Golden Nuggets: Curse the bye week

by Ninjames on Oct 17, 2009 3:00 AM PDT in Golden Nuggets Comment 6 comments

Hey there folks, welcome to the Golden Nuggets, where I am in complete denial to both the 49ers loss last Sunday and the fact that the team doesn't have a game this week. I'm in complete football overdrive and I keep forgetting, over and over that we do not have a game on Sunday. I suppose the links tonight will set me straight since I'm anticipating only have a few for you. I suppose it'll feel a bit like the offseason--if you've been here long you'll know what I mean. Today as far as links I've got some stuff on the offensive line from yours truly, a bit about Frank Gore and Michael Crabtree and their work during the bye week, but beyond that not a lot. I'll get right to them and I'll dig deep tonight. Enjoy the links.

Head trauma is a growing concern in the NFL--just ask 49ers safety Michael Lewis. (MercuryNews.com)

Frank Gore is spending the bye week rehabbing his ankle. I sincerely hope he's ready to play against the Texans, we need him sorely. (Yahoo.com)

Ask A Player: Dashon Goldson. (49ers.com)

For lack of actual news, CB Nate Clements and LB Takeo Spikes are having a pick-off. No, they're not having an interception contest, they're picking five games this bye week and seeing who picks 'em right. My bet goes to Takeo since he's at least ten times more awesome than Clements. (49ers.com)

Maiocco answers some questions or "ties up some loose ends." (PressDemocrat.com)

Singletary's first year definitely has been lively. Definitely. (MercuryNews.com)

Here's a shorter version of the article I posted yesterday about the offensive line. (49ersMix.com)

The Niners don't seem to be trying to get any trades before the deadline on Tuesday. (Examiner.com)

I doubt the niners make any moves

however I wouldnt be surprised either. We really wont know what we have untill the year is over and we are good enough to make the playoffs. Reality is: in due course we’re going to be fine.

The piece in the Mercury News on Singletary is nice

I hadn’t clocked that it was his one-year anniversary about now. I love Coach Sing, and still completely buy his vision for this team.

It has been a boring week though hasn’t it? And I won’t even see the Niners next week as I will be at Wembley watching the Patriots and the Bucs when we are in action in Texas. It’s the only game I shall miss this season, and it’s a reasonable excuse right? You can’t not go when the NFL is your town once a year. How would you guys feel if the Niners were chosen one year for the Wembley game? It’s perfectly feasible – they try to choose teams that are popular in the UK and the Niners still have a base following in this country thanks to the exploits of the 1980s and 1990s.
