So I posted a similar thread to this one on the 49erswebzone which decayed quickly and wouldn't ya know it, some overly sensitive, limp-wristed, nancy boi of a moderator has gone and banned me for being a "jerk".

What a fecking JOKE! I swear the SF bay area is full of these types. But I guess I don't need to tell you guys.

I did say that board was over-moderated though. The little kneejerk beotch couldn't just delete my post... or the thread... he had to a delete an entire portion of the site which included several sub-forums. Talk about gross over-kill.

It makes it hard to be a Niner fan sometimes.

I'm sooo glad I moved out of that shithole state. GOD BLESS TEXAS!!!

The webzone is a xxxxing joke now. All of the good members who knew something are all gone and if they arent nobody knows who they are because they were banned. I helped build that site with old school guys like GTSCH. We didnt get along but we made that site fun and entertaining at least. Now that site is like watching a commercial in between timeouts. You got shit popping up on the screen, idiots running wild, and very few who know WTF they are talking about anymore. David and all of his cronies have ruined that site. That site used to be fun and the best place to get not only 49er news but football knowledge in general. That website has no substance anymore. Its all about attracting new sponsors. The Webzone can lick my balls....

This has been an interesting week. I didn't see this coming.

I dont know about you, but I sure am. Muahahahahahahahahaha

Lets put it like this, if my own brother is acting like a punk. I might see it that he gets his ass kicked while I watch!

We just signed Joe Thomas (LT) to a 7 year, 84 million dollar contract with 44 million guaranteed. Outside of that, we have spent virtually nothing on the rest of the line.. Thomas is a pro bowler every year and just may be the best LT in the game so this isn't a bad move. He was at the end of his contract and if we let him go, our OL would be 10 times worse than it is now..

There are a couple guys on here that believe offensive lineman are a dime a dozen and are only drafted in the first few rounds after a team is a Super Bowl contender. In other words, they feel that lineman are fat slobs worth nothing to a team. Feel free to weigh in..

I`d love to weigh in....

I have a prime example for you and its my beloved 49ers who I know everything about. Let me lay it out for you. The 49ers have been struggling with the offensive line for years. We had guys that could run block very well but they were a liability in pass protection. Namely guys like the piano playing Kwame Harris who was a bear in the run game, but he led the team in surrendered sacks every year and even when he didnt allow the sack he might as well have. He just forced the qb into the arms of another defender. We also had a huge hole at LG once Larry Allen retired. It was a void that was hard to fill. In Allens first year as a 49er Gore rushed for a career high 1695 yds mostly behind the future hall of famer. Then once he was gone, we were stuck at LG and our young promising RT(Kwame) never took that step. After many patch jobs and band aids the 49ers finally had enough. In the 2010 draft they had two first round picks and they made an unprecedented move. They drafted two offensive lineman in the first rd. That is unheard of in todays football world. We actually even traded up from the 13th pick to the 11th pick to draft RT Anthony Davis. Then just a few picks later(pick #17 first rd) they drafted LG Mike Iupati who was considered by most pundits to be the best Olineman in the draft.

Last year we took some lumps because we started two rookies on the offensive line. Not only that but we moved our backup gaurd David Baas to center last year do to an injury to our starting center (Eric Heitman). So last year we had 2 rookies and a guy who hadnt played center since college. Which at the time had been about 3 or 4 years.

Fast forward to this year if you will. We havent made many significant additions and our personnel is very similar to last year. The obvious difference is, The play of the offensive line. Last Years 2 rookies and previous 1st round pick Joe Staley are all playing at a high level and allowing the offense time to perform. We also added pro bowl Center Jonathan Goodwin from the Saints after we lost Baas in FA. Point is, we have invested a ton in our offensive line and its paying off big time.

If the Line doesnt open up Holes then you cant run, And if the Line cant protect then you wont have time to complete a pass. I could complete a 20 yd pass if you give me time!

Games are won and lost in the trenches... My lousy 2 cents!

More classy 49 fans I see...

Maybe the guy isnt ready yet. You sir are a moron if you think Hillis wont play because of the 49ers defense. Hillis is a man and he runs with pure heart on every play. The whole reason he is good is because of the way he runs,(with pure passion)which is with reckless abandoned and an unquenchable thirst for contact.

I wish you had the balls to say this to anyone in the NFL let alone Hillis.

So whats the verdict? How much do you guys spend on that Oline? I didnt read the whole thread. I will tell you what though, money usually equals talent, and it all starts up front.

Maybe you've been asleep for the last 20 years or so, but if you are "ashamed" at such "disrespect" maybe you should wake up and stop trying to sidle up to the Browns fans who clearly don't need your help. Nothing in that post was out of line. Did you also used to apologize for getting your ass kicked in high school?

I dont apologize for anything. But I also dont walk around talking shit, so I never have to. But I promise you, I would knock your xxxxing head off of your shoulders and play kickball with your face if you xxxxed with me. Im ashamed because you guys are acting like a bunch of xxxxing idiots. I wacthed the Niners win all 5 superbowls and im going to tell you right now. This team aint shit compared to those teams! You`re just a young punk who doesnt know shit, and now you are prematurely ejaculating all over the place. But thats to be expected, you are a virgin when it comes to winning, a xxxxing rookie son! You dont know shit!

Its just a color, big deal. Im sure the Browns fans here can now die in peace having read this life altering thread.

I honestly don't care if he goes diva, as long as he is a productive receiver. I think after seeing not too many teams have an interest in signing him, he is going to become more of a team player and less about himself.

Oh wait! Are we talking about Braylon or TO?

I honestly dont care what you think because you are a moron!!!!!!

Thats like saying...

I dont care if my wife is a whore and screws everybody, She treats me good! Bwhahahahahahahahaa, STFU!!!!

@dannyboy said:

Stats lie, so I will explain it for you.

Yes you rank high in team defense, but what offenses have you faced? A rookie qb for the Bengals in game 1 (I believe), the dolphins and colts. You'll forgive me if that doesn't impress me.

Whereas we are 1 overtime play away from being 6-0. We've beat Detroit in their house to end their hot streak and unbeaten record, while keeping Calvin out of the endzone and knocking J Best out of the game. We made a decent Bucs team look silly.

So I think the answer is that everyone sees it but you with your homer glasses on.

That being said, this game could go either way, but there's a few reasons why all of the espn experts are picking the niners this week, as well as Vegas.

Why do you find it necessary to walk into somebody elses house and disrespect them? I am ashamed of some of my 49er brethren. 7 weeks ago most fans/media had us going 6/10 - 9/7 at the very best. I even recall a few pundits saying we were going to be front runners in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. Dont come in here talking smack like we are the new big, bad, bully on the block. Because truth be told, we havent won sh!t yet. That "Salty" Browns defense could knock Alex and Gore out and then where would we be? Look what they did to Oakland and their playoff hopes. The Browns single handedly shut the door on Oaklands playoff run in week 6 of the NFL season.

Idiot Niner fans is right, we havent done SH!T yet!!!

"All-pro" WR's aren't all-pro for one good season.

For as many good plays Braylon made in Cleveland he had two or three bad ones.

Plus the drama.

He thought we hated him because he was from Michigan. No dummy, we hated you because you acted like TO before putting up the stats on the field.

He asked a Texans DB on the line of scrimmage for information about his modeling agent.

Enjoy him. Good wideout or not, he isn't missed.

Wow, really? I have to admit, that is pretty damn pathetic. Get your fing head in the game. I never heard that story before. Could you please share some more Braylon gems? This is a real concern for me because as you know we had to deal with the real TO(AKA diva presidentay). And most Niner fans will tell you, up until this year Crabtree has been a bit of a diva himself. Not only that but Vernon Davis was trying to pull that diva stuff too until Singletary threw his ass out of the game and kicked him off the sideline. I think Vernon has turned it around though and I think he finally gets it, the team comes first. I know all about cancers in the locker room and how they can divide a team and ruin it. Im just not as aware of his antics as much as you Browns fans would be. I was kinda hoping the niners would re-sign him after this year. Everything I have heard has been on the up an up. Of course Harbaugh has known Edwards since he was a young child, maybe that helps, IDK.

@marvin49 said:

And those are 2 of the three teams that held gor under 100...the other is Cincy...another good D.

Yeah and the Kicker there is, that was our first 3 games of the year. So everyone was saying that the 49ers couldnt run the ball and gore was done, blah, blah, blah.... Those were top notch run defenses and those guys get paid too.

@choco said:

he was also getting passes from a semi-respectable QB in NY. sanchez >>> game-manger-almost-geriatric smith who finally figured out how to pass the ball 7 years into his career.

Sounds to me like you fans should be mad at your front office and not Braylon Edwards. For them not putting a viable QB option to pair with your would be All Pro WR. I seem to remember the one year that you guys got really good QB play and went to the playoffs Braylon had 16 td rec. That doesnt happen on accident, Braylon has always had the skill set to be a force in this league. He just never got any solid QB play.

Even in 2007 when you guys took the NFL by storm didnt you guys play 2 qbs much of the year? It was Anderson and I can remember the other guy, who was it? Tim Couch? Point is they have not had any consistency at the QB position for a long time and Edwards performance was a direct result. You guys are lucky to have Holmgren though. He will certainly find you a qaulity NFL QB sooner then later. Thats what he does, and he does it well.

@choco said:

Um...Seattle had the #1 rated rush defense dumbass....

Irony is u talking about others being illogical.

What you talking about Willis? When did Seattle have the number one ranked rush defense? after week one maybe, they played us well and only allowed Gore like 55 yds or so... Dallas has been the number one rush defense all year and Sea is #11.

@brownindian said:

Gee and u think the Browns were playoff calibre when Braylon was there ? look at the history and the record. Why dont u use the Jets as an example considering they are the neutral team ? Why would they let Braylon go and replace him with Burress who has nvr played in the NFL in a while ? Which NFL team in its right mind will do that ? Also after he was let go, how many NFL teams came with a contract for him ?

What you fail to realize is that Braylon is our 4th or 5th option in the passing game. He isnt asked to be the man in San Fran like he was in Cle. Our first option is of course our TE`s(Vernon Davis & Delanie Walker who both have 3 Tds a piece. Our 3rd option in the passing game is Crabtree and he has worked with Alex for a couple years now. You could even argue that Gore and Hunter will see more targets out of the backfield than Braylon will. So that makes him our 4th or 5th option in the passing game? That is a freaking awesome 4th-5th option if I do say so myself. He had 900yds and 7 tds last year for the Jets who were a run first team. Our 5th option puts up better numbers then your #1 option. Dont hate dude, its ok. Get over it already.

The only stat needed for Cleveland....

The 3 teams they've beaten have a combined 2 wins, all by Seattle, who they only beat in a 3 FG game at home...

Thats the truth!!!
