Interesting day so far in the NFL. AZ (2-0) makes a pretty bold statement in beating New England in their house, and the Seahawks (1-1) are beating Dallas pretty good. The Giants nearly lost their 2nd straight to open the season, but rallied, and the Iggles rallied for a 4th quarter win themselves. The Siants may be Aints sooner than not. The Raiders are making me look bad in picking them for the division as thy puke all over themselves and lose to the Lowly Dolphins. But hey, if you have Carson Palmer on your fantasy team, he went 24-48 for 373 yards and a TD. Which tells you all you need to know about how fantasy numbers apply to reality. Which is a lesson to be learned by a few around here. Chucking and ducking 50 times a game isn’t usually a sign that your team is doing well.
As far as the Niners and the Lions go? Wish I was there. Hey, should be a good one. . . .
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
Ok, here’s my Joe Theisman story. Me and a couple friends went to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii in 1998. Notable only for the fact that Derrick Thomas of the Chiefs and Steve Grogan of the 49ers were both thrown out of the game in the 2nd quarter for fighting. I don’t remember the score, but I did meet Chris Berman a couple days earlier, and had a bunch of beers with his, Great guy. Nice wife.
Anyhow, we got there early to score some tix, partied in the parking lot for a while, and talked with as many Niner fans as we could. Great time. We get into the stadium about an hour before kickoff so we walk down to the edge of the field near where our seats are. We meet up with a few more Niner fans, and we’re shooting the breeze. Pretty soon, I notice Joe Theisman interviewing a player about 25 feet away. As he wraps up the interview, I yell to him “Hey Joe!” He turns and look over at me, and I shout “break a leg!!!” He gives me an extremely dirty look, so I had to yell out, “we beat yer ass in ’83!! The refs GAVE it to you!!’ I got another dirty look, and he turned and walked away from our little group of Niner fans. He did his next few interviews about 80′ down the sidelines.
Dickish? Oh yeah! But the gasp that went up from the people that heard it was pretty funny. Even the Niners fans we had just met were saying “dude, that was cold.” I just laughed. ’83 was a pisser.
Yes it was. Refs stole it no doubt. Fuckwads; still pisses me off
The regular refs are better at putting the fix in than these current bozos
Kevin Gogan, I think, not Grogan. That was the Pats QB after Plunkett.
Nice dis of Joe Theismann. Never liked that smug asshole.
Nothing to update on the scoring challenge but it’s on the last thread at 3:28pm 9/15.
Del Mar that’s part of why I moved over here re: yer post at end of last thread. Sad. You’ll never see that over here. There’s a hell of a lot more respect all the way around. So far.
RG III is a great young QB. So is Andrew Luck. Bradford is having the best game of his life. With these refs, anything goes.
Josh Morgan trying to lose the game by himself. Now RG III has to try.
Shanny didn’t give him the chance. I told you he didn’t know how to handle great QBs. He just screwed RG III like he did to Jake Plummer.
Seriously, if the NFL doesn’t get some real refs in there, I’m going to stop watching and stop caring. Facemasks, holding, clothesliines, going at the knees or the head. These guys are great athletes and these wanna refs are going to destroy the game they built.
i want to see us 2-0 !
I want to see me and Kate Beckinsale naked under the sheets together!
That would be a touchdown for Dennis. 6-0 me! Go home team!
lol
del answer your fuckin phone for a change dude
Results of the NFC also ran’s GPS game. Rams over the Skins, Cards over the Pats and Hawks over the Cowboys. Ok, hands up all those who picked those winners this week…….anybody?
DALLAS got their asses kicked today !
omg imagine being a dallas or tony romo fan !
hell, i’d rather take a shower at PSU than be a dallas fan !!!
Romo showered there every week.
It’s too ….
Aldon on first down, nice.
Alodon, Cowboy- who’s next
Aldon Smith and Justin Smith and the blitz up the middle by Bowman. Dance with the gal brought ya.
53 who’s that? Partial blocked
Love it
Best hands, maybe.
Lol
Man’s here. Yeah now we going to talk some shit
TD baby
Reverse to Mannigham on play 1. Then the out to Crabtree. Then deep to VD.
This is fucking beautiful. Woohoo, Alex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm Flavor’s 41-6 lookin good, lol
Beat down on its way
Yeah nice love it!
Smith had a fabulous year in 2011 but it’s so great to see him with some actual offensive weapons this year. And the playcalling was perfect.
I’d like to see Manningham pick up a couple td’s tonight– there will be plenty to go around.
Nice pass, but we caught a break. The play clock hit :00 before we snapped the ball.
Beautiful start.
I think Deetroit give iup on the run
As well they should. NO team, in their right mind, should ever attempt to run on us. But that’s my philosophy with every team…
No one in their right mind should ever run the ball again.
THROW THE GODDAMN BALL!!!
They went to a 2-5-4 after the first down. Trying to confuse Stafford he can pass the lights out in a hurry.
Good play by Culliver stopped 7.
I was just going to ask how long are they going to keep trying to run
bad call there.
That PI call on Culliver was weak sauce
BULLSHIT CALL on gulliver !
collinsworth is a fucking faggot !
I only saw what you guys saw of Culliver’s reaction but it appeared to be from he (as well as all the guys high fiving him) that the refs calls are not going to be something that will deter them…..
I don’t mind a fumble on a KO return when some dude blows you up at warp speed but that type of fumble is just inexcusable………
I think Kendall Hunter must be related to my next door neighbor’s family…
Fucking mooks!
Thanks Gunter, you fuck
Great stand
Doink
Now teach ’em who Frank Gore and Randy Moss are.
Lions are winning on turnovers, penalties and field position. They don’t count on that scoreboard, but they sure help.
Didn’t like that series, no pass what so ever really?
Didn’t go deep, went to that stupid ultra-power short run. Vince Lombardi would’ve gone deep.
Great game yet to go.
Jimbo went into Berger’s SCO (Sardine Can Offense) on 3rd and very short and ran the ball in futility. We deserved that shit.
THROW THE GODDAMN BALL!!!
STAFFORD threw the GD ball….to Goldson
Sweet
Blitz!! Came from the outside and the inside.
Great play by Alex get it outta bounds. Great great play.
First down lol at least harbaugh has the guts to take the points off the board
14-6
Shit was the long snapper in on that one play??
Now teach ’em who Kendall Hunter is. Or Frank is. Your guess Schartze. Mine is a hitch to Crabtree. Eat that
We caught ANOTHER break with the play clock. It hit .00 before the snap. There should have been no opportunity to commit PI on that play. Who’s the back judge, Alex Smith’s granddad?
Now that I saw the replay, that wasn’t PI on Moss. I think the refs bet the Niners – 6 1/2.
Same PI called on Culliver Dell
Guessed wrong Schwartz.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gore, nice run
The O will go conservative as long as they can get away with it
I hate that
Alex had too much on that ball
Its only a 1 score game even though the kittens have been owned
Not getting enough pressure in Stafford and now he’s finding receivers
Doink, candlestick winds
another bulshit penalty
a great 1on 1 play by bowman
and some poetic justice on the FG try !
PI calls suck
Denny, you don’t strike me as a *New York TImes* kinda guy, but did you read the article today titled “Newton Gets Little Mileage out of ALL those Yards”?
They detailed the 12 QB’s who threw for 500+ yards in a game. They were 6-6. Manning won today with 512 so now they’re 7-6 (and I have him on my bench this week with Alex starting, lol).
But *throw the goddamn ball* is hardly a recipe for a certain win………
Fucking Davis, drop
DB knocked it out of his hands Phil
Ok, no video here now
Love that first down call to VD
Dogshit play calling. We have Moss and Manningham and throwin slants to that fuck Kyle Smith
I will say, that was some pretty shitty playcalling. They gave away Thr last half of the field on every call.
Do I get honorable mention for calling the first half two weeks in a row?
16-7 last week, 16-7 this week. Off by 3 this week. I might write a fucking book.
Don’t let Stafford out in the second half. He’s a tiger if you let him out out of his cage.
The flea flicker. I love that play. Alex made another great play.
We are playing pretty well – but I’m getting nervous that they keep hanging around…
It wouldn’t hurt to stretch the field every now and then. I get Harbaugh’s approach, but just getting to the 4th Q to win it is not really doing enough, IMO.
And flushing Stafford out of the pocket might be a good idea. I know they’re triple covering Mega but Stafford has all fucking day back there!
I think they open up a bit. It’s a 1 score game.
They’re streching the field like I haven’t seen in a long time. Just awesome.
This is a fucking good team.
3 drops in a row. Not good.
More fucking drops
Good to see Detroit burning clock anyway.
Fina;ll;y got in.
BLEEP the drops!
The Fat Lady hasn’t sung.
4 fricking FGs for Deetroit. Niners need 7.
Time to move the ball.
Gawwd. This is bad play calling.
Wow. Hell of a block downfield by Gore.
WTF did we get these receivers for? To block? Harbaugh is playing too conservative
Damn. a SCREEN
The slant. Crabtee. Gore to the OUTSIDE. Now Hunter up the middle.
We need to belch and burp away after this one.
We haven’t won yet,Nip, but I’ll be the second and the loudest. Twinnie will beat me.
It’s all yours, RT.
Forearm to the helmet doesn’t get called. What bullshit.
Smith with a tough pass there. Crabs, I take back all the crap I said bout you.
I won’t take it all back – but he definitely stepped up tonight.
Awesome big time plays buy Alex and Crabtree. Who says we can’t convert on third down?
Slowly killing the clock. We need another first down, then a FG.
Mpore 3rd down conversions in this drive than in their last 4 games.
Amazing what happens when we catch the ball. Nice by Crabs/Alex
Or, on second thought, that works too!
Nail in the coffin~~!
Fucking terrific big time play on that drive by Alex, Crabs and VD.
An easy dunk. Last week on Lambeau he hit the crossbar.
Good drive by Alex, that should ice it.
4th down. We can finish it here.
LOL. Not yet.
WOw. This is anything goes.
Gee, was that pick?THis is a joke. Smith gets a forearm to the head and this play, and about 4 others.
KNBR Robinson/E Davis say YES, definte pick. Good call, better than the refs
Yes a pick per KNBR
A 3O seoncd timeout called by the STANFORD COACH???
