One from Mick Jones . . . Well, it’s back to the Big Easy. The site of some of the highest highs and some very low lows. Montana to Rice vs Denver, and 5 yards away vs Baltimore. Last season’s penalty-filled game, and many many others.
That being said, the airwaves are once again filling with 49ers past and present stating things like Harbaugh is gone, the locker room is broken, we need to get back to what we do well, execution, on and on. Jerry has weighed in. Steve as well. Frank has dropped his words, Bruce Miller as well. When all is said and done though, it happens on the field.
No one doubts that talent on this team. A battered and short-handed defense is playing spectacularly well. The retooled Ferrari of an offense is in the shop with a timing problem, and what appears to be a clogged fuel filter. Shit ain’t moving right. We sputter and stutter regularly, and have bigger problems in the red zone.
So, wherein lies the problem? Since everyone has an opinion on this, it varies from Kappy not picking up his reads to the play calling to the rudimentary passing design to the play calling to Harbaugh sealing his own fate by losing and he and the Brinks truck travel to the Big House in Michigan (the Raiders? Shit, even he won’t touch that turd pile) to the 49ers throwing too much to the play calling.
Think it’s the play calling? At this point, who knows? All sides play their part in this struggle. But certain things haven’t changed. Getting plays in on time. Getting to the line with a sense of urgency. Scoring in the red zone. Since these issues have been part of the 49er landscape since before Kaepernick (and even before Harbaugh), one would think the onus lies on the coaching staff to devise ways to fix these things. Harbaugh talked about these very issues before the season started, and yet they remain. They had to take a timeout on their first drive last week. They burn timeouts like fishsticks (you’d have to know my mom to get that one).
They’ve tried things like no-huddle in the AZ game, and since it worked so well, they never used it again. Same with misdirection passes to Anquan Boldin. Oh, that works? OK, we’ll save it for next year. Thing is, there may not be a next year for these coaches. This ios a winnable game, sure. But going to the Super dome to fix your ailing offense and stand behind your depleted defense is a tall tall order. Win, and the outlook is suddenly pretty good, what with a roadie in Jersey coming. Fight and lose a close battle, and the talk will be of a disappointing season with too much adversity to overcome. Lose big like the Denver game, and the fallout will be immediate and loud. Harbaugh’s tenure will be finished.
Such is life in the NFL. Riding high in October, shot down in December.

Above Criticism? Like every other media outlet people report and believe what ever there told to believe. Anyone who goes against their belief is silenced and removed from freely posting on their sites. Even people who act as if they truly believe in freedom of speech will somehow go along with the culprit without saying a word.
A man allows anyone to say what they want in America without getting offended.
For example if one just goes along and supports both good and bad moves the 49ers organization makes where lies the truth? Another example if the 49ers had Aaron Rodgers as our Quarterback would us smart fans be complaining? Or are we just smart enough to know that Kaepernick’s classless it’s all about me, me attitude will never lead us nowhere. Or could it be that the character of these players only jeopardized the standards we once knew and loved.
I just don’t get it because Harbaugh says Kaepernick is in Aaron Rodgers league because he says it you simply believe it? Most of you witnessed Walsh and the class on and off the football field yet Harbaugh’s classless antics doesn’t bother you. This anything goes attitude is a one sided belief that makes you a doormat for deceitful people trying to sell you a bag of goods.
At some point in ones life you must wake up and speak and the truth.
I think Aunt Esther said that first. Hallelujah! Glory be.
This is football not constitutional law. go fuck yourself, V.
Let’s give Kaep a chance to grow up a little perhaps?
Yeh, he’s rough around the edges.
Let’s also remember he’s a football player, not the local Pastor.
Would you rather have a lifeless, emotionless slug like Jay Cutler?
He come’s off as someone that would rather be home on the sofa playing video games.
Give me a competitor like Kaep, with time to learn and mature, over someone like Cutler for that kind of money.
I think the NFL must have sent out a league-wide memo to all media members that this was, “Rip Kap a New Asshole Week.” He just continues to get bombarded this morning left and right. He and Jimbo can only duck so much “flak.”
This has to be our first 10 AM start of the year. I don’t recall having to start drinking at 9:30 in the morning. Not on a Sunday anyway.
The Kap shit storm aside, I actually think he and the O play very well today. however, think it’s the D who let us down today. No shame in that considering the opposition. 38-31 The Big Easy
You’re way off, but then again, you sound sober.
Bethea! And Knuckles show up early.
Couldn’t even dream up a better beginning than that. Perfection.
All Gore, too. Good thing we didn’t cut that guy.
Gee, running out of 4 WR sets. Where have I heard that?
4 wide? You think that was four wide? That explains a lot.
You are a moron. Unadulterated moron. , 3 wide on the right. One wide on the left. You’d rather peddle your bullshit than believe your eyes. Don’t let reality get in the way you your agenda, asshat.
Then how do you explain Davis and Gore in the backfield. 12 men on the field much. FU!
This is how we should have played Manning on defense. Crowd the TEs on the line and pressure.
U quetioning fangio the great?
Yes.
I’m sure Manning would have been “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered” if we implemented that ploy. Ha
Good to see them finally listening to me.
Pay no attention to the man behind the blog curtain.
Look pretty fired up on both sides of the ball. So much for their refusal to play for Harbaugh. Bunch of nonsense.
Best first 11 mins of football — on both sides of the ball — that I can remember in recent history.
They sure look different this day than last Sunday, Running weak side with 2 wide? Who’d a thunk?
There goes another of Chuck’s runs out of a 4 WR set for the TD!
see that number 2, skippy? Oh yean. That’s the jumbo formation to you. Fucking brain dead lemming. Keep listeining to your master Lowell Cohn.
Yeah, if only all that name calling made you smarter.
Waaah! Poor baby. I’ll go easier on you from now on. So sensitive!
Vick with the 67 yard bomb. J e t s up 10.
Says the guy with the cute puppy for his avatar. Fuck him.
PW and Bowman on the sidelines wearing 49er shirts in the Saints black and gold colors.
That’s a subtle fuck you, Nawlings. I like it.
Wow. There’s a brutal call.
This is killing me. Boldin had it. No mistakes now.
There’s a fucked up call. There’s playing it safe, and there’s wimpinig out entirely. I don’t like that at all.
WTF was Reid doing on that play? Looked like he was waiting for a fair catch.
Reid: you mother fucking sack of shit
