    Yeah Baby, Bring it they will, they will be carving up Raven for Thanksgiving!

    Yeah I said it!

    Enjoy your day guys. I’ve reserved it all for football-no guests, no bird, I’m having a burger and I do have some pumpkin pie from a neighbor..

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

    I’m cooking a bird today. Why I really don’t know. It’ll keep me busy and out of (most) trouble until our late kickoff. After that, all bets are off.

    Happy Thanksgiving

    No Playoff seeding help from the Lions: Boy Named Suh just got his ass tossed from the Packers game for a total effing idiot penalty.

    n-dumb-o-kong suh is a moron ! i’m glad we didn’t draft him !

    Weather won’t be an issue tonight in Baltimore: Clear, low 40’s and nary a breeze.

    No excuses for when Alex throws a Pick 6 tonight.
    But I’m sure I’ll hear some anyway.

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Just for fun:

    Predictions for the scoring on this one are all over the map: from blowouts both ways to close Niner win. Grant sez 30-3 Niners. Dennis switched from Ravens -5 to Ravens -21. 27-6.

    23-22 Niners grumpyguy
    19-13 Niners phil
    20-17 Niners da mighty chuckster
    21-7 Niners Kevin
    20-13 Niners snarkk
    12-10 Niners rob
    3-0 Niners Mystery guest??
    17-9 Ravs barleyfreak

    I know there were some I missed; just throw yours up here. Go Niners!

  11. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    I’m on record at my blog that we win 23-10. And if it wasn’t T-giving and I wasn’t feelin’ all fuzzy-wuzzy then I might not have gotten myself to that score. But, I’m standing by it. I have 2 t-giving dinners to hit, one at the Ritz in Half Moon Bay in about an hour and another one in LAH at 6. I will lay low at a buddy’s house for the first half. I’m already feelin’ a lil’ car trouble coming on during that trip back from half moon bay 🙂

  12. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    “No excuses for when Alex throws a Pick 6 tonight.” Well, the Ravens are a tough bunch.. but is this the same pick six he was gonna throw in games 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10?

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

    If Alex doesn’t throw a Pick 6 tonight it’ll be because he was already driven off in a meat wagon. Take your pick, leg or wing. The Ravens’ D is going to yank one of them off Alex’s body tonight.

    Pass the gravy.

    Jacobs: Well maybe she’s got her ship together. “Airplane II. The Sequel” (1982)

    Would somebody please tell me what in Sam Hill Moran Norris is still doing playing FB for the 49ers? Because he sure in the hell doesn’t have his ship together. The S.S. Norris couldn’t even sink. It never got afloat in the first place.

    I guar-an-damn-tee he’ll mook-up at least one play that’ll cost us tonight.

    Helpful Denny cooking tip #1: add some grated Parmesan when mashing your potatoes. And be extra generous with your butter and cream. Cholesterol be damned.

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

    If one didn’t know better, you’d swear that Rob Ryan was the HC of the Cowboys by the number of times he’s shown on the sidelines. He gets at least 10x the coverage than Jason Garrett. But I’ll admit that animated fat fuck makes for good TV.

  17. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    Everyone else is looking forward to a good football game, and DTD is looking forward to our QB getting injured..

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

    I have candied yams that I made myself and a sweet potato pie with a whole can of extra-creamy whipped cream courtesy of my nest door neighbor for dessert. But I think I’ll hold off until after our game.

    It’s past 5:00 now. And as Sinatra said in “The Joke Is Wild” as he played the late-great Joe E. Lewis…”it’s post time.” *

    *He would say that every time he raised his class to drink.

    Cheers.

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

    I like that Mike Mayock. He knows his stuff. He’s especially insightful when it comes draft time at the Senior Bowl and the Combine.

    The Ravens and their crowd are in a small frenzy. Need a stop here to calm things down a bit…

  22. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    A little stuffing with that turkey of a run?

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

    Nice job by the D to hold ’em to 3. Ravens came out strong. Now it’s our turn to watch Alex in action. I have 9-1-1 on speed dial for when the Ravens turn him into mincemeat pie.

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

    Andy Lee has been our MVP for three years running. I’d hate to think where we’d be w/o our great punter. ST as a whole have done an excellent job this year.

  25. Bozo's avatar Bozo says:

    OK a lame request. Anyone know an online feed for the game? Kostaz on justin tv has been shut down I guess.
    Cheers Chuck and go 9ers

  26. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    chuck I potsed some links and it says you gotta moderation?

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

    Shit. That pussy of a rule cost us 6 pts. Chop block? Fuck that. The NFL continues to get more like Fredrick P. Soft every minute.

    And we just caught a break on that “illegal block in the back.” This game sucks more and more each day. I liked it better when you could HIT SOMEBODY w/o fear of penalty.

  28. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    bad time for the website to dump

  29. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    Keep me posted Del my audio is shit and no video. Twin will love the play by play, hahar

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

    Adam Snyder is hobbling and it’s showing in his play. He’s getting taken out to the woodshed al a my fantasy team these past four weeks. OL as a whole is getting waxed tonight.

  31. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    Intercept by Brown?

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

    Great stop by CJ Spillman on 2nd and goal. Loss of four..

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

    Stoopid-ass 3rd dn call of a QB draw. Flacco looked more confused than usual.
    FG good. 6-3.

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

    Niners have still not yielded a rushing TD this season. That was an exceptional stop by CJ, a guy who usually is relegated to ST duties.

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

    TB. 1st and 10 49ers at the 20…

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

    Gore up the gut for 2. 2nd and 8…

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

    Great play by Alex to escape the sack and complete for a 1st dn. 2:00 warning.
    Snyder held on the play. They should have called holding…Oh well.

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

    Smith low throw to Frank. INC. 2nd and 10 from the 31…

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

    COMP to Ginn for a 1st dn at the 43… 1:30 and counting… Crabs for 9. 2nd and 1.
    COMP to VD. 1st dn at the Ravens 40…

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

    Alex throws OB. 2nd and 10 32 secs

  41. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    Be nice to score here B4 half

  42. robd's avatar robd says:

    go on 4th roll smth

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

    Sorry, I think missed a dn. 4th and 3 after short gain by Gore. Niners going for it…
    Ravens 12 men on D. 1st dn 49ers on the 35. 18 secs…

    Alex INT in the end zone. Great coverage by the corner. Braylon never had a chance.
    Poor throw.

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

    Ravens take a kneel. 6-3 at the half.

    I gotta go put my food away. Be back for the 3rd Q…

  45. robd's avatar robd says:

    edwards should have played defense there ! we’ll win this imho !

  46. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    Braylon did a fine job going for that pass,.Jesus Christ The least he could have done is knock the fucking DB on his ass and take the penalty.

  47. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    VDE should have gone OB on that pass. Edwards sure didn’t go after the ball there.

    Oh well. Some shit worked pretty good that last drive. One of our TEs should be getting open.

    2 really ticky tacky penalties killed 2 big plays for the Niners.

  48. robd's avatar robd says:

    we’re going to win this 13-12

  49. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    The Niners should think about more no-huddle.

  50. robd's avatar robd says:

    we’re going to win it 13-12

    they took away our TD !

  51. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Phil, there’s a setting to not post more than 3 urls at a time for spam purposes.

    If yer gonna post ’em, do ’em one by one . . .

  52. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    Snyder out Chilo in

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

    6 sacks. Regardless of the outcome I know one thing for sure…
    we don’t deserve to win. Akers again GOOD from 50+.
    Who was it again that said we should sign that guy, Rob? 😀

  54. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    FG guess it’s ok

  55. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    Most of these sacks have been total jailbreaks.

  56. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    Yeah they are picking on AD and CR I hear. Real test of the O

  57. robd's avatar robd says:

    DEL there’s your boi akers

    PHIL watsup

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

    I hope everyone had and is still having a Happy Thanksgiving.

    This isn’t the best well-played game by a long shot, but it is keeping me on the edge of my seat.

    Fucking 3rd and 7 and we went a little prevent and Whitner didn’t make the tackle.

    LEARN HOW TO TACKLE!!!

  59. robd's avatar robd says:

    phill you can listen to knbr too

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

    Shit. Gotta give credit to Flacco on that 3rd dn. Great catch by their TE for the 1st..

  61. robd's avatar robd says:

    we need a play

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

    Nobody accounted for their FB on that play. Moran Norris might have caught that ball. I said might have.

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

    Shit. ANOTHER good throw by Flacco for the 1st dn.

    He’s out-playing your guy’s Alex by a good measure tonight.

    • twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

      Actually not- 75 YD called back on the BS penalty. And we haven’t pressured Flacco. You’re totally FOS The diff is we’ve been beaten by both their lines..

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

    Fuck. We only rushed 3 and Flacco mad us pay. I’m not liking Fangio’s D tonight one iota. Where’s the blitz? I know not blitzing last wk vs Zona was the thing to do, but that was the Cards. Baltimore ain’t the Cards. Flacco ain’t Red Skelton.

  65. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    Whitmer has the INT if he plays that right. And very little pressure on the QB again..

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

    16 plays 76 yds. Needless to say, that’s unacceptable.

    Maybe we should try, oh, I dunno…BLITZ THAT MOFO!!!

  67. robd's avatar robd says:

    the refs owe us one !
    i would rather see reggie smith in the redzone there

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

    Seven, I repeat SEVEN sack yielded tonight.

    We’d be better off with that fat fuck Bubba Paris in his current state playing tonight.
    Our OL blows. Hey, Rob. “call me Ishmael” and watch our OL suck like Moby Dick tonight.

  69. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    Safety blitz Whitner

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

    3rd and 4 and again Fangio only rushed 3 and Flacco burned us — AGAIN.

    Shitty fucking defensive strategy tonight. Mickey Mouse all the way…

  71. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    As I warned for a few weeks- if we don’t pressure the QB, a suspect secondary will be exposed eventually.

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

    Can you believe all the stores that are starting “Black Friday” at midnight tonight?

    Going shopping at midnight tonight is a shittier idea than Fangio’s defense tonight.

  73. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    So we start blitzing and stop ’em, what a concept, huh Vic

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

    And John Harbaugh reciprocates with his own shitty 3rd and 1 call.

    WTF stretch that out so our D can make the stop? Run that shit straight up. Shit. Even a Flacco QB sneak would have sufficed. I think the tryptophan has clouded the coaches judgement tonight. Chuck could call a better game while he waited to get rejected at the whorehouse tonight.

  75. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    Maybe John knows Jim more than Jim knows John. We’ve had no answer for their blitz and they seem to know when we’ll pass, even if it’s not a traditional passing down.

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

    Magic 8 (Ball) sacks tonight. Lucky Alex fumbled that ball OB.

    I’m starting to get flustered. I wonder if our OL is feeling flustered as well?

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

    I haven’t even looked at the stats all night. I’d prefer to keep my Thanksgiving dinner down.

  78. Utter's avatar Utter says:

    That’s the game. Nice effort. They will need a lot better pass defense to beat GB.

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

      Beat GB? You won’t have to worry about that. The 49ers won’t win the divisional playoff game to get to GB. God help ’em if they have to face Tony Romo again.

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

    Another 3rd dn conversion. Bowman missed the tackle that led to the RAC.

    And now Ricky Williams is getting in on the game. He’s older than TF fer chrissakes.

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

    Check out Flacco’s stache. I didn’t know he had that look. Fucker has a horseshoe on his face. No wonder he’s kicking our ass. Any of you guys ever get kicked by a horseshoe? I’ll be goddamned why they consider that thing “lucky.”

  81. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    OL back to where it was before Snyder went in

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

    Hey, Chuck. You were just off a few days with your “We’re on a mission from God” thread. I caught the “Blues Brothers” on the tube early this Thanksgiving morning. I never can pass that flick up regardless of how many times I’ve seen it before.

    Ted Ginn is obviously not on a “mission from God.” He’s on a mission to continually drop passes at the WR position. He should be relegated to Special Teams, and Special Teams alone.

  83. Bozo's avatar Bozo says:

    Well that sucked.

    • phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

      The blessing if there was one was that we didn’t have enough bandwidth to actually watch the game. Sorta listening and reading the blog that was enough…

      But good to have company!

  84. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    9-2. Who we got next?

    • phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

      Rams, then right away @ Cards and Steelers at home.

      10-2 after Rams

      11-2/10-3 after Cards

      Steelers on Monday night will be our chance to show we improved after this one. At which point we will be 12-2 optimistically or more realistically 11-3.

      The San Francisco 49ers at 11-3 likely winners of the NFC West on December 19. Deal with it!

  85. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    Great Tgiving dinner. Glad I missed most of the game, apparently. Did see this last drop by Ginn. I guess he catches every other ball that hits him in the breadbasket. He needs to stick to running back kicks and punts. Whatever, SF was in tough in this game– so sack it up and work harder for the division win…

  86. robd's avatar robd says:

    alex has a rapport with him , but you don’t go to ginn there !

  87. grumpyguy's avatar grumpyguy says:

    Can’t win in the NFL if you cannot fucking pass protect.

    Very disappointing. And not encouraging for the playoffs.

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

    170 total yds and 2 of 12 on 3rd dn conversions.

    As a casual observer, I’d be inclined to blame the quarterback.

  89. twinfan1's avatar twinfan1 says:

    How was the brined turkey?
    Very curious game plan on both sides of the ball and zero adjustments.
    Side note: Gore was stumbling all over the place. He’s had 5 games now where he’s been a total nothing. And this can’t be blamed on stacking the box- he’s often falling down or stumbling without contact.
    But both lines sucked and that needs to fixed tor the postseason…

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

      Brine? I don’t brine shit. I’m a butter man myself. I’d say my turkey mostly resembled that of Bobby Flay’s recipe. A little thyme, a little marjoram, a little olive oil and a shitload of butter to coat that sucker. Very flavorful w/o overstating.

      Did you know that Bobby is very involved as a thoroughbred owner? Yep. He’s assembled himself a nice little stable of quality runners. Just how good? Good enough that his filly (More Than Real) won the Breeders’ Cup Juvy Turf two years ago.

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

      Brined turkey was outstanding. 14 hours herbed brining overnight. Herb rub w/light canola oil on the skin going in. 475 degrees initially at 1/2 hour to brown up the skin, seal it. Then back off to 350 rest of the way. Pull out of oven at 163 degrees internal. Sit for 15 minutes, carve and enjoy. Moist as all get out, could taste the herbed brining in the meat…

  90. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Bleeeh. Didn’t like the defensive scheme very much. Too much soft underneath. They didn’t play terrible, but not nearly enough pressure. One missed tackle by Whitner really hurt.

    The O line was awful. Losing Snyder hurt bad.

    • robd's avatar robd says:

      the defense played well enough to win … 16 pts!

    • phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

      Not enough pressure on Flake-o, agree. D wore down and we started missing tackles. O couldn’t hold the ball long enough.

      Rob- well against their D we needed to hold ’em to 5 points which wasn’t going to happen.
