The 9ers have a relatively light schedule foe like the next 5 games or so. If we don't lay an egg, the record will be back up to snuff in no time. I wish Kap would start playing like the greatest or all time again sometime soon though.

Fuck the seahawks

They have a solid shot. I see it being either them, the Saints, or believe it or not, the Lions representing the NFC in the Super Bowl.

New Orleans-Cincinnati Superbowl. It damn well better happen. I mean, so I can win money, and stuff.

reminds me of that picture that was floating around before the draft this year of the Jaguars' "war room"

Vikes oc play card just says A"AD"P

Welcome back to football and to the Giants, PEYTON HILLIS

Everyone counting out the 9ers and the Packers already because of a couple of losses. I'll bet that they'll emerge as the top 2 teams in the NFC in the 2nd half of the season. Both teams have a bit of work to do but Harbaugh and McCarthy are hard to read. It also helps a bit that they are a bit lower under the radar right now.
|
Packers have some injuries, but I wouldn't rule them out at all. Aaron Rodgers is top notch.
|
49ers are tricky. Defense is still very good, but what has happened to Kaepernick? Have teams figured him out? Is he missing Crabtree that much? Does he have to poop?
So many questions... |
Yeah. It is pretty frustrating. I was blaming it on injuries at first because Crabs, Manningham, and Vernon (in that Colts game) were out and it made it really difficult to pass the ball. Some fairly mediocre WRs had to suit up. Now I'm not all that sure. They havent been running the pistol or the option near as much because I think Harbaugh wanted to throw off defenses that had been training the whole offseason to counter it but something has to change soon. I do think Kap is the guy he was last season and not whoever this is right now but his proving ground awaits him. Honestly though, I think Harbaugh pulls this together and they go deep into post-season once again. Hoping, anyhow.
|
A good call to try to throw off some teams, but it may be time to go back to what worked.

Every d coord spent the entire offseason learning how to shut down the pistol that caught everyone off guard last season That , the injuries, losing talent, and the superbowl hangover are what wrong with the 9ers |
The only person standing between the Giants and their first win is JOSH FREEMAN.
Him and some guy named Adrian Peterson |

You made it out like it was Harbaughs choice to let up on the pistol when it was really because it was getting shutdown
|
If it was working he would still be using it
|
Well, it really hasn't been shut down all that much this season as Harbaugh really hasn't relied on it all too much. He set the precedent in that first Packers game that they weren't one trick ponies and I think he wanted to keep that mentality going. Also, he knew that every team was formulating a plan against it in the offseason so he needed more in their bag of tricks. The option works much better anyhow when it isn't expected so I wouldn't be surprised if they bust it out here and again, it just wont be how it was last season where it was expected but couldn't be defended.
Its going to take some time to readapt to defenses but I think strategy has been fairly solid. If they stick to this system and try to keep evolving their bag of tricks, they'll be ridiculously versatile. |
NFL currently denying recent rumors of them considering having 2 games be played on Thursdays in the future with one being shown on NFL Network and the other streamed online by an online service provider.

oh my god more thursday games i hate those fucking idiots
|
No! Fewer Thursday games, NFL! Fewer!
|
Thanksgiving is the only Thursday that football should be played.
And maybe the kickoff game. Maybe. |
I'm not fond of TNF as is, so why cram more games down our throats? At this point, just have football played every night of the week and be done with it.
|
Aside from Monday night and Sunday, Thanksgiving and Saturday is the only acceptable day to show NFL games, and once the NFL network started showing the late season Saturday games instead of CBS I lost interest
|
One day Miami is going to have a Monday night game and some storm is gonna fuck things up and force them to rearrange their schedule and they're gonna end up playing on a Thursday after a monday, would be hilarious
|
What is with this whole "THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL IS UNACCEPTABLE EXCEPT ON THANKSGIVING" attitude? lol
Personally, I find another night of being able to enjoy football quite acceptable... And I'm sure NFL Network enjoys the huge ratings. |

It doesn't help that every Thursday game this year has been fucking terrible.

Well, shit happens. Coming into the season, Giants @ Bears was looking to be a pretty damn good game until the Giants decided they didn't wanna play football this year.
And it's not like those games just wouldn't happen if they weren't on Thursday night. They'd be on Sunday at the same time as all the other games. I still don't see the problem with giving a game it's own time and extending the amount of time we get to watch football in a week. If it's shit, don't watch it. It's weird to actually have a huge problem with a game that you wouldn't devote time to watching on Sunday anyway being on a day by itself. |
I would watch on Sunday, though.
|
Another issue is that I don't have NFL Network so I don't get to see these games I could easily watch/follow on Sunday.
|
except the fact that teams are playing on 3 days' rest and it VERY OBVIOUSLY shows. that's not even mentioning the health risks associated with it
if they wanna keep doing this Thursday night bullshit then at least pick teams coming off a bye. |
When every game on Thursday sucks, it's not just "shit happens." Definitely a pattern here.
