in 2011 we did. not in 2012 or 2013. but this year has been even worse than last year
What other QBs make that play? Young and Dilfer probably out-qualify you and both said he is the only one that could make it. I'm also old and have watched a lot of football and was a huge fan of Montana and Young and went to many of their games and I haven't seen anything like that either.
Boldin's drops were game-changing and the ones he did catch were a mixture between easy and good. At no point did I think he "bailed out" anybody - he should make good catches. He also shouldn't drop 3rd downs (which is basically a turnover) or touchdowns. Also, don't be an idiot making offensive PI when it wasn't needed to score the TD.

Yep. Niners fans are spoiled as fuck in that regard.

I really need to get nfl rewind.
Not really...been pretty average injury wise. This current batch though is completely crippling when added to an offensive line that can't protect and a running game that can't run. But everything is Kaep's fault of course.
I have officially retired the Petetar. It was a good luck charm and got us past the 9ers. Now I release it's power back into the wilderness.
I like to win in the fashion we did, so I can't complain. It still would have been nice to see a full strength 9ers team to see how we stack up against one another.
Good thing is the season isn't over, and really you aren't sitting in a bad spot in your division. AZ could very well slip.

Trent Dilfer was singing the praises of Mark Sanchez and saying he would be a franchise QB. Why is his opinion on a quarterback all of a sudden the gold standard?
in 2011 we did. not in 2012 or 2013. but this year has been even worse than last year
Well there was Ted Ginn hurt during the NFC championship game which led to Kyle Williams handling punt and kick return duties.
you cut notches in the chair legs, didn't you?

it'll feel good to not have the pressure of winning in the playoffs!
He wasn't giving his opinion of a quarterback. He was giving his opinion on a single freakish play. Those are different things and I never said he was a gold standard...just that he and Young might be more qualified to comment on that than most GAF'rs.

Well on the hand, they might be right, on the other hand they are part of the ESPN machine and it's hard to take anybody at that company serious when they proclaim anything as the "BEST/ONLY/EVER" considering they do it all the time. Those kinds of comments have become so throwaway from "analysts" at ESPN.
Can't complain about being 4-3, could be worse, niners could be 3-4 or 2-5 or 1-6 right now.

No, I'm not Hunter. Even though taking away the poster part of 'joke poster' would be an apt description of him.
Why are you so uptight right now? You're taking this really serious. When have I ever said anything to you with any malicious intent? It's always in jest and was never meant to be taken serious.
No, that's saved for Nike U and Notre Dame fans.
Thanks. It's a cool looking statue and tribute. Wish I could have seen it when I was back there.
They're still in the hunt. That's all you can ask for at this point.
Just cashing the checks you wrote by talking shit!
It's not about malicious intent, it's nothing beyond football banter. I'm taking it about as serious as that.
I had my bottle tequila by my side since the end of the 3rd quarter lol

Kap missed a few key throws today. Coulda been much closer.
Sure...I pretty much despise ESPN but think that both Young and Dilfer are pretty stand-up guys. I think the week or two before that Kaep made a throw that Troy Aikman just thought was ridiculous. Despite being known for his cannon arm back in the day he said there was zero chance he'd have made the play.
I'm on IPA #6 (and this stuff is 8.5% haha)...

Can't wait till next week. Atlanta's O-Line is still decimated right?
Also I wonder how that early start time effects Fantasy lineups

Didn't see any tremendous plays today. Some good but not 'tremendous'?

Yep, a couple of weeks ago.
What a great day. Some quotes/tweets from various players:

What a game by the whole team. And pretty much all playoff contenders except the Packers and Cardinals lost today. Our defensive line is going to beat down the Falcons offensive line.
Sean Payton is a bitter douche. After the game Joique Bell went up to shake his hands because he was on the Saints squad a few years back and Payton shrugged him off. Plus his butthurt postgame interviews.
We beat a good team today and you can see in the postgame interviews the chemistry this team has.
And how about Matthew Stafford? Kept his composure throughout the whole game despite a bad offensive line performance and running game. You never see the guy lose his temper or yell at teammates. That Jordan Thompson INT felt like the game was over. Our D got us the ball back and Stafford handled business. And he vanquised the Saints who as I reminded you were the first team he played in the NFL and his first playoff game. And he happens to tie Bobby Laynes all time TD record in this game. This was all foretold.
If you're not on the Lions and Stafford bandwagon yet, your loss. This team has Superbowl potential.
Restore the Roar 2014.

As long as Scott Mitchell is wiped from the record list I'm good
Also why didn't we carry Joe Lombardi off the field?
You as well Greg. As of right now the top three teams in the NFC are the Cowboys, Packers, Lions in whatever order can be debated. It's going to be a tough battle for the NFC North crown.
Nice seeing the Bears implode.
You can see the chemistry this Detroit team has. Coach Caldwell and the staff have brought this team together in a way I've never seen. You can hear it in Grover Quins post game interview with Sal Palantonio.
Vine - Celebration after the Grover Quin INT
Yes they are. They still have Drew Brees at QB and Sean Payton one of the best coaches in the league (albeit a douchebag). We were the better team.

Cool we play early again next week. Means I can sleep through it and save myself from the pain.

I honestly think the Saints will finish with a winning record. Maybe make the playoffs. I hope we can beat the Falcons next week though. I would like to head into the bye week 6-2 instead of 5-3 plus it will give us that elusive three game winning streak. I also think the Saints are gonna beat the Packers cause they're at home which they're another monster.
You are guaranteed to win that game.

Yeah, I'm not too sure what to make of Atlanta. They look like a total mess right now, especially after seeing what happened in Baltimore today.
Reminds me that I've been meaning to ask if that Stafford winning % vs teams with winning records is for when the game is played or adjusted at the end of the season.
where is the faith, you anti-Kas!

I'm curious myself.
I'm also curious what the excuse is going to be from Valenti on his 97.1 show tomorrow afternoon. He's been saying he won't give this team any credit defensively until Week 12 (@NE) and I'm sure he'll bitch about it not being a blowout.
Nothing is guaranteed but our defensive line vs. the Falcons offensive line certainly gives me confidence.
Hope we get some firepower back with either Eric Ebron or Joe Fauria.
I was not happy with the playcalling early in the game. I felt we should've used Bell more instead of Bush, and when we did our running game improved. Bush ankle still isn't fully healed and he runs around like he's Barry Sanders. The defense spent way to much time on the field but still handled business.
And I think we'll be seeing the end of Robbie Sims at LG. Travis Swanson (3rd round pick Arkansas) had reps and late in the game. Put the rookie in.
Join Greg for some late night coffee!
Any replay value to it?
