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 
One score game again.
John Madden: “The knee = two feet.” Fucking great throw and catch by the Fish. Even Frank was impressed. His Siamese ass is looking to turn another shade of gray…
Colin has had a nice game, quietly. Big drive coming up.
But for a Moss catch here and a Walker catch there…
That pass to Crabs was late and low.
Anyone else got a bad feeling here?
I’ve got a turn over feeling here.
That’s why punters don’t say shit to the cover team guys.
I’ll give Alex credit, his beard always looks neat and tidy — standing on the sideline!
Shitty decision by Kap on 3rd down. Have to throw pass the 1st down marker.
Love that “Heart and Soul” commercial. Greatest piano song ever? I dare any one you to top it?
Well our O is having a rough time adjusting to the new QB but they were dropping Alex’s passes too. I think our D will hold ’em out of the EZ
Harbaugh is clearly afraid to turn Kap lose on some more risky pass plays. If that’s the case, why is he in there? Might as well have Alex in to do his thing…
And what exactly is Alex’s thing pray tell?
My stomach is already churning awaiting your answer…
Can’t we get a hometwon call once in a while anyway?
No
Only Philbin is getting those.
Today, Harbaugh is a moron.
Two fucking penalties on the same goddamn play. That shit is on our HC.
Fire Jim Harbaugh now!!!
Nolan is available
As dumb as this post is, it’s fairly refreshing to read you write about something other than Alex smith.
This would be a good time for Aldon to get a sack.
Seattle 51-0 over Arizona.Cards with fucking 8 turnovers!!!!Easy to see a score that huge with that many gifts.
Now we’ll see if Kaep and Roman can run the four minute.
Now Kappy needs to get two first downs.
Dumb fucking call by the fish = deep pass on 4th and 10?
Nice run by James for a first down.
Thank goodness for lame brained play calling from Miami, going deep needing just a first down.
LaMichael James has a big run / big day 1st down
