Thank you based Titans!!! YESSSSSSSH

That is how Superbowl 40 should have gone -- Hasselbeck smiling, and Big Ben biting his lip.

Too bad Matty Hass likely won't have a job when Locker recovers. I always believed he still had starting-caliber game after beating the Saints then losing to the Bears when we sucked horribly in all facets of the game.

 

[theeboredone]

Okay, I know I'm a 49er fan and all, but I am REALLY ANNOYED that the NFC championship rematch is not a Sunday Night game. Instead, we have the Packers vs Texans. Granted, before the season started that was a great game on paper, but over a rematch of the NFC Championship? Really? Who was in charge of making that decision?

Even though the 49ers had a great season last year, they have gotten zero media coverage compared to the other elite teams. It almost seems like people forgot the 49ers carried a nice pedigree for themselves back in the day. Definitely one of the most popular teams dating from 80s to 90s and early 2000s.

I'm just really peeved more than anything cause I gotta go to work tomorrow and miss the game.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

If it's as good as that NFC Championship game was, it will probably be on NFL Replay... which is not the same, but better than nothing? >.>

 

[Jem.]

I'm kind of hyped for Packers-Texans though since it's a near must-win for the Packers. But yeah, I can't watch the 49ers-Giants game either because the Seahawks-Patriots is a 1 PM game too.

 

[Reizilla]

Yeah, I was definitely surprised by that. Or even that it wasn't a Monday Night game. I don't see how anyone can see more importance in any other game this week. Even before the season started.

 

[SharkAttack]

Good, Lions up 6-0. If Detroit loses this game I will not like their chances for making the playoffs. There are a lot of good NFC teams right now with 0-1 losses.

I'm amazed how long Jason Hanson has been in the league. He's the only Lions Field goal kicker I've ever known, and I've been a Lions fan since 1996ish.

 

[ulises3000]

Even though Dez Bryant was a huge part of helping the Cowboys come back, he pretty much ruined their chances at actually getting the win. Dropped the 2 point conversion to go to OT and then took too long to get to the line and get another play off to get the field goal closer. Atleast it shows that the Cowboys can probably keep up with great teams like the Ravens.

In other news Cleveland finally got a win.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

I have to say I'm amazed at the amount of talent it takes to continuously call plays that have been unreliable since Week 2, and to still blow 4th quarter leads. Oh well, if trends continue, the Eagles will be the first loss the Falcons take on the season.

 

[ZIO]

I can say I was pleasantly surprised with the Jets this week. What with the Colts overtaking Packers last week, I was sure Jets would have fallen too.

Goes to show you these teams aren't as bad/good as they may let on.

 

[M@v]

Colts haven't played the Steelers. They beat Green bay last week.

In other news, Dan Baily makes me sad. Bengals AND ravens could of lost this weekend too

 

[ZIO]

Oh yeah. I keep mixin up teams. I do the same thing with bengals and browns.

 

[Reizilla]

Welp, miracles only work once, I guess. The Colts suck again. So many wrong picks this week >_>

 

[Stealth Raptor]

This just in- BYE already has a 6 point advantage over the chiefs next week! *cries in a corner*

Pioli needs to go, as much as it pains me to say we need a new direction

 

[Peeze]

...go vikings :/

 

[M@v]

so....so much for houston's 6-0 LOL

 

[Stealth Raptor]

and thus houston will begin its 2012 crash and not make the post season :D

 

[Reizilla]

Rofl, they've probably already won the division

 

[Jem.]

I'm still shocked that the Seahawks were down by 13 in the 4th quarter and pulled the comeback off. Our D should have had 4-5 INTS too but dropped a few. Earl Thomas dropped a free pick six . Hopefully people will shut up about Russell Wilson for atleast a week. He had an incredible 3rd down run in the first quarter where no one was open so he stepped to the left, then rolled out to the right, shrugged off a shoulder hit from Mayo, and then got the first down on a touchdown drive. Was beautiful. Not to mention the multiple on the money passes he threw.

 

[theeboredone]

Very disappointed in the 49ers performance today. Though I didn't get to watch the game due to work. Hopefully analysis articles will tell me what went wrong. Today was just a bad day in general.

 

[Jem.]

Whenever no one thinks the Giants can win, they do. That is the problem. Everyone had already booked the 49ers as the best team in the NFC, probably going to the Superbowl, Alex Smith is elite blah blah. Skip Bayless said "Alex Smith is turning back into Alex Smith right now." during the game haha.

And it is a glaring problem. Alex Smith seems to struggle to play from behind, except during the Saints in the playoff game. But besides that he struggles to make comebacks.

 

[theeboredone]

He had 4 4th quarter comebacks last year. I don't think that's the problem as much as...well like I said, I didn't watch the game so I can't say much.

 

[Jem.]

When the 49ers aren't running well, the offense isn't operating as fluently. As a Seahawks fan I watch all the teams in my division very carefully. Alex Smith isn't ready to carry an offense like Brady/Manning/Rodgers/etc can. Everyone has some good 4th quarter comebacks. Russell Wilson isn't an elite QB now for making a 13 point 4th quarter comeback. Everyone gets some 4th quarter comebacks once in awhile. 49ers suck at playing from behind lol cause then they can't have people biting on play action from their RB's

lol

 

[Coolwhip]

Dayummmmm Lmao

 

[Gold Dart]

Even though that last game was so disappointing, I'm still looking forward to playing against
Peyton and the Broncos tonight.

 

[M@v]

I'm looking forward to Manning to Thomas for awesome fantasy points

 

[Jem.]

Lol @ How the media is twisting the report to make it sound like Sherman was trash talking for no reason. Always have to protect precious Tom Brady. Sherman was playfully trash talking like defensive players do during tv timeouts "I'm gonna get you Brady, keep trying me" and then Brady said "See me after the game when we win."

Well, Richard Sherman was just doing what Tom Brady told him to..

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

I dunno, he did say the whole "you are one man, we are a team" thing as if Tom Brady puts himself before his team.

 

[ZIO]

I mean, Brody has done talked "condifently" before, such as before SBXLII, he said that they would score or win by more that 14 points, or something akin to that. That's just the Brady persona.

But I don't think anyone should be demonizing Brady's opponents for their actions if they're only delivering the same medicine. Trash talking is healthy and I think it spruces up a bland, politically correct organization. I mean, seriously, what fun is there in having games, and nothing in between?

I'm looking forward to Manning to Thomas for awesome fantasy points

Same here, buddy. Nelson killed it for me and earned my win. Now whatever I get is icing on the cake. I could potentially get the highest score in the league for this week if Thomas gets what he got last week. Crossing fingers.

 

[tko112]

who would've thought that the last undefeated team in the NFL is the Falcons?

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Replacement refs are still 4-0. They're on indefinite bye, though.

 

[M@v]

6-0 doesn't mean crap when they will lose first round of the playoffs.


P.S. There may be hope for the Steelers yet, as it would appear the AFC North has turned into the NFC west of two years ago, since cinnci is only 3-3 compared to our 2-3(We play them Sunday night, so its a MUST win for us), and baltimore's defense has more injuries than the steelers o-line, AND they have to face a salty texans team next week.

 

[Peeze]

6-0 doesn't mean crap when they will lose first round of the playoffs.

Agreed, they are probably the worst 6-0 team i've ever seen.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

They'll be 6-1, no worries.

inb4AndyReidprovesmewrong

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Oh I don't care what was going on, I just found that link on Twitter and found it funny. Hence "lol'.

Also Berserker, having fun editing? You went from "6-1" to "7-1" back to "6-1" in a matter of seconds.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

I couldn't remember if they had a bye week this week or not lol.

 

[_umbra_]

In other news, Tannehill didn't **** up!

hype

 

[theeboredone]

Wow, that receiver Manning threw to pulled a Dez.

 

[Jem.]

The NFC West now has more teams above .500 than the whole AFC has.
