This is my son and I yesterday at the game. While it is a vast improvement of my looks, I was surprised not to see more dissension. Must have had about 50-60 people ask to take our picture. Walking to my car, we got a lot of honks and thumbs ups.
Futile protest? Sure. But what else is there? Not going? My son wanted to see a game at the new digs, so we did it. Our last game was in 2013. Who knew that was the beginning of the end? At best the stadium was a little over half full. Even on the shady side. For a stadium that is brand new and a team that is 3 years removed from the NFC Championship game, this is a precipitous fall.
Bitch as you will about the QB situation, this team has so many holes it resembles Swiss cheese, minus the cheese. The ‘defense’ gave up another 150 + rushing performance to recent couch surfer Jaquizz Rodgers. And 250 total rushing yards on their way to 513 total these last TWO games.
As is with recent games, we seem to own the first quarter. The opening kickoff was a near perfect drive as Kaepernick and co drove 75 yards in 6 plays, with Kappy going 2-2 for 41 yards, and CK getting 7 on a run with Mike Davis sealing the deal with 12 yards and the score (plus a 15 yard headhunting call). The teams traded punts until Gerald Hodges picked off a tipped pass at the TB 38 and ran it to the TB 17. One play later it was 14-0 as CK fired a bullet to Shaun Draughns in the front corner of the end zone.
14-0 at the end of the first quarter. You know the rest. We were outscored 34-3 for the rest of the game. Kappy threw a stupid pick to kill a drive. VMcD was covered like a blanket and Kappy threw it to the DB. Streater killed the next drive with a drop on 3rd and 2. The high-powered Shit Chipper offense then started throwing 4 yard passes. all to no avail as the half ended.
Still and all, we were only down 17-14, and we stopped TB on their opening drive to the 3rd. Of course Mo and Kerley muff the punt giving the Bucs the ball back. Another potential drive was killed by a 15 yard drop by VMcD and the defense kept failing. The Niners get a little drive going, and elect to kick a FG, which I thought was stupid as it still left us down 2 scores. It looked even dumber when we gave up a 44 yard TD run to the TB mascot. And they don’t even have one.
Forty Niners Forever 
Well what a surprise! We don’t have to wait until Christmas for the Warriors first loss. The media has really gone nuts with the Warriors being undefeatable. Spurs took care of business the very first game on the Warriors home court! Ouch!
Help! I can’t get up and I’m a 49ers fan! Help!
And I’m so ugly I could use one of those BLEEP JED YORK bags.
I give Baalke 0 credit for anything Scotty did. Why? Because we have shredded talent like my black lab sheds hair since Scott left. With Gamble or without, the talent goes away.
This organization goes nowhere with Baalke manning the draft. Yeah Paraag is an obstacle. I’ve said all along that Jed needs to grow some balls and get his father and Denise out of the building. Paraag as well.
They HAVE to start over. Anything now is just staggering blindly in the dark.
Three blind mice……….
This is what Harbaugh craved, highest paid coach:
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000727825/article/harbaugh-passes-saban-to-become-cfbs-highestpaid-coach
Harbaugh is the man!
Rich man too.
I bet he doesn’t shop at Walmart anymore.
Sure he does. I’m sure he still drives a 10 year old pickup too.
It’s called the cult of personality and cultivating personality.
He bought a house on the same street where Bo Schembechler used to live for God’s sake.
Just an FYI, Chuck. I’m having worlds of trouble getting on here lately. WordPress, my own Microsoft updates, virus? Dunno, but if I disappear that’s why. I’m tempted to go into hibernation right now and wake just in time for the draft, anyway. All I’ve got left to hope for in the season is improvement on the offense. I surely don’t expect anything anymore from the defense I was banking on for my 7-9 prediction.
Haven’t seen any problems on my side, Rufus. I’ll che k it out though.
CUBS win!
The play pen is in full revisioinista mode.
Phil parrots what I said 2 years ago about Harbaugh and calls it his own. Yet again. What a sad excuse for a man. Jesus, come up with an original thought not spoon-fed to you by NoFear.
Fucking idiot. Sorry you got hit in the head with too many coconuts there, skippy.
And poor little skeebie gets all keyboard tough with his skirts protected by his sychophants. If you don’t think Harbaughs dream job was Michigan, well you are at sub-cretin levels of intelligence. Oh yeah. I’m surprised St Jim hasn’t dug up Bo and planted him in his living room. And NoFear, you were much more enjoyable dead.
Spitty is as spitty does. 90% noise, 10 % signal. At least he’s calling out the poor entitled little closet racists over there. Since skeebie is a chickenshit little pussy who want Donald to grab his, someone has to call out the trailer trash.
Rtf didn’t see anything of yours stuck in the filters so the problems might be on your side.
Read a good suggestion regarding our 2 potential Trade options involving Staley and Torrey.
Staley to MN for a ’17 2nd and ’18 5th (which, of course, would put him back together with Boone)
I’d take that deal. MN needs a LT.
Torrey to Philly straight up for LB Mychal Kendricks
I’d do that deal too.
We need LB help. (Among other things)
Well you’re nuts, Chuck. Harbs didn’t try to trade himself to Cleveland. It’s clear that the Jed/Paraag/Baalke cabal hated Harbs’ call for more power. As usual, Jimbo was absolutely right. The others are football morons. Kawakami tweeted today that’s there is FAR more to the shit that happened than has been reported and he hinted that he might get around to reporting it eventually but that he can’t now.
My hope now is that The Chipster goes back to college in January. This will put the bullseye squarely on the cabal. 4 head coaches in 4 years does not look good, and wait till no HC nor FA worth a shit will come here and we’re stuck signing guys working at Safeway in free agency to burn the cap money. That’ll be a riot and we can rival this year’s team for lack of wins.
Therein lies the problem RT.
Even if they could get out from under the current Contract with Chip, who would be beating a path to fill the vacancy after the recent track record of revolving HCs?
This garbage has gone on for 16yrs already with the York Ownership.
All they could hope to entice is yet another College guy, looking for a break in opportunity to the NFL, who’s neither proven, or too expensive.
Cabal is quite the perfection definition BTW.
The more they blow up the Coaching Staffs, the thinner their hopes of ever being considered a legitimate destination for anyone with talent.
All the moves these clowns have made have been tied to, and around, guys with Business experience.
They re-org for fun it seems.
Paraag was replaced with Al Guido, another guy that specialized in sales and business related endeavors that pertained to some loose Sports interconnection.
None of the ‘football guys’ other than Baalke have survived.
It’s no surprise to me that things have continued to spiral out of control.
It’s all about the stadium and outside interests with the Yorks.
Football Ops itself doesn’t seem to get the sort of attention it desperately needs.
Eddie immersed himself in the Teams he oversaw all those years.
Hence the loyalty and devotion to him to this day.
Need we say more?
That wasn’t always a good thing, NJ but yeah, Eddie was all about the team.
Thing is, I think Harbaugh would have broken whatever deal he signed to get rhat Michigan job. Otherwise where would we be? Would St Jim have stemmed the flow of talent off the team? Would he have drugged Baalke on draft day and made his own picks? The team would still suck with Harbaugh as coach.
No question changes are needed. Even Obama couldn’t solve this mess. Unfortunately the Yorks do not have a good feel for football. Think of all the people they’ve hired except for the Harbaugh years most have been dramatic failures. People have been fired or let go for one reason or another. I guess winning with class is just not possible. Now losing with dignity is all we have left.
‘Losing with dignity’ is the York ownership tenure in a nutshell.
. Only the Yorks can build a new stadium which is more than half empty. If this keeps up Levi’s will be like one of those ghost towns abandoned waiting for a new purpose.
RTF, I have half a mind to think St. Jim’s handlers floated the Harbaugh to Cleveland trial balloon out there to light a fire under Jed’s ass for his extension.
The lengths to which everyone went into denial mode is curious.
The PLOT thickens! Stay tuned for the next game. Now we break for another commercial!
No one really knows the whole story on the Harbaugh situation, just a lot of speculation. The last year he was here our offense stopped being productive, injuries were part of the problem but so was the game plan. We kept running into a brick wall. At the time I thought we were actually able to be a little more innovative mostly because I thought Kap was actually able to run a pro offense. We all know now that he isn’t. Everyone knows Harbaugh is a run first coach and that works as long as you have the ability to pass. Once our defense got so injured that we gave up a lot of points opposing D’s just keyed on the run. It was very hard to watch after having such good play from the prior years. I put a lot of the blame on Harbaugh. I know now that Harbaugh really couldn’t win here with the talent we had no matter how good of a coach he is. Next to Cleveland we have the worst drafting GM in the league. Harbaugh was smart to get out. We have a situation now with the ownership of what are their true priorities. A lot of speculation with this also, but, actions tell a better story than words. I don’t see any real action at all. Once the bottom line starts to be a concern we probably will see some change. Jed’s motives need to be challenged but how to do that I don’t know.
Yeah, that’s pretty much how I feel about the situation. Whether Harbaugh drove it, or the circumstances just fell into magical place, doesn’t really matter. By the time he left though, he saw clearly what was happening within the organization.
Chuck let me propose a new protest activity at the stadium.
Erect Festivus Poles with a York theme.
Everyone can gather ’round and…
AIR GRIEVANCES!
These fu*kers have to go.
Eddie for Owner Again should be flown behind planes too.
That would probably piss Denise off more than anything else.
Shit, give it to Eddie’s daughter. She sounds like she’s got more of a clue than the Kedorkians.
Eddie may not be interested or, legally permitted to return to the NFL but….
There’s another twist you/we can protest on.
Our own Festivus movement…
DeBartolo or York?
HEIR GRIEVANCES
Put it behind a plane, bumper stickers, hats etc.
Yank The Yorks!
Yank the DORKS!
Light a fire under Harbaugh, seriously? After he’s just come from his third straight NFCCG and within 6 inches of reaching the Super Bowl for the second straight year? Remember the timeline. That and not later is when the idiots tried to trade him to the worst franchise in the NFL.
Yeah, that sounds exactly on par with the intelligence of Jed and Paraag’s other moves since they arrived over ten years ago.
I’d lose ALL respect for my employer at that point. So would any man with an ounce of pride.
