I’m always confused that the word ecstacy does not have an X in it. Anyhow, this season sure isn’t what I imagined it to be. Yeah, I thought we’d beat up on the underlings like Tennessee and Arizona, but I didn’t think we’d get waylaid by the likes of Indy, Carolina, and especially New Orleans. Game 1 was a shining example of what turned out to be false expectations as we quickly fell to 1-2 and hit scramble mode. 5 wins later, and we’re feeling fine.
Boom, another little rough patch as the Niners lost 2 close games to 2 good teams. At least we tightened up the losses. Fast forward to now, and we’re rolling on a 4 game winning streak. Which of course includes the stirring victory over the Seahawks. So here we sit, with the 5th seed in our grasp. Yes, we could possibly get the 1 seed should the earth open up and swallow Seattle, but that probably won’t happen. Ans yes, we could lose out and miss the playoffs entirely I suppose, but that’s another far-fetched deal.
So, if things go according to the path of most likely, we win out and get the 5 seed. Which means we get the winner of the NFC Norris Division. Which most likely means Da Bearsss. GB could sneak in and ride the wild hope that Aaron Rodgers makes it back, but ewither way, we are playing in the elements. Not too big a worry to me as we have a strong run game, but if it’s a blizzard like we saw a couple weeks ago, all bets are off. Still, running and defense travel well in shitty weather.
Green Bay has Pitts, and a huge showdown with Chicago, which likely determines the playoff team. Lose and you are out. Deetroit, in the inimitable words of Steeve Young last night, “threw up on themselves” in a fairly ghastly loss to the Ravens, who did nothing more than get into field goal range 6 times yesterday. So, it would have been nice to play in the warm confines of the Bankrupt Dome, or wherever Deetroit plays, but Deetroit can’t get out of their own way, amid the penalties and stupid play calling. So it looks like the Niners are packing their longies for the trip to the frozen midwest.

Hey 12th man,
Look at the POTD for an example of the writing style. If you didn’t see a name on top who’s the writer you’d think you were reading? Random9erfan? Really? It’s not me, bullit , it’s just a random 9er fan. Google the screen name and I’ll give you dollars to donuts there’s no posting history save here.
And yeah, I’m thinking something like 31-13.
Gotcha Chuck. Man I hope we score over 30! Any way we can. Trend is good. Trend is our friend

Lol, wonder where I’ve heard that before…
Well, I searched it. Links to posts here, and a 2 year gap to some site called football future . Com he posts about how the Niners are the worst 11-3 team in history.
Odd to say the least
NF has a valid point, POTD is a gimmie for Bullits style. My clue is watching who he chooses to respond to 🙂
Smoked him out easy. He always denies being Bullitt. (2 T’s and not Bullit 1 T) Also found an actual bullit post on Skeebers site at 10:21PM Wonder when Randomfan guy was posting his denial here…WTF?
Heh heh. Yeah, didn’t see the Random9erfan denial til just now, NoFear. Certainly writes the same style of coming up with ‘clever’ names for players, and the general tone of the posts. Minus of course the internet bully bluster he spreads on Skeebs blog.
Truly a messed-up individual. Throw in the redbull, touchdown tommy and other aliases and you have an internet stalker.
And yeah, he lied about posting here before. The first Random9erfan post is from 11/11/13. Nothing ealier.
Beyond that, no one anywhere said Alex Smith was the 2nd coming of Dan Marino, or Joe or Steve or what have you. Just that he was better than was evidenced by the lousy coaching he got.
He’s on pace to throw about 250 more passes than his average with the Niners, and throw for about 3,500 yards. All career highs. 23/6 TDs/Ints is not bad no matter how you parse it.
If Dallas had a QB that didn’t turn the ball over so much, they’d have a much better record.
Gettin’ ready for the Niners

Much as I dislike Goergia’s team and the Rams in general, it’s hard not to pull for Steven Jackson. A guy who toiled in obscurity on some crap-ass teams. He just missed the Kurt Warner glory years, and suffered through many 2-14, 4-12 seasons with the Rams. Closest he got to the playoffs was when they tied for 1st at 7-9 a couple years ago.
This year he thinks he’s going to a Super Bowl quality team and they take a massive dump.
Kinda like Frank Gore until recently.
Sheesh. Didn’t realize Jackson broke the 10,000 yard mark. Shit, he’ll have over 15,000 yards from scrimmage by the end of the season. Another under-the-radar Hall of Famer?
Wow. Bullitt is protesting madly over on Skeebs blog. Thou doth protest too much, skippy. Besides, Skeebs already ratted him out as Redbull. Sad pathetic little man.
BLEEP!
Reno, how do you like that $2.79 gas?
Yeah, I see a bag of beans cost 2.79!
.
Yeah, I know you feel sorry for yourself Buwwitt! ANyone that has to hide behind multiple screen names is truly a lost soul.
