Saturday Night Special

Onward and upward to Seattle. Hate to jinx it but I’m feeling better about this game than the last meeting between these two teams. Mainly because of Trent Williams being here, Ricky Pearsall getting some limited action, Juice filling in nicely for the injured Kittle, and most importantly Robert Saleh trusting his linebacking corps being able to support the run more and play up instead of in no-man’s (zone) land.

Beyond that, Sourdough Sam has his own lingering oblique (obtuse?) injury (and BTW how do you get hurt during the bye week?) but anyway, he has the ignominy of his major crash-and-burn in last year’s playoff in Minnesota to deal with. So, as I’ve said a thousand times, when it is 3rd and long, blitz the fuck out of Darnold. Hit him and he’s skittish for the rest of the game.

As usual, stop the run, and get CMC going. I would love to also see two TE sets with Juice in front of CMC. If Seattle is gonna play their nickel to stop our run, we need to bring the beef and hit ’em in the mouth at the line.

    This game kinda reminds me of the 60’s Bears when Butkus was destroying anyone in his space. The Bears didn’t win a whole lot of games in those years but no team ever wanted to play them. So tomorrow night I would love to see us bring everything we got don’t let up play 49er football and make sure they feel it.

    Yeah, they drafted Butkus and Sayers 3 and 4 AFTER the 49ers drafted Ken (3 yards and a cloud of dust) Willard at 2. And they still struggled terribly.

    Huh. 5 of the 7 NFL Network commentators picked the Niners to win this game.

      Due to Darnold being questionable (if not for the game, for playing injured).

        Yeah I could see that Blade, we will be able to tell on Sourdough Sam Ithe 1st thru drives he plays! If he’s in the pocket the oblique won’t affect him as much as rolling out imo which should affect is mobility imo..

        My theory go after him hard, and hit him in the right knee,hit him in the left knee, hit him in the weenie!

        I’m down with that AK!

  3. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    Quite a hit that linebacker, Williams, took on the opening kickoff. Helmet to helmet. Ouch!

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

      Both those players injured per the sideline reporter. This hurts more for Denver(LB is really good and will be missed).

      Good! I hope they lose this fucking game. So far, they are blowing it with an easy TD catch (oops! A miss); and, poor coverage on Bill receivers.

    Tackle Eligible Lineman Crum??gets a TD as Peyton pulling out all stops in this game as that was sure not a crummy play call..

  5. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    Bills (QB) really blew that last 30 seconds or so of play. lmao . . .

  6. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    . . . and another turnover.

  7. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    If I typed “morons” into my GPS, I’d end up in the Bills huddle.

  8. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Crazy game Nix with a Pick and Allen follows it up by a pick as well! Turnover feast all of a sudden..

  9. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    Yeah AK, it’s like neither team wants it. lqtm.

  10. willedav's avatar willedav says:

    surprised at all the QB runs Bills call, but they seem to work.

    Hope they can hold on.

    Buffalo 66 is hilarious movie.

      I got to watch that movie Willie . . . Any movie that has a cast of Ben Gazzara, Jan Michael Vincent, Anjelica Huston, Christina Ricci, Rossana Arquete, Mickey Rourke and other . . . umm, “eccentric” or weird cast members, I want to see. Not to mention it is one of the greatest independent movies I have yet to see. Thanks for the reminder Willie.

  13. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Well that’s not the way to start

  14. 12th Man's avatar 12th Man says:

    Kyle still deferring

  15. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    ???? . . . Not the start I envisioned.

  16. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Unreal so much for the ST great play for most of the season

  17. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    Brilliant. Up the middle in a cloud of dust. Next . . .

  18. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Jesus.How stupid.

  19. 12th Man's avatar 12th Man says:

    Their D has 10 guys inside 10 yards

  20. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    2 runs got you nothing, the pass would have gotten you a 1st down,

  21. 12th Man's avatar 12th Man says:

    winters kept the 9ers in the game

  22. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    And now a Tonges fumble after the catch! The Nightmare continues!!

  23. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Well the D came to play

  24. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Gee. Every mistake possible.

  25. Locojuan's avatar Locojuan says:

    Fuck,

  26. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    We were favored? Hilarious.

  27. 12th Man's avatar 12th Man says:

    Not exactly an ideal start.

    Renardo Green got a serious chewing from Shanahan, he missed 2 assignments in a row, really bad.

  28. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Kyle needs to call two plays and go no huddle on the second play

  29. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    I don’t think I’m suicidal but that Saturday Night Special looks like a bad omen right now Chuck
