Aqib Talib making his mark early in New England. If they can get him to behave himself off the field he will be some trade for them.
Provos are really struggling for the last hour or so. Itās been a difficult season but it would be a real embarrassment to lose to Gman.
Patriots-Colts is a very enjoyable game. Have a dental appointment at 8am and need sleep but I think Iām going to have to see this one through to its conclusion.
The Niners tearing the Bears a new one here 20-0 approaching HT
niners fans - which of alex smith or kaepernick will lead us to the superbowl?
I wouldnāt be getting too carried away with Kaepernick. He had a great game last night but the Bears pass rush was non-existent. Heās still a very limited QB who will be found out if he stays under centre for a long stretch.
The Niners D were back to their very best last night. Looking down the line theyāve got the Saints, Rams, Pats and Seahawks away and the Cardinals and Dolphins at home. They need to win 5 of them to be certain of winning the division but realistically 4 should be enough as I canāt see the Seahawks running the table.
Harbaugh said post game heād go with the quarterback with the hottest hand going forward. That may create uncertainty rather than healthy competition.
Would hope that its Smith he has done the business so far this season and has alot more experience! nice to see we have solid back up should disaster strike again in the later stages! I really think it is San Frans year.
Time to go with Kap. Smith cannot chase a game, he can only manage a lead if the running game is established early on. If we ship a few early scores we are in trouble as had been Sweden in the games we have lost this far this year. Kaepernik pulled us back into the game against St Louis once he settled down, no way would Smith have managed that.
Anyway whatever Harbaugh decides will be good enough for me, the man is a genius.
Great stuff lads. Reminds me of the Any Given Sunday movie with steaming Wille Beamen as the up and coming QB same like Kasper and the experienced hand Smith similar to Cap Rooney with his injuries. Letās hope it is a Hollywood ending although with the 9ers going all the way.
Pretty sure I was at Smithās debut or one of his first games for the 9ers. I have spent a good bit of time in SF over the years and have always kept an eye on him. First round draft pick from Utah coming into a terrible 9ers side that got Gore to pretty much run everything. Was going nowhere under different coaches but there was a game he came in for Shaun Hill a few years back that seemed to change his career around. Harbaugh put faith in him and was rewarded with a great year. Smith has always been a conservative player but he is well able to throw winning passes too.
Now the K man has showed huge belief in his debut game and the fans love to see a QB who takes risks. But it was against a woeful Bears side on the night. Smith for me is the guy who has been through it all and is the one to lead the 9ers to glory
They may have been woeful on offense, but they have a top 3 defense. I wouldnāt dismiss what Kap was able to do against them, looking back at the highlights, I was very impressed with his ability to see the field and cycle through his options, he showed immense composure.
Lions get a rare TD in the first quarter here. JJ Watt sacked Stafford on the first play of the game, heās a beast.
Outstanding drive it was too, carved Texan defense right open. Detroit will still find a way to fuck this up although Houston donāt look too arsed so far.
Itās gas the way the commentators rarely slaughter the officials - that was a shocking decision by Walt Coleman and his crew.
Stafford was awesome on that drive. Some of the throws he makes are unreal.
This has been a very entertaining game so far. Johnson is getting shot done
Stafford on fire.Some understanding with Johnson.Both Dās are shit. Texans have learnt nothing from last weeked.
āJoe Buck leads Troy Aikmanā
Well done again Kev you complete mongo.
Kid fucking rock is the best detroit could come up with for the half time show. :rolleyes:
Thats a fucking farce.
