Here we are at the muchly anticipated home opener at the house that Satan built, if you believe the Candlestick 49er fans that didn’t quite get the temp difference between east SF and the South Bay. Can you say 30 degrees? Thankfully, this game is in the evening so the heat (!) factor will be minimized somewhat.
Anyhow, on the the game. On paper, the Bears appear to have a pretty potent offense, what with Brandon Marshall and young phenom Alshon Jeffries to go along with their bruiser at RB in Matt Forte. They of course are led (?) by the always entertaining Jay Cutler. A guy fairly similar to Tony Romo in that they can play very good football for small to medium stretches, and then lay some big steamers when you need a win.
Thing is, what they do does present a challenge defensively for the Forty Niners. They run well behind Forte, and they have quick-strike ability with their WRs. Their weakness, like Dallas last week, is their defense. I mean really. Giving up 200 yards on the ground to Buffalo is not good at all. Which is why I think the Niners play keep-away. We aren’t going to see that first 8 plays be passes. We are going to run. Hopefully out of our 2-3 WR sets like last week. No jumbo, please.
Beyond that, it’s the opening of the new stadium. I’d love to predict a blow out, but Jimbo doesn’t seem to have that bone in his body.
I’m thinking 28-20 in another game not as close as the score makes it seem.
Forty Niners Forever 
So I guess we know now who Casey Anthony used for a babysitter.
BLEEP the BEARS!
The new stadium looks like it’s gonna get loud, it’s about time that we got that going for us. I know the Stick used to get crazy but it was so big that it didn’t have the effect on the opponents playcalling. I can’t wait, to me this is one of the most important games of the year. May the football Gods shine down upon our new stadium and the Niners.
Hey dennis – due to recent events I am playing Hyde in place of AP. I don’t like your chances.
Ahh. I see you used the old switch on me.
You guys know the best part about feeding my mallards? It’s when a little boy or girl comes by with their mom or dad and I ask them if they’d like to feed the ducks. The look on their little innocent faces is priceless.
Most of you know by now that I have no children of my own (by choice), so I’m no position to tell another man how he should raise his child. Nor would I even attempt to try. But whooping your kid with a switch? I don’t think I would have traveled down that road.
I would have busted out the Louisville Slugger. 😛
My Grandfather used to take the old razor sharpening belt to my backside Del.
Back in the days of spare the rod, the spoil the child.
Ah the good ‘ol days huh?
I took sh!t from a couple of old bitties for having my Son on a tether in the mall years ago.
Told them ‘at least I know where he is’.
Try and snatch my kid and I’m on the other end to come along and kick yer a$$.
Can’t win in this world it seems.
Yup. Bloody welts is a bit much. I spanked my kids, but not very often. And just my hand.
Me? I got what was in reach.
Bend over Chuck……..WACK!
Giants getting wacked tonight.
oops…..Whack!
To that point Chuck, same Son said to my wife, years later as an elementary schooler, after she administered some parenting punishment, ‘I’ll call DYFS on you’.
Division of Family and Youth Services (DYFS)[DYE-fuss], formerly Child Protection Services.
Kids figured, hey Mom and Dad can’t punish us anymore, we can call DYFS.
Something the school systems were making them aware of.
Somewhere, the lines between punishment and abuse got blurred apparently.
Lay a hand on the kids, run the risk of being arrested.
17-0 in a game that would have put the Giants into a 1st place tie is a whacking, for real. THUMP
Going against Kershaw isn’t going to help either.
So now we learn that Goodell will not be attending tonight’s opening of Levi’s Stadium as previously planned. Was Roger afraid he was going to be stoned to death? Bigger question. What the hell am I going to do with this big bag of rocks?
Roger is not going to be there because Roger has marginalized himself. Are you aware that one can marginalize one’s self? I sure am.
Why do the Falcons continue to play S. Jackson? He’s been done for some time now.
Inform them Dennis, I’m sure they would be grateful. BLEEP!
And in other news… RG Knee’s career appears to be over. Some “experts” I’m talking to you Skip Bayless actually preferred him > Luck. Pure Geneous.
A knee is a terrible thing to waste or is it a mind?
I expect VICTORY and nothing less tonight! I will be disappointed if it’s not a rout. Oh and McDonald will play and that guy in Carolina apparently will not.
My boy, Captain Kirk Cousins, is so much better than RG3. Synder can at least thank Shanahan for drafting Cousins. That offense is night and day with Cousins at the healm.
“Your” boy? Go back to draft day when WAS took Cousins. I remember my exact response on Chuck’s blog was the Charlie Sheen “WINNING!!!” Kid’s a winner.
Yeah…. my boy. I discussed Cousins with Berger when Cousins was at Michigan State. I said I loved him, and wanted the 49ers to draft him as a backup. Berger didn’t like him. That’s where you got the info from. My boy.
The day I get info on college QBs from you is the day ducks fly north for the winter.
Sure thing, Del.
Brees just threw a PK 6 and his Saints now trail the Browns 16-3. (botched PAT)
But more importantly, he’s killing my fantasy team!
Chandler Jones with the blocked FG and return for a TD for NE.
He’s my leading FF scorer. That’ll tell ya what kind of day I’m having thus far…
think half my team went down to injury in the 1st quarter.
Aaron Rodgers is looking pretty bad today.
JJ Watt scored a TD on OFFENSE? Maybe I didn’t draft him too early.
Best defensive player in the NFL and it’s not even close for second.
My FF game’s gonna come down to a last second Mon. night FG.
OK. Going to take a quick TO to, you guest it, go feed my ducks. Be back before K.O. Early prediction: Bears with Marshall and Jeffrey, 31- 27 da Bearrrssss. W/O their two wideouts? 12-10 da Bearrrsssssssssss.
You’re gonna feed the ducks when the Chargers have the Seahawks on the ropes? You really aren’t a 49er fan.
