The quest for 6 starts today in the final opening day at the venerable crumbledone, AKA Candlestick Park. Funny, I remember the opening season at the Stick back in 1971. It was an astroturf monstrosity back then, which was akin to playing on the concrete in the parking lot. Players routinely broke legs and separated shoulders on that field, and I seem to remember Jim Lash shattering both his elbows in his short and ill-fated time with the 49ers. The Joe Thomas legacy, shitty as it is can only praised for putting the natural grass back into the Stick. To supposedly ease the stress on a fading OJ Simpsons knees. Simpson did little as a Niner, but at least he got the carpet out . . .
Anyhow, will the 2013 season be the lucky one for these Niners? Lots of people think so, but the word out of Vegas is that the Broncos are the odds-on favorites to win it all. At least that’s what the numbers were a couple days ago. Crazy. I think if the Niners had faced Denver last year instead of Balt it wouldn’t have been close. Sour grapes? Maybe, but the future is now. The Niners play 4 playoff teams in their first 5 games, and the 5th team is one they couldn’t quite figure out in the Rams. The early sledding is rough, and game one is against a team that was embarrassed badly by the Niners in the playoffs. The Packers. I hate to be overconfident, but I think we should win this one fairly handily. The Pack has geeked and overgeeked themselves silly for months over the read-option. Green Bay head coach Mike McCarthy sent his entire staff to visit with Kevin Sumlin’s staff at Texas A&M to learn the read-option. I think we may use it, but not much at all. I think Roman and Harbaugh expect the Packers to overreact to the read-option, and will shadow Kappy. Either with an LB or a safety. Maybe they’ll even switch them up. The Niners can exploit this throwing behind the linebackers and getting behind the shadow over the middle. A good spot for VD and VM.
Forty Niners Forever 
Time the rubber hits the road, I just hope we’ve learned how to score early and take control of the game. We shall see. Go niners
In some interesting injury news, No. 3 CB Casey Hayward is out with a bad hammy and will be replaced by rookie Micah Hyde, a fifth-round pick from Iowa. KW is slated as the slot guy but don’t be surprised if Quinton Patton gets some reps there today. In his short time on the Niners, he’s show to be able to get off the line quickly and get instant separation from defenders.
In some interesting non-injury news, I’m enjoying the Breakfast of Champions — Vodka and Vicodin. Wheaties doesn’t have shit on me. Game prediction? 30-24 in favor of Chuck’s second-favorite team, or is it his favorite hobby? Fudge Packers!
Should be a great opening game – I don’t see the 9ers “winning handily”, but I definitely think they have a great shot at winning a close one – something like 27-24, 34-31 – a thriller and a tossup.
Screw the Cheese Fudge Packerys…
Kaep will take full advantage of the rookie CB Jekyl & Hyde starting.
Red and Gold Roll…27-13
Niners will cream the Pack. Not even close.
Pryor is fun to watch run
Not impressed with Seascums D.
No pass rush,Newton tore them to pieces on that 80 yard drive.Hey Pete,jam that down your throat your team looks gassed.
The humidity in Carolina or anywhere in that part of the US is brutal, just like rhe Ravens in Denver. Except it is the lack of oxygen there. I don’t envy teams that have to travel to places like those. Thank goodness ours is at home
Wilson just fumbled in the red zone. The dreaded “sophomore slump?”
Dashon Goldson just laid out a Jets WR and was flagged. The “pussification” of the American male in the NFL continues. George Carlin was ahead of this as usual.
Anyone here ever go to jail over the niners?
As I’ve stated before, jail twice and the hospital thrice.
Not yet. Carolina’s defense is taking it to Seattle. They don’t travel well, and this weather looks to wipe them out.
I’ve had three, count them THREE, fantasy TDs called back in this Lions game. 2 TD passes for Stafford, and a TD run for Reggie Bush. I’m the bush now, cause I’m getting fucked.
The future president of the United States just fumbles on 4th and goal on the inch line.
I may have to vote democrat after that crap.
And if Andrew Luck and my “Survivor” pick of his Colts lose in Week 1 to T. Pryor and the Raiders, I may have to root for the Cal Bears.
Stafford to Reggie Bush for a 77 TD. I need an abacus to count all those fantasy pts.
😀
Damm midget Wilson threaded that TD pass.
Atleast they fucked up the 2 pointer.
49ers inactives
QB B.J. Daniels
RB LaMichael James
WR Chris Harper
WR Jon Baldwin
G Joe Looney
DT/FB Will Tukuafu
LB Nate Stupar
No surprises. None that I can see at least.
I can still vote republican: Tom Brady, future president of the United States, Tom Brady, beat Buffalo. I woulda had a hard time telling Berger I voted for Nancy Pelosi.
Just about 8 mins. until kickoff. I’m pretty goddamn excited.
All kidding aside, you know where my allegiance lies. I saw John Brodie play at the ‘Stick.
Go #11 and I don’t mean the ghost of Alex. Patton is my boy. Go General.
Kap to Patton. 7 come 11. Just like at the craps table. Yo!
TB just with an unbelievable stupid 15 yd penalty to give the J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets! the win.
TB should be totally ashamed of themselves. 18-17 loss at NY. That’s beyond pathetic, it’s beyond words. I hope your flight from NY to TB flops into the Atlantic.
😱😱😱😱😂😂😂😂
Damn if that TB defensive player plays next week he must be pro bowl good, cause that had to be the stupidest thing to do against the Jets!! Epic fail moment!!
Jesus H. Christ. The radio feed is like 30 secs ahead of TV.
I need another drink.
Sack No. 1 for Aldon. Many more coming…
1st play of the yr is a false start. Fire Harbaugh now! 😛
Damn first play and a penalty??? Really!!!
We have to expend a T.O on the 3rd offensive play of the game?
Fire Harbaugh now! No gay-ass smiley face.
If we want to do that, we should’ve kept Mike Martz…
Why teams continue to try and run on our D is a mystery to me.
Where was the rush on that 3rd dn? Credit their OL…
Shit happens Dennis!!
Kaep’s got them rolling on this drive.
Fuckin Joe Buck.Go take you pathetic act to ATT today you fuck!!!!!7
But his Dad was OK, wasn’t he?
Fine with his old man.But his kid should have never been concieved.
Perfect Throw to VD!!
Kappy 6-7 on drive!!
Eat spoiled cheese.Pack!!
