Jones should be a lock for the HOF. Definitely one of those iconic names at OT from that generation, along with guys like Pace, Ogden and Roaf.

Crabtree is back for the 49ers this weekend. He'll probably be eased back in, but once he gets going, watch out. I really believe his absence is the reason why Kaepernick has struggled so much this year.

So it seems as though every time I've watched The Raiders this season they look ****hot early on and then fall to pieces.

I started Rashad Jennings this week though, so what do I care?

Exactly the list of linemen I was thinkin of. They were all beasts. I don't think crabtree will make a big difference. I just think teams predictably figured out the read option stuff and kaepernick isn't a good passer

Same lol. Had 2 bets on dallas. One covered one didn't cause of that late field goal. Love the mcgloin story tho

Seattle sports talk has spent the entire day mocking this communication from the 49ers to their season ticket holders, correctly pointing out that no football fans should require instructions as to how to cheer for their team





I don't mean this as a knock on the 49ers faithful. This is on the front office and whoever thought the fans wouldn't know this ferpissakes


*edited to add: WTF is the deal with the "First Down Cry"??

Like I said, the fans don't need this shit. Whoever sent this out needs to be put on some kind of public display. Bring back the stocks I say

The NFC playoffs could be really interesting this year. If the Packers get Rodgers back and pass the slumping Lions, and the Eagles continue their streak, you could have all 6 teams being really dangerous come playoff time.

^ I agree, all six would be capable of advancing. I think Pete Carroll needs to think in terms of winning out, otherwise they have no guarantee at all of keeping home field advantage, maybe the greatest home advantage in football or anything else.

Seattle had problems with Frisco this weekend and Denver can still be beat any given sunday. Not really sure but they're the consumate picks at the moment.
