Clint Longley Anyone?

Some of you might be old enough to remember the famous Thanksgiving game from 1974 where Clint came in early in the 3rd quarter with Dallas trailing the Redskins 16-3, fighting for their playoff lives, and Roger Staubach freshly injured. He scored 2 TDs on his first two drives, and hit a hail-Mary TD with seconds remaining to win the game 24-23. The triumph of the uncluttered mind, indeed.

So, who thinks Gabby Gabbertson can be the next uncluttered mind? Yeah, thought so. So Niners in a nail-biter 28-27. Hah! Either that, or Gabbert punches Kaepernick in the face. This season went from guarded optimism to morbid curiosity in rather a hurry, since we’re going to hell in a bucket,  we might as well enjoy the ride.

    Niners are without their best WR, Boldin, Best RB, Hyde, (probably) 2 starting CB, Acker and Brock, have 3 RB not on the 53 roster 10 days ago, called up 2 CB from the practice squad, are starting Gabbert and the O line remains the same lineup.

    Niners 24-17

    Sure, why not.

    Not game day related but it’s not every day a beat writer slaps the shit out of his fellow beat writers:

    http://www.ninersnation.com/2015/11/8/9679262/knock-this-crap-off

    This guy is absolutely right. He is taking a shot at LoCo and LoCo Jr and I think Kawakami. Don’t know who else is getting the sharp edge of his tongue.

    Lowell slapped Kap personally and Grant does it all the time. It is out of line for “professional” journalists.

      I dunno, 12th. I distinctly remember Glenn Dickey of the Chron criticizing Joe for Jennifer giving birth during the season. It distracted Joe, you see, and caused a loss.

      Hack journalism is what it is and Cohn’s made a living at it.

    I do remember that Clint Longley game. Unfortunately.
    The Randy Elliot of ’70s NFL football…

    With the Niner’s secondary basically manned today by guys off the street, that’s got to be pretty good news for Julio Jones. He should get over 100 yds in passes today without breaking a sweat…

    Yowza. Like I said all starting blabbers shows is the depth of ineptitude.

    Huh. Way to go Tomsula

    Wow! Niners score a TD!

      Quack! Said the mallard looking at Kaepernick who’s sitting on the bench. Gabbert’s already outperforming #7 in the RZ. Same shitty OL and RBs who they literally picked up off the street this week.

      Take off those goddamn headphones! And shave that goddamn beard while you’re at it. Kap looks like he’s auditioning to be the newest member of ISIS after the Niners shit-can his sorry ass.

    Cromartie is in . Where’s acker and brock ?

  11. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Fair catch on the 6?

    Liked the play action for the TD

  12. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Great game between the Steelers and Raiders. Oakland is up and coming and have a legitimate star ing the making in Derek Carr. After watching Kaepernick for so long, it’s amazing how much more of a feel for the game Carr has in his second season. Even Crabs looks like a stud again.

  13. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Ellington should know better

  14. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Someone tell these clowns not to run the ball out over 5 yards deep in the end zone.

    Otherwise we’re pinned deep afain

    Indy smacking the Broncos around. I had the Broncs in ink in this one.

    How the hell do you let that shit happen!!!

  17. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Terrible d to close the half. Bowman should not be covering the slot WR.

  18. rtfirefly's avatar rtfirefly says:

    Broncos 84 yard punt return for a TD as time expired in the 1st half. Holy scheist, maybe Peyton truly is a child of destiny.

  19. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    This is all about Atl’s middling D. Got to get out of the hole here.

    Simpson is a fool.how do you drop that?

    Broncos bomb from Peyton after escaping the rush and moving up in the pocket.

    So Chuck supports ISIS. At least I know where you stand.

  23. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Gabbert got flogged. Might have to watch Kap by default.

  24. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    I am at the game what happened to Gabbert?

    • rtfirefly's avatar rtfirefly says:

      Got creamed. Clean hit under the old rules, but there was helmet to helmet contact (not much). Pulled under concussion protocol by Niners trainer who will soon be out of a job.

  25. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    And Kap is greeted with boos. How low can it get for #7?
    Proceeds to overthrow the wide open TE. Catchable ball. But would have needed extraordinary effort. No touch whatsoever. Nothing new.

    And Gabbert returns!

    Remember James Gabbert from ch. 20? First guy to put the yule log on TV.

      Queerer than a three dollar bill but I liked his station except for the late night party show. That was weird. Friend of mine back when I was waiting tables in college (a fellow waiter) co-owned a houseboat with him.

    How many balls have the Niner receivers dropped today? 5 right in their hands? No wonder Kap throws balls out of bounds. He wants to save time on the incompletion…
