Well, the 2015 season is underway. Let’s check in on the doings around the league. One thing I noticed is the Rams have a very fast defense. Foles looked pretty good against a fairly weak Seattle secondary. AZ looked very good on defense as well. Their O? Well, as previously noted, they live and die by Palmer. If they can keep him upright, they are solid. Seattle Looks a little discombobulated. Their O line looks horrible as Wilson got sacked 6 times, and they couldn’t give Lynch enough room to get a 1st on 4th and one to keep their last drive alive. And no, this wasn’t the Super Bowl. This was a different team with a different line. Same outcome though. Hah!
Other than that, Denver looks shakey as Manning looked pretty frail out there. He threw a lot of ducks. Then again so did Flacco. 2 good D’s in a FG fest. Greg Roman had an auspicious debut, scoring 27 points against a VERY soft indy defense. 150 on the ground, and 195 in the air is the usual recipe for Greg. Buff has a stout defense, so Tyrod (Straight Outta Nowhere!) Taylor and Co. look like a legit team at this point. The Bears came up short yet again to the Packers. Maybe GB improved their pass defense. Or maybe it was just Cutler.
The Cowboys reffed their way to an improbable comeback win, Alex and KC beat the Houstons, the Bolts scored 23 2nd half points to blow past Detroit, and in the battle of first 2 draft picks, Marcus Mariota annihilated Jameis Winston as the Titans smoked the Buccos.
Aaaand, stop me if you’ve heard this before, but the Browns and the Raiders were both obliterated to start their seasons. David Carr was hurt trying to stiff-arm a defender (doh!), and McCown was hurt trying to score on a one yard plunge. Instead he fumbled out of the end zone and suffered a concussion. Johnny Football made a nice toss to give Cleve a 7 point lead, but a pick and 2 4th quarter fumbles sealed Cleve’s fate.
The Niners? Well, who knows? I feel we will be able to stop a rusty AP. However, if he gets to the 2nd level consistently we are in trouble. Teddy Bridgewater? He’s an unknown to me. 6-6 as a starter last year, 14 TDs 12 INTs. 224 ypg? Decent numbers for a rook. For us, its all about the O. Move the chains and sustain drives, and we should be good. One thing I noticed this preseason was a LOT of TE drag routes. Love it. As much as we like to use VD deep, teams easily took that away last year and that seemed to clog up the rest of the passing game. Torrey Smith will keep defenses honest (that’s the hope) and the underneath passes to Hyde/VD/Boldin should flourish.
Run blocking looked solid, pass pro not so much. The line was a work-in-progress all preseason. We’ll see the real thing tonight…
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
Jozie’s ready for some football . . .
All I gotta say is, Let’s Go Red Raiders!!!!!!!!
lol!!
DEL
After your Kap vs.Romo post maybe you SHOULD punch yourself in the throat. Lol
For sure you’re definitely fired as my GM .
I Mean you were right about the whole Harbaugh vs. Manning thing but Jesus Christ man
Oh and BTW man gimme a call sometime
NJ49er
Right !!!
I’m thinking 24-21 niner tonight
GUYS
I know this dammit, but did Deion Sanders go into the HOF as a niner ?
Niners
Football players don’t really go in with any team.
Dennis, you and Buwwit need to hang out. You are both sorry sacks of shit who beat off to Tony Romo.
Bullit will forever be a chickenshit who snipes away from under Skabie’s apron strings.
Go Chuck…..lay it on heavy!
Niners 28-20.
What’s even funnier is people touting Tony Romo as having turned a corner (at 35!!!) with a 2-4 playoff record, for a win in October. He beaet the fucking Giants. At home mo less. Witj a ton of help from the refs. But go ahead and jizz yourselves.
Let’s see. Kappy is 28, 4-2 playoff record, and he’s the one who isn’t getting it done? Retards. Wet-brained feebs. Does Buwwit give good reach-arounds, Dennis?
You fucking Romo worshippers are so cute,. They don’t call Romo Mr. October for nothing.
Let’s hear it for RTF and the Post of the Day!
RT- truer words were never spoken. Throw in the refs and the stinkin seaturds and that’s the league in a nutshell. The refs have way to much control without oversite.
I wonder how many went for the 2 points yesterday. The scores should indicate that but most of final scores seemed the usual. We gave up on our dish last year so my viewing is limited. Anyway, Niners 22-18. Also wishing Tomsula the very best of luck.
Here’s to the team actually scheming for some kappy runs. Kappy had more rushing yards last year, despite the team going away from designed runs. There’s a diff between a QB draw and a QB constantly running for his life. Teams were laughing at us for taking the ball out of one of our most effective weapons.
Scheme, scheme scheme.
Win or lose I just hope KAP doesn’t have to run for his life.
So the 49ers are now the fifth football leading money making organization. Not bad.
This blog is #1 in Buwwit’s heart as well. He spends more time talking about this place than actually posting anything relevant.
Romo’s turning the corner cuz he beat the Giants! In October!
You can’t make this shit up.
And reason #2 that Bullit ans Bakken are one and the same. They are the only one to constantly talk shit about this blog.
Phil gets his shots in but he’s just a follower. A sheep in sheep’s clothing.
Interesting comments from Aldon Smith:
He’s excited to “be a part of a bunch of guys who work hard and an organization who looks out for their players.” #Raiders
Hmmm. A dig at his former team? If so, he’s on crack. Oh yeah. Talk about someone who’s clueless to that damage he’s caused to himself and others. Maybe it’s just yet another stupid thing to come out of his mouth. Or maybe’s he’s the football equivalent of a curse. Either way, he’s not the brightest lightbulb in the string of lights.
Michael Crabtree on the other hand was very clear in his disdain for his former team. Well, 1 catch for 10 yards didn’t really draw any attention to him.
Just saw he had 5 catches for 37 yards. 4 catches in garbage time. He said “Gotta get back to the lab.”
As usual in Crab-land, talk is the main thing. Performance is yet another elusive thing.
chuck- It really makes one wonder just what goes on in some peoples minds. Both Crabby and Aldon were placed on a silver platter and I guess they just wanted more.
Yeah, it is but to wonder how much more success they’d have had they only been appreciated.
Jesus. Talk about missing the point. Crabs held out, got hurt for 4 straight camps, has gone through various injuries, has one good year, and we are the problem? Welcome to hell, Mr. Crabs.
Aldon on the other hand only got to play hours after he committed a crime. Threw a party where numerous crimes took place, and then after strike 4 was cut.
Here’s your rope Aldon.
Carr was having a bad day early, and still it was only 10-0 with the ball at midfield when his hurt his hand. The wheels came off quickly after McCown came in and they went for the 4th and 1.
*he hurt
Fans will be handed black shirts to wear during tonight’s game.
#BlackUnisMatter
Raiders better leave Oakland soon. It’s LA or bust for them.
Add Chris Culliver to the list of “Get a Fuk’n Clue”.
Already suspended in DC for yet another conduct infraction.
Where’s Dr Harry Edward’s or, his current protege’, in our locker room?
My guess is Aldon comes up dirty again this year too. Crabs will just be injured.
I’ve got to admit, part of me wants the Niners to fall flat on their faces tonight. Not because of my 5-11 prediction; I’ll be happy to see that blown away IF they make the playoffs. But the unis! Now, that’s another matter. Jed is just stupid enough to change the team colors. I mean, WHY BLACK? HAS JED NOT HEARD OF THE OAKLAND RAIDERS??????????
If you have to try out some other uni, OK, try crimson and gold.
#BlackUnisSuck
I don’t like the idea either especially on opening day. I think it is just the sign of the times. Jed had to have had a marketing report on this and there must be a dollar to be made somewhere.
All I know is if we do stink up the place tonight there will be no satisfaction in it for me.
Of course a win would be nice but the main goal of just don’t stink it up before your home crowd as the Raiders just laid an egg. That’s the worst.
The Falcons have dominated the 1st half of the 1st qtr. except for 2 things:
1) Ryan’s lousy pass that the CB dropped on drive 1.
2) Ryan’s endzone pass that the Eagles CB made a leaping 1 handed catch on on drive 2.
3-0 Falcs
Bradford’s missed on 2 key passes early. That last one, slightly overthrown, would have been 6.
Seriously who gives a shot about the unis. It’s a marketing sign of the times. Baseball does it, basketball as well. The Niners have held out for a few years. I mean look at pittsburgh’s fuckin bumblebee unis. Those are bad. So we look like Texas Tech….
Next up: Neon Blue field like Boise St.
Hey if it stays in place . . .
Mark my words: Kelly is going to regret trading Foles and dumping Tebow. So far, it’s been all Falcons except the score: 10-3
20-3 TEEBOW! TEEBOW! Seriously, Kelly’s going to start missing Foles real soon.
This looks nothing like the preseason Eagles, like they used it all up already.
The bad thing about all this is that the FLOCKiNG COWPUKES are going to alone in first. Good thing for my sanity it’s early in the season.
Looks like the Aussie made the 46 man roster for the game.
Good! I told an Aussie friend that absolutely he would play. LOL, I was guessing.
Why doesn’t Chris Berman just retire already? I’m so sick of hearing his schtick. He’s become nothing more than a caricature of himself. And to add insult to injury, ESPN has decided to pair him with Trent Dilfer. Yikes.
We’re finally getting an extended look at Carlos Hyde. So far, so good.
Hochuli can be put out to pasture along with Berman.
Everything looked perfect until MMartin’s holding.
Nice so far. Like the patience and blocking. Hyde looks solid.
That got ugly fast,
Lets return rhe favor
Miss!!
Dodged a bullet. Battle of the Ugly so far.
Yeah, I said the same thing, RTF> The Rams got the better end of the Foles/Bradford trade.
It was weird, though. Bradford looked good in the second half. But only 8 carries for DeMarco? Most of those I saw in the second half when they started clicking. Maybe I missed something. I saw two swing passes to DeMarco early????? Matthew dropped another big pass early, not just the last O play. Just ugly, but Foles would have found a way.
Love the fast paced offense. If we can keep up the run, we’ll get Smith open deep.
Fucking Hochuli.
Bridgewater has a funky looking delivery, to me. 2 of his first 3 throws were way off the mark.
Mostly good so far
Took Bush, what, 3 plays to go out?
What a concept! A blitz! Tartt can fly!
That was The Blitz of the Year. Too bad on Hayne’s first ever play.
Looks like Bush is done for the year. Unbelievable.
Maybe the Aussie will get a chance to redeem himself now with Bush out.
The guy fielded punts cleanly the entire preseason, then bones the first on in the regular season. I guess you chalk that one up to nerves. Hopefully.
The wind blew it short and fooled him.
The D is looking mighty tough so far, and on all fronts.
Love it he goes for it lol
Fuck Bush. That run should have gone to Hyde.
Christ. Penalties.
Fuck me.
All of these runs should be going to Hyde, especially on a 3rd and 1. Since when is Reggie Bush a between-the-tackles runner?
LOL
My best buddy just says to me
Um why are the 49ers uniforms like that
OMG
They look like power rangers
That was not a first down
As long as they kick ass like the power rangers, I’m good with it.
“Unexcuseable.” That’s Trent Dilfer, ladies and gentleman, college graduate.
Bethea with a hell of a play. Got a little arm bar in there.
That worked out nice.
Big Tank with his first sack of the year.
OK, can we play clean now?
Hyde can turn the corner nicely. Great block by Miller.
Nice
Carlos Hyde
Special teams ace
Mcray
Another Baalke find
Great GM
Penalties and mental errors killing the Niners so far. Hayne with another great dead-leg juke.
Nope.
Need the defense to create a turnover at this rate.
Completely sloppy game so far.
Yeeesh. Bust it, Hayne.
cost ’em a td that time
Unbelievable. Shit play by Brock.
Wow. This is fucking ridiculous.
IMHO
Ellington for PR
Hayne for KR
I like Hayne as the punt guy, because his first move is upfield and he has great cutting ability. Ellington always seems to want to go sideways first. Coming out of the endzone, it’s not as much of an issue.
What is that? 10 penalties so far?
New team needs time
Young
Not much WR game yet. Like to see something downfield.
Need big plays now
You’d think Dilfer would know our coach’s name.
6 penalties for 43 yards so far.
And a lost touchdown. Fucking Hyde looks quick and strong, a real beast.
As usual, this NFL game is like most of them now = NBP.
Nothing but Penalties.
Nearly unwatchable.
I’ll check the Giants game, look for Niner highlights later, if there are any.
At least it looks like the plays are getting in on time. Halleluia…
Opening week is always sloppy
Nice
I agree 100% snarkk. All day Sunday, I’m thinking about this. The officials have so much hand in these games nowadays that it can make the games near unwatchable at times. It’s way too much and needs to be addressed. Granted, it’s the early part of the season, but this is ridiculous.
tthe Giants game is half done; into the 5th inning. They’ve scored 4.
well, Carlos Hyde sure had a half. but still . . . .
Just got to finish a drive.
Fucking Davis almost dropped that one too.
Hyde has great patience. Playing behind Gore last year really helped him.
WOW!!!
Like that!! Frank who?
Hyde outgained gore after the 1st qtr
Just told her
We are not going to be denied this time
These two teams are NOT ready for prime time. Preseason is useless in preparing teams to put on a decent effort.
Snarkk, some of this is on the teams. Blatant shit like the illegal blocks are easy to call. It’s the personal fouls that don;t need to be called, like one on the Rams defense that was completely legal that need to be reviewed. Like Brooks a couple years ago and his legal hit on Brees.
The Niners are confusing Teddy with their varied blitzes and mixed coverages. He looks like a confused sophomore, much like Carr yesterday.
That spin move was sublime. I’m loving this kid so far and the suspect o-line has done a decent job pass blocking and an excellent job run blocking.
Did I ever mention how much I hate the 3 man rush, especially when you’re having success blitzing?
How do you feel about one guy rushing?!
Not sure, I thought I was hallucinating. I saw a second guy blitzing.
How about one man rush
That was an excellent drive; 11 plays, 93 yards.
Jesus. Are you kidding me???
Fucking Brooks shouldn’t even be playing, Stupid shit there.
That was within 5 yards of the LoS, so a dubious call to begin with. Brooks has played well this half.
Second observation by my bestie
OMG
Adrian Peterson looks like one of the wayans brothers
Homie the molester . . .
I don’t understand Bridgewater with that play.
Let’s hope they fix these penalties in the 2nd half.
My guy Taylor Mays off the streets to starting for the Raiders!!!
Yikes. How bad can it get?
Both safeties are out with serious injuries. The Raiders D is suspect as it is, Khalil Mack or not.
Another blitz! 2 more than we saw last year!
Steve Young and Jerry Rice are at the Giants game tonight.
A blitz followed by a 3 man rush? Dont like that.
2 generous spots there
Challenge the fucking play! That wasn’t a first down!
Calf injury for Bush, per ESPN.
Speaking of fast defenses, we don’t look too bad ourselves.
Need more touchdowns. They started the game going downfield, then went away from it. Keep Hyde going then start play-faking.
