After a pretty quiet week, Kevin (punch me in the throat) Gilbride decided to whine about Justin Smith’s apparent murderous holding infractions while playing defensive tackle. Disregarding the obvious notion that DTs are usually the ones behing held, Jim Harbaugh fired back his own incendiary comments, calling the claims, well incendiary. Thing is, DTs hold. They all do it. Smith will hold 2 guys if it’ll give Willis a clean path to a ball carrier. Since this is something that is never called, or even looked for, you have to wonder what the fuck Gilbride is squalking about. Although you have to take into accoun\t Tom Coughlin’s comments that he’s curious as to why his team comes in as the underdog.
Really, Tom? You are on the road against a team with a better record than you? And you are going to play the ‘poor us’ card? Maybe if you had beaten the Iggles, people would take you more seriously. If anything the Giants have to be one of the most whining teams in the history of football. And it starts with Coughlin. He’s constantly whining to the refs, the media, his coaches, his players, his grandma, and anyone else within earshot. Time for a beat-down. As crappy as the Giants have looked, I don’t think they play as shitty as they did against the Browns or Cowboys. This will be a tough game, one that means a lot more to NY than the Niners, but in the end, the Niners prevail, 28-20.
SHout out to the SF Giants and their quest for the World Series title.
Forty Niners Forever 
Here are the prognostications:
Chuck: 28-20 Niners. This game is big, but really doesn’t mean jack shit until we get to January. The hope is it decides homefield, but look at what that got us last year. It wouldn’t be a killer to lose this game. Though I think the Niners win 28-20.
Grumpy guy: 27-17 Niners. Next week will be harder. But we are more multi-dimensional than the Giants, and will be highly motivated after last year’s loss. I’ll take 27-17, 49ers.
barleyfreak: 38-17, Niners. I don’t think for a moment this team is going to get full of themselves before this rematch against the team that knocked them out last year. I think they come to play and they out play and out coach them.
Phil: 33-16 Niners. Bring on the fucking Giants those east coast media darlings
12th man: 31-27 Niners. I think whats at stake is redemption. Vindication for the belief that we should have gone to the bowl not them. In those terms this game is huge and I hope we left something in the gas tank from last week. .. let ESPN chew on that for a while.
snarkk: 30-20 Niners…
Flavor: Well, we are at least facing a competitive team this week. We still walk all over them. Payback time, bitches. 33-17
I’ll add Dennis’s: 44-0 NY Giants.
RTF fearlessly predicts 17-6
BLEEP IT! NY craps out in SF.
Chuck, very nice Week 6 preview as our Niners prepare to do battle with the New York football Giants. A mook couldn’t do it any better even if he tried. Your devout readers, followers and fellow mooks in particular appreciate the effort. But as Lee Corso is wont to say, “Not so fast my, friend!” with crediting me with a 44-0 call of the Giants tomorrow. I like your thinking of the reverse jinx, but even I can’t go that far.
I’m thinking more in the neighborhood of something like, ohhhhhh, let’s call a repeat of last year’s NFC Championship Game and say 20-17 G-Mennnnnn will win it in regulation and/or OT. Thanks in large part to the fumble by, no, not Kyle Williams. No. Not Alex Smith. But the one and only, Vernon “I’m prettier than even what the mirror reflects” Davis.
How bout dem Giants! I’m talking orange and black. Fuck the blue and white.
I was babysitting my longtime next-door neighbor’s grandson, Jonathon, last evening. I’ve known that little shitkicker since the day he was born. Anyhow, we got to talking about Halloween, and Jonathan was telling me how he’s gonna be a Power Ranger this year. Jonathan was itching to watch “something Halloween” on TV. Well, I didn’t think it would be appropriate to show a 6-year-old boy John Carpenter’s 1978 masterpiece, and that being the only Halloween movie that I have…I jumped the holiday season up just a tad and popped in Dr. Seuss’ “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.”
Jonathan had never seen that classic before. And since it starred Boris Karloff, I considered the Grinch to be Halloween-ish enough. Jonathan loved the Grinch. We watched it four times together. Jonathan got the biggest kick every time he heard the phrase, “Roast Beast.” Save some for Max the dog/reindeer.
Merry Christmas
Fearlessly, Chuck. That’s Fysical with an “F”.
Farcical with a ph.
Dizz Bryant chokes the 2 pt conversion. And the Rams lose to Miami.
. . . and Balt blows the onsides kick. . .
. . . AND they get a PI call. . . In thr immortal words of RHCP, give it away give it away give it away now.
Nooooooooonan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ravens win.
Watching the end of the Dallas game. Like most of us, I don’t like the ‘Boys but Bryant got mugged on the 2 point try.IMO.
SF 27-17
Dez Bryant got mugged? Check your eye prescription. That’s was incidental contact followed by a drop of a perfectly thrown ball right between the 88 on his jersey.
Catch the goddamn ball!
Clear interference, numbskull.
Our OL is off to another fantastic start. They’ve been top notch, top notch! (Judge Smails) all year long. From left to right all across the line.
ouch
Third and 6 and Harbaugh takes out Alex. Did we sign Peyton Manning yet?
And Akers takes his turn at playing Danny Noonan.
0 points. Yardage doesn’t count on the scoreboard.
Well, that sucked.
try again
Not too crazy bout pulling Smith on that 3rd down.
Yikes. 3 and out. I’ll take it.
let Kap throw, you know their D is expecting a run from Kap or Gore
Ball control. Running game. Defense. Harbaugh ball. Special teams cost 3.
3rd and 6 and taking out Alex is akin to pinch hitting for bonds in the B9 with the bases drunk because he’s facing a lefty. You don’t take out your superstar regardless of the situation. It’s patently obvious that Alex is no superstar. Jesus Christ. Superstar. Jesus Christ. That’s a joke, son!
almost Del, almost.
