Week 2 Discussion Thread

[tjsunstein]

Whoever complained about Brian Kelly's mouth during the Notre Dame game should read Harbaugh's lips right now.

[Splat]

Technically I guess, but in the last two games we've been outscored 89 to 10.. at least these other teams are somewhat competitive. We haven't been competitive on a single down of football.

v4jGSvxCRp4

[SuperMcGee]

Eric Decker breakout. Love it.

[ElectricEye]

Get Matt Light the **** out of there.

[Hurricanes25]

Coach BB has some balls. I'll give him that.

[ElectricEye]

Coach BB has some balls. I'll give him that.

Mesko knee is blown out. We don't have a punter.


....and now we're going to lose. Great.

[Jvig43]

Why the **** does BB have such a fetish for going for it on fourth down at all the wrong times. So ******* stupid.

[BeerBaron]

That looked like kind of a ****** play call for such a key play...

[tjsunstein]

Why did the Pats go for that?

[Raiderz4Life]

Eric Decker breakout. Love it.

I was a huge Decker fan. Shame he plays for the Donks.

[Complex]

Get Matt Light the **** out of there.

He gave Brady like 20seconds before he held.

[ElectricEye]

Why did the Pats go for that?

Mesko is hurt.


This game really blows.

[MetSox17]

Did anyone else see the ******* playclock just stop, giving the 49ers extra time to kick the FG?

[Hurricanes25]

Mesko knee is blown out. We don't have a punter.


....and now we're going to lose. Great.

I'm sure somebody can pooch it down there. The Chargers have great field position now.

[BeerBaron]

Why did the Pats go for that?

Half Belichick hubris and half not having a punter.

[Raiderz4Life]

Why did the Pats go for that?

Cuz they ain't got no punter.

[keylime_5]

looks like Denver is doing a good job of making Andy Dalton look great.

[ElectricEye]

We're getting eaten alive by checkdowns.

[Breed]

Andre the giant makes it look so easy

[phlysac]

Wow! Can't say I EVER remember a coach electing to take a FG and not a defensive penalty giving his team a 1st down.

[tjsunstein]

The guy I'm playing has Schaub and Johnson, so that was a quick 15 points. Only down 16 now with Ryan and Maclin/Nicks left. Not sure who I should go with. Depends on how much I'm down, I guess.

[SolidGold]

Dolphins defense is trash so far this year.

[Raiderz4Life]

SD FUMBLE!!! haha I love it...I love it so much haha

[BeerBaron]

Patriots get bailed out by Tolbert.

[ElectricEye]

Turnovers are really keeping us in this.

[Complex]

Chargers are trying to lose.

[tjsunstein]

Wow! Can't say I EVER remember a coach electing to take a FG and not a defensive penalty giving his team a 1st down.
Please tell me this didn't really happen.

[Razor]

Finally something went our way!

[General Zod]

That looked like kind of a ****** play call for such a key play...

If you tweeted that, Teddy Bruschi would go off on another Corky type rant on you.

"It's the Patriot way"

[Smooth Criminal]

I hate how it feels like I'm listening to New England announcers.

[ShutDwn]

I thought using your feet to tackle was illegal?

[Raiderz4Life]

I thought using your feet to tackle was illegal?

It is...called tripping.

[V.I.P]

Daniel Thomas will have less rushes, and more yards than Reggie Bush.

I found my quote, gotta love the search bar!

[ElectricEye]

Thank Godkowski.

[MetSox17]

Please tell me this didn't really happen.

Yeah it did, it was a 15 yard penalty too lol

[SolidGold]

geez Gronkowski is an animal...i should of started him over witten :(

[Razor]

YoKAcVL_phI

[nepg]

lol.

Mesko is also the holder so the Pats can't kick field goals, either. This sucks.

[Raiderz4Life]

Yeah it did, it was a 15 yard penalty too lol

So let me get this straight, Harbaugh...chose a FG > 1st down via penalty??

[nepg]

So let me get this straight, Harbaugh...chose a FG > 1st down via penalty??
yeah because the field goal put the team up by two scores. It's a solid move to not take points off the board in that situation.

[tjsunstein]

I really thought Harbaugh was better than that.
It does look like he'll be 2-0, though.

[BeerBaron]

I remember getting Gronk in the 3rd round in one of the forum mocks that year. People told me his back was too bad to amount to anything...

[Complex]

Who was covering Mike Williams today? Deion Sanders?

[MetSox17]

So let me get this straight, Harbaugh...chose a FG > 1st down via penalty??

Honestly, i'm not sure if he had the option of getting a first down, but the ref did say "they have elected to enforce it on the kickoff"

[tjsunstein]

yeah because the field goal put the team up by two scores. It's a solid move to not take points off the board in that situation.
So you would kick a FG on 1st down once you got into FG range every time?

[bantx]

******* tolbert ******* tolbert!

[tjsunstein]

Romo continues to get hit.

[bantx]

get gates involved@

[MetSox17]

Romo is making some very clutch throws but god damn we need to protect him. He's getting hit every time.

[BeerBaron]

So you would kick a FG on 1st down once you got into FG range every time?

I didn't see it happen and I don't know the details, but it is a situation thing. If it's late in the game and it puts you up two scores, don't take the points off. Turnovers happen so easily in today's NFL, even moreso when Alex Smith is your QB. Plus, you might just have to kick it again and field goals can be missed...

It's a situational kind of thing.

[M.O.T.H.]

Tony ******* Romo!

That a baby Miles!

[MetSox17]

******* Romo to Austin, *****!

[tjsunstein]

Miles Austin is unfair right now. What a throw and catch.

[Breed]

Who was covering Mike Williams today? Deion Sanders?

Which Mike Williams, Seattle or Tampa Bay?

[Brodeur]

Madieu Williams is so bad.

[nepg]

I really thought Harbaugh was better than that.
It does look like he'll be 2-0, though.
I think either way you go with that decision is a good move. With 11 minutes left, it was too early to worry about running time off the clock with just a touchdown lead. Take the field goal and let your defense play - they've been doing well against the Cowboys all day.

[SolidGold]

**** miles austin

[SuperMcGee]

Awesome touchdown there. Like to see Austin having himself a day.

[tjsunstein]

Jerome Simpson with a huge drop on 3rd and 8, down 2.

[MetSox17]

Hope they don't overrule that. The only time Williams touched him was when he didn't have possession of the ball yet.

[nepg]

The Pats need to improve their third down defense. That's been a huge issue so far this year.

[BeerBaron]

Gates "bothered by something?"

No ******* way...when does that ever happen?

[ElectricEye]

McCourty is not playing well. This really, really sucks.

[BigBanger]

Just keep throwing it to Vincent Jackson.

And McCourty sucks.


WTF is wrong with Gates? Anytime the playoffs or big comes around, he's limping for some reason.

[Razor]

The Pats need to improve their third down defense. That's been a huge issue so far this year.

Well, again this year is the proper term I think. ****!

[Borat]

It was the wrong decision for sure. The Niners would have had a first down at the 23. Could have run more clock. Taking the penalty on the KO was worthless since Akers had all touchbacks so far.

[BeerBaron]

Haha, Rivers was running so awkwardly. That was close to "prancing."

[BigBanger]

Omg Vincent Jackson!!!!

[SolidGold]

wow sick catch by V-Jax

[ElectricEye]

And McCourty sucks.

Blanket statement. He was money last year. This year, yeah.

[JRTPlaya21]

Dangggg aite Jackson!!

[MetSox17]

Miles Austin was planking.

[SuperMcGee]

Vincent Jackson awesome catch. Nice game for him

[phlysac]

Madieu Williams is so bad.

That wasn't bad coverage at all.

[ElectricEye]

I am extremely concerned with McCourty. It's free completions so far this year. Night and day difference between this year and last.

[bantx]

Vjax all day!!

[Razor]

Yeah, he's just not competing like he was last year. BB needs to hand out some humble pie for these guys.

[BigBanger]

Blanket statement. He was money last year. This year, yeah.
I do consider Jackson to be one of the best WRs in the game, even top 5 caliber, but he has been working McCourty over like he's some punk.

[Complex]

Which Mike Williams, Seattle or Tampa Bay?

TB, he gave me negative points and now I am in a close game.

[AntoinCD]

Wow I knew V-Jax was gonna have a nice game because...you know the Pats don't match up well against people who catch the ball, but damn he's beasting today.

[BeerBaron]

So they'll review this ******* play, apparently AFTER the XP.

[Razor]

Patriots DBs has always had a tough time against bigger, more physical wideouts. I don't know what can be done, maybe play some press man. Something needs to be done though, this is awful

[MetSox17]

I am extremely concerned with McCourty. It's free completions so far this year. Night and day difference between this year and last.

So he's pulling an Alan Ball?

[Jvig43]

So they'll review this ******* play, apparently AFTER the XP.

I know what a complete ******* joke.

[diesel]

Vjax all day!!

Miles Austin all day!

[ElectricEye]

I do consider Jackson to be one of the best WRs in the game, even top 5 caliber, but he has been working McCourty over like he's some punk.

Not disputing that at all man. He's getting smoked. There were some warning signs in the pre-season and now it's just out of control. I have no idea what's going on with him this season.

[Breed]

McCourty isn't looking like a pro bowler...

[Complex]

I do consider Jackson to be one of the best WRs in the game, even top 5 caliber, but he has been working McCourty over like he's some punk.

I think he is a top 10-15 WR.

[diesel]

Ware with 2 more sacks today.

[AntoinCD]

Not disputing that at all man. He's getting smoked. There were some warning signs in the pre-season and now it's just out of control. I have no idea what's going on with him this season.

Sophomore slump magnified by no offseason is what Im putting it down to. I expect him to pick it up by midseason and into the postseason which is when the Pats will hopefully need him most

[ElectricEye]

So he's pulling an Alan Ball?

On a much bigger scale. McCourty was damn good last year. A lot of number one receivers walked away with very quiet days.

[BigBanger]

Not disputing that at all man. He's getting smoked. There were some warning signs in the pre-season and now it's just out of control. I have no idea what's going on with him this season.
Well, he did set the bar way too high last year by simply playing past his abilities. He was not that kind of player coming out of college. He's, literally, probably already peaked. He's more of a #2 than a shutdown #1. But this is quite a regression.

[Breed]

I smell a Dallas comeback... Woefully Romo chokes, like always...

[diesel]

Sean Lee is one of our better draft picks in a while. Also, who is that super kicker on San Fran?

[phlysac]

Ware with 2 more sacks today.

Helps when they leave him unblocked.

[Raiderz4Life]

I think he is a top 10-15 WR.

Yea top 10-15. I can name 5+ receivers better than him.

[MetSox17]

clutch catches by... jesse holley?

[ElectricEye]

Once again we've got to play "our QB is better than your QB" and be perfect on offense again. Brady is usually good for it, but we can't win in the playoffs like this. That's all that really matters this year too.

[TitanHope]

McCourty has been up against Brandon Marshall and Vincent Jackson. As a sophomore CB who had no offseason to work on his craft and a team that didn't address the pass-rush in the offseason like they maybe should have, I think it's unfair to hammer the guy for struggling against those two huge, physically imposing WR's.

I mean, he's a McCourty for Bray's sake.

[Hurricanes25]

Great 2nd effort by the law firm.

[Brodeur]

Remember when teams ran the ball?

[phlysac]

Also, who is that super kicker on San Fran?

Pro Bowler Andy Lee.

[ElectricEye]

McCourty has been up against Brandon Marshall and Vincent Jackson. As a sophomore CB who had no offseason to work on his craft and a team that didn't address the pass-rush in the offseason like they maybe should have, I think it's unfair to hammer the guy.

I mean, he's a McCourty for Bray's sake.

I hope you're right. This is pretty f'ing rough though. Last year he was good for this kind of competition and this year he's not at all.

[BeerBaron]

Gronk is on his way to breaking records. By god.

[phlysac]

Remember when teams ran the ball?

Yes. It's all the 49ers have done for the last 3 seasons.

[Complex]

Didn't Newton have back to back 400 yard games?

[ElectricEye]

Gronk>Hernandez. Easily. Even as a receiver. Hernandez is easier to hit because of his play style, but Gronk does far more damage.


But god damn am I happy to have them both.

[SuperMcGee]

Way to not be up to date on Cam Newton happenings, CBS

[MetSox17]

Miles Austin is too ******* good.

[TitanHope]

Haha, I knew Volek was one of the 6 QB's to go over 400 yards back-to-back. And he did it with Drew Bennett! :D

[tjsunstein]

This is a QB's league. Running the ball is for short yardage situations only.

[V.I.P]

Ben Tate with his 2nd consecutive 100 yard game, yes baby!

[BuckNaked]

Ben Tate with his 2nd consecutive 100 yard game, yes baby!

So what's the deal with him and Foster right now?

[BeerBaron]

This is a QB's league. Running the ball is for short yardage situations only.

And most teams will fail at that.

[V.I.P]

So what's the deal with him and Foster right now?
Foster has a hamstring injury.He tried toio play though, ended up re-injuring it.

[MetSox17]

our season's on the leg of dan bailey

[BeerBaron]

Is Mallett holding on kicks now?

[bantx]

damnit ******* patriots fuckkk

[MetSox17]

right down the pipe baby. *exhale*

[phlysac]

our season's on the leg of dan bailey

Can't believe how long he ball was at Brock's feet before your lineman covered it.

[SuperMcGee]

Dan Bailey! Not completely terrible.

[DcmRulz]

What was that!? Cowboys just blew a good chance to win by playing to tie!

[Complex]

One more TD Phillip plz

[DeCrunkMAn]

i rarely post but good lord thank you, Dan Bailey!

[BeerBaron]

Aaaaaaaaand there's another injury for the Pats, just because.

[tjsunstein]

I did predict Andy Dalton would have a winning record as a starter...

[BeerBaron]

I did predict Andy Dalton would have a winning record as a starter...

Did you also predict that all of his games would be against the Browns and Broncos?

[ElectricEye]

Mark Anderson. **** yeah!

[TitanHope]

I hope you're right. This is pretty f'ing rough though. Last year he was good for this kind of competition and this year he's not at all.

'Course I'm right, baby. I'm T ******* H.

Z9rD4Paq0zE

[Raiderz4Life]

WOOOO...Rivers just got SMASHED...love it.

I HATE Phillip Rivers.

[BeerBaron]

Mark Anderson with another garbage time sack this week...He ran himself completely out of the play and, luckily, it just so happened the Rivers forgot about him.

[yo123]

Eric Decker is a stud.

[ElectricEye]

Mark Anderson with another garbage time sack this week...He ran himself completely out of the play and, luckily, it just so happened the Rivers forgot about him.

That's not garbage time my friend. Two scores is not what it used to be.

[tjsunstein]

Did you also predict that all of his games would be against the Browns and Broncos?
That's not something I could predict...

[Basileus777]

Denver wins. Good, Chiefs need their Luck rivals to win games.

[BeerBaron]

That's not garbage time my friend. Two scores is not what it used to be.

Ok, well then they were garbage sacks. Maybe he'll do to you what he did to us. Stumble into enough sacks for you to giving him a starting job, and then DISAPPEAR. It was like playing 10 on 11.

[tjsunstein]

Who has the worse offensive line in this SF/DAL game?

[Complex]

Phillip Rivers 20turnovers and Mike Williams deciding not to show up thank you.

[ElectricEye]

Ok, well then they were garbage sacks. Maybe he'll do to you what he did to us. Stumble into enough sacks for you to giving him a starting job, and then DISAPPEAR. It was like playing 10 on 11.

I hope not. But I'll take an upgraded version of Tully Banta Cain.

[SolidGold]

Andy Dalton...Supastar?

[BeerBaron]

Random question: If the Chiefs and Colts played tomorrow, who would win?

[phlysac]

Who has the worse offensive line in this SF/DAL game?

Two of the worst for sure.

[Go_Eagles77]

Fox should just put Joe Buck and Brian Billick on a broadcasting team together.


And then never use that team.

[Basileus777]

Random question: If the Chiefs and Colts played tomorrow, who would win?

They play in week 5, so I guess we'll find out.

Two of the worst for sure.
All those high draft picks invested in the oline are really working out for SF huh?

[BeerBaron]

They play in week 5, so I guess we'll find out.

But by then they might have things...straightened...

I can't even finish that sentence. It would just be a really lousy game.

[Brodeur]

Holley is a champ.

[SuperMcGee]

Cowbers. Whoaza.

[Breed]

Damn you San Fran

[DcmRulz]

Jesse Holley.

[Go_Eagles77]

What the **** niners.

[DeCrunkMAn]

Holllleyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Raiderz4Life]

I usually cheer against the Cowboys but I don't wanna hear **** from my dad bout the Raiders losing and the 9ers winning.

[BeerBaron]

The Cowboys should have Michael Irvin recruit all of their players...

[SolidGold]

Throw TD to witten pleaseeeeeee

[Breed]

I'd give it to Romo though, he has more toughness than Cutler.

[Raiderz4Life]

Holley needs to stop with all the drama lol

[phlysac]

Couldn't cover anyone all game.

[Hurricanes25]

Good for Romo. You could tell that he's in a lot of pain.

[LonghornsLegend]

Couldn't cover anyone all game.

We know what that feels like. I'm not gonna lie Romo has been pissing me off, but he showed some big balls today.

[SuperMcGee]

That was Whitner that he got behind, wasn't it?

[phlysac]

Heartbreaking as a 49ers fan from the East Coast to see and hear HUGE numbers of fans CHEERING when Bailey wins the game.

Not a fan of the fanbase.

[CashmoneyDrew]

Romo isn't clutch.

Thank God they caught him at the two though. I would lose my fantasy matchup for sure if Romo got that TD.

Eric Deckerz. So damn good.

[Da-Phins]

HAHA gotta love being a Dolphins fan. Oh and for those of you that I laughed at who thought the Dolphins would be one of the worst teams and win 3-4 games, I apologize. You seem to be correct and on the right path with your prediction. 2012 here we come baby! New coach, new QB. Bill Cowher and Andrew Luck we are coming for you!

Cowher maybe, but as bad as you may be, there will be worse teams. At least you managed to stay in both of your games. The Chiefs for instance were blown out twice now.

[M.O.T.H.]

I had no idea Dalton, Simpson, and Green went off tonight.

<3 Simpson.

[Raiderz4Life]

I had no idea Dalton, Simpson, and Green went off tonight.

<3 Simpson.

Would have been cause for concern if they hadn't

[bearsfan_51]

So, five teams in, five teams out, eh?

I'll go with:

(In)
Houston (duh)
Oakland
Buffalo (**** it, we'll do it live)
Washington
San Fran
Detroit

(Out)
Indianapolis (duh)
Chicago
Kansas City
Seattle
Pittsburgh
Atlanta

Bandwaggon city, baby! Even gave you an extra one.

[Bengalsrocket]

I had no idea Dalton, Simpson, and Green went off tonight.

<3 Simpson.

Simpson mostly just had 1 really big catch. Green however though, caught nearly everything thrown his way.

People can say what they want about the defenses we've played against, but Dalton is looking like a real stud. Considering all I've heard is that he's more in the mold of a "back up" type QB from this forum, he's really proving people wrong.

I'm not saying he's even our franchise QB yet, I just really like what he's done so far, regardless of how good the defenses have been (even the Broncos injured defense).

[Raiderz4Life]

Im still waiting for what's gonna happen to Carson.

[Nikolas]

I just have this image of Jerry Jones going up to Romo and whispering in his ear, "If you don't get your ass back in that game RIGHT NOW, I'm calling David Garrard".

[diesel]

I just have this image of Jerry Jones going up to Romo and whispering in his ear, "If you don't get your ass back in that game RIGHT NOW, I'm calling David Garrard".

Nah, he'd call someone a lot more terrible than Garrard.

[Ness]

49ers suck. I really don't know what to say right now. Fixt the secondary, fix the offensive line, and get a new quarterback. Oh and grow a pair Harbaugh. You sucked as a player do you really want to suck as a head coach in the NFL too?

[phlysac]

Still blaming Smith for this? Come on, Ness.


Hyper-reactionary fanbase posting anger all over the net right now. I wish more of these passionate fans were at the Stick so I didn't have to hear cheers when the Cowboys won.

[Raiderz4Life]

Alex Smith does suck though. Today changed nothing.

[Ness]

Still blaming Smith for this? Come on, Ness.

See my post in the main thread? I said he looked good. I just don't think he is the quarterback of the future. He has limited his mistakes, but he still can't make huge plays consistently week in and week out. Really, the 49ers aren't going to be a playoff contender year after year with Smith at quarterback. He's just not very good plain and simple. I don't pin today's loss on him though. That goes to the secondary (jam the ******* receivers morons) and the offensive line.

[Ness]

Alex Smith does suck though. Today changed nothing.

Yes. He does suck. Unfortunately he's the best we have right now.

[Raiderz4Life]

Yes. He does suck. Unfortunately he's the best we have right now.

I feel ya. We got Jason Campbell. Not the worst there is... definitely could do worse...but he can certainly be upgraded.

[J-Mike88]

Yes. He does suck. Unfortunately he's the best we have right now.
Thank you 2005.

[2drama]

Go Eagles lets make it 2-0

[phlysac]

Again, this is a gameday thread. The 49ers did NOT lose the game today because of poor play by Alex Smith, which is why I found it weird that his name was the only individual name being brought up.

[Ness]

Thank you 2005.

Question for Buc fans: Where was Mike Williams today?

Yes we should have not listened to McCarthy, who wanted Alex.

[Ness]

Again, this is a gameday thread. The 49ers did NOT lose the game today because of poor play by Alex Smith, which is why I found it weird that his name was the only individual name being brought up.

Right, but they didn't win the game because of great play by him either. Even if the 49ers won this game, I still feel that position needs to be upgraded moving forward. He wasn't the reason we lost (although one of his turnovers led to points for Dallas), but he's not going to lead this franchise back to the playoffs or Super Bowl. It's been seven years. Time for a change.

[jayceheathman]

I don't know who is worse between Garrett Gilbert and Luke McCown.

[49erNation85]

our defense let us down today .they could have the win despit the two picks.

[phlysac]

Soft defense in the 4th quarter and a philosophy to "not lose" instead of aggressively pursuing a win.

[MetSox17]

I don't know who is worse between Garrett Gilbert and Luke McCown.

I was subjected to Luke McCown in the afternoon game. Turrible.

[Ness]

Soft defense in the 4th quarter and a philosophy to "not lose" instead of aggressively pursuing a win.

I don't understand why coaches do this. Playing soft with a tight lead. It's just like posion. You let the team slowly march down he field and score and then there is little time for you to actually score yourself once you are behind. I would rather play tight, blitz all day and give up a big play and let the other team score so I have enough time to come back and score. It's so stupid.

[MetSox17]

Whitner took care of the "give up the big play" part.

[Ness]

Whitner took care of the "give up the big play" part.

Yeah in overtime when it was too late to get the ball back. When that happened I just packed up and walked out of the bar speechless and embarrassed. Refused to wear my 49ers hat back home. Then I hear some Dallas fan down the street "**** THE NINERS!!!"

[Go_Eagles77]

Just don't have a great feeling about this game for some reason.

[Raiderz4Life]

lmao I said that too.

I'm sorry, but if they had won I would have caught a lot of **** from my old man.

[Ness]

Is anyone think Ryan Fitzpatrick is the real deal? He hasn't really faced a hard team yet, but the Bills are looking safe in his hands. And that offensive line is protecting him.

[SuperMcGee]

So, five teams in, five teams out, eh?

I'll go with:

(In)
Houston (duh)
Oakland
Buffalo (**** it, we'll do it live)
Washington
San Fran

Indianapolis (duh)
Chicago
Kansas City
Seattle
Pittsburgh
Atlanta

Bandwaggon city, baby! Even gave you an extra one.

This guy, I like.

Next week should be a fun test. And by fun, I mean likely humbling. But scoring touchdowns on five straight drives when you have to do just that gets you excited to shoot it out with another widespread offense.

[BeerBaron]

Is anyone think Ryan Fitzpatrick is the real deal? He hasn't really faced a hard team yet, but the Bills are looking safe in his hands. And that offensive line is protecting him.

Give me a few more games to judge. It's not like he's suddenly going to go up against a tough defense...because those don't exist anymore...but we'll see. Games against the Chiefs and Raiders don't prove much to me.

[ATLDirtyBirds]

I feel so bad for the Chiefs.

[Ness]

Are the Lions for real? Hmmm...

[Raiderz4Life]

I can't get enough of Faith Hill <3

[V.I.P]

Ruud - 2 Tackles
Foster - 7 Tackles 3 Assists 1 Sack 1 FF.

[ElectricEye]

Is anyone think Ryan Fitzpatrick is the real deal? He hasn't really faced a hard team yet, but the Bills are looking safe in his hands. And that offensive line is protecting him.

He's Shaun Hill plus, IMO. Very good quarterback, not a franchise quarterback. Guy you patiently look for an opportunity to upgrade upon...but no need to rush.

[SickwithIt1010]

Just don't have a great feeling about this game for some reason.

No negativity!

[BeerBaron]

I feel so bad for the Chiefs.

I think we should have some sort of ceremony to pass the "INJURIEZZZ" tag from the Packers to the Chiefs. They've earned it.

[Breed]

Ruud - 2 Tackles
Foster - 7 Tackles 3 Assists 1 Sack 1 FF.

Barrett Ruud sucks?

I wish the Niners would have taken a few shots down the field, but I guess when you play not to lose, you get what's coming.

Next week should be a fun test. And by fun, I mean likely humbling. But scoring touchdowns on five straight drives when you have to do just that gets you excited to shoot it out with another widespread offense.
get off computer and go celebrate with ETID. I am sure they are at some bar.

[Breed]

Just don't have a great feeling about this game for some reason.

i feel good. We're gonna kick the Failcons asses tonight!

[tjsunstein]

I feel so bad for the Chiefs.
Chiefs have injuriez!

No sympathy here.

[V.I.P]

Chiefs have injuriez!

No sympathy here.

Feels good when it isn't your team, huh?

[LonghornsLegend]

Chiefs have injuriez!

No sympathy here.



Weren't you getting tired of people talking about injuriez last season? But yea let's keep that joke going however we can.

[tjsunstein]

The fact that Atlanta is kind of rooting for Michael Vick isn't encouraging for Matt Ryan.

At least the Packers had other pieces. Anyone who's anyone is just getting slaughtered over there.

He's the best athlete that city has ever seen

Dallas had an injured secondary, yet the 49ers didn't take advantage of it. This is not what I was expecting when Harbaugh was hired. Stop with the rope-a-dope **** and start using common sense.

[Breed]

First down on first down!

[gpngc]

Luckkkkkkkkk

I'm mocking the board as a whole. Everyone complained about consistency in the officiating today, but where is the consistency on this board? Is the joke less funny now to others? Because it's still not funny to me and I'll do my best to kill it, especially now that it's not my team.

[ATLDirtyBirds]

This isn't going to end well.

[Brent]

Stop with the rope-a-dope **** and start using common sense.
Next time someone brings up Walsh being inspirational to him, I'll assume they mean what jobs he takes, not how he calls plays.

[Breed]

Why are we punting? Go for it!

[ATLDirtyBirds]

Peria Jerry and Sean Weatherspoon being productive. I love it.

[BeerBaron]

I see that the Eagles have solved their short yardage woes that have plagued them seemingly since the beginning of time.

Oh wait...

[Go_Eagles77]

Trying to get too cute.

[ATLDirtyBirds]

Nice intro there Tony.

[gpngc]

Tony G, very nice. One of the best.

[Go_Eagles77]

Here we go.

[Breed]

We can't stop the run...

[tjsunstein]

Can't wait to see this Eagles defense against the Falcons. Turner is going to kill it tonight.

[BeerBaron]

Yep, Turner is killing it.

[Ness]

Nice intro there Tony.

What exactly did he say?

[Breed]

Jason Snelling will rip our to D to pieces.

[SolidGold]

It doesn't beat: "Jared Allen Culinary Academy"

[ATLDirtyBirds]

What exactly did he say?

Not what he said, how he said it was pretty funny.

[tjsunstein]

I miss Cullen Jenkins.

[Raiderz4Life]

Damn it Philly..y'all my D/ST get in gear

[SuperMcGee]

get off computer and go celebrate with ETID. I am sure they are at some bar.

Keith is bartending at The Pink. Doubt I'm going, though.

[tjsunstein]

This is what I don't miss about Cullen Jenkins.

[shylo3716]

Come April 2012 Andy Reid BETTER draft Linebackers in the 1st 2 Rounds!!!!

I'm vexed! -----{-_-}-----

[Ness]

Not what he said, how he said it was pretty funny.
Yeah I only caught the tail end of it though. I thought he said:

"I am Tony Gonzalez, University of California Berkley" or something.

[Breed]

I miss Cullen Jenkins.

He's ours now, keep your hands off!

[ATLDirtyBirds]

This is what I don't miss about Cullen Jenkins.

First glance, looked like just cramps.

[Go_Eagles77]

He looks fine to me.

[Breed]

Matty Ice got ****** up

[M.O.T.H.]

Damn Cullen Jenkins.

[tjsunstein]

Cullen Jenkins mauled Matt Ryan. Mauled him. He really is an animal. Great pass rusher.

[gpngc]

You all spoke of him so he gave you a Cullen-ary delight.

[ATLDirtyBirds]

That was downright Bears like.

[BeerBaron]

You could drive a truck between the Eagles DTs there.

And, yet another example of the hypocritical NFL. No flag on clear helmet to helmet. This is a horrible, horrible day of officiating.

If Matt Ryan was an elite QB, it would have been called.

It was intentional. If anything it was Ryan's fault for not moving his head.
