Playoffs Week 3 – Footpocalypse Now

Its finally game day. Seattle fans are icing their throats in preparation to scream their brains out. The talk is over, only the game remains. We’ve all given our reason why, but in the end, it happens on the field. Amazingly, since I’ve been a Niner fan, I remember every playoff run short of the 1957 loss to the Deetroit Lions. I sat in the Candlestick rain for 2 straight championship losses to Brett Favre and the Packers. Reveled in joy when we finally beat the Cowboys in 1994. And threw a lawn chair 400′ down a hillside when Roger Craig fumbled 3-peat away. And died a little when Joe Montana was driven away in an ambulance in the loss to the Giants. These games are usually intense and hard-fought. As of now we are 5-9 in NFC Championships.

Time for number 6…

    We’re 6-8 in the NFC Championship Game btw (6 Super Bowls).
    Today will mark postseason game 30, tied for 2nd alltime with the Cowpatties.
    The Super Bowl will be #31, tied for #1 with the Steelers.

    46° high, partly cloudy (no rain forecast in Seattle in winter?!?!!??), winds light and variable

  4. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    46° is downright frigid when they’re expecting a high of 66 in Denver today.

    • rtfirefly's avatar rtfirefly2 says:

      Yeah, Dennis, supposed to be 66 here today, too, warmest day in months. How the freak did you break *another* bone?

    Speaking of Denver…who you guys rootin’ for in the AFC Championship Game?
    Tom Brady or Peyton Manning? I’m in QB heaven with that matchup. I can’t go wrong with either of those two. So we’ll either have the distinct pleasure of losing to the future president of the United States or to a guy that we were better off keeping Alex Smith over. Pick your poison.

    Enjoy today’s W > Seattle while it lasts. We got hell to pay in two weeks. 😛

    Goddammit! Hitler and Chuck’s spam filter ate my last comment. I thought it to be one of my better ones. I don’t get paid on commission. Me and Rumpel can only spin so much gold.

    I already posted 24-21 Niners but I’ll admit that it’s a hope as much a prediction. We’re having my good fortune broccoli rabe tonight to go with a traditional Sunday Roast Chicken dinner which we’ll have at halftime.For dessert,if you do a litle baking, I made an Apricot Upside Down Cake- forget about pineapple, this is scrumptious. Promise some to CK if he has a big game and he’ll throw 5 TDs.Enjoy the game- what are y’all eating?

    Never tried to copy a facebook pic before but I hope it works.

    Chuck, I think your spam filter ate my post on the last thread. No biggee. It was my prediction for the DEN-NE game. But honestly, who the f*ck cares?

    For the record, 34-27, Denver

  12. barleyfreak's avatar barleyfreak says:

    The league wants (the refs) to keep the game in check early,

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000314924/article/nfl-asks-officials-to-set-tone-early-for-ninersseahawks

    I swear I hope that is the last time I think about the refs today.

    DEN 24 NE 20

  15. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Pats TE, Matthew Mulligan. I’m guessing he’s Irish-Catholic. Big limb there.

  16. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Peyton Manning and DEN just threw a very successful screen pass.
    What the hell is that?

  17. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    The first four drives engineered by Brady and Manning has only produced 3 pts.
    What a couple of bums.

  18. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    First DEN DB went for the pick. The next for the strip. Swing and a miss on both.
    Sounds like one my Daily Doubles.

  19. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    That last Manning completion to Welker was a complete dead duck.
    That’s why I feed my mallards on a daily basis. Somebody’s got to keep those birds healthy.

    Worked both times. Two in a row of those plays that “never work.”
