Is it me? Why am I not very worried about Detroit? Suh is a beast, and Mergatroid is outstanding. After that? Ehhhh . . . Frankly, I think the Niners can win this game. Not easy, by any means, but something in the area of 28-17. Some shit like that. Stafford, among all his slow starts and comebacks, is fairly inconsistent. Detroit’s running game doesn’t worry me that much, and they haven’t exactly played a boatload of stellar opponents, either. Chicago was their toughest foe, and among all that ineptitude on the Bears’ part, Chicago was in it most of the way. Lost in Detroit’s win were a shitload of penalties called on them, a lot of missed passes, and the home run to Mergs.
Detroit may get another big play out of him, but the key is to take advantage of all the other opportunities they seem to offer up. They are going to pass a lot, so I’m thinking the Niners will play a lot of nickel and also have Aldon Smith in while they primarily run a 4-3 defense. This puts the onus on the linebackers to watch for screens and delays. That being said, Bowman and Willis are both in the top 7 in tackles, and they are doing a great job of staying at home and not overpursuing plays. A vast difference from last year. How they rotate these guys around as they go from 3-4 to 4-3 will be something to watch. The secondary has made geat strides, even from the start of the year. As many yards as the Eagles gained in the air, the DBs were making plays downfield. And they were tackling guys after catches. The TB game was a study in tight coverage.
The Niners defense is gaining a reputation as a tough, hard-hitting unit. Laying the bricks on Mergatroid may slow him down a hair. I thnk they should jam CJ early and often. Culliver has good size to match up with him on the line. Jam him with help over the top, and they can minimize his impact. I have the same feeling about this game as I did about the Tampa Bay game. They are both good, but I think we out-play and out-coach them. God, what a weird feeling. It has been too long.
Forty Niners Forever 
What’s your end-game Dennis? Hoping Smith flames out? Right. Hoping the Niners screw up another season? Crowing about Alex having a bad day? Really? Do you think Smith going down now would help the team? If Smith goes down now, say good bye to the playoffs this year, and quite possibly next year. 3 years down the road, who knows what happens? For all the talk of one and done this year, one and done is better than none and done on 1/1. You know what might happen? Smith takes this team to the playoffs, has some success, and the Niners sign him to a 2 year deal. Let me be the first to say, wrap your head around that, skippy. That is, if it doesn’t explode.
“His (Smith) career QBR is 74.6 Romo’s? 95.3.” Your quote. How’s about this year, Dillmar?
104.1 to 92.9. It doesn’t count THIS year? How fucking obtuse of you.
No, Upchuck, it DOES count this year. Those are the current QBR’s for both Smith and Romo as of today. If you recall, Smith entered the year with a QBR of 72.something. I guess my angle isn’t as obtuse as yours. Hello, 179 degrees.
And you’re one to talk. You’re a bigger waffler than the short order cooks at I-Hop. During the off and preseason you were doubting and railing on Smith’s ass almost (I said ALMOST) as much as I was. Now he plays six good quarters and all is well in Dixie? Hello, Mr. Leopard. I guess the people were wrong, you can change your spots. I haven’t seen anyone jump back on a bandwagon that fast since the Clydesdale horses rolled through town after they Repealed Prohibition.
And one last thing. You can question my bull and horseshit all you want, but don’t question my integrity. That slap you took at me in our fantasy league was out of line. I may not run the best league, but it’s fair, honest and hopefully droll, witty and sometimes downright hilarious.
Shit. Between you calling me a cheat and TF calling me a liar, sounds like you two want me to go bunk with Bernie Madoff. I wasn’t made for prison. I’m too goddamn good looking.
we can’t question your integrity? Ha, that’s a laugh, I explained this to your drunk ass last night but you didn’t understand it: Men that I honor can admit when they are wrong, with dignity. Anyone can be right or *win* and celebrate, that’s just easy human nature. But when you turn out to be a dumbass over some dumb fuck things you’ve said or done, then it’s time to say “yes, you were right. I was a dickhead dumbshit dumbfuck on that particular issue.” But you don’t get that from Death Threat Denny. Just more of the same manufactured idiocy. Actually, now it’s become entertainment for me so keep it up. And you can’t argue with anyone, that’s been proven in the archives, you haven’t once EVER refuted a debate successfully. We get a lot of “I’ve learned you can’t change anyone’s minds” and “you’re entitled to you’re opinion” and “death threats” and “mooks” and stupid ass videos. THAT is what your retorts are. Why do others bother formulating arguments? I dunno, it’s funny to watch you diddle around with all that other shit….
Flav, first off, you’re not perceptive at all. ” I explained this to your drunk ass last night ” Sorry, Charlie. I didn’t have a goddamn thing to drink yesterday. Tonight? I’m goddamn drunk. You’d make a bad Sam Spade. Hell, you’d make a bad Sam Spear for that matter.
And just what is it that you want me to admit? Obviously you think I was wrong in some regard, but what? I think you’re confusing actions and feelings. I only acted on the way I felt, the way I spoke from my heart. That is mine and mine alone. You can call a person on their actions, but not their feelings. Ant definitely not on their emotions.
Flav, you’re trying to change the way I feel about something.
Not going to happen.
What happened then Dennis? I put in a waiver claim on Graham 2 days ago. You ended up with Graham.
