With the tough part of the schedule over, the Niners need to fatten up on their next few opponents. This starts with the Arizona Cardinals, A team that has lacked a QB since Kurt Warner got them 34 seconds away from a Super Bowl championship a few years ago. And been pretty much an atrocity since the Bidwell family took ownership 50 odd years ago. And a team that lacked any sense of style by naming itself after the baseball team it shared a city with. Really? Can’t come up with an original name? Bad form.
Anyhow, while the Niners wade through injuries and rehabs and likely suspensions coming down the line, they need to take care of business at home today. Patrick Willis is still a game time decision, VD is coming back to strength, and Justin Smith along with a bunch of others are nursing various maladies. Tank Carradine is close to being ready, as is Mario Manningham. These guys can’t get here soon enough with the state of the D line and WRs in varying states of thinness. Still and all, the defense did well against the Rams and Texans, giving up a short-field TD in the Ram game and no TDs in the Houston game. AZ isn’t exactly an offensive juggernaut, but I don;t k ow too much about the deal with them. Carson Palmer seems to be doing better than how he did in Raiderland, but other than that, I got nothing.
Scored a couple tickets to the game as well. Stub hub, and I got ’em for $40.00 under face value. On the 45 no less. Looking forward to it.
Forty Niners Forever 
They keep up these play calls and using Gore like today, he’ll need two artificial knees and a Geritol IV drip to play in December…
Don’t look now, but if the season ended tonight:
The Niners would be #5 in the NFC, the #1 wildcard.
Should the Cowpatties hold their lead tonight, that would entitle the Niners to the honor of playing before King Jerry against Tony Choke-O in the Nausoleum.
Heh heh heh.
Surely not the Dallas QB that lit up the record books to the tune of 500+ yards and 5 TDs last week. Hell that’s more’n Al Bundy.
Not to mention the near-perfect on-the-run TD strike I just saw.
How’s the vacation RT? Good to see you.
And threw the game-losing pick.
Ah, thanks NF. Life’s a vacation when you’re a Niner Fan!
Just digging out the winter gear here. It’s nearly time for the first snow.
I think playing the Patties in Dallas in Round 1 would be a hoot. Gore would rip Jerry’s heart out (assuming Frank is still standing by then).
Nate Davis update: Nate’s Amarillo Venom defeated the Laredo Rattlesnakes 70-69 to win the Lone Star Arena League 2013 Championship! (So sorry the news is three months late…)
There’s still time Niners!!
Niners!
As for the Cards correct me if I’m wrong, they got their start in Chicago not St. Louis a long time ago. The Kezar days the way pro football once was. A mere minor league compared to todays epic productions. The Stick was considered a vast upgrade at the time. Once baseball was top dog as a sport now merely it’s a sport sandwiched between football games. Really do we give a damn who’s in the World Series this season?
I didn’t get to follow the game that closely, but it appeared that there was a better balance between running and passing the ball. A well played game from what I saw
A recerd-setting 500+ yards, 5 touchdowns, 1 interception, extending plays, making something from nothing all game and you think the one bad play is what loses the game. Hilarious! that you think you can even comment on football outside the color of the uniforms with insight and analysis like that.
Did you even see the play? Nevermind, I know the answer.
Yes, Romo had his Steve DeBerg moment.
Well, NoFear, i’d rather win ugly than lose pretty. Didn’t know you were such a fantasy football fan. Funny thing is, Alex Smith has a better playoff record than Romo. Tell me Romo was on shittier teams than Alex for most of his career.
Losing pretty is what Romo does with regularity. I’m sorry you don’t understand that Romo has had innumerable chances to win important games but has failed miserably in most of them.
Yeah I saw the play. He threw it behind his WR and the LB made the pick. Did you see the final score? I guess you didn’t because Romo’s stats blinded you.
Most every headline after that game read like this:
What part of that don’t you get?
New thread is up by the way . . .
