Free agency is over. The draft is over. All that’s left before the season starts is training camp and preseason. The 49ers shitcanned an entire coaching staff (have fun with your $10 mill, Jimmy T!) and hired an offensive guru who will bring his hyperdrive offense to the Team Under the Bay. I even speculated months before it happened that it would be mildly interesting to see how Colin Kaepernick and Chip Kelly could run a mobile wide open offense.
However, the brain trust (insert Abby Normal joke here) bad-mouthed and whisper-trashed Kaepernick for half of last season before overvaluing him this offseason and demanding too much, and eventually crying uncle while Kappy still gets paid. Kappy did his own balloon-floating by stating his desire to go to the Jets.A no-go as the Jets are still courting Ryan Fitzpatrick (and his evil twin/lover Patrick Fitzryan) Denver diddled around and didn’t pull the trigger, and so here we are. With an untested offense, a disgruntled quarterback who has a huge distrust of the front office, and oh yeah, a right tackle who is engaging in his own tweet battle with the front office.
Sure, we’re stable. Stable as Kim Jong Ill. The question is, do we have reason to be optimistic? Teams around us appear to be treading water. Seattle lost beast mode. Although his replacement chewed us up pretty well last year. Their defense isn’t nearly what it once was. AZ is still being led by Captain Crunchy Carson Palmer. A guy who never met a playoff game he excelled in. And then there’s the recently re-minted LA Rams. Meh. I’ll believe them when I see them actually do something They’ve been the team on the rise for 8 seasons now with nothing to show for it. At least we rose to higher heights and then crashed spectacularly into a heap of smoking wreckage. They’ve just been fair to poor for nigh a decade. As Neil Young once said, it’s better to burn out than it is to rust.
Forty Niners Forever 
Yeah, you’d think that if someone can get some mileage out of Kaepernick, it would be Chip.
In Chip we trust.
Just thank god Kelley doesn’t have personnel power ! I’d need a gun !
Dear Steph,
Get well quick. All is forgiven. The check is in the mail. Don’t worry, the dog recovered.
Signed,
Every Warrior fan who watched Game 3 in Portland
Well, I don’t think the bench can play any worse. Actually most of the starters sucked as well. Anyone not named Klay or Draymond sucked. Even without Steph one more game, I think we’ll be OK.
I expected the Warriors to lose that game. Blazers play well at home, it’s the playoffs so it’s to be expected.
Cueto so far he’s a great addition for the Giants. He’s unique too not like anyone else in playing style.
If he holds up he’s a great addition, even though we’ve had some small losing streaks I think we will be there in the end. There are flaws with every team in our division.
Cain MAY get better. I think Peavy is toast. They need to sign Timmy. He can’t do any worse than the toxic twins. Between Cain and Peavy,they’ve won one more game than I could have.
One thing the W’s have done perfectly all year is follow up a clunker with a focused, energetic and well-played game. I expect a win tonight, Steph or no Steph.
This is a serious period of dead calm in the NFL year and it sucks. You get the big hoopla of the draft then nothing for 2 full months. Yuck.
Just thank god Kelley doesn’t have personnel power ! I’d need a gun
Well, I think he had something to do with this draft. How much is anybody’s guess, but we needed O line help, ad at least we got some.
It is definitely wait and see time. But this is the time for high hope and I still have a few. But not many.
Learn something every day. Didn’t know Johnny Rivers was the first house band to play the Whiskey A-Go Go in LA.
Good guitarist.
I used to love Johnny Rivers when i was a kid.
A little history
OK, I’m done
Zeppelin were the masters at stealing shit from the likes of Leadbelly and Robert Johnson.
Got another trifecta tonight.
Sharks at 6:00, Giants at 7:15, and the Warriors at 7:30. Be still my remote . . .
I hate when the refs play this so chickenshit,
Warriors shitting another turd tonight. The Blazers are in their heads now and the Warriors can’t stop anyone on that team. The Portland players have been strolling into the lane all night. Harrison Barnes, another no-show effort.
The entire dynamic of the series has shifted.
I’ve counted at least 5 missed layups in the first half.
