| (MySportsbook) - Off to their worst start in 31 years and with questions at the quarterback spot, the San Francisco 49ers take a sixth stab at their first victory of the season when they host the Oakland Raiders this Sunday in a battle of Bay Area inhabitants at Candlestick Park. The 49ers have lost five straight to open a season for the first time since dropping their first seven games of the 1979 campaign. San Francisco finished that year 2-14 under Bill Walsh.

McCoy, who played with a broken rib in last week's win over the San Francisco 49ers and will do the same Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons at home, is off to a great start ... whether he knows it or not.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - The San Francisco 49ers are quickly catching on to the philosophical shift new coordinator Michael Johnson has brought to their offense. Johnson took control when Jimmy Raye was fired by the team Sept. 27, and two weeks later the San Francisco offense already appears more potent and capable of striking at opponents in an increased variety of ways. Keeping in tune with the run-oriented mandate of head coach Mike Singletary, Johnson is finding ways to spread the field and get more o |

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - Oakland Raiders quarterback Bruce Gradkowski missed practice for a second straight day with an injured shoulder and running back Darren McFadden says he is questionable for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers with a hamstring injury. Gradkowski was knocked out last week after taking a hard hit on his shoulder from San Diego's Shaun Phillips. Coach Tom Cable said Thursday that unless Gradkowski was able to practice Friday he will not play against the Niners this week. McFadde |

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - It has been 31 years since the San Francisco 49ers have been this bad.

Two seasons later, the 49ers won their first of three Super Bowls under the late Hall of Fame coach. This team is coming apart in every way in coach Mike Singletary's second full season in charge.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers should look into sharing a new stadium. Both teams currently play in out-of-date stadiums. In June, voters in Santa Clara signed off on a plan to build a 68,500-seat stadium in the city for the 49ers. The Raiders have no current plans to leave the Coliseum. Speaking at halftime of the Raiders game against San Diego, Goodell says he would encourage the two teams to look into sharing a stadium like the New Y |
