i love harbs but when i look at our offense someone has to be responsible for that. he is a very stubborn guy and there is no way in todays NFL we should be AVERAGING 7-ish points per game in the past 3 games.... i mean that can't happen. i understand what he has done is insanely successful but i just don't understand the offensive philosophy. you can blame kap, the oline, whatever. but that does fall on the coach

gg seachickens fans. i now fear a nightmare scenario where the seachickens and packers play in the NFC title game. on one hand, the seachickens are a divisional opponent and i wish nothing but the worst. on the other hand, i've hated the packers for longer. but on the THIRD hand, i like marshawn and wussle is a polite gentleman. save me some other NFC team! even the cards!

It's going to be so hard to hate your team after you force Jim out and go 2-14 for the next decade =(.

Twitter says that if the Steelers win next Sunday, they are in the playoffs.

Yeah. And just think, once there you will only play against good teams so you cant lose!

It would be pretty hilarious if an NFC South team won the Super Bowl this year.

I want that so bad.

Can we talk about what happens in the second half of every single game (including games we in)? Forty-niners have been badly outplayed in every single 2nd half this year. That is purely on the coaches. It means one team makes adjustments and the other one can not.

Yep...

He could have fired Roman weeks ago like his bro did, but he refuses. I respect the guy for what he's done, but you reap what you sow.

If they were smart they'd fire Roman. We'll see if Harbs is willing to drop his friend though.

I used to think it was the Packers that I hated all these years...but it actually stemmed from Brett Farve that whole time. Ever since he left I don't mind them much, especially with Rodgers being on the team.

Rodgers for his second Super Bowl ring it is.

Ugly win.

It's officially time for Lombardi to go. Not this season obviously, but he has shown absolutely nothing to suggest he should be an OC in the NFL. He reminds me of Walter Sobchak: he has one plan (Saints offense w/big threat TE), and if that doesn't work he's fucked. He's not really getting our multitude of "weapons" involved, he's still asking Stafford to wait too long for routes to open (behind a bad o-line), he can't get easy yard plays consistently, etc. Get him out of here. And Reggie Bush.

This defense is the only reason we might get into the playoffs. And at this rate we're gonna get bounced no matter who we play.

I agree he reminds me of Mike Martz with those long developing routes and minimal protection. His run plays are very obvious as well.. Any average defense will shut that down. And yes Reggie Bush has always been a mediocre running back, but atleast serviceable at times(which he is not anymore).. I really think he has hit the RB wall and is done in the NFL ala LT, Shaun Alexander and Michael Turner.. Also Ross sucks, I think the Lions should draft a slot receiver/returner in the draft next year in the 4-6th rounds and get him to replace this bum.

He has taken you to the play offs for the last three years, one bad year is kind of jumping the gun to me.

Holy crap that Johnny Football stat line man what the fuck?

Yay!

This game... lol.

 

[RellyRell28]

How do they have the tiebreaker? You mean if they win week 17?

God I hate these stupid Tiebreaker rules.

Yeah for division it goes
1. Head to Head
2. Division recors
3. Record vs common opponent
4. Conference record

I always though conference record was before common opponent but I was wrong

 

[skLaFarebear]

And the dolphins might pick up said coach!

Spoiler

I'm actually against it

Well, he took that team to 3 NFC Championship games with Kaep and Alex Smith. That's got to be at least an upgrade from Philbin.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

If they were smart they'd fire Roman. We'll see if Harbs is willing to drop his friend though.

but he won't. the nfl figured out our scheme and we have not adapted

I've been saying fire Roman since about halfway through last season when it was obvious he wasn't getting it done and the NFL had caught up to how their system works and what plays they were going to call.

The problem is that I'm not sure if Roman and Harbaugh can be separated when it comes to the system of calling plays...it is Harbaugh's thing. Roman makes it worse by calling poor plays but this is a situation where both are at fault. I can't see Harbaugh using a different system no matter the coordinator.

Via NFL Nation

Observed and heard in the locker room after the Pittsburgh Steelers' 27-20 win over the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome:
The Steelers’ final road game of the regular season seemed like a home contest at times – and the players and coaches noticed. “I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Steeler Nation,” coach Mike Tomlin said after the Steelers improved to 9-5. “They were special in the building today. We are used to seeing it, but it never gets old. Terrible Towel-waving fans were noticeably loud -- whether Steelers players were trotting onto the field for pregame warm-ups or the Steelers were making a big play on offense or defense. Steelers fans were loud enough that some of the Falcons players were asked if they felt like they had a home-field advantage Sunday.

That's fine but Ross should stay since he's a somewhat decent kick returner.

That... Would be amazing, yeah.

 

[jakncoke]

It sucks Palmer got injured.

A Steelers/Cards rematch with Palmer at QB this time would have been amazing.

Steelers D is too atrocious to be a SB contender. More than likely a 1 and done if we make it

 

[Syrinx]

"I hope that the Bucs win their next two games in order to finish the season strong."

If that happened, we would match our win total in Schiano's clusterfuck of last season.

Think about that.

 

[offtopic]

Also, what is the 49er average starting field position in the second half of games that last 8 weeks? Maybe their own 8 yard line? I mean, just complete ineptitude.

 

[grandjedi6]

How do they have the tiebreaker? You mean if they win week 17?

God I hate these stupid Tiebreaker rules.

They don't. The only way Lions and Packers end in a tie at the end of the season is if one loses next week and then wins the match-up in week 17. But either way Lions would win that tie breaker either due to head to head (if they win) or conference games (if Packers win but also lose to TB).

It still all comes down to week 17. Unless the Packers choke next week against the Bucs

 

[WesternHeretic]

You don't leave a brother! And I saw a 49ers fan who did a write up breaking down the 49ers play calling and it wasn't that bad. It was just Kaep missing a whole bunch of throws like he did today. He overshot like 4 guys, and undershot 1 or 2. If he hit those plays I don't know pretty close game.

It's hard to lose to a team that's trying to lose.

 

[Nafai1123]

Just came in to say that roughing the passer call against the Niners when it would've been 4th down was fucking terrible.

Kaep has flaws but he could do better in a better system. IRG3 actually looked like an NFL QB for a season.

 

[Doorman]

Like I said Minnesota's gonna be a scary team next season. Their defense is really good.

For my part, I'm still more scared of the Lions than the Vikings. This offense is completely maddening.

i don't have a signature brah. i do say that with every new thread though... and i'll continue to do so!

Before you call Aaron Rodgers the best, can he get a win on the road?

It's the Mortal Kombat tourney player that goes by that name

 

[JCizzle]

Kaep has flaws but he could do better in a better system. IRG3 actually looked like an NFL QB for a season.

RG3 put up 65% completion, 3200 yards, and a 20 TD / 5 INT ratio his first (!!!) year. He was better than just a regular QB until Shanny ruined him.

He was better than Luck. It seems so long ago.

Still amazed how he had that kind of year but hasn't even been a quarter as good as he was then.

Think Amari Cooper will be there at 8?

 

[JCizzle]

I doubt it will happen, but Jed should just fire Harbs tonight (assuming, of course, that's the plan the day after our last game). I really don't give a shit about some middling pick that will cost us days/weeks in our coaching search. He and Baalke are out of their minds if they think it will be more than a 5th/6th at this point.
