (MySportsbook) - The Jaguars continue their push for the playoffs this Sunday, as they host the floundering San Francisco 49ers at ALLTEL Stadium. Jacksonville had its five-game winning halted this past weekend, dropping a 26-18 decision to the 13-0 Indianapolis Colts. The Colts' dominance this season has ruined the Jags' opportunity for a division title, but Jack Del Rio's club is still in the hunt for a wild card berth. In fact, as the conference's only 9-4 team, Jacksonville leads the race for the top wild c |
