Yeah in the Seahawks wins they've certainly blown out a bunch of people. That Packers game especially.

The Falcons have a good game coming up with the Cowboys Sunday night in Atlanta. I hope the team is not too confident and watch how the Cowboys came back on the Giants.

The ESPN radio guy was talking about how nice it would be to have the Giants and 49ers as world champions. We got to watch those stubborn 49ers, I'll be rooting for the underdog tonight. It would be just like the Cardinals to come back and put a drubbing on Alex Smith, et al.
I can see the 49ers working their way through the playoffs and ending up being in the championship game.

non-pass rushing LBs are the easiest thing to find in football. it's why no one pays much money for the position

Where are these two way linebackers that can actually play?

I know we've had a few fall in the 2nd and 3rd round in recent years, but i'm attributing it to old school scouts/personnel man who want a LBs to meet certain measurables ie heigh/weight.

Teo's way overhyped though, but a LB that can actually cover and play the run isn't that easy to find.

Yeah that was overly generic. Cushing in a 4-3 was a good OLB and worth his selection. But in a league where most OLBs come off the field, hard to invest money in 2 down players. But if you could find a 3 down OLB, then surely you'd pay for it. but you are basically looking fro Gronk or Graham that can tackle. if a guy's that athletic, someone made him an offensive player

I'm depressed.

We all are today, at least they pushed the trade deadline back...maybe Mike will do something.

With the state of the NFL right now...9-7 might be wild card spots...don't know if we will get there though, definitely not if we play like we did yesterday the rest of the season.

I don't see how we'll win 9 games, though.
Can't even beat the 'Phins with their backup in...

Eh Moore played well against us last year as well, I wasn't expecting him to play poorly.

Just have no clue what is up with our o-line and running game, 8 games in and it is still not finding traction. Would help solve a lot of problems if we could stay out of 3rd and long situations.
 
Cards are my second team.
Had no idea. Wear it bro.
I was thinking of taking a day off work to watch today's game, then i realised we will probably put up 3 pts. Skelton on a streak of most consecutive games with an interception, i think its guaranteed it continues.
GO CARDS!!!

Nah, we always score on the Niners. Division game, both teams are well familiar with one another. It won't be high scoring, will be a slugfest. Then again, with this OL, it could be like that first game in SF last year. Ugh. I don't think that happens at home though, always a chance to win here, hard to beat in the nest. I'd be more worried if it was in SF. Wish Kolb didn't get injured though, would be a lot more interesting as he plays to a similar mantra as small hands.
