    4th and 1 hail mary?! THAT is damn entertaining. Also Zorn is apparently pretty good after all. :D

    Damn. As usual, the Bears are doing their best to ruin their draft position. :redface2: 

    Way too much parity in the league when the Bears are in first place, especially given the team they have this year. Even more frightening is the fact that two or so plays here and there (aka 4Q Defense) would have put them at 4-0.

    Niners lost a game they could have won with better pass protection. Time to put it behind them and try to win this week. Their schedule don't get any easier from this point on though.

    Fuckin Ay! Got yourself another Niners fan right here baby!

    I like that JTO can move the ball up field, but apparently 20 sacks in the first 4 games is affecting his vision in the red zone...two picks? Our O-line needs to toughen up, they look like one of those Japanese paper walls out there.

    Our next few games are gonna be a bitch, Patriots and Eagles.

    I would rather see the Niners beat the Eagles than the Patriots. The Eagles fans I know are assholes and I would love to rub in in their FACE! I wouldn't put money on it though Philly is a tough team.

    seriously, does Reid not know play-action?

    Buffalo is starting to scare me, I started to look for the game that'll start the downwards slide to .500. *been a Buffalo fan a long time

    Maybe mild unease, but I wouldn't say outright fear.

    I mean, come on, the Raiders beat KC. Yes, our only win so far and it was against KC.

    True. At this point, the whole division seems to be up for grabs.

    Come'on man, some of us are just faithful fans that just wants one Super Bowl win. I've been a fan for twenty years with one Superbowl win at all. :( 

    How can you develop a play-action, when the other team knows your going throw the football anyway?

    Haha, maybe, but I still think the NFC west is the absolute worst division in Football right now.

    I wanna believe in my Niners, but Gore is about all I have to cheer for there, unless JTO proves he can get back on his horse and really brings it in these next two games.

    But seriously, Rams suck, Seahawks look more like Seagulls in an oil spill, Arizona...meh, even though they did beat us.

    if they were expecting pass, how'd the Eagles get stuffed at the goal line 4 times, all rushes? Play-action doesn't always have to come when you've "established the run", it can come in an obvious running situation and formation. I mean, if it's 2nd and goal at the 1, I line up in a heavy package, 3 TEs, I-formation, then sneak one of those TEs into the flat, it can be pretty effective because the other team is expecting run even if I'm not a run-first (or in the Eagles' case, run-at-all) team.

    Don't know if this was posted yet but Jacksonville Jaguar Corner back Richard Collier, 26, was paralyzed from the waist down, and had his left leg amputated, after being shot 14 times earlier in the month, here's a link to the report:
