The Final Countdown

In a game that was supposed to be an important one, the only importance attached to it now is to see if the Super-Bowl-aspiring-at-the-beginning-of-the-year 49ers can avoid the ignominy of dropping to 7-9. At crunch time at 7-4, the Niners closed the season-in-balance with what very well may be a 5 game losing streak. All the while looking lost and pathetic on offense.

AZ on the other hand is still fighting for a 1st round bye, or at least the division crown. Seattle has the edge right now anyway, and both games will be happening at the same time, so there will be some scoreboard watching by those teams. AZ is in a QB quandary as Logan Thomas played so well in practice they named Davis Lindley their starter.

Don’t see too much chance in AZ for a win. 7-9. Harbaugh out. Let the countdown begin at 4:45 PST.

    Gore trying to put the game away single handedly… other 49ers not helping.

  2. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Penalty on Martin killed any chance of a long FG.

  3. 3 mins left to play in the 4th Q @ Levi’s and the stands are half empty.
    3rd and 16 and we commit a false star penalty which basically saved our ass from taking a delay of game penalty and prevented us from any chance of a FG opp.

    Did we fire Jim Harbaugh yet?

    No, but Craig Dahl won the game for us.

    Reality is just fucking with us now.

  5. Jim Harbaugh wouldn’t have any time instincts if he were born in Switzerland.

    Ended as it started…late

  7. No? One more day? Did I go feed my mallards today?
    I have a say in only one of those queries.
    I’m off to go feed my fucking ducks.

    A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all my Niner Faithful.

      Denny, I’ve probably missed it because I don’t check in here enough but who do you want to see take over as head coach? And after you answer that, who would you take from these 3 if they were the only options: Tomsula. Rex Ryan. Shanahan. I’ll take your answer off the air, and thanks.

      • bigflavor's avatar Flavor says:

        and I know you’re too pussy (or drunk) to answer, but whoever you answer, for either the first question or the second one, needs to do better than 43-19-1. So, your answers, if you were man enough to give them, are going to be up against it, odds-wise
        And the best part of all this is….he never got fired. lqtm….

    Let the mudslinging begin from both sides on what caused the Harbs fallout…

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

      Won’t be surprising if most of it comes from the Niners. Innoculation against the inevitable blow back. Jed and Baalke have no margin for error on this next hire. None…

  9. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    I’m putting my money on Tomsula.

    How many outside coaches are going to want to come into this dysfunctional clusterfuck right now, knowing they will be Trent Baalke’s bitch if things go wrong?

    This was the 2nd week in a row that the play calling actually made sense. I think the biggest difference has been the delivery with the call to the huddle. I think they are calling one play these last two weeks instead of two and just letting Kap audible. Whatever the difference is, the play makes a huge difference. Look how well the O-line has played the last two games. In turn the QB looked great today. If anybody does not think play calling makes a huge difference then I don’t know what to tell that person if they watched today and still feel that way, It figures RoBaugh might have finally figured it out just before they leave. Too little too late.

    I wonder if the Niner blogs will miss Spitty now that he is no longer a Niner fan?

    Well, there were still some stupid delay penalties at the end of the game. Some of that’s on Kap, but still and all I’m glad to be moving on.

    Flav, this team will still be pretty damn good when the dust settles. A playoff team. So of course the aim is the playoffs and then you take your shot. Will they win more that 49 games in 4 years? Harbs, including the playoffs won his 49th game today. Who knows? It’s highly doubtful, but at this point it’s about reaching the post-season. Number of wins doesn’t concern me.

    This will end up a lot like the scenario when Kappy took over for Smith. When all is said and done, you move on, Is the bar high? Sure, But it always is. This team is a playoff contender until they really screw the pooch. Yes, there will be hell to pay of they don;t make the playoffs next year, but we have to see who they get. and what goes down.

    If they do go with Tomsula, I wonder if Fangio bolts. Roman is the only guy I wqant to see gone. I’d prefer them to look outsode the building fpor answers, but coaches may very well be scared off by this debacle that just ended.

  13. I love my little shithole town of Pinole. I’m Proud, but not really that proud of Pinole and the Antlers that encompasses my drinking prowess that includes a 48 year-old-mook.

    I had a Father and Grandfather who were fucking staples of the Antlers. We’re talking pre WW II. My fucking Grandparents used to live just down the ave. across from PVH. The Antlers was a secondary Household that encompassed The “White” name and family. For good or bad, the Whites have made their mark at the Antlers.

    I’m guilty.

  14. Flav, if I were handed the 49er Magic Wand, I would tap Sean Payton from NO to be our next HC. I like both Tomsula and Fangio, but I think they’re both best suited as assistants. I do not want them as the 49er next HC.

    I want an offensive mind as our HC. Bo Schembechler Jr. ™ was a great example of the opposite. Now Jimbo gets to fulfill his dreams and play “three yards and a cloud of dust” for his Wolverines.

    You guys who know me, know that I’m not big on the “I told you so’s.”
    But this one, I had pegged from the git-go.

    Did we fire Jim Harbaugh yet?

    Well Del, one guy I’d like to keep open for consideration is Aaron Kromer from Chicago.
    He’ll likely be unemployed tomorrow as the Black Monday rituals ensue.

    Kromer was the O-Line Coach in NOLA before joining Trestman in Chi-Town.

    Should we lose Solari, it might be worth the time to interview Kromer?
    Under Kromer, Brees did very well in terms of passing success.

    new thread is up.

    We’ve seen several regime changes since Jed took over.
    After watching the revolving door of Coaches that started with Nolan and ended with Singletary, we’ve never found a cohesive Staff.
    Thought we had that with Harbaugh, as he brought the majority of his Staff from Stanford.
    Seeing as we didn’t find the right Offensive balance with that phase, we’re now back to the drawing board for another shot.

    Depending on how this plays out, we may be looking at another piece-meal Staff construction process.
    I’d be in the ranks with those that believe Tomsula might be given the reigns at this point.
    Leaving open, the option to seek individual pieces, to fill in for those that are expected to follow Jim to Ann Arbor.
