I don't think I've posted here enough to know all of them. I think towards the middle of last season alot of them went on suicide watch (I know I did).

Sorry Niner brethren!
Just FYI since you're new here: calling fans of other teams "delusional" when you're a 9ers fan isn't good form.

Did I call someone delusional? Weed. =/

Trash talking is part of the game though. :D
 
Man... what's with the obsession with the 49ers win over the Seahawks in Week 2? Seattle has like no receivers due to being riddled with injuries (until Engram returns next week). The D of the 'Hawks got worn down due to Hasselbeck being unable to sustain drives with his patchwork crew of Bumpus/McMullen/Red Shirt No. 7 and San Fran got the best of them. Big whoop. It was one game. Get over it. That was TWO WEEKS AGO.

1. there have been only 3 weeks in the season. what other games am i supposed to talk about?

2. it was against the defending division champ on their turf.

3. i don't give a fuck who they were without. i didn't see anyone making excuses for us last year when they beat us and we had no qb or o-line or receivers. you're only as good as your backups so cry me a river, a win is a win


yes, it was one game two weeks ago. a game which the seahawks were 100% healthy on defense and we spotted them a 14-0 lead. we also played nickle defense 100% of our defensive plays, you guys should have been able to control the clock and win the game AT home against a guy making his 2nd EVER NFL start. but you didn't. i only bring up the seahawks game to talk about how well JTO performed in a hostile environment against a defense that was blitzing him every play and knocking him on his ass. don't be hatin'!


but whatever, no matter what we do we won't get credit. if we beat new orleans, people will say "well they were without shockey and colston" if we lose they will say "wow what a gutsy performance by new orleans!". if we beat the pats next week people will say "yeah, without tom brady" if we lose they will say "wow matt cassell torching the D and coming of age!". if we beat the giants people will say "well the giants simply didn't show up. they were looking towards the cowboys game" and if we lose they will say "business as usual for the giants!". and on and on and on!

not that i truly give a shit at the end of the day. alls i care about is getting to the playoffs and winning our 6th superbowl trophy! go niners!

ill be the last one to stick up for the 9ers, but beating seattle at home is a pretty tough thing to do, injuries or not.

Are you enjoying seeing Issac Bruce play well? He's always been one of my favorite WRs; seems like a class act. I didn't expect him to play this well, though. He looks like he's having fun out there!

our pass defense is #1 in the NFC. i dont think we've given up a pass play longer than 25 yards this season. but maybe that has more to do with our CB's than safeties, because i agree that pittsburgh has better safeties

FMT you're so obtuse. I was referring to Seattle's safeties. Pittburgh's safeties are better than ours and won't let Old man Bruce get 150 yards on them.

Rorschach said:
Close enough! Good thing the NFC West lacks awesome TEs.

John Carlson is on his way to being awesome!

Yeah, he's been a big bright spot in an otherwise shitty passing game. For a rook TE to get 12 rec for 168 yds through 3 games is damn good. Can't wait to see what happens when we get Branch and Engram back and start stretching the field. Right now people are just siting on us.

His interviews with Bay Area media are fucking hilarious.

Q: What do you think of the team chemistry in today's game?

Bruce: "Chemistry was good."

Q: Can you discuss the overall team performance?

Bruce: "(It's) very evident that the word of God works. He's confirming His word . . . His favor is going toward this team."

:lol

FMT is the major comic relief in this pretty serious thread. Who can forget his incessant Brett Favre man-crush posts?

We need more 'lifelong' Packers fan in here though. Just to piss FMT off. :D

Since I have fuck all to do tonight, I think I will steal shit from BBI and post it here:

A lot is being made of how dominant the NFC East has been this year, and it's true. Arguably the 3 best teams in football reside in the division, and the 4th best team (Skins) might be a Top 5 team in the NFC. The division is loaded with talent and every team looks like a legit playoff contender.

But this isn't just a one year thing. The 4 teams in NFC East have been incredibly succesful and competitive for a long time. These are the numbers for the 4 current teams in the division since 1983 (after the players' strike in '82).

Code:
NYG: 218-182-2, 6 Div Titles, 12 Playoff Apps (15-9 record), 4 Super Bowls (3-1 record)
PHI: 216-183-3, 6 Div Titles, 12 Playoff Apps (10-12 record), 1 Super Bowls (0-1 record)
DAL: 215-187-0, 8 Div Titles, 13 Playoff Apps (12-10 record), 3 Super Bowls (3-0 record)
WAS: 214-187-1, 5 Div Titles, 10 Playoff Apps (14-8 record), 3 Super Bowls (2-1 record)


In a span of 25 years, the difference between the best and worst team in that group record wise is 4.5 Games! Each team has won the division atleast 5 times and made the playoffs at least 10 times, that's simply amazing. Although the Eagles lost in their only Super Bowl appearance, the other 3 teams in the division have won atleast 2 times and appeared in it 3 times. That means over the past 25 years, one of these teams has appeared in 11 Super Bowls and won 8 of them!

I hate the rest of the division with a passion. The Skins, Cowboys, and Eagles are the top 3 teams I hate in the entire sport. But I think it's amazing how great the division and all 4 teams have been over the past 25 or so years. People are right when they talk about how great the division has been this year, but it's really not just this year. This division has been the most compettive and succesful division in sports over the last 25 years. And yes, I realize that the Arizona Cardinals were also members of the division until 2001, and yes they sucked as much as a sports team could possibly suck. But that doesn't take anything away from the other 4 teams and the NFC East. The NFC East has been a monster of a division for a long time.

Pretty sick!

Seems like you're forgetting a team... someone who was in the division for 30 years...
 
too bad the niners are the best team in football history. also, as giggle already states, you conveniently leave out that the cardinals were in that division for most of that time.

not that it matters. even though someone from the NFC east has already won the next 10 superbowls, the NFL has been kind enough to actually let the season play out (no matter how useless it is to all non-NFC east teams).

thank you for your generosity and your pity NFL! and thank you NFC East! even though most teams in the NFL can't hold your backup punters jock strap you still let us compete in the same league as you! so nice!

Bitter tears my friends, bitter tears!

The NFC West has been shitty my whole life and I love it! We beat the Rams 17 straight times, the Seahawks have changed conferences twice and no one cared plus their biggest game ever was a loss, the Cards have one playoff win in the last million years, the Falcons biggest game ever was a loss and their best player is in jail, and the Saints haven't played defense in three decades.

The five other teams in our division (past and present) have combined for ONE Super Bowl victory! Woo NFC West!

If the NFC East is the worlds greatest division, then as the Seahawks are 8-1 against them in the last 3 seasons we are the greatest team uh... ever!

The most successful teams in NFL history are the cowboys and steelers in that order. The niners were only good for like 15 years and were irrelevant otherwise.

lol, hilarious.

what did the steelers do in the 80's again? or in the 90's for that matter?

you're saying all we did was in a 15 year span, well the steelers were basically absent from the NFL for about 20 years (save 1 superbowl loss).

same with the cowboys. completely absent from the 80's and then showed up for half of the decade in the 90's to be a true competitor.

49ers basically had a 20 year run where they were in the mix in just about every season. i'm not saying you can't make a case for the steelers and cowboys, but to just throw the niners out? give me a break! niners are the best biiiiiiiiiitch!

wtf is up with the divisions, how the hell can the cardinals be a member of an "east" division east of what the Pacific Ocean?

I like Dallas two, of the two teams that play in the vicinity of Dallas, in one sport one is in a west coast division and the other is an east coast division.

So I'm reading on PFT and there's a site for Seahawks fans trying to rile up Giants fans by posting a shit-ton of 9/11 jokes there?

Wow.


Have you guys talked about this yet?


Looks like Florio is getting geared up to crush that site if he gets the chance :lol

Yes it's been brought up. They are fucking disgraceful douchebags. But it's not a site just for it, it's just a message board thread.

For comparison here's a different seahawks forum blasting these assholes.

Sorry what do i need to look up, that quote said the arizona cardinals were in the NFC east division... arizona is west of texas.. and east of the pacific.

Maybe Im just tired and missing something?

And yes, I realize that the Arizona Cardinals were also members of the division until 2001

Like i said how the fuck is arizona considered "east."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_Cardinals
You might want to actually read that page.

So get bent to the few of you making comments like i A) couldnt tell east from west and B) like im an idiot. :|
I can understand not knowing about the 2002 Realignment or specifically where they might have been before, but your assumption that the Arizona Cardinals have always been the Arizona Cardinals was funny. Seriously, too many teams have relocated over the years to not think twice about it.

I couldnt care less whether or not they were in st louis previously or not. I was bitching about the fact that divisions in both baseball and football make almost zero sense geographically. No one said shit about my Dallas comment and how the Rangers are in the AL west and the Girls are in the NFC east, yet all the NFC south teams are further "east" than the Girls.

It doesnt make sense, is all i was saying. No need to treat me like Im retard, espcially when i was in fact correct in what i said. Even considering that the cardinals moved to Arizona in 87, they were still in the NFC east for 14 years...

The same reason the Atlanta Braves were in the NL West for god knows how many years: You can't just realign divisions every time a team moves. And even when realignments happen, you can't just take location into account and be done with it. Dallas stayed in the NFC East because they were a huge rival within the division.

Ya we sucked up the 80's but 90's you are wrong, 1 sb loss 2 other afc championship app, 96-67 regular season record=not basically absent. Steelers ftw
 
the point stands. why are steelers considered an all-time team when they essentially have only mattered in the 70's (as far as superbowls go) but the 49ers aren't? we have essentially the same past: dominated 1 decade, won 1 superbowl in another decade. i see where an argument can be made but to say the niners aren't supposed to be in the conversation is ricockulous!
