Funny, Seattle and AZ have crept back into the playoff picture, seeing as the rest of the NFC has turned into bumbling, stumbling, here-you-take-it-I-don’t-want-it underachievers. Philly’s misbegotten disaster of a season can be saved by winning out, and the Jets beating the Giants, and then the Giants beating the Cowboys. AZ, the Giants, Chi-town, and Seattle all still have life in the playoff hunt. Atl and Deetroit are the ones they are gunning for.
Which brings us to this week’s game. The Niners are still trying to stay tied with NO to gain the bye week. However, the Niners can also dash Seattle’s playoff hopes with a victory in the turd nest in Seattle. So, a win would be doubly cool this Saturday. Thing is, Seattle is red-hot. The 2-6 Seahwaks beat the Ravens. No small feat. They have gone on a 5-1 tear since then. Yeah, they beat sad sacks like StL, but they beat Chicago and Philly pretty easily, but inexplicably lost to Washington. They’ve been winning with strong special teams play, and a tough defense. They gave up 221 yards to Chicago, and held the Rams to 280. They forced 4 turnovers against Philly, and TJackson has been fairly error-free. their special teams has also been strong.
Sounds kind of familiar. I think it’ll come down to protection. Keep Alex clean like last week, and the 49ers should be fine. Philly ran in them fairly well, and we should be able to as well. Get pressure on TJ, and he’ll make mistakes. This being said, you KNOW Pete Carroll is gunning like a mad man for this game. he wants to knock Harbaugh down a peg or two as he tries to get HIS team back on the relevancy map. A win for him this Saturday would definitely do that, even if the Hawks don;t make the playoffs. Their shot is slim anyway, but for Harbaugh to be the one to put the dagger in would be all the more sweet.
27-13 Niners. They find their way back into the end zone.
Forty Niners Forever 
Actually, the road to the Super Bowl would get a hell of lot easier if Denny ( with the help of his now arisen Mom) would just kill Brees and Rodgers..
And why should Denny get any slack? The only thing wrong him is elective- he’s a hopeless alcoholic. Hell. I’d probably get off scot free if I commited a homicide. Hmmmm..
Let’s get back on topic- Smith’s superior grasp of the WCO vs. Joe’s first full year in it:
Alex (14 games) 61.4 CompPct, 2752 Yds, 7.08 Y/A, 16 TD, 5 INT, 91.1 QBR
Joe (16 games) 63.7 CompPct, 3565 Yds, 7.3 Y/A, 19 TD, 12 INT, 88.4 QBR
how many times are you going to post this? What’s this, like the fifth time?
Maybe 3 or 4 more. Depends on how annoying I think it’s become.
Hey Chuck, when these fine young gentlemen finish jerking off over Alex Smith and death threats, wake me up. I feel the need for a siesta.
I think he gets *slack* (if that’s what you want to call it) because by all appearances there’s nothing credible about any of his death threats. He’s just some dude in his apartment blathering away on a blog. Now, if he ever acted on his threats I would of course feel terrible. But you’ve got to discriminate between what you think is credible and what you think isn’t,
I don’t think (my opinion) that Denny is capable of or willing to act on any of these threats. I don’t think he means a word of it. I think it’s his way of expressing his feelings and at this point, now it’s like his “shtick”. It’s idiotic, but there’s no law on the internet against being an idiot–though their should be 🙂
Having said that, I don’t allow him to make any threats at my blog, but that’s mostly because I think he’s full of shit about Smith (and everything else football related) and I can mediate the blog however I like…….
I don’t think he’d act on them either.That makes making them OK for Chuck. And It’s Chuck’s blog. Shit, Spitblood did less to get canned, might as well let him back. With the new rules OKing death theats, bring it on. Instead of a REASONABLE discussion of some interesting stats, I’m totally down with some hilarious murder chit chat…
No please, carry on- I’ll be out for the day. I’m delivering Chistmas presents with the help of some friends. Denny, is the FedEx address from your last present still good?
No one said Denny’s dt’s are funny or interesting. As i said, I think they’re idiotic and without merit. I do what you seem unable to do: I ignore them (at least here at ‘Forever).
Don’t you think your most recent post, especially since you are known to have his address, constitutes a little more of acredible threat than anything Denny’s ever said? Just sayin’ ….
How is that a threat? Sick mind, pal. Now, threatening to stick a bat up my ass, when you know MY address, THAT is a threat, dude.
My point is, either ignore it or blather away. I don’t care. Spitty was banned for many reasons. Some of which was his dealings with you. Some of which was his annoying habit of posting 5,600 posts that were 2 miles long. You getting bent over what you think are credible threats from Dennis is laughable. I put up with it because, when Dennis came on the scene a few years back, he was a breath of fresh air. He was funny, irreverent, and no too serious about shit. He’s become somewhat annoying, but so have you in your response to his posts. It humors me to see you get all fucking nuts about Dennis egging you on. He’s like Nipper, but with a much more twisted mind.
You don’t have to like it or tolerate it. In the immortal words of Matt Groening, like it or lump it.
Your death threat regarding Zito and sharks is obviously a joke? I’m sure there are a lot of surfers out there that don’t feel that way. And you come up with a direct threat to Dennis? Wow. Good for you, hypocrite. That’s a bannable offense, skippy.
It’s only a death threat if I said *I’d* do it, idiot.
But I know you won’t act on that, so I lend little credence to it.
In fact, Mike, why don’t you start your own blog? Call it the Alex Smith LoveFest. All happy-crappy smoke blown up Alex’s ass all day all the time. No objectivism or reality or anything remotely critical.
How is what I said about Denny a death threat, moron?
I never said death threat, you insufferable ninny.
It’s wasn’t any kind of threat.-but if you think it was, ban me.
You read ‘Alex diss’ in just about everything said about him here (and everywhere), but can’t see the implication of stating you know where Dennis lives?
Merry Christmas, all, and shut up, Mike . . .
Merry Fuckmas to you.
What implication? I’ve sent him a present. I’ve sent YOU a present- Flavor- 2 presents. Return them if you like- you know MY address.
If you don’t want Denny called on his bullshit, better ban one of us, pal. He and Spitfuck have both threatened me.
you are insufferable with all this threat/ban me talk. I’d rather go back to the Smith vs Montana comparison…….
Whatever. We’ll see what kind of mood I’m in tomorrow. If Denny posts as he usually does during the games, it might be a fun time.
OK. Today’s question: “Was Joe Montana was the most overrated quarterback in history?”
Bad typing day. Oh well. Alternate topic: Did Walsh “coach up” Joe, or did he become God without any help?
I’m not sure if TF is sending me a Christmas present or if he’s coming to kill me with a blunt instrument. Either way, I hope a bottle of cognac is involved. Speaking of drinking, you could use one. Or as Jack told Shirley MacLaine in “Terms of Endearment,” “You need a lot of drinks to kill the bug that you have up your ass.”
Well said Del Mar.
BTW did you make a prediction on the Seahawks game?
Your nurse was shocked that a “friend” would bring likker to a guy in your condition. Thank goodness I called ahead. She told me to remind you, it’s your favorite tonight: strained peas.
BTW, with all the shit I’ve taken from fucktards like you over Alex, I’m the one who should want to shoot his ass.
Dried peas are the shit. Seriously. Find a whole foods near your Casa and you’ll see what I mean.
You guys crack me up…but I’m confused. Is it really true that TF really is delivering gifts to Dennis, Flavor and grumpy?
But then I’m the guy who wasn’t sure about Flavor’s 13-3 so-called prediction…
Phil, actually I previously sent Flavor a couple of gifts and Denny won a prize in one of my contests on Flavor’s blog. Don’t remember what he won anymore. But no, not Grumpy, I think he said he was digging up Denny’s mom for Christmas… shit, now I went and spoiled the surprise…
I couldn’t agree more, if the time came that I was down to that I’d take the Ledger.
Actually, Denny’s game day shots at Alex and Chuck’s appreciation of Denny’s contributions are so important to both of them, it’s worked out well when I haven’t posted during the games. I’m sure that takes some of the thrill out of his threats, but that’s the way it goes…
Phil– I didn’t predict 13-3 I was just fucking with you. I don’t think I even threw a prediction out there this year though if I did it was probably around .500…….
LOL, the most optimistic I saw was 11-5 from skeebs.
Ugh, I need to get my freaking Seahawk game prediction in. I am not down with the doubled-ended short week. And Carroll hates Harbaugh more than Harbaugh hates Carroll. He who hates more has more reason to win. But I digress…..
T-Jack sucks the under belly of me ball sack–Niners win 31-19…….
I better get my prediction in for Phil’s record book. It’d be just my luck to finally nail the score and not have it on record.
24-17. If you have to ask who, you haven’t been following along.
Merry Christmas everybody!
