At least I hope so. Busy weekend, so I’m getting this up early. Anyhow, I think this game will be the unveiling of the deep passing game. One that hasn’t clicked with Crabby Crabs. The NFL Network guys had a laugh at the expense of young Sir Alex by saying he can’t hit the deep ball, but he should continue to throw to the wide bodies (Staley and Ice, whose name no one seems to know how to pronounce) and forget going deep. Ha ha. Whatever. All this kind of shit works in the Niners favor, as it fuels the disrespect angle that coaches like to use as a motivating tool.
Game at hand? Well, the one thing Washington has going for them is decent pass coverage. This game will be (I think) one where the Niners come out running to bring up the safeties, and THEN go deep. The Washington offense is a definite work in progress. They’ve been decimated by injuries up front, and they gave up 10 sacks to the Bills last week. This does not bode well for Washington. They benched Gross Rexman in favor of Beck, but look for the return of Grossie if things don’t go well. I’d imagine they are going to try quicker passes to get the ball out of Beck’s hands faster than our rush, but we’ll see. Their run game is middling, but with Hightower out, it’s even worse. Matt Millen was gushing over our front 7, calling it the best in the league and they all felt the Niners take it. I of course feel the same way, and I think Braylon Edwards has a big day. The 1st 100 yard game by a Niner WR since when, the Garcia days?
Funniest DST joke came from a Kris Humphries tweet: “I’m going to try and set my clock back to 80 days ago — wish me luck!”
For those unfamiliar with Humphries, he married Kim Kardashian 79 days ago.
79 day marriage? Wow that was quick
Denny is threatening to do Niner play-by-play on Chuck’s blog -OMG. I remember when Soph would comment on the games when Alex played- he never threw a completion- the receiver caught one from an unnamed QB. Receivers never dropped passes, Alex threw it too hard or too soft or it was perfect and they never expected that. Poor guy- Soph would assail his manhood and DT Denny would threaten his life…
Man have we ever come a loooong way!
Relax Del, I got the audio now. Maybe you could do a VIDEO play by play? Uh, never mind
Have we?
On our good days?
Did I say 27-3? No? OK. 27-3 Niners.
Wow is Singletary calling the plays for Washington?? That looked like yhe old Niner offense
Wash not getting much on the ground against us, sound familiar?
WTF was Smith waiting for, the Second Coming?
Here he comes…Jesus H. Christ! Get rid of the damn ball already. But I’m sure TF will come and defend that play.
Ice and Boone were in on that one
Ice? Robert Van Winkle was in on that play? “Ice Ice Baby”
The fact that I knew the rapper’s real name is probably not a good thing.
MC Hammer is too easy. You guys should know that one.
No sense learning Rapper’s names. Just yell, “Hey, Shithead!” They’ll all turn and look.
You weren’t analyzing the play, DT Denny- it was a sack, it’s Smith’s fault in your world.
Ben Tate just scored a TD for the Texans, and he’s of Rob’s FF team. Not a good start for Suck for Luck. Did I mention that I started Roy Helu? He might get 30 touches today.
Too back Chuck can’t get even 1 touch when he visits the whorehouse.
I’m sorry, I know a comedian shouldn’t laugh at his own jokes, but I don’t care you are — that was funny.
Leave your fantasies elsewhere Dennis. Too bad Mr Softy always lets you down.
Relax Dennis, that is only one possession
Good play by Alex to escape the rush and get it to Gore… not so good by Gore as he drops it.
Are you back East?
Not yet, I’m still in Cali.
No, it was too easy , Gore didn’t expect that. Totally on Alex for making a perfect throw.
LOL
I’m not Soph… I’ll criticize Alex when he screws up… but I have no interest in piling on when it isn’t his fault. This year, there has been very little to criticize.
Both teams asleep! Sloppy
He fielded a punt on the 3 yd line? The Skins’ PR compounded his stoopidity by fumbling the ball. I hope a Redskin blogger is threatening his life right now.
Smith nwith the near TD
Nice play Smith
He had to catch the ball- it’s a poor play.
Nice spot for a safety…
Justin almost had a TD!
Justin Smith drops an INT for a TD then commits a holding penalty. Talk about compounding stoopidity.
That Skins’ FB just leveled Patrick Willis. I’d be embarrassed if I were him.
GOLDSON yeah baby
Chickenshit call on Smith. Great play by Goldson.
That Skins’ WR just gave away the fact that play was going to be a running play. And the guy he should have blocked, T. Brown, makes the tackle.
Beck is horrible. Even more so today. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Rex back.
Of course I was forced to start Beck in one league because Stafford is on a bye.
Lucky me.
I expect to see Grossman in the second half. It’d be nice to have at least a ten point lead by then.
They are supposed to audible out of runs.
