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 
Kap’s passes are on the money
And the back-and-forth begins.
WTF. Cocksucking ripoff
And we burn our 2nd T.O…harken back to Singletary/Martz.
Oh joy…
Shit Lee,where’s that knuckle punt mook.
Ronnie Lott #42
My favorite Niner of all-time.
Over Joe the Great?? No way, favorite all time Defensive player, yes, Joe the Great all time favorite Offensive player!!
Kevin, what can I say? I wore his #42 jersey at Candlestick each and every time I watched him play. Have his autograph as well, but that’s not my thing. I was just 16-years-old after Ronnie and the Niners won SB XVI, and Mom and I went up to Rocklin the next summer. I waited until after practice (players were still pretty accessible then) until Lott walked by the fence and got his attention. First thing I told him was “thank you.” Next I said was, “I love to see you hit people.” Ronnie replied, “that’s my job.” Then I said, “you’re doing one helluva job” Then I shook his hand after his signed my 49er Commemorative SB Book.”
Ronnie Lott, #42. My all-time favorite 49er. It will never change.
That is a great story!!
Whooooo! I’m loving this extra curricular shit happening OB.
They’re hittin’ people!!! That’s football. My kind of football, anyway…
Fucking awesome. Eat shit Matthews
Once again, Kap and Boldin get the headlines, but our OL is fucking dominating.
DOMINATING.
Take that Clay you cheap shot punk!!!
OK. Per rule 49. Sec. 57. Row 5. and seat 9 of the 49er season ticket holder fan book. I’ve switched from vodka/cranberry to Bud Light. Can pin this 14-7 lead on me.
Go OL!
Alex Boone is my favorite 49er.
Having VD and nothing else, won’t work for long.
Huh? Uh Boldin maybe has caught a few??
Bouldin looks slow. Downgrade from Crabtree. Go D!!!
Packers in the giving mood today.
We got Boldin for a 6th rd pk?
That’s more than a little brotherly love involved there…
We Jewed the Ravens outta that shit….
Dawson: you slimy little cunt
Just piss poor D.
Damn do any of the Niner backs know how to tackle???????
Fuck can any DB make a fucking tackle?
Half time some coach is going to be screaming at the backs!! I think I hear them here in Sacramento!!
Yep – just like I said – good close game – 9ers capitalized on a couple huge turnovers in the 1st half – refs even gave them an extra 3rd down on the 2nd TD, but Pack hanging tough – looks to go down to the wire – could go either way.
WTF just happened? Cox sucked some serious cock trying to make that tackle.
TD Finley. WTF is Rob? He’s a Cox apologist. Yo, Rob. That 6 inches, I mean, six points, is on you buddy.
I’m outta jokes concerning Cox. Why don’t you like (Reggie) Bush?
I think Boldin might just be worth a 6th rounder…
Once again, our OL just pushed the GB DL back for 5 yds.
Then? Our rookie TE, McDonald drops a pass on 2nd 3rd? Another INC to Marlon Moore. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but RUN THE GODDAMN BALL!!!
Fuck that, if I never see another run dominated offense from the Niners I will be happy!! Your boy A smith had a good game against the Jags. Go Chiefs, go Alex!!
Niners may be cunted
That was who? That’s right, fucking Nnamdi. He sucks. I posted his stats from his last two yrs. as a Philly. As the show stats, “Numbers Never Lie.” He’s old and slow. And he’s an ex-Raider. Trifecta!
Vernon!!!!!!
Our OL is fantastic. Kap and VD get credit for that pass, but in my book: OL. OL. OL.
Shit. Hate to say, but Matthews just clowned Kap on that play.
He did his homework. All that talk wasn’t for not…
Whhooooops-e-daisy.
