    The Birds stuff them. Half over. BUT no!!!!   Their dumb azz coach calls a TO before the ball was snapped!!! 49ers say thank you very much, and Jimmy G tosses a TD pass on the gift TO. Could have been 14-7 at the half- make that 21-7 thanks to some DUMB crap by the Cardinals coach.  

    Late in the game also wasn’t managed the best by Kliff. 

    The 49ers BARELY got a 1st down on 3rd and 3 while up 3 points and trying to milk the game. There was 2:19 seconds. Running back Tevin Coleman stopped clock by running out of bounds. Kliff challenged the spot, which was extremely questionable as they still had 2 timeouts AND the 2 minute warning. 
    They lost the challenge.
    Arizona also dropped back in coverage on third down twice on that drive instead of bringing any extra heat. Jimmy G is the real deal when he has enough time.. Jimmy G was clutch.

    Jimmy G looks like the new Brady. And just imagine how this team will be as they get so many injured players back. If they have them in the playoffs, watch out!

    Fuck the 49ers.  Had enough of them in the 80s/90s.

    Seahawks beat them  a week from Monday.

    Agree except for the "watch out" for this year's playoffs. Even with homefield, there's that experience factor to consider.

    Next year? Watch out....

    Jimmy G has been rock since he took the field as an NFL starter. He's 16-2.

    I would've preferred they had gotten him over just about every other draft prospect. Those years under B&B had to have helped immensely.

    I thought that the Patriots were going to regret trading him away, but apparently Tom Brady drinks the blood of virgin girls or something and will play at a HOF level until he's 60.

    Actually, he boils and consumes the fat of unbaptized children.  Err, well, actually, that is "Flying ointment" for witches and warlocks.

    And word is that if you drive late at night you can locate his house by the sound of these words, "Double, Double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble." So he's both a Satanist and a Plagiarist. I mean who knew this is where the bubble screen was really invented??

  • Tennessee Titans  FIRSTENERGY STADIUM

    Cincinnati Bengals  FIRSTENERGY STADIUM  MUST WIN

    Arizona Cardinals  STATE FARM STADIUM  MUST WIN

    Baltimore Ravens  FIRSTENERGY STADIUM  MUST WIN

    Cincinnati Bengals  PAUL BROWN STADIUM  Please Win

    -----------------------------

    IMO, we have 7 must win games.  These are teams that we should be superior to and, on paper, 'should' beat.  -  With the exception of Baltimore, but I just feel that we have to split with them so I'm calling the 2nd last game a must win.  (really, you need to be able to play 50/50 with your divisional opponents...or you should pretty much tank for next season)

    Then there are 5 Please Win games.  These are other teams that, if we won, it wouldn't really be considered an upset.  -  Included are divisional road games (which are tough) against what is perceived to be weaker teams (be it because they're not that good or because they've lost their QB).

    Then there are 4 games that I really don't expect us to win.

    Now, if we want to make the playoffs we're going to have to get about 10 wins.  I believe that the final 3 quarters have enough winnable games for us to get to 10.

      -  There's No Need For Panicking at this point in time.

    Pittsburgh Steelers  HEINZ FIELD  Please Win    MUST WIN   (because they're beatable with all of their key injuries)

    Cincinnati Bengals  FIRSTENERGY STADIUM  MUST WIN

    Arizona Cardinals  STATE FARM STADIUM  MUST WIN

    Baltimore Ravens  FIRSTENERGY STADIUM  MUST WIN    (we probably have to win out....but perhaps could sneak into the playoffs with a loss)

    Cincinnati Bengals  PAUL BROWN STADIUM  Please Win   Must Win   (because they're very bad this year)

    Because we have 6 losses, we're probably going to have to win out if we want a shot at the playoffs.  The teams in front of us in the wild card hunt are not really losing at the rate we'd like to see.   That Denver loss hurt.

    THIS WEEK:   We've gotta beat Pittsburgh as they're a game in front of us for the wild card.

    The Titans play the Colts.  Both teams are a game ahead of us.  (Titans have the more difficult schedule remaining)

    The Raiders play at the Chiefs.  The Raiders are also a game ahead of us.

    The Bills are the front runner.  They play at the Cowboys.  (they also have the Ravens and Patriots on their schedule, so they 'could' get to 6 losses)

    ----------  We have to keep winning or it really doesn't matter what anyone else does.  We will be IN PITTSBURGH this week.  The crowd will be fired up against us.  The Steelers will be fired up against us.  It's gonna be tough, no matter who their QB is.  We need to go 1-0 this week.

    At this point in time......there is still hope.....

  • We are already in our playoffs.

    So far we are 3-0 with all 3 coming in the proverbial "friendly confines".

    Next is a roadie...

    Go Browns.

    Not sure who to root for.  Really. We need them both to lose.

    The Raiders play at the Chiefs.  The Raiders are also a game ahead of us.

    Go Chiefs

    Go Cowboys.   (God...I hated typing that!)

    See a couple of other threads on this.  We MAY be able to afford one more loss....but this sure as hell ain't that one.

    Correct.  But the Titans have the harder schedule remaining.  So I would probably root for them (even though they beat us).
