We are getting to the crux of the season here. The Niners can hit these playoffs anywhere from the 1 seed to on down to the outside looking in. I don’t see either happening, but winning the West is the main goal. Green Bay has a little easier time of it, and they may very well pass the Niners for the 2 seed. Seattle likely wins as well tomorrow, so the Seahawks game next week could very well determine the west should the Niners lose tomorrow. I think they win, for some crazy reason. I think Kappy has a big game, and I think the defense does well enough to slow Brady and co.
I hope these guys worked on using the speed they suddenly have out there since AJ and LMJ look to get a lot more field time with Hunter, KW, and Manningham out. I would love to see more screens and passes to the flat to give these guys the ball with some green around them. If NE plays it like Miami and St Louis did, the slants will be there. Take a few shots with Randy and AJ, use the speed. Defensively? Well, the hope is we don’t start slow, as NE can jump on you pretty fast and throw up a 21 spot in short order. That being said, how is a good question. The Niners worked over GB pretty good with their base D. They didn’t do as well vs Minn and the Giants. They will likely have to throw some blitzes in despite the risk of getting burned.
Forty Niners Forever 
Peyton Manning won his ninth consecutive game today. Alex Smith? He filled his ninth consecutive Gatorade bucket without a spill. Go Alex!
God, I hope it’s raining. That might slow Brady down a bit, maybe have them run more often. And it would be ALLLLL good with Kap dashing up and down the field. I’m doing a rain dance as I’m typing this!!!!!!
Up 47-17, Pete the Cheat runs a fake punt with M Rob. Carroll is just asking to get whacked.
The Raiders are blowing their shot at the worst record in the league. And I picked them to win the west.
If we got anything up our sleeve we should pull it out today. I think the rain just might helpNE since Brady does that quick read shit so well.
Squawks have 50 on the board.
36 degrees in Foxborough sounds lucky to me. Reminds me of Paul Hofer, #36. He was by and far my favorite Niner. Not only did I name my black Lab after him, but I took his name at Confirmation. That’s either some serious devotion or borderline psychotic behavior. I’ll ask my therapist next Wednesday what she thinks.
#16, and I have special place in my football heart for #12 and I don’t mean Trent Dilfer.
I know I’ve mentioned this many a times before, but my first game was John Brodie’s last. But my favorite QB as a youngster was Steve Spurrier. Go figure.
I haven’t checked our FF matchup, I’m superstitious that way. Do you have Adrian Peterson? If so, I’m screwed. What i tell ya about Kirk Cousins. 300+ yds and 2 TDs. Great game for the Spartan rookie.
You’re winning but I have to keep my Pats guys in to beat you.
I wasn’t paying much attention yesterday to bench them.
Tough tough choice here, but I least I have no Cowboys on my team.
Yeah, I know. But Romo, Dez and Witten have been a winning trifecta for me throughout the year. I gotta ride those three ponies to the wire…
Have a shitty day Matthew Stafford. 102 yd pick 6 for ARZ. Jim Schwartz is another guy who I think should be shit-canned.
Knowshon Moreno is my MVP today. He fumbled on his second carry. Fox wouldn’t even activate him for the next 8 games.
He’s been unreal. A running attack sure is nice.
This PIT/DAL game is a doozy. All the makings of fantastic finish. HUGE playoff implications for both teams…
Baltimore will be drafting a QB high. Flacco threw a HS pass returned for a 98 yard TD. They were behind, and even after that it was still a game.
But those sideline cameras don’t lie. He broke every rule in Joe Montana’s book.
I believe you’re right, Rufus. Flacco is a FA next year. Seriously don’t see the Ravens re-signing him next season…
But having said that, the QB class in next year’s draft is beyond weak. Good luck finding yourself a new savior…
And now OT. The Coyotes are toast. I didn’t replace RG on principle, BTW. The guy is great and he plays on my team from the bench if he has to.
o
Wow. Worthlessberger looked like Flacco on that play.
Freak you, Dennis. But congrats for the win in the playoffs.
Gawd I hate the Cowboys. The Steelers aren’t very far behind, so I cry crocodile tears.
Now, THE REAL GAME.
Don’t think it happens, but thw Giants could very well exit the playoff race. They go to a very angry Baltimore next week.
Plus they fall to 3rd place as it is right now due to tiebreaking scenarios.
THe Niners HAVE to win this game to stay out of the wildcrad mess.
Carroll is DYYYYYYYYYING to beat Harbaugh. He hasn’t done it as a pro yet. To take over the west lead? Criminy. GOT to win this..
Phil, as usual, my pick comes in just under the wire…Our Niners jump out to the early lead. Pats look a little hungover from their big win > Houston last Monday. The short week doesn’t help their causes any. We lead early, at the half and starting the 4th quarter…but that’s where Mr. Brady steps turns into Mr. President. LaMichael James scores on a long run and/or pass catch, but it’s not enough.
Man with Victoria’s Secret wife — 24
Quarterback w/o “Think Pink” — 20
Ok
Freakin Seacocks 108 pts last 2 games.Niners gonna stop that shit next week.Fuck Petey.Harbaugh’s gonna lay it on him bigtime.
Fuck. The temp. dropped to 35. There goes my Paul Hofer lucky 36 out the window…
