The Blues Brothers happens to be one of my favorite movies. The scene in the beginning with the penguin beating Jake and Elwood with the yardstick, the door magically opening and closing, and her generally sinister countenance is pretty much what I was raised on as a Catholic. The New Age folkie, singy Christianity is all new to me, and I’ve pretty much given up on organized religion because of the institutional hypocracy. Thankfully my mom respected my decision when I was 14 to stop going to church. Didn’t keep me out of Catholic school however.
What does this have to do with football? I don’t know. Just that my favorite line in the movie is when Jake and Elwood are trying to track down the old band members. The landlady asks them: “Are you men with the Police?” And Elwood says: “No ma’am. We’re musicians. We’re on a mission from God.” All this talk of Tebow and religion just made me think of that movie.
Today’s game? Well, we are playing the Cardinals. Not the Bishops or the Popes. The Cardinals. Let’s hope we put the fear of God into ’em.
24-7 Niners.
Forty Niners Forever 
Chuckles has been touting Kyle all year, definitely nice to see him get some catches. And the Diva may have had his best game as a pro. I blame the QB…
Shit, Mike. Yer posting my shit before I do. Uncanny . . .
I didn’t see your stuff since this flipped to the 2nd page . . .
Toby Gearhardt is not getting much run in Minny, apparently on the outs with the coach. Maybe Niners could bring him in next season for a look-see, let Rathman work with him…
Yeah, I’ve been touting KW since last year. The dude is small but he can play. I’m glad to see him getting some chances. He doesn’t drop shit if it’s on his hands. Don’t know what the deal is with Edwards, but he seems to still be nursing the knee, and isn’t doing what he was early in the season. He was dropping everything thrown to him. Crabs had a great game. One of his best as a Niner. VD needs to really get his head in the game. There are plays where he just has ZERO awareness as to where he is on the field.
Yeah, Smith missed on some passes, but there were more drops than misses today. He had one bad pass, and that was the pick in the end zone. Even still, 23-7 is fine. This D is doing an outstanding job. Again, though, not enough sacks. the pressure was therem however, and it forced some ill-advised passes. The DBs were on top of shit today.
On to the Thanksgiving bro-on-bro death match thanksgiving-palooza. I guess we’ll be dining on raven instead of the traditional turkey . . . gamey little fuckers, those ravens . . .
That’s because they are carrion.
What sucked about the Smith interception (and it was bad) was that it wiped out a fabulous escape by Smith. He could’ve run, thrown it away or actually found someone open. But all qb’s make mistakes in a game. Smith just makes less than most of them….
If Jackson isn’t the dumbest cocksucker in the NFL, I’ll accept nominees..
crabs 120 yards today !
vernon davis passes brent jones for TD mark !
our defense is #1 in points allowed and run defense !
Chuck– how about an update on the status of all 10 draft picks from 2011? I’m assuming some of those guys are on the practice squad? So far it looks like an awesome draft with home runs in the 1, 3, 4, and 8. Kappy is still an unknown. What about the other 5?
For instance, we traded up to get Kilgore but I don’t see if he’s even on the roster. Does Colin Jones ever play? Any of them on season ending IR? Just curious and thought you’d have the info and save me the time from looking them up one by one….
I’m sure Chuck will do better but Holcomb is on IR. Person and Kilgore are on the roster but have been inactive, Jones, I think, plays some on special teams. He had been waived but then they picked up him back up. Ronald Johnson was cut before the season. He’s gone.
Nice stat in the Chron today
Season Record Head coach Starting QB Finish
1984 9-1 Walsh Montana 15-1, won Super Bowl
1989 9-1 Seifert Montana 14-2, won Super Bowl
1990 10-0 Seifert Montana 14-2, lost NFC title game
1997 9-1 Mariucci Young 13-3, lost NFC title game
That 1984 team was one of the best teams in history . . .
Even without Rice.
Well, that pretty much covers it, Twin. The only guy that didn’t make the grade was the one guy I thought would stick. And that was RJ. Actually Kilgore and Person both looked very good in preseason action on the line. Jones made a play on ST yesterday. Holcomb suffered a torn achilles in preseason. He may be out for a while.
