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 
Frank Gore only has 5 carries in the first half, 26 yards.
If 49ers abandon the running game they risk losing this game
Kaepernick cannot call an audible inside of 10 seconds on the play clock.
We have 3 offensive TDs since the Bear’s game. Blame it on whoever one chooses, that won’t get it done. Time to open it up…
Alex just opened another Gatorade bottle, will that suffice?
TF, are you rooting for Kap to be injured so Alex will return?
What wouuld make you say that, Wet Brain? i want them to score more.
Now we’re talking FUMBLE
Fucking Alex Boone got beat like a red-headed step child on that 3rd down. Kap had none chance.
How bout that ST SNAFU by the Fish? That’s a muff. Frank got his fish, and I got to see some muff. That’s the Dennis/Frank exacta.
TD Frank! Frank Gore, that is…
I think Anthony wants to play more..
Thannks for the gift Thigpen.,Now lets punch this fucker in!Thank you Frank,for the 6….
Fuck kick coverage- where is it?
Goldson FALL on the ball moron
Flavor, if Kaep’s not seeing open receivers that could be a problem, although Alex wasn’t that great at it either, but you don’t want him forcing throws that aren’t there just for the sake of throwing more.
Seattle is killing the Cards 31-0
We need to do something different. Maybe run some spread or pistol. Our O-line is not blocking anyone in a phone booth this year, no matter who the QB is.
Uh that’s reassuring, I thiink
James finally showing why we drafted him on that play.
Kap and Crabs seem to have developed a nice little simpatico. Crabtree couldn’t stand Alex. He wouldn’t even say his name and admit he was the starter the other year when Alex ran “Camp Alex” during the lockout. Crabtree hates his ass.
We converted our first 3rd down. As the late Mel Allen would say, “How about that!?”
Funny, he had 39 catches in the first 8 games.
Shit this is BS how we handle the play clock.Have to do a better job getting the plays in.
Fucking zebra let the DB mug Moss.
Beautiful play anyway.
I don’t understand some of the play calling, still. Right before half, with time running out down around the 20, Niners call that run to LMJ, which goes nowhere and eats time, instead of throwing into the end zone, since they’re already in decent FG range. Kap does well on roll outs, they’re not calling many of those. Now, the razzle dazzle that almost works. Seems too conservative, then all of a sudden a crazy ass call…
My two little neighbor girls asked me a question that I thought was, “Do you have a tree?’ I said no, the tree is up in our community room. They said, we don’t want a tree, we want a treat. That I have, I gave ’em some snickerdoodle cookies.
Warrior catch and run by Gore there. Should have been a three yard gain, ends up with 18.
