To paraphrase Anchorman, "Tonight's top story: The sewers run red with Rivers' blood"
Watt alone should have 3-5 sacks. I do hope Vincent Brown gets some good looks, and Keenan Allen can get a lot of PT. I'm interested to see what Allen can do coming out of Cal, and to see just how badly Fluker's pass blocking is.

Good post, I think we have to keep Aldon and Kap. Aldon will have the most sacks in NFL history through a players first 3 seasons, that's pretty freaking incredible. Kap looks like an elite QB, but I don't know if we should be giving him 100 million on his first contract. Damn. I hope we can keep all 4, but it's gonna be really tough.
and :jnc about harbaugh, dude is hilarious

Iupati is easily the odd man out in that group.
One other thing I forgot from my writeup of the game, it continues to baffle me how the Giants are so consistently awful in short yardage situations. It has been an issue for so many years, through every running back and every version of the offensive line. I had a sinking feeling when Mundy was only able to return that interception to the one yard line. It resulted in nothing but a field goal. There was another third and 1 later in the game they failed to convert that killed a drive.

You think they'd let him walk? Christ, I'd love for the Giants to sign him as a replacement for Snee.

No way, he's the best guy on the OL.

That was just so pathetic. I was really hoping Mundy would score all the way.
Finally decided to make the call and get a contractor out to see what some rough finishing of the basement would estimate in at.
They're coming Friday. Maybe I'll have a nice living space down there for games and such by late fall. We'll see. Lived here since the end of 2009, and don't plan to live here for much more than 5 probably cause we want to build next.
The prospect is interesting, we'll see how it goes.

Here's my thinking as a longtime fan
We spent from the years 2002 - 2010 trying to draft a #1 Wide Receiver, a Quarterback, and a Pass Rusher. Any fan will tell you how long we struggled getting those 3 guys; we have 3 offensive lineman left after Iupati that could all be probowlers signed for long term deals (Davis, Iupati, Boone).
With that reasoning I could see Iupati, and Crabtree both leaving next year though.

Call me crazy but I would rather have Crabs and Smith. This is why I don't run football teams though.
Kap is a given though.

I'm really intrigued to see whether or not the Niners can develop Lawrence Okoye. I read an analysis (can't find the link) but his combine results aren't just above average but for a guy his size, it makes him a once in a generation type of athlete. I know they project more as a defensive lineman, but with his physical tools, he'd be a pretty dominant offensive lineman.

Actually that play cost the 49ers than the Pack. Unless you are talking about another play.

Harbaugh's offensive philosophy is still built upon power running and a solid line. Iupati's a big part of that.

I just threw some carpet down in my unfinished basement and put in some furniture a year or two ago at my house. It doesn't look great, but it ain't bad, and it's totally functional without costing me a thing. And it's the perfect man cave, because although I love it, my wife hates it. Win-win!
I was pretty near sighted. I think i was like 20/150 in one eye before with a slight astigmatism. This was about 9 years ago though, I'm sure the technology as probably improved.
I had LASIK done.

I would not be surprised if the rushing numbers are down this year over the last two.

That said, how replaceable is Iupati? Good LG's aren't exactly rare finds. If Iupati played LT, then it might be a different story.

I have a tough time believing they'd let him walk as well but I'm not as familiar with the team as you Niners fans.
I'd have to think the Giants would be in the mix for his services if he ever hits the open market with Kevin Boothe being on a one year deal and Snee breaking down (depth behind them isn't great either). Not that I think it would ever come to fruition. Giants have Hakeem Nicks, Linval Joseph, JPP and a likely Eli Manning extension all looming on the contract front.

I love Hakeeeeeeeeeeeeem Nicks. I wonder how much that guy will command.

Pats are so fucking lucky they start out with 3 tomato cans.
Futurevoid

I have a feeling he's gone after this year. We payed Cruz and the Giants have never paid a WR 10 mill/yr in their entire history and he'll command that and more in the open market (he's 10x the receiver Mike Wallace is). They could franchise him but if he has another blow up season like he did in 2011? Yeah, it's going to be really hard investing damn near 18-20 million/yr in cap space for two guys (and we got Cruz on the cheap, too!). Eli's already 20 million in cap alone and that's why I mentioned an extension is likely going to happen to lessen that next season.
Jags update:
Too much, I fear. :-\
With the development of Reuben Randle, I think there is a decent chance that Nicks might be gone after this year.
Matthews should have had two penalties called. It should have been first and goal. The pack lucked out.

Jags really taking the next step for that number one pick.
Damn, all my friends went to San Diego for the chargers game. I dunno how far in advance they had to tell work they would be gone, but I am so jealous. Seems kind of hard to make Monday night games, but from the pictures I've seen there are a ton of texans fans there. How is the bolt's home crowd? I wonder if we can get louder than they can.
Everytime I see Pryor's stat line, I imagine Al Davis looking down from heaven and re-enacting that Babe scene where the old man says "That'll do." He actually look pretty good. Surprised the shit out of me (and most everyone else I would assume). Vegas must of lost an asssssload from that Tampa game. Jesus.

Harbs will never keep a QB longer than 2 years lol
uh no, leaving Gabbert in would be the next step to the #1 pick. Henne will give them competent QB play.

I hope this game is more entertaining than that garbage they showed last night.
I would call it more like a next step towards a move to LA!
HarryDemeanor

Perfect time to call Tebow.
If you like scoring, then yes, it will be. What's the over/under for this game? 184?
Nope, Jags are maybe the eighth most likely LA team. Got that contract going and a better fanbase than a couple of teams at least.

No. It's leading towards their destiny.
We all know the Raider's are going back to LA.

I hope LA steals a team with a lot of history, just for the lols.

That pic is the bionic signal.
probably not, monday nights are usually one of the lighter nights.

Surprised how little the Vick Vs. RGIII angle of tonight's game is not being played up. A year ago they would have been hyping the matchup to the moon. The only thing I keep hearing about is the coach, which isn't even the best part in my opinion.

If RGIII hurts his knee there will be 10000 posts about it.
