So far we’ve lost players, games, and the backing of the police. Think the Chipster is maybe rethinking his job choices? Hey, it’s a paying gig, and really, if he can get something out of this team resembling decent football his stock will rise pretty high. But as it stands now, the team still looks like a clusterfuck nightmare. There’s no apparent front office turmoil, and they haven’t weighed in on the Kappy deal other than to say it’s within his rights as an American to sit for the anthem, but there is still a swirling miasma of unanswered questions about the team, why the front office has been ignoring the QB position in the draft, the WR position in the draft, and basically sat on its thumbs while having scads of cash available to sign free agents. Signing a backup guard is hardly ground breaking stuff.
Whatever the anthem fallout is, Chip is saying Kappy is still part of the team, and still part of the QB race. Granted, I think Kappy has two blown tires and is leaking oil at an alarming rate, but who the fuck knows? A bad performance against San Diego’s Walmart brigade could spell the end for Kaepernick here or anywhere. A good performance? Well, there are teams like Dallas and Denver who at this point are dealing with major uncertainty at the QB spot. So, a trade is a possibility I suppose. Jerry Jerk-off loves him some craziness so he could very well trade for him. Elway? Well, I think the water has cooled significantly on that one. Even with Denver looking like they may implode themselves.
Beyond that, the game tonight will be a picture of ugly Americans lashing out at someone going out on a limb. The mob mentality will prevail and the potential for a lot of ugliness exists. I have no problem with the military or supporting the job they do, but I also think there are systemic problems with the police in this country.
Forty Niners Forever 
The earth didn’t stop spinning.
Nice catch there by Drez.
Well, there you go. 2nd stringers, but opening TD.
Jesus. The playpen is in full moron mode.
Fuck, Kappy. Follow your block.
Apparently Eric Reid joined Kaep in that stupid protest tonight? Jesus, it’s not enough for my team to just suck in anonymity but now they have to be getting world wide attention for something that has nothing to do with football or the team. It pisses me off actually……
They are getting paid handsomely to play football. And they can’t even do that right. If I were Kaep I’d focus more on lifting weights, getting stronger and trying to make the fucking team. Not all this protest nonsense……
Well, the right to protest is certainly something Americans are supposed to be able to do, and lots of other players have done. Up to and including Jesse Owens, Tommie Smith, John Carlos, Jackie Robinson, and plenty of others.
I don;t give a shit either way. But I don’t begrudge him doing it.
Jackie Robinson said, “I cannot stand and sing the anthem. I cannot salute the flag. I know that I am a black man in a white world.”
Bad read by Kappy there. All in all, decent though. Kappy is our 2nd string guy.
yippee. 11-18 for 103. 38 yards rushing.
I didn’t think he looked good enough to be the back up. Especially for 12 mil.. He had a clean pocket and as a veteran should have done much better. Should’ve had 2 picks, one was saved by Dres, one was dropped. He would’ve been eaten up by a first team defense.
And Driskell wouldn’t? Or Ponder? We’re dealing with what we got.
And we got shit for 12 mil. I’m glad you are happy, I am not.
You really think we are going to cut him?
I ain’t happy. We won’t go anywhere with Gabbert or Kappy. Or Driskell or Ponder.
i fucking begrudge the fuck out of him for doing this. As fans of a shitty team, this is supposed to be OUR time. We are 0-0, hope is technically still there. But no. Kaep and now Reid are fucking casting a dark cloud on this team and taking even THIS TIME away from us. Fuck them. This powerless protest is going nowhere. All it’s doing is making everything feel like a total drag. Nothing to look forward to this season (as a NIner fan)
It is feeling that way for me too flavor if Kap isn’t cut. He is polarizing us big time. Unca loves the sitters others like us hate it. I’m close to just saying fuck it.
if this led to some wide spread thing and it directly impacted changes when it comes to police brutality and bad cops I’d be all for it. But I just don’t see where this goes other than making our team look like shitheads to the rest of the world. I just want to root for my football team. That’s it. I accept they will suck, I don’t care. But now I’m looking at multiple dudes now protesting the national fucking anthem and just going, “look this has nothing to do with football! Play fucking football! And while you’re at it, start playing it better.” 😦
Again, Were Tomnmie Smith and John Carlos wrong? Jackie Robinson?
Who’s to say it doesn’t foment change? That’s the whole idea.
No one has walked a mile in his shoes. Or Jackie’s or the others.
They are likely going to suck either way. This move may very well drive more fans away. Oh well.
If that’s all it takes to drive people out, then so be it. Greg Hardy was a convicted felon who missed 4 games. Didn’t seem to bother that many people. Lawrence little killed a woman driving drunk. Ho hum. The league is filled with murderers, druggies, and roiders, yet people flip out over this.
Was Jackie Robinson wrong to do what he did? Or the Olympians?
Bercovicci already looks better than Kap.
I’m not even making it to the game starting before I get pissed off. I watch these fuckers sitting for the anthem and I’m like, “fuck this, you guys can suck my dick. Now I’m supposed to root for you to win? And you’re not even gonna win, you’re gonna be awful??” Kaep/Reid/the next guys to join them are making me not even want to turn the game on
Jeremy Lane of the Seahawks joined the fray tonight and sat for the national anthem. It’s going viral.
“Who’s to say it doesn’t foment change. That’s the whole idea.”
Again, look, if I thought this was going to amount to anything, I’d be behind it. But I give it like a 5000-1 shot of impact any great change. And while I would like to see change in that area of society I really just want to take 3 hours a week off my life and watch a football game. Hopefully we win. But I want to at least be able to root for these fuckers. But all they’re doing is being negative as fuck. For who? For what? Come on, nothing is going to change. If it does, feel free to throw this post in my face later. Meanwhile, what do we get to look forward to as fans this year?
That’s the point. It ain’t your bet to make, besides.
I don’t understand why this pisses people off so much. Again, beat up women, kill people, roid up for the game, yaaaaawn. Sit for a song? DIIIEEEEE MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!
Baffling. The anthem isn’t even shown for games. No one will know anyway.
Who’s saying that other stuff isn’t pissing people off? With the anthem it’s a respect thing, respect for the country and the people who died defending it. A lot of us take that stuff seriously.
Do you hear protests over Rice anymore? Or Hardy? No. Pacman has 2 jail stints under his belt. Do you really think the league is serious about roid testing? Please. Of all the problems the league has, this is nothing.
uh, I totally disagree. It is likely dividing the team. Did you see the pics tonight? Next to Kaep and Reid are players standing up straight and holding the hand over their hearts which is usually reserved for god bless america. You can say it’s just sitting and on the surface that’s true. I happen to think it’s having deeper impact than that inside the team. You think all the players want to deal with this bullshit? I bet many of them resent Kaep. And what is guaranteed is that there is now a divide on the team over something that has NOTHING to do with football. They need to be united to have ANY chance of not sucking. now this bullshit…..
Kappy isn’t even going to play anyway. Big whoop.
Nice pick by Rashard. Shit throw there.
I’m surprised Reid joined in, he seems a little more grounded. Guess not. I’m with you guys, this is sucking the marrow out of the coming season. After watching the Giants flounder for the past 7 weeks, I was looking for the change of pace of football. Now it feels tainted.
Tainted? Jesus. The shit you have to go through.
Mike Davis looks pretty good. So much for Driskell. 2 picks in 3 passes. Does he look better than Kappy, Bergs?
Are you stupid? Or just acting the part?
Look, I don’t particularly agree with what he’s doing ESPECIALLY the timing of it.
But I can’t judge him or denigrate him one bit for doing it. Because no one knows what he or any of the others that are protesting, or have protested, have gone through. Hundreds of athletes caught shit for converting to Islam. All of them caught shit for being selfish and putting themselves ahead of their teams. Then it became ho-hum.
Looks like Ponder gets the nod over Driskell. At least he’s not throwing easy picks.
Jesus. The NFL is retarded in how they enforce PI.
Marcus Rush needs to take Wilhoite’s spot at ILB.
