Game Time! TB Or Bust . . .

Big game fro the 49ers. Pitfall game, progress game, all that noise. Truly a GPS game, to coin a phrase. Apparently Philly is in a irreversible death spiral. They are down 31-24 in the 4th quarter. Unless they pull it out, they’ll be 1-4. Crazy. Da Raiders are trying to beat a tough Houson team on the road. Pittsburgh is wakng up from their malaise. Indy’s fighting for its first win. Gotta love the NFL.

The situation is what it has been. Keep Alex protected, and run block to the 2nd level. Get pressure with the front 7. RJF has some shoes to fill today. Frankly, I really didn’t think Soap was going to do as well as he has. I’m sure theyy’ll keep up the rotations on the D line to keep everyone fresh with D Dobbs and Ian Williams.

Hopefully the fans in attendance will be predominantly 49er fans today.

  17. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Fucking Seattle got a lucky late tip ball for a Pick 6. The Giants are going down at home. About 50% of the bettors selected NYG in their “Suicide Pool.”

    Welcome to my ledge.

    Nice game and W by the Ginger today for the Bungles. We’re gonna rue the day we didn’t move up enough to select him instead of the mook from Nevada.

    That was a great coverage disguise by Fangio and Co. Freeman read single coverage when in fact it was Cover 2.

    Another INT! Culliver! How did he do that!?!!?!

    Blow out. Chuck Harbaugh musta heard ya

  32. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    Dennis, they are the guys you couldn’t see because you were blinded by hatred of the qb. I said a few days ago they I thought we’d handle the bucs pretty easily. No surprise, really.

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

      Flav, I’m not blind, and I still hate the QB. The Niners will never win a championship with him at the helm let alone a playoff game.

      • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

        You’re an idiot. That’s 3rd grader thinking. You don’t have Joe Montana so you’re off to be a fan of the cowboys. As a fan, you sicken me. Try enjoying something in your life one time. Something tells me that being negative about everything probably isn’t working out too well for you.

      • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

        Fuck you. Don’t you even begin to tell me how to be a 49er fan. Were you there at the “Catch Game?” Were you in Pontiac for SB XVI? I don’t think so. Have you been sent to jail twice because of the 49ers? Have you been sent to the ER thrice because of this team? I don’t think so.

        Don’t you or anyone else ever question my loyalty to this team. I literally live and die with the 49ers. Don’t you forget it.

      • phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

        Schtick, that’s his M.O. I’m guessing

      • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

        You are not a fan Dennis. I don’t care how many games you went to 30 years ago. Every week you predict the Niners will get blown out, almost hoping for it. You’ve got a butt love affection for Romo for no reason and you are clearly a cowboy fan now. Sorry, you might have been a niner fan along time ago, but you openly root against the qb. The obvious conclusion is that you’re rooting against the team.

      • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

        For some reason my response to this drivel didn’t post. You were a fan a long time ago dude, not anymore. You openly predict and seem to root for the Niners to get blown out every week. You want to kill the qb and openly root against him. How can you be a fan if u want the qb to fail (or die)? You are a cowboys fan noe as many of your posts indicate.

      • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

        Good for you, Dennis. How many teams has Promo brought to the Super Bowl?

        Well, we’re waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaating . . .

    Yee Haw, I’m getting a feed on Justin TV. Chuck, I hope you don’t mind if I crash your party here and Dennis, what do you have to say.

  35. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Plenty of room here Boz. These guys are playing lie I thought. Aggressive. On both sides of the bakll. Crazy thing is, the blocking so coming around nicely. Rachal made a nice block, Iupati on the TD run as well.

  36. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Poor Dennis. Can’t enjoy this?

    Yer getting as irrelevant as V.

    Aldon with the sack . . .

    Ginn 20 yards . . .

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

      I’m irrelevant? That’s why all the hostile comments and general vitriol is send my way — because I’m irrelevant. I don’t give a flying Arnold The Pig fuck what the response is. Believe it or not, I have a few other problems more relevant then how people perceive my rooting interest for the 49ers.

  37. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    Dennis would rather be a stubborn mule instead admit he didn’t know wtf he was talking about. it always amazes me that there are people out there who go out of their way to be unhappy.

        Fine, then shit all over the Niners for winning.

        I know you are going thorugh something, but the hate directedf at the team is ludicrous when you see what they are doing.

        You picked 1-4. They are likely 4-1. Yet all you do is complain. Use this as an escape, not a forum to whine.

      • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

        respectfully, this is the POTD……

    Seattle might actually start playing well now that Tavaris got hurt. They took it to the Giants . . .

  39. grumpyguy's avatar grumpyguy says:

    Best first half performance by the 49ers in a long, LONG time.

    Alex is having a very, very solid game. If Delanie had not lost that ball in the air, this would be a 4-TD lead now.

    DBs are playing well – Culliver got his first pick, here’s to hoping it’ll be the first of many more.

  40. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    I tell ya, it’s something that Harbaugh is giving the guys mroe and more weapons every week. Deep middle, slants, WR sweeps, all inds of new and different things.

    ‘We ain’t here to fool ’em’ is LONG gone . . .

    Chuck why the can’t I respond to Denis, I’ve tried twice and it’s not showing up. Do you have a slew of banned words or something?

    Chuck, I got a “server maintenance” message on my previous comment. It still went through, but it said I needed to wait 5 mins before I could hit the refresh button to send it in. Something you doing on your end, or a glitz on mine?

  45. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    What’s nutz is they are all of a sudden a ball-hawking secondary. The coverage is tight, even downfield, and they are tipping balls and breaking up passes.

    AND we get the ball to open the 2nd half.

  46. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    I don;t know. I;m geting that shit messsage too.

  47. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Looks like the 48 pt spread for Chuck on the FF line wasn’t enough.
    You’re projected to lose by 84. Have you been taking hints from Spit and Rob?

      (posting error cleared up)

  50. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    well, I’m not sure where my posts to Dennis went. I’ll try again down here. Dennis, I can see why you’re upset at me, I would be too if someone *told* me I wasn’t a fan of the team I grew up rooting for…..
    So instead of telling you that you aren’t a fan I’ll just re-state what we see from you every week…..
    1) you consistently predict the Niners will get blown out offering up absurd teaser spreads that, so far, have made you look like an idiot
    2) you not only root against the QB but you wish him dead. I’m not sure how you expect to win games if your predictions hopes and dreams that he sucks comes to pass. Thankfully, that’s another thing you’ve been wrong about.
    3) You have a weird obsession with Tony Romo and you clearly seem to be rooting for them on a weekly basis.
    4) you never admit when you’re wrong and you can’t enjoy anything positive for even a second. This doesn’t have anything to do or not do with being a fan of the team, it’s just something that annoys me. You should get over that. Admitting you’re wrong about something is the fist step towards changing your reality. You have been steadfast in your *prediction* that Smith sucks and as early as today suggested the Niners wouldn’t make the playoffs, suggesting they buy tickets to a playoff game if they want to go to one. Later in the day, you make some absurd claim that the Niners will never win a SB with Smith qb’ing. I can’t tell you how stupid that makes you sound. You wouldn’t get it if I spent the time typing the words.
    So THAT is why you APPEAR to not be a fan of this team. I don’t give a shit if you were at the Catch game 30 years ago. that was then, Today? You are not a fan, dude……
    (I will copy this in case it goes to nowhereland, I’m not re-writing this a third time……..

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

      If that’s the way you feel, so be it. I’ve learned many moons ago never to question or try to change a person’s feeling. Their yours and yours alone. You feel one way, I feel another.

      • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

        “they’re” I started drinking at 8:30 this morning.
        I feel I’m still doing pretty damn well with my typing.

      • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

        well I went out of my way to support the claim I made earlier that you aren’t a fan, I would have appreciated a response from you that was more thoughtful than “if that’s how ya feel that’s how ya feel”.. I was trying to be respectful of the many years you have been a fan. But the way you write about the team now, sorry, that doesn’t sound like a fan to me……..

  51. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Yeah, baby. A good old-fashioned beat-down.

    I don’t think this could be working out any better than it is going so far.

    Unfuckingbelievable. This it good old 49er football. TB still can’t figure out how to stop anything.

    I reposted your posts, Flav. Not sure why they got dumped to spam.

    Not sure why this has gone unsaid, but the Niners coaches have outcoached the bucs coaches across the board today.

      Fantasy? Yeah I got that but gotta admit this beats all! Hell yeah

  58. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Chuck, you’re now projected to lose by 101 fantasy pts. Thank Christ you’re not the 49er GM. You’d have Nate Davis slinging the ball in between his coloring sessions…but my buddy, Rob, is looking good today. He’s opened up a can of whoop ass himself. Sorry that it’s had to come at your expense, Phil Fan.

    You know what happens if you lose to Rob? You get to sit in the same corner with Spit.

    • phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

      It’s okay, Rob’s a good guy, I’ll yield the fantasy glory in exchange for this win. Anyway I’m the guy who drafted the Rams QB instead of E Manning so I deserve to suffer, lol

  59. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Shit. I just remembered that Berger has Alex on his FF team. Wouldn’t that be funny if I lost to him because of Alex? I’d need to schedule an extra session with my therapist.

    • Kevin's avatar Kevin says:

      And here I was going to ask you Dennis if you could evaluate A Smiths game objectively. It looks like you still have issues with Mr Smith

  60. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    OK, I think it’s high time to bring in Kaep. Screw him getting some NFL exp., Alex is killing in the fantasy league.

    If that’s not ironic, i don’t know what is…

  61. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    Smith has had a very good game and a superb passer rating. He’ll likely be in the top 5 or 6 of all QB’s after the week is over.
    BUt he has had at least 3 or 4 passes that were not on the mark that, if thrown better, would have been scores or big gains. He’s lucky none were intercepted. I just wanted to point this out since there is a bogus perception out there that all I do is smoke Alex’s pole….

    • phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

      Actually enjoying seeing him have a game like this at home. Not surprised really. Good coaching helps just a little wouldn’t ya say?

      Kaep’s getting a chance too

  62. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Well, the pass to Crabs in the end zoner was a miscommunication. A couple were underthrown.

    All in all, though, not anything to complain about.

  63. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    I’m giving no mention to the NLCS Game. Looks like the Brew Crew are out-slugging the Cards. I could care less. Do you know how many people are watching that game right now while the NFL is in action? You could count ’em on two hands…

  64. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    The real improvement though is in the secondary. And the pass rush of the D line. This minimizes the risks the D has to take on blitzes.

    Losing Clements was key. Rogers has been outstanding. Culliver was very good today. All of a sudden the secondary is pretty solid. They gained confidence, believe it or not, in the game last week even though they gave up 415 yards..

    • phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

      And that putz Vick scored a ton of FF points to make me lose a close one. But again I’ll take reality and the win.

      D is awesome. Gonna be hard to beat at home this year

  65. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Hey! Just what I wanted to see — the mook from Nevada is in at QB.

    Jesus H. Christ that Kendall Hunter is fast. You guys can thank me later for my Senior Bowl practice insight that gave ya the heads up on this guy. He’s a keeper.

    • phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

      I’m sticking with my theory that you are a scout/personnel and fan motivator on the 49ers payroll. You don’t fool me Del Mar, I know what you’re doing. Admit it!!

    • phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

      Kaep gets a TD drive in his first action. Some mook. You got these other guys fooled but not me Del. Hyuk hyuk, quoting the chuckster

    • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

      If you get to be right about a single thing this year, I’m fine with that being the lone feather in your cap……

  66. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    48-3 holy fucking shit!

  67. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    What did we rush for today, 200 yards? Right around there. Hunter is a revelation and Frank Gore looks 3 times as fast this week as he did in previous weeks. “Hello, Identity”. It doesn’t hurt that we have the 5th or 6th highest rated QB in the league to fall back on…. 🙂

  68. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    Gentlemen, enjoy the big win and our team today.

    Phil out

  69. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    Well, Morgan paid for throwing deep up 41-3.

  70. grumpyguy's avatar grumpyguy says:

    Flav, it was not a perfect game by Alex, true. But very, very impressive still. I call it the best game of his career – in fact, his first “Complete Game”…. he was cool and in command from the first drive to garbage time. I am not one to care a gnat’s shit about QBR or yardage or other stats. Tell me how he looked. Tell me if he made the plays he NEEDED to make, all afternoon long. Tell me if he avoided the turnovers and converted on third and long when the game was close.

    Today, for maybe the first time, Alex passed the EYEBALL test. Not just for a drive or a quarter or a half, but all day long.

    His best game ever. Period.

    • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

      agreed. From start to finish, he was outstanding.
      I said it would take 6 weeks for this to take hold and it obviously happened sooner than that. In some weird way, that makes me wrong just like poor Dennis…….

      • grumpyguy's avatar grumpyguy says:

        The thing that is remarkable about Alex is his confidence right now. He obviously believes he can get the job done. I don’t think he felt that way the last few years. He is avoiding the killer mistakes, and even when he makes an error, comes back and makes plays, rather than hanging his head and walking dejectedly off the field. He looks like a whole different guy out there.

        I’d call it now 75% likely he stays in SF next year, and beyond. Startling turnaround from last December when it seemed he was gone no matter what.

  71. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Well, a very very satisfying win today. A beat down in every aspect of the game. A game we haven’t seen in these parts nigh since the Walsh days, if you believe the margin of victory. The blocking, so maligned 3 weeks ago, was exceptional against a supposedly tough front 7. The pass pro pitched a shutout and gained 205, and the Niners got 211 out of the run game. 125 for Gore.

    The defensive secondary, much maligned as well, and a defense that has been underwhelming, is suddenly a ball-hawking turnover machine. Plus 10 as of now. West coast killers, my ass. Can’t say enough about the change in attitude. For all of us who have been dogging the coaching staff for its ability to get less than the sum of its collective parts, this is validation. The team, minus the secondary, is fairly similar to the one trotted out there the last 2 years.

    Shame about Margan, though Hope he’s not hurt too bad.

  72. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    side bar: but can someone tell me what exactly Al Davis died from? For the last several years, every time I saw him on tv at a game he was in a wheel chair with a blanket covering him. I don’t know what that was about, either. I’ve read several stories about his death, including his Eulogy (or whatever that’s called when something is written about him soon after death) but I haven’t seen anything that indicated the cause of death……
    The scene of Jackson on his knees trying to force his tears from flowing was touching and something I’ll never forget……..

  73. grumpyguy's avatar grumpyguy says:

    Twin, the pass to Morgan was not deep. That was short at the right sideline. Morgan ran it to the goal line most of the 20 yards. Got tangled up at the goal line trying to get in. Just one of those things.

    The injury looked serious, probably an ankle. Hopefully not a season-ending thing, but it could be lengthy.

    Dominique Zeigler is still unsigned, if we need a guy with NFL experience who knows at least some of our offense.

  74. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Smith ends up 127.2. 170 yards. Not huge numbers, but nothing bigger than 3 TDs, 0 sacks, 0 picks.

    And yes, Smith was in command. Threw into tight coverage on the TD to to Walker to open the game. On the money. What I loved was the deep vross to Crabs, and the slants. Somthing I’ve been harping on for years now. Only a couple bad throws, and a miscommunication with Crabs? I’ll take it.

    Win the goddamn game.

  77. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    Smith is simply in an offense suited to assets he’s always had. It should come as no surprise that he’s played so well.
    QBR DOES mean something- it damn well has when it’s been not as good as now. And this shit about bad throws? Every fucking QB has them. Shit, they won but Campbell had about 8… Schaub half a dozen…Smith was great-period.

  78. Kevin's avatar Kevin says:

    Yeah and all the Alex Haters who said it does not matter how many OC he has had he should be better?? How does that Crow taste??

  79. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    Well, I guess I should take some of that back- obviously Harbaugh is totally responsible for Smith’s performance this year. So it was Jim who had a couple bad throws..

    • NoFear49er's avatar NoFear49er says:

      Such pomposity just encourages any criticism of Smith no matter how minor. But you already know that. You may like to invite argument as much as Dennis.

      Alex played a good game today.

      Don’t forget the rest of the integral parts that you usually like to mention. They had a good game, too.

      • twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

        “Don’t forget the rest of the integral parts that you usually like to mention. They had a good game, too.” Actually, since your kind has always assigned the team record to Smith when they were losing, I will not be crediting his “supporting cast”. Smith is now 4-1 this year..

        I’m just giving you a hard time. You’ve always supported Smith even when it was an impossible task. You deserve to gloat a little when he’s doing well.

        Remember though, everyone that reads here is happy to see the team doing good. Even the ones who critique their shortcomings when they’re not.

      • twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

        With Spitter gone, it is a much more reasonable group.Actually most of my sparring has been done on the Insider- and usually involves having to rebut falsehoods about his career, Hey, over here I only have to argue “decent”, over there he’s Ryan Leaf.

  80. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    Sorry to be so adamant about things- I’m just delighted to see Smith perform well and lead these last couple great wins. As Chuck knows, I’ve thought he’d be a top QB ever since he was drafted. Obviously that hasn’t worked out- and things have gone so poorly for him here, even I have the occasional feeling that it will go awry again- injury, whatever. Anyway, just a great win all around.

    yes, excellent win. went to the store, Niner fans heads were held high!!

    • twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

      It’s funny how begrudging in praise some are of what have clearly been excellent performances, especially the last two weeks- he was decent and got lucky bounces last week, today he was “good”. No, maybe your boy was good, Alex was excellent.If I’m crowing about it a little, tough shit. Just wait until he gets his extension….

  82. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    Smith is having the season he’s having for one single reason and it’s the reason I used to project a hopeful year for him in 2011: Harbaugh. Not only is Harbaugh teaching him shit (and that obvious watching his decision making) but he’s instilled a confidence in him that he’s never had, that all successful qb’s have to have (GrumpyGuy nailed that above).
    If Sing or Nolan or some other clueless coach was in charge of this operation you would not be seeing Smith perform this way. He’s got skills, obviously. He just needed the right coach and some confidence to translate it into success at the pro level……….

  83. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    And Dennis, I’m assuming you incessant first half blather from the Philly game about “Firing Harbaugh!” is another thing you’re ready to admit you were wrong about. Well, maybe not you, but another guy *like* you………

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

      Flav, I wanted Harbaugh fired after he made his intentions known he wanted to bring back Alex. I don’t waiver. This team can not, and will not win a championship with him at QB. I don’t care how well he’s played so far this year.

      Alex Smith is a fucking mook. That will never change.

      • twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

        “This team can not, and will not win a championship with him at QB” Actually, you’re already weaseling out of your prevous attacks-not long ago he was the worst, awful, terrible- now you’re just saying they won’t win the Super Bowl both him..

      • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

        I ain’t weaseling out of shit. I still think he’s a god awful pussy and mook. After he needed his campaign manager and resident bitch, Vernon Davis, to speak up for his ass last yr in that Philly game, I don’t know how any of my fellow Niner fans can root for him with good conscience. He wanted out of that game, and if not for Vernon, Singletary was going to bench his sorry ass. If that’s the type of leadership and drive you want in your QB, you take him. I want nothing to do with that gutless mook.

      • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

        And Dennis, twin is highlighting a perfect example of your WORST behavior in all of this. The death threats, eh, I just chalked that up to you being an idiot, I didn’t actually think you were going to kill Alex Smith. But to watch Smith rise from the ashes and succeed would be something that, as a supposed 49er fan, you might want to appreciate, regardless of what a fucking dumbass it makes you look like with said appreciation. But no, you ratchet up your prediction from “worst qb who I want to kill” to “he’ll never win a SB for the Niners.” Sorry dude, either you’re drunk or just stupid, but if you can’t see how idiotic that makes you look, I am finally and totally done talking about this. You just don’t understand any of this and I’ve accepted that. This is the last you’ll hear from me on the subject. Go back to your regularly scheduled “Mook” comments. Really clever that is, by the way………

      • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

        ha, you don’t know how they root for him? Hmmm, maybe because they are Niner fans and he’s been playing great this year? You’ve still never explained how you are rooting for him to fail while supposedly rooting for your *team* to win. After the beers wear off I’d love to hear that logic. God, just make the move over to the Cowboys blog and STFU already. I can’t believe I waste any time on discussing this with you, you just don’t have the capacities necessary to *get it*……..

      • twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

        Dennis is also lying about what happened in last year’s Philly game

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

      And I don’t have a problem with admitting I’m wrong. I’ve said it many times before. Unlike the leading Alex Smith apologist.

      And just what is it with people in general on blogs who constantly have to say, “I was right.” “I told you so.” Does that really help their self-esteem, ego and overall well being?

      “I told ya that RG from Oregon couldn’t play a lick.” They pound their chest when saying this while their wife or girlfriend is getting schtupped by their next-door-neighbor. “My children hate me and my wife cheats on me, but I told ya about that QB.”

      • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

        you can’t admit you’re wrong because you don’t even know what the hell we are talking about. The fact that you would obsess on some perceived encounter from LAST year, after I already explained to your dumbass that Harbaugh has given him a confidence he’s never had before, just shows me that you don’t even understand the most basic concepts of time.
        Hey dipshit, we are 4-1 and the guy who you wanted to kill has led us there. You said 1-4 (at least that’s what Chuck said you said, I didn’t verify that). So, exactly, is the dumb fucking mook?

      • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

        “at least that’s what Chuck said you said, I didn’t verify that”

  84. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    It’s Harbaugh to the extent that he’s installed a compatible system- and they can talk- they’re both smart, and both are QBs.Jim also knows what it’s like to strugggle with a shit team- he had very good and quite bad seasons in the NFL- but whatever, they obviously have a great relationship- what a difference from past years..

  85. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    In many ways, it’s the perfect coach/QB relationship. Harbaugh was always the *other* guy, the same guy Smith BECAME after the couple of years it took to realize he wasn’t going to be Joe Montana. , But Harbaugh kept forcing his way into starting jobs and after several years (hmmm, sound like anyone we know?) he finally turned his determination into success. But Harbaugh had something that Smith didn’t have, and that’s confidence. Who gives a shit if he didn’t have it before, he’s getting it now and that’s all I care about.
    I think Harbaugh sees himself in Smith and that’s why he took this project on and I think he knew this was going to work out if they had the opportunity to work together…….

    Here’s an idea phony-fan Dennis. Just keep telling us about the Catch game you went to and the fucking picture on your wall. If you think that makes you a fan then by all means, you are an epic fan, dude. But here’s tip, they’ve actually played some games since that year. Teams go in cycles. If all you are is some fair weather pussy who throws a tantrum when he doesn’t have Joe Montana as his QB then please, and I think I speak for the 49er fan base here, get the fuck out and go embrace your butt buddy Romo with both cheeks spread wide open………..

      This is some funny shit, Flav. What time do you open up at the Punch Line?
      I’ll take two down front. And don’t even think about watering down my drinks.

      • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

        More stupid bullshit from you. Do you ever mount an actual argument with facts about anything or is your vocabulary restricted to words like “mook” and “kill”? Honestly, I have no idea why i keep going, I have dinner on the table, I’ve even got a friend over tonight. And I am sitting here blathering away with you. Ok, I’ll stop. Shit, I said I’d stop before.
        Dennis, I’ve tried to engage you in some mature discussions that match facts vs facts. You have responded with a story about Smith from last year as well as a weird obsession with Romo. Neither makes much sense. But I’m not going to keep trying to explain this shit to you if those are your 2 arguments that I get over and over and over and fucking over again.
        You should talk to your therapist about why you’re such a negative, stubborn dumbass. Maybe put a team of therapists on that one. Move to Vienna if it would expediate the process. I clearly have no influence on you and while you might think I am being an asshole, I have tried to get you to see the most basic of concepts. Epic fail on my part. Hey, I own it. Try owning something one time……….

      if your take on this team before the season started in any way translates to an understanding of how to put together a fantasy football team I will go on record right now that you will be finishing in last place. And I don’t want to hear about your 3-1 record or whatever it is. You led the Flap league for a bit before fading into oblivion. You know Dennis, I don’t mind dissenting opinions. I’ve come to accept them quite easily. Yesterday, a blogger suggested that I was celebrating the Howard injury. Years ago, that would have sent me into a frothy attack. But I’ve changed, that shit doesn’t bother me anymore.
      What still absolutely bothers me are pussies who get proven wrong and who can’t fucking man-up and admit it. Here’s a question for you dumbshit: If the Niners won a SB with Smith QBing where do you go from there? That you are absolutely positively certain he’d never win 2? Just STFU about Smith already, every word you type just embarrasses yourself that much more……….

    Transcript from Kawakami on the Smith/Singetary blow up. Dennis is lying.
    ” Q: What happened when you were going to put Carr in but didn’t?

    Singletary: At that time I was contemplating putting David Carr(notes) in the game. And after talking to Alex, decided not to.

    Q: What did he say?

    Singletary: I’m not going to go through that. It’s [exchanges] we had on the sideline and it’s personal.

    Q: Were you mad at him?

    Singletary: Was I angry? (The question seemed pretty clear.)

    Q: You looked animated.

    Singletary: The bottom line is it’s something that we talked about and I’d rather keep it personal. (Still didn’t answer the clear question that was clarified.)

    Q: Did you change your mind because of what he said or the way he said it?

    Singletary: What he said.

    Q: How do you feel he responded?

    Singletary: He went in and scored.

    Q: Are you feeling better about him now?

    Singletary: I leave this game feeling disappointed that I think a pretty decent football team is 0-5. Disappointed for them because we put ourselves in this situation and only we can get ourselves out.

    Q: You thought about going with Carr because of what? To get Alex out of there?

    Singletary: I thought at the moment I really wanted to see what his response would be. More than anything, in a situation like that, a quarterback that has anything in him is going to have something to say about that. We’re in the situation, how do we get out of the situation? Hopefully you’re part of the solution.

    And I think in the conversation that we had, I felt he felt he was part of the solution. And we went forward from there.”

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

      Dennis is NOT lying. Vernon Davis convinced Alex to stay in the game…

      “As lousy as the fumble was, as erratically as Smith has played this season, as shaky as the 49ers’ once-bright future now appears, his teammates still had his back. As Smith walked away from Singletary after their meeting escalated into a low-melodrama shouting match, tight end Vernon Davis steered the sixth-year quarterback right back toward the embattled head coach.”

      After Alex walked away, Vernon “steered” him to go back.

      I’m a lot of things, but I’m not a liar. Don’t you ever call me that again you self-righteous pompous ass.

      • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

        Why is this an issue with you? You’re fucking obsessed with the past, man. You don’t have a clue about last year’s team or what went on. I’m assuming you are wetting your panties over a concern that Alex isn’t a leader? Ever heard what gore and Davis say about him? Forget words if you must, are you watching him lead this team this year? If anything you said made a lick of sense I’d back off but I’m sick and tired of your bullshit. I’m assuming everyone is. In a couple of years the cowboy blog guys will feel the same way…

  89. grumpyguy's avatar grumpyguy says:

    I don’t know that Alex will ever win a playoff game. No one can know that until he does or his career ends. I *DO* know he is playing the best football of his career, and that he is the only pony in this race, as far as your San Francisco 49ers are concerned. So unless the Green Bay Packers suddenly take leave of their goddamned senses and offer us Aaron Rodgers for Chilo Rachal and a case of Doctor York’s fucking water bottles, I’m not going to worry about that shit. I’ll just be happy to root for Alex to get as far as he can this year, and let the future take care of itself.

  90. grumpyguy's avatar grumpyguy says:

    Oh, and Twinnie, regardless of how much you hate me: I said last week was decent because Alex was middling first half, excellent second half. It was not really meant as an insult, ya mook (LOL). This time, no reservations or qualifications: he was outstanding, opening kickoff to baseball hat on the sideline. Alex’s best game as a pro. Superior from start to finish. Give him his due: this is the game he needed to prove to everyone that he can do it. Now he just needs to keep on keeping on.

    • twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

      I don’t hate you, I just think a lot of folks apply different standards when it’s Smith. You’ve got to think most big comebacks occur because the team and QB probably weren’t too hot early. I think Chuck brought up the NO 28 point comeback- I’d wager that Joe wasn’t doing too well when they were down 35-7. I don’t think I recall reading that Montana was decent in the comeback win…

  91. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    Why would anyone do anything BUT root for him? If he went down or was replaced, I’d be terribly disappointed but I’d root for the new QB

  92. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Where’s the bus to crazytown? Another epic win, the biggest since the Walsh era no less, and another bunch of blather about Alex and Sing’s argument last year?

    How’s Smith doing this year, Dennis? I’ll give ya a hint.

    Well, no I won’t, fuckwad. Deal with what you have to deal with, but enough with the whining about the past and bemoaning Smith. 4-1 was WAY off your radar. You should be thrilled. If you ain;t, then I don’t bother following the team.

    You are treading into V territory with the Montana talk and the bitching on the team while they are going well. Yeah, it’s for now, but this team looks real, and it is IMPROVING. No one has called Smith the 2nd coming. Least of all, you. However, he’s in the top 6, he’s close to a 100.0 rating, and is going well with a coach that gets QBs,

    If you don’t like or get that, oh well. Don’t watch, don’t post. Your crowning glory today was bitching about the time out Smith called in the 1st quarter. Bully.
