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 
Oops…
This just in.
Cardinal offense suxxxxx…
Say what you will (and you will) ya gotta admit Del Mar is one consistent man!
Del Mar’s early, early opening line for Niners @ Ravens on Thanksgiving night —
Edgar Allan Poe’s -5. Quoth the Del Mar nevermore.
LOL, you are an educated man Del
But I think wrong again my friend
I’d like to see SF do a screen for once that works…
Vic’s defensive unitis got worse every year with Carolina, the Colts, and Houston. I pointed that out several times when he was hired. Maybe you find someone to read this for you, Denny.

So you’re saying past performances always lead to the same outcome next time around?
Tell that to my horses. And while you’re telling my ponies another of your fantastic bedtime stories, better grab my shovel. It’s getting pretty deep around here.
I’m saying it’s not a comfortable trend, Death Threat.
I know Death Threat won’t be able to figger it out, so I’ll make it easier:
“In CAR, his defense went from 7th-best in 1995 to 10th in 1996 to15th in 1997 to 30th in his last season. In IND, Fangio’s unit finished 15th in 1999, then 21st in 2000, then 29th in 2001. Finally, in HOU, the Fang’s Texan defense ended 2002 at #16, 2003 at #31, 2004 at #23, and 2005 at #31 again.” So we’re OK THIS year, as I’ve said many times.
Ted Robinson pissed about the flag on AZ on KO
Now AZ player down and out on next play -Dan Williams
Niners D lost focus there on that long run they gave up after Goldson got tossed. That should have gone for 3, not 33. That TD to Fitzgerald was insane, should have been intercepted …
Yep gotta regroup now on O, D
Alright I understand running uses up the clock, but when you don’t get first downs you are giving the ball back to the other team with time.
See, this is about to be 23-14
They would go for two, Kevin, to make it a one score game
Lol thanks Mike
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes
Is this the bend don’t break D I keep hearing about
Well, it didn’t break, did it?
Nice that they rested Gore the whole 4th. Good for Dixon to get some reps, he’s running tough…
Yep good calls
I’d like to see Dixon on more short yardage situations.
9-1 coming up men. Ugly but beats a pretty loss or a ‘moral victory’
I think it’s tough when you’re playing a team you know is terrible. Harbaugh played it just fine. They misfired in the first half, totally dominating at the same time. He didn’t try to force it the second half. In the end, nobody cares if you win 23-7, or 35-7, which arguably they should have. One thing, they have to figure out whatinhell broke down in FG blocking in the first half, and one of Lee’s punts almost got blocked, too. That has to be fixed. Looking forward to the Raven’s game. That’s going to be a battle. Looks like Ray Lewis may be on the shelf, that’ll be a plus….
Yeah, they sleep-walked through this one, but this how good teams beat bad ones.
Per the thread, I had 24-7. Not bad. . .
Except for the possible suspension of Goldson, and Miller’s injury, a solid effort. I tell ya though, when Miller went down, the protection got worse. I forgot to see if Anothony Davis came back in after he got hurt.
Hard to be disappointed with any win. I though AD came back in… Also they scored (AZ) right after Goldson got the boot.
Niners of old had a lot of wins like this
Cheers
Death Threat pretends his predictions are not for real, but he’s lying and is now 1 and 9 …one more win and Seattle loss and the division is clinched, BTW. I blame the QB….Rams were officially eliminated today.
Kyle Williams – I like his emergence as a possible possession alternative. Nice option if he keeps improving…
Yep agree and we need a Morgan replacement
