i would gladly trade you for a new lamp

I'd make a lampshade out of your skin.

it's just incredible how bad the offensive line is, it affects everything they do offensively. they have to run trick plays at the goal line and on short yardage because mathis, kelce, and devan get blown up just about every play.

on the other end, i refuse to believe the defensive personnel is this bad, linebackers not withstanding. this is almost entirely on the offensive line coach turned defensive coordinator. this was a stupid experiment in the summer and now it's a farging embarrassment

Good news though, Andy totally balanced out the offense this week. McCoy had 9 carries for 18 yards. That's the perfect balance for having Vick drop back 54 times.

Rome · October 02, 2011, 08:00:07 PM

The Niners actually defend the run very well, so it's not a shock that Andy decided to have Vick throw it a thousand times.

It's really not that difficult to pass up and down the field between the 20's and that's what they did all day long.

the offense was fine....400 yards passing....the dumb ass kid makes a 30 yard fg or the defense makes a single stop and the games over

oh and how many games does macklin get to lose before hes thrown in the delaware

its not about 'winning the game'

even if they win this game at the end or hold on or whatever its still an embarrassment

they are supposed to be winning super bowls. not barely beating alex smith at home. i mean the guy can hit bubble screens and slants. thats it. how farging hard is it to gameplan against that.

Don Ho · October 02, 2011, 08:13:57 PM

Right on Todd. There were quite a few of us at the sports bar this morning and all said the same thing. That last quarter and a half we were saying even if they pull this out what a shtein fest. Alex farging Smith? Please.

Quote"They will not win under this non-leader, (coach) Andy Reid," one caller said on WIP-AM. "They will not win anything. I'm just glad he wasn't in charge of D-Day. He is so horrible."

Not bad for a WIP caller.

farg the Eagles. The Phils are on.

shorebird · October 03, 2011, 07:03:09 AM

I'm embarassed for this team, and I want to lock Andy Ried in a room and slide lettuce and carrots under the door. I might have to lock myself in a room when the Eagles play the taterskins.

Quote"They just came out and they wanted it more than we did," said defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins. "They went out there I guess with the mind-set in the second half that they're going to win it, and I think we went out there with the mind-set that we're winning by 17 and we pretty much got this thing in the bag."

No killer instinct - and that trickles down from the coaches.

Step on peoples throats and put an end to games when you have a lead

thats a major problem with the defense....where is the dawg on the defense...the good players they have are talented but hardly intimidating...theres a couple small pash rushers on the outside and some soft as farg corners and thats it....where is the linebacker or safety who is going to put their helmet thru a solar plexis....or the d lineman who is going to blow people up....there isnt that right now...the defense is so incredibly soft and is being led by a cartoon character who no players repsect or listen to

they still have not addressed losing dawks toughness and leadership and they miss that more than ever right now

Zanshin · October 03, 2011, 09:49:53 AM

Had to disagree. The team has no soul.

If you don't have a middle lb, on any team in the nfl, that is not the fire of that defense I don't think you have much nfl success. Usually the toughest most vocal guy gets the most respect, but there is a bunch of mutes on that side of the ball. Aside from that, you mean to tell me that not one d-lineman can open his mouth and be a man?

I find that just strange.
