Well, I’m hoping for an entertaining win for game 13. Mainly because I’m taking my son, shelling out some hard (yeah, really) earned scratch, and making the drive all the way to the house that Stoneham built. Yes, the Stick, the Stinkhole, the mudpit, nee Monster Park. Site of many many MANY football games in my life.
Last game I saw was the Seattle game on Dec 12th vs Seattle. Near the end of Aluminum Mike Singletary’s tenure. The Niners trounced Seattle 40-21. No contest. However, I’ll never forget the 1st time I went to the Stick for a football game. They had the ever-lime-green and deadly astroturf installed for the ‘coronation’ of the 49ers moving to Candlestick from Kezar in 1971, after closing the rim around the stadium, which previously was open in the outfield. They might as well have played in the parking lot for all the padding there was on that field. It was the Minnesota game the last week of the 1972 season. Steve Spurrier (the man who cursed the #11) quarterbacked the Niners to the brink of the playoffs but they needed a win to get in. All he could muster thru 3 quarters was 6 points, and the Niners were down 17-6. In stepped John Brodie, who had been hurt and had missed the previous 8 games. He calmly and coolly led 2 4th quarter scoring drives. One to Gene Washington on a 25 yard strike, and the 2nd being a post route to Dick Whitcher as time was winding down. Luckily we were sitting in the south end zone, where the 4th quarter TDs took place. The place went nuts as the Niners made the playoffs. I’ll conveniently end the good feelings here.
So, flash forward to now, and . . . ? Are we on the brink on another new age of dominant 49er football? Will the decision to start KaepernicK be forever called Harbaugh’s folly? Will it be his downfall? Will Harbaugh switch back to Smith if the Miami game doesn’t go well? Strange days indeed. And to coin a phrase from Mr. Mojo Risin, with a Miner 49er connection, weird scenes inside the gold mine. . .
Go Niners! And go Kappy!
Forty Niners Forever 
And WTF is our pass rush? Sack his ass!
There it is. Aldon just abused the kid from Stanford, Martin.
Welcome to the NFL, rookie.
Fucking Goldson missed that tackle. I can’t stand that fucker. I want him gone.
Aldon 18.5 sacks so far
James 1st down for 10 yds. I’m calling for 2 tds to boot by the RBs. @ sacks by Aldon
1 more sack by Aldon
That gives Aldon the franchise record with 18 1/2 and counting…
Fucking shitty-ass play calling again. Bunch formation and we run the ball. Fire Harbaugh’s ass!
Seriously. The play calling has been atrocious. Most would like to place the blame with roman, but the buck stops with Harbaugh. Uneasy lies the head who wears the crown. Fucking time to Marie Antoinette his ass.
Nobody’s fooled when L.Davis and Kilgore come in. Kaep should have taken the bootleg on that play. Maybe this was the set up play for that naked bootleg play later in the game.
I don’t know if Harbaugh thinks it’s “cute” or whatever to bring in 7 offensive lineman like he used to do on a regular basis at Stanford. Someone needs to remind Jimbo this isn’t college.
THROW THE GODDAMN BALL!!!
I hope this game doesn’t go like the 10 time world champion boxer from the Philippines who took one on the chin in the last second of the 5th round against Mexican Juan Marquez: out stone cold not saved by the bell. Shocked Fiiipino crowd…that’s not us right?
Manny Pacquiao
Phil, it was the 6th round, but who’s counting? The ref is after Pacquiao hit the flow after that straight hand right by Marquez. Pow! Right in the kisser, Alice.
I just happened to go to our favorite restaurant for Sunday lunch and it was packed- forgot about the fight. Place was damn quiet after that round. Marquez has skinny legs but powerful upper body- for a 39 year old. It was their 4th fight, 2-2
O is just too predictable, agree
I keep hoping and thinking Jimbo will open the shit up, but he’s a goddamn disciple of Bo Schembechler from his Michigan days. He had Andrew fucking Luck at Stanford and he still ran the ball 57% of the time. It’s hard to make a leopard change its spots. But someone needs to remind Jimbo once again…
THROW THE GODDAMN BALL!!!
Deep shit is out because our O line can’t hold their blocks
That Miami ST player needs to be neutered after walking into the EZ with the ball.
Thin the fucking herd, people. Thin the fucking herd…
Ok that was good coverage by Goldson but he does make a bunch of bonehead plays
The Miami punter should be allowed to rape that mook’s wife.
That’s fair punishment in my mind.
I hate to agree with Dierdorf about anything but he’s right about the punter chewing out and shoving anyone. Take a seat kicker. You’re an effin’ kicker.
lol
Miami’s already scored their last anyway.
Two catches by Randy Moss in succession. Stop the presses!
WTF is the protection?!!
Great blitz recognition and completion to James. Ya think Jacobs make that catch?
Fucking OL let Wake come through untouched. Then we run the ball on 2nd and 17.
Fire Harbaugh now!
Shit Anthony Davis didnt.even touch that guy.Fuckin OLE attempt cost Kappy that Sack!!!
I think it’s fair to start openly questioning this QB switch. Kap is not playing better than ALex was. JH is responsible for needlessly making our O worse. Swallow your pride and bring Alex back!
Alex is NOT coming back unless Kap leaves on a stretcher? Would you like for that to happen? I have no problem with it if you do, I root for players to leave in a body bag all the time. Just like you’ve done with Peyton Manning this year. I respect that.
Kaep’s been making plays from nothing.
I had the sense last week some of these guys weren’t giving a full effort blocking for Kaep. I don’t like it.
I’m not seeing the whole field but I can’t believe everyone is covered on the plays we see Kap staring downfield and finding nothing. He’s had some plays where he’s had no time but he’s had several plays where it looks like he’s admiring a beautiful sunset. Throw the goddamn ball!!!
I’ll be very interested to hear Chuck’s analysis on this game since he’s seeing the whole field…
