As disappointed as I am about the Tomsula hire, some prominent players are fully endorsing him. This includes Anquan Boldin, Alex Boone, and notably, Vernon Davis. While there’s something to the whole inmates/asylum thing, and the additional fact that VD is in his contract year and should endear himself to the coaches, there has to be a certain amount of relief from the players. Boldin said it should be easier to play for Tomula over the notoriously high-strung and volatile St. Jim.
Beyond that, the only coach they are keeping is Tom Rathman. Good news as I think at this point it would be a good idea to keep Gore. He’s the heart and soul of this team, and this is a commodity they need to keep this train on the tracks. If Gore showed anything last year, it’s that he can thrive given some decent blocking. Give him a 2 year deal and let him ride off into the sunset. He can go about 15 plays a game and he, Hyde, and Hunter can all share duties.
Boone is onboard as well. Sure, kumbaya doesn’t equal wins, but a looser atmosphere could be what these guys need. Again though a lot rides on the staff Tomsula brings in. He’s been in the league a long time and hopefully has developed relationships with potential staff members. One can hope, anyway.
The guy I like at this point for OC would be Chud, the Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground dweller, Rob Chudzinski. He’s a tight end friendly coach who did wonders with Cam Newton his rookie year. Callahan would be OK I guess. He’s had his moments. Trestman? Ehhhh. He cratered in a big way in Chi-town, and his Canada work? Whoop-dee-fricking-doo.
Forty Niners Forever 
At least in that 4th Q and OT the zebras didn’t decide it.
The Pack blew it all by themselves…
The Packers took a page from the Niners playbook, they ran the ball 3 times when there was less than 5 mins in the game, it was 3 and out! You have a QB like Rodgers and you go to the run??? All they needed was a First down and that would have forced Seattle to use all their time outs!!
Exactly Irish Kevin!
Challenge the 1 armed Mega Mouth maybe?
Too eff’n conservative.
Just like Harbaugh & Co.
Who made the final Pick & slid down too?
Thought you iced the game with almost 6 mins to play?
Score bitches..
It is some kind of disease these NFL head coaches have. They get ahead with solid play calling with some risk, then shut it down to running off tackle crap when they’re ahead with plenty of time left. Walsh didn’t do that. He went for the jugular, and buried the opponent. And Joe wasn’t a guy who never through a pick. If you have a lead, don’t sit on it — you add to it…
How about rushing 3 men on 3 and 19 and coughing up the first down? They had been getting consistent pressure on Wilson the entire game then they go to that. Why coaches forever do that boggles my mind.
Exactly!
They had to, IMO, to force Seattle to burn those two timeouts. After that they were still in great position. I’m trying to figure out how they gave up 15 points in 44 seconds.
This was the 1972 divisional playoff game all over again. The only difference, GB choked to Seattle instead of SF choking to Dallas. Bostik is now GBs Preston Riley.
Unfortunately, Berger, I remember that one all too well. The sting of it is less because it wasn’t the Niners, but I despise the Seahawks so much that this game sucks too. Can the Pats beat them? I hope so, but I’m not putting any money on it. Gronk is going to need have a good game.
Move over Bill Buckner.
The new symbol for choking belongs to Bostick.
Dom Capers should be looking for work soon too.//
NE has been in the mix for a dozen years because they have Brady, and they play 6 games every season against the perennial dogmeat Bills Jets and Dolphins…
Extremely excitable and auspicious times pour moi this week. Not with the ponies mind you. The doctor upped my Vicodin dosage. Heeeeeeeeee!
It’s 45-7! Why the fuck is the future President of the United Sates still standing in the pocket taking potshots like his name was Lincoln?!?!?!
Give Tom a break.
Chud is available!
I just gave Tom Brady a standing ovation when he came off the field.
He *deserved* it.
Before today’s games even started, the potential of a SEA vs NE SB had a line of SEA – 3 1/2.
It’s now SEA – 1. OVER/UNDER of 49 1/2.
You guys know who I like…Hail to the Chief!
I have a great disliking for the Seahawks and Patriots, but it’s an interesting match-up, and could produce a good game. If the ‘hawks can run the ball well against NE (and they should be able to), they can control a lot of clock, and maybe win 23-20. If they can’t run it well, then NE probably wins. Wilson can’t keep up with Brady in a passing battle.
Brady a future President? I guess you’re either joking, or know nothing about how politics work.
Good luck trying to get elected with this backstory:
“Brady dated actress Bridget Moynahan from 2004 until late 2006. On February 18, 2007, Moynahan confirmed to People magazine that she was more than three months pregnant with her and Brady’s child. Brady and Moynahan ended their relationship sometime in early December 2006, around the time Moynahan became pregnant.
Brady began dating Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen in December 2006.”
All the more reason for Tom to become the Future President Zumiee.
He’s boinked some of the best high-end tail known to mankind.
What donors wouldn’t write a check for his campaign?
John Kerry was sitting with Mr Kraft in Foxboro today as well.
Large Orange Mojo-Julius Christie’s run ended in the Jones’ Box at Lambeau, along with the Cowpatties’ season.
If Jesse “The Body” Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger can become governor of their respective states. Tom Brady, should he choose to run, will become president of our great nation.
Mark my word.
Winning governor ain’t that hard. Sarah Palin became a governor, so that’s set the bar pretty low.
When Barack Obama was elected president, the bar was thrown out the door. Now this country is going to elect Hillary Clinton? That same bar is going to be shoved up our collective asses.
She looks more like the Deep Throat-type to me Del 😀
Tell me too, how GB didn’t challenge Earl Thomas after he had his left shoulder harnessed?
Both he and Sherman were wounded pretty severely yet, they didn’t force either guy to make plays in crunch time?
Totally inept play calling, when all the marbles were there for the taking.
GB went to Sherman’s side when Sherman was replaced in coverage duties on obvious passing downs late in the game, and failed.
I’m guessing there will be some job opportunities in GB this coming week.
GB choked.
The GB play calling after they had the lead looked like Roman had taken over…
Pathetic Snarkk.
You’re in a play-in game for the SB.
Show some balls. And, I’m not talking cheese balls.
How’s this for fun?
