Game Day — We’re on Mission from God

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.

    Hey Dennis what’s with Blind Legions? Looks like they haven’t been updated for weeks

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

      I dunno. The mgr. of that team abandoned that team awhile ago.
      But of course I still managed to lose to that team two weeks ago.
      Only me.

        No that’s weird. I’m not going to say anything just in case…

        How’s your FF team doing so far this week?

        AP hurting his ankle isn’t helping my cause. If only all my FF players could perform as well as Tony Romo.

      • phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

        Just read your ? long after the game, hold on let me check- be right back Del….

        Ok I’m leading the deaf, dumb and blind kid “Legions” by 17 and am projected to win by 11 but I’m not counting on anything after I saw how you took the $$ from rob and suddenly he wins : )

    I know the Eagles are having issues this year, but how the hell did they lose to these very same Cardinals last week? At home no less.

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

    49ers had six first half possessions and six FG attempts.

    I blame the quarterback.

  4. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    They’re 8-1. I blame the quarterback.

  5. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    As usual but what about all the drops? This is a complete “offensive” team effort. It’s offensive alright

  6. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    This is a good wake up call for the Thursday game. They must be looking forward, heads not in this one. O looking like they ate 6 lbs of turkey each.

  7. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    Most of the problems with the offense today are clearly the many drops and a couple of disinterested efforts from VD.

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

      But I’m sure it wasn’t Alex’s fault that he missed a WIDE open Crabs in the end zone. Or it wasn’t his fault either when he missed an open streaking VD down the left sideline that would have resulted in another TD. Nope. It’s never his fault.

  8. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    Crabs looking like he’s into it and K Williams. I never listen to Del Mar about the QB. He’s the Anti-Soft guy on the payroll.

    Crab! Nice YAC

  9. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    Crabby with the stiff arm. Nice. I’m changing my opinion on this dude…

  10. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    K Williams TD sweet. Flavor you may have to change your prediction BACK to ‘stomping’ if we stay awake in 2nd half

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

    First good throw Alex has made all day. Bout goddamn time.

  12. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    VD + Alex. Pretty nice huh Del Mar?

  13. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    Yet another picture perfect throw.

  14. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    That was a major league on-target outside shoulder pass right there Smith to VD for the touch. Thing of beauty. Wow….

  15. Kevin's avatar Kevin says:

    I will say it again the right coach/teacher has done wonders for Alex

  16. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    I would appreciate it more if the opposing FF team didn’t have Smith for their QB. That just put Legions ahead. Holy crap I may join Del as losers to this abandoned team

  17. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    I think I’m voting Harbaugh for president. If he can do this with Alex, we need him to get this country back on track…

  18. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    One of the symptoms of the poor soul with end stage Wernicke–Korsakoff is a total inabilty to recognize what’s happening in front of him. Dennis, it’s too late for you to stop drinking, just try not to hurt yourself.

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

      Maybe I can’t recognize what’s happening in front of me, but I sure the hell can remember you telling us all how the defense would regress with Fangio in charge because defenses always do wherever he goes.

      Tell us another magical bedtime story, fairy godmother(fucker).

    Soft’s been coaching SP this week, dang

  20. Kevin's avatar Kevin says:
