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.
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.
