Golden Nuggets: Injuries and optimism

by David Fucillo on Nov 3, 2009 3:00 AM PST in 49ers Links

Today's nuggets bring us plenty of injury news. If you missed out yesterday, Joe Staley and Nate Clements are both out for an extended stretch. The links for today have plenty of info, but nothing most of you don't already know. For those who don't want to deal with the injuries, there are also some interesting pieces pointing to the optimism that is rolling along even with the team's current 3-game losing streak. The team talked about taking action, but is certainly putting forth a lot of talk. Let's hope there's some action to back this up on Sunday against Tennessee.

Yeah, same here

It’s actually not working properly for me. The NN square at the upper left is covering a lot of stuff.

I hate it

So bad. The names of stories needs to be bigger and bolder, the posting time and poster need to be smaller and bolder and then I think I might like it. Until them I’m hating it pretty hard.

You can never resist the game... nor could I... we're the same, so don't even try.

I like the overal color scheme...

… as it makes things look “cleaner.” However, there’s so much stuff cluttering your eyes (i.e. all the bold red text). So I think I agree with you in that the by-lines, and various other links need to be modified a bit (though I don’t know about bolder).

forgot to mention that

Yea they changed up the format in hopes of making things “tighter and slicker.” I just posted a FanPost to get folks comments and it has a poll. Please post your comments in there and be as specific as possible.
