Conventional wisdom seems to be that this game is ripe for the Niners to have some kind of let down. After the physically and emotionally draining victory over the Seahawks, the prevailing thought is that the Niners will have problems handling the Buccaneers. If so, at least it isn’t a division game.
Anyway, for all the travel, the spend emotions, and the early start, the Niners should be able to handle these guys. TB doesn’t have that much offensively, and despite their defensive turnovers, the Niners offense should be able to do more against their defense than they can against ours.
So, that means we win, right?
Haven’t had any easy ones for a while. Let’s hope the rain isn’t bad, and this one is over quickly.
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
We’re taking ’em by 7. But as NJ just said: any kind of win will do
A slopfest or, a turnover parade, all that matters is that we finish with 1 more point than they do.
Gotta be ready for anything with Schiano.
He doesn’t play nice.
Kick them Bucs in the loose change bag.
Jingle Balls!
Ill get to watch it as its supposed to be on at 2AM (live). Hopefully, never know with the coconut internet tho.
NJ will take anything from a one point + win fer our guys. Rt sez we win 26-10. Im good for a 24-17 victory. The rest a youse lazy slobs are deep in yer trap game malaise. Wimps.
BTW I think NF posted this link and he mentioned this book recently by Walsh re: media relations. Good article/ book review:

What frosts my butt on days like today is, having our 9ers travel across the Country for a 1PM ET game, while those A-Hole Jets go all the way to NC for a 4:05PM ET game.
Just another ingredient for me to feel like this game is being set up for the upset.
Sure Seattle has to deal with it too but C’mon man!
Well, remember the good old days when the NFC West had Atl and NO as members? The Niners were by far the most-travelled team every season. Same with the Rams as well, but they moved.
This is only our 2nd 10:00 am PT start, so we are getting off light this year.
While some of you are prognosticating, I’ll take a wild guess: SF 22, TB 17.
Just Win Baby!, and oh yes, Glennon must go down and he must go down haaaaahd.
2:00 am local time? You win the fan of the year award, Phil.
Damn just woke up and its already 3AM but we got the lead. No TV tho just sound
I’m thinking somewhere around 24.-13.
You think our Niners can score 13? That’s being optimistic.
You and Grant Cohn who called 13-10 fer Niners
I never got the whole Erin Andrews thing. She’s never been on my A-List. I’m probably not on hers either. Unless of course that A stands for something else.
49ers are 9-4. Bucs are 4-9. Final score? Easy. 94-49.
Dorsey goes down and they picked a fine time to make Dial inactive.
Niners 16 bucks 13, there is no way Roman takes chances
Are you fucking kidding me? What is Harbaugh/Mangini challenging?
Too many time outs.
Wow. Catch, 2 feet down, no catch. I don’t get that shit al all.
Anyone surprised 1st play of the game a run?? You don’t watch the 49ers much then
You lose the challenge, you lose a time out, 3rd play of the game a time out. That is some great coaching.
Telegraph that 2nd down play.
And then you can’t get the play offf
Wow. This is stupid. But that was awesome.
Kaeps should look up to the OC box and flip Roman off
Good stuff there.
Play action!!!
2 plays where Kappy showed patience. Good stuff.
That was all Crabs
Well, someone has to get it there.
Yes, Kaep’s patience and athleticism paid off. First TD reception by someone other than VD or Boldin.
If Kaep continues to make plays, by running, my score is way low. Hopefully coach Harbs is also looking up at the OC’s box and flipping Roman off!!
What an upgrade LaJames has been!!
Vance McDonald sucks. Period.
Celek caught that, dumbass.
This year’s draft class is shaping up as Eric Reed = Home Run. Everybody else…
http://www.hark.com/clips/gnnhggygmd-the-whiff
I don’t know Mike Glennon from Adam, but he doesn’t appear to be the brightest bulb in the box.
He’s got company…
Didn’t know brown was back.
Creative play there. Shoot Roman.
Or we could have the Bucs’ OC. Their best play is the hard count.
Lol
Yeah, they aren’t fooling anyone either. Love to see a deep pass here.
The stupid announcer blamed A. Davis for being uncovered.
I didn’t expect the Bucs’ D to be this bad at home. Can’t tackle, can’t cover. No contest here.
Boldin’s a beast. Hell of a play there.
We have to be able to check out of a slow play there, TBs obviously blitzing on that play.
ROB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEE YOU???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where is ROB??
On the 35 Niners side upper level!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice. Hi Rob!!
No video but I see (hear) we’re up by 10. 3AM skeez
That Boldin play doesn’t result with a 1st dn in January. Playoff teams don ‘t miss those tackles. That’s a punt and -3 pts. This team needs to be so much better to have a legit shot.
Warm up yer mallard arm, we need to rest Kap
That delay isn’t working.
Kirk Cousins is making Shanahan look like a genius and RG Knee look like the POS that he is. Rams are calling Daniel Snyder to see if he’d like to make any more trades.
Snyder’s on record as saying cousins is trade bait if he plays well. They are not goiingt to trade rgiii no matter what.
Didn’t Shanny say that not Snyder?
Right, Dennis. A slant!
A quick slant to VD against the blitz! Be still my heart…
TD Vernon!!!
just Wow.
Wow
Home run!!!’!
You can’t teach arm talent.
Davis busts loose again. Bucs are in trouble.
Well, looks like Kaep has definitely given the finger to Roman And his shitty play calling! Kaep: I am throwing a bomb and that is all there is to it!!
Sweet
Like I said Niners by 17
Phil you’re my hero, after 3 am and you only get to listen. Sux brother.
lol….Niners!
They just missed that 1st one. 2nd one was perfect.
We will see a heavy dose of Gore in the 2nd half
Not much room up the middle so far but the edges look vulnerable. Could change second half.
Prevent here isn’t smart when they haven’t done shit.holding on a smith there
Agree, I hate prevent especially when everything they did up until now was working so well. They deserved to give up the TD, stupid.
Just a piss poor showing by the D on that drive
Well we all trashed TB a little early.
Way too many penalties. Nothing I’ve seen today to indicate that we could beat either Seattle or New Orleans on the the road in the playoffs. Let alone both. Nothing.
Don’t watch, asshole.
And miss the chance to piss and moan??
I wish I didn’t *have* to. My life would be so much richer and fuller. Not to mention easier.
Wow. Nice call on whitner there. You have to be psychic as to determine where the guy will fall when you hit him. LMJ just took a shot to the head there. Why no flag?
Harbaugh proves it game in and game out, he does not have a killer instinct. Lets play conservative and keep the game close.
I hope Harbaugh learned his lesson there in the 2 min at the half. Bucs took all the easy stuff the D gave them and scored, don’t make the same mistake in the second half.
I’m more pissed at Fangio for going prevent on that last drive
Deep drops and 3 man rush through a lot of that.
So to go “all in”, and show he has a pair, the final score should be Niners 34 – TB 14,
If they can control the clock they will. That’s the determining factor.
Seattle up 13-0 in the Meadowlands. I guess you can call today their dress rehearsal for early February.
Shit, Dennis, they should be up by 40.
What’s wrong with Seattle, Dennis?
Love the outside runs.
Every thing about that entire was pathetic on both sides. We’re better off not making the playoffs.
-play- funny how I unintentionally omitted the word “play.” can’t say playoffs w/o play. Like I said, better off.
You are one oddball guy Dennis.
Wah!L!!,!! Again, Dennis, don’t be such a wimp. It’s never easy. If life was certain, it would be no fun.
Going away from the run with the lead.
3 and out would be nice.
Nothing but complaints posted here all day, even in a winning effort, as per usual. For some reason Dennis is the complainer?
I was thinking that too NF, team is playing well.
Yes, they are. Across the country, early game, following a huge win, and the game plan looks tight as does the execution for the most part.
Kap looked like a little cunt on that last drive
Too many dicks in your ass?
Put them away now.
fantastic catch
Boldin is nuts.
Wow Boldin
Wow Frank
Boldin is one tough dude.
I didn’t!
3 wides bunched left side on the Boldin one-handed catch. Roman, I didn’t think you had it in you!
Could not believe that prevent defense at the end of the first half. The regular D setup for the entire first half throttled the Bucs, then they go to the 3 man rush at the end. Fangio/Harbaugh total idiotic brain lock on that. Like that they’re finally using LMJ to get some speed into this offense. And, opening up the playbook a little. They should beat this team by 4 touchdowns. Should…
false start coming out of a TO. Mortal sin.
Is Bolding the only receiver, or the only guy ever open?…
Boldin…
Crabs and VD were open for TDs.
On third down, it seems Boldin is the only guy ever targeted, or open…
22 in a row for “Richard” Dawson. Extends his franchise record. Not too shabby…
Knock on wood, LMJ is feeling his sea legs as the kick/punt returner. Getting some yardage on thows is a revelation. Way better than KW and his fair catches on punts…
Those. I guess typing with toes is not a good idea…
Lot’s wife had more movement then KW on punts…
Eagles are taking a huge dump in Minnehaha. They’re trying to give the division away to Tony Romo. Tis the season to be jolly….
On the shores of gitche gumee?
Loss by PHI and AZ we’re in playoffs
That 2nd down and 10 call is what galls me about Roman. 2nd and 10 and just give an “up the gut” handoff to Gore. Essentially, just hope he finds a hole. Result, 3rd and long, now punt. I do not understand those calls…
It’s the double-fake out . it don’t work.
Wow. What happened to the D all of a sudden?
I was going to say they’re probably winded…
Big down now.
Shit. Rogers has to play up on the line on 3rd and 2.
NYG have 71 yds and 4 1st dns vs SEA through 3 quarters.
Yeah, we’ll beat ’em up in Seattle. No problem.
Giants don’t have the Niners defense, Einstein…
Niners have the 4th ranked D, the Giants are 10th. Not a huge gap there, Stephen Hawking.
Fair weather fan.
TD Bucs.
Their O has come alive. Need to answer.
Jesus. These guys fell asleeep at halftime?
Bucs found the key in their 2 min O and have kept it coming. Have to make adjustments on D and keep pressing on O. Now is not the time to gring the clock.
Now is the time for about a 9 minute drive…
I think they should go after it and score, then do the clock grinding. Too much time and too many possessions left yet.
What a piece of shit effort by the D. Whole team playing
What game are you watching?
I put the jinx curse on Minnehaha. Here comes the green birds. You gotta check out that TD catch by Zach Ertz. Keeping the Stanford Cardinal mighty proud…
