I sincerely hope San Francisco wins by at least 30 and that Matt Ryan gets sacked into oblivion. If Week 17 turns into a deathmatch scenario, I'll be livid. 49ers are better than anyone in those hack divisons that are the NFC North and East this year and Arizona effectively is too.

Was out of town last night, but we totally bombed...
And it was the offense, STILL the offense holding this team back...Panthers I give them credit for the win but we dominated them on defense (0-9 on 3rd down which is so beyond pathetic)...To hold them down with most of our secondary out for the season shows how "overrated" the whole "Cam Newton has arrived"- stuff is, but he did it when he had to and our all-pro punter decides the worst time to kick his worst punt of the season basically putting the Panthers in easy FG range to begin... We got burned just like in the Patriots game which I already stated would cost us the season when it happened...So now we have to somehow not blow it at home where we're apparently great to just make the playoffs... Sean Payton is still rusty as hell and despite the gambling mentality he'll never gamble when it counts in the 4th only when the game is "up in the air" prior to halftime...I knew when we ran 3 plays to run out the clock we were going to lose... Brees hasn't been right since he got hit in that San Fran game, and even he now has to realize how perhaps giving up a few million could have helped us stabilize our offensive line which is by far the worse line in the Payton-Brees era.. We hid our deficiencies pretty well this season...but injuries and terrible playcalling has rendered our offense pitiful compared to as recent as last year (save for some spurts at home)... Good defenses are squatting on the backs out of the backfield nullifying Thomas and Sproles (the NFL's top two catching backs) Our WRs have no speed so they can't separate and Brees has to hold the ball behind a shitty line and now he's been hit too many times to just shake it off. In addtion Sean Payton hates to run the ball with a passion Andy Reid haters would find impressive, so all in all what could have been a masterful season given our roster problems is right where many thought we'd be entering the season and that's fighting for a wildcard spot.... but the good news I guess is that Carolina isn't much better than us with a much better roster and the fact the Saints will probably face Dallas or Philly first which are far more beatable than playing San Fran or Seattle first, so one and done here we come...

Samari, your team is killing me here.
Yeah, at this point, I'm down 4.5 points. I need a pick 6 or punt/kickoff return for TD to still pull this out. I blame the following: Jordy Nelson, for having a shitty day Greg Jennings, for having a shitty day Rashad Jennings, for having a shitty day Fred Jackson, for somehow having a good day despite Miami not giving up points to RBs over the past month Cordarrelle Patterson, for stealing Greg Jennings' points Peyton Manning, for being a stat whore Screw it, the game isn't over yet, but I'm also going to blame the 49er defense for not being able to keep a 4 win team from racking up 24+ points against them. Even if they just got the pick 6 I needed, it's far too late. They #$&#ing let Gonzalez get a touchdown and too many yards. I'd need another pick 6 at this point, plus 3 sacs, and no more yards from Gonzalez. Last edited by GDB; 2013-12-23 at 23:40. |

If we win or back into the playoffs we can certainly beat a terrible Dallas team on the road with no Tony Romo and I even think we can beat Philly provided the weather isn't atrocious...So while I do think all the Saints flaws were exposed over the last four weeks, that doesn't mean we aren't capable of winning a playoff game on the road...Although we've never done this, so your killjoyousness is valid... In any event, until Sean Payton commits to the run on road we don't have much of a shot in hell doing anything...

One last fantastic finish to Candlestick Park. Lovely. The Falcons put up a fight, and the 49ers looks really horrible a good amount of the game. Especially the first half. I don't know what the **** happened to the defense. The 49ers couldn't cover Roddy White to save their lives. The offense needs to get their act together too. They did better in the second half, but Kaep is starting to worry me. He can't play well for like a few games in a row as a passer. It's annoying. I know it's only his first year as a starter, but it's getting annoying.
Whatever. We won, we're in the playoffs and Candlestick proved it still has a little magic left. GO NINERS.  Quote:

Right, so I had pretty much decided that I was through in this forum and was pondering requesting for my account to be disabled when I came across this. I just feel compelled to reply.

Have you looked at the Panthers' roster, lately? Outside of the front 7 and Cam Newton, the rest of the roster is basically held to together by duct tap. We have a secondary with mediocre corners (UFDA Lester White, 5'8" Captain Munnerlyn, and Josh Thomas) and safeties on one-year deals (Mike Mitchell and Quentin Mikell). None of those guys are particularly talented, and if the front can't get pressure, they are exposed. The offense is in worst shape. There is 80 millions dollars tied up in a backfield (fuck you Marty Hurney, you inept piece of shit) that just blows now. DeAngelo Williams is clearly over the hill and falls backwards at first contact and Jonathon Stewart is imjury-prone and can't stay on the field. Mike Tolbert, who is our best back right now, isn't even a true RB. This will be our WR lineup for the Falcons game and until further notice: -Brandon LaFell -Ted Ginn Jr. -Domenick Hixon -Marvin McNutt Who the fuck is Marvin McNutt?!? We just signed that dude like a month ago. I haven't seen a highlight of that guy since his Iowa days. And what sucks is even more is that with Steve Smith in there, I doubt it would be much better. Smith is 34 years old and as much as I love the guy, his age has clearly caught up with him. The OL is in worst shape than the secondary. Guard Nate Chandler, started the year as a fucking DT and he moved to stay on the team; and now he is starting at RG. Outside of Ryan Kalil (and Jordan Gross when his arthritis isn't acting up . . ) everyone else is terrible, but those woes get pushed under the rug by everyone because Cam can pull some Houdini shit every other game. Run blocking has been HORRIBLE this year. Our rushing is skewed by Cam Newton scrambles. You said that Atlanta can beat us, well you're not wrong. In fact, I almost expect it. I know I come off as super-cynical, but the offense hasn't really played well the last couple of weeks and have been bailed out by the defense for a while now. Cam, who was lethal on deep throws his first two years, can't seem to hit the broad side of a barn beyond 20 yards most of the time this year. I blame the Jykell-and-Hyde coordinating over the last couple of years. Mike Shula as an OC absolutely sucks, he is too conservative. It pisses me off that Carolina can't find a middle-man in-between Chudzinski, whose playcalling consisted consisted of shitty read-option plays that took 10 seconds to develop and Shula - who is generally scared to call routes beyond 10 yards. That dink-and-dunk shit doesn't work. Yet, despite all that; somehow, someway, through scene determination and defense, we are 11-4, but at this rate, we might be one-and-done in the playoffs. I'm not confident that we could beat Seattle, San Francisco, or even Philadelphia right now. New Orleans would be a toss-up because of the divisional aspect. We could likely beat Dallas, Chicago, or Green Bay (assuming Aaron Rodgers is not back). We have so many holes to fill this offseason, but again since we spent so much money on players from a 2-14 team (Fuck you, Hurney. You piece of trash.), it may be impossible to fix everything with lack of cap. As much I as I would like to keep him, I doubt see how we'll retain Greg "Da Kraken" Hardy without using the franchise tag. Only one WR is under contract next year, and that will be then 35 year old Steve Smith. Our draft should contain multiple picks on WR (I'm looking at you Kelvin Benjamin, Dorian Backham-Green, and/or Allen Robinson), OL, and CB. I would sacrifice all of y'all to the devil if it could get Mike Evans to somehow fall to us, but I doubt it. So yeah, I just wanted to get that off my chest before I disappeared into the internet abyss. I'm out. Oh, and fuck you, Hurney. You thumbsucking asshole. |

 Honestly, I would've traded Stewart when he was healthy and producing. DeAngelo Williams just needs to get fed the ball. He's a speed back and will break one eventually. Tolbert's a good FB. He's probably my current favorite in the NFL. He's short, but can still power the ball for small yardage and he can catch passes out of the backfield too. Carolina's strength on defense is their front seven. I think they're an underrated group. Short and Lotulelei and both young DTs they picked up from this year's draft that look very promising. Greg Hardy and Charles Johnson are both solid DEs. Thomas Davis is looking really good coming back from injuries and we all know Luke is really good. I don't like Captain, never have. I think Carolina really needs to find a playmaker to replace Steve Smith and another corner to fill Chris Gamble's void. I pegged them at 9-7 at best this year.
