Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

Our leader has fallen!

Evening, folks. Just putting up a general article for you all because I'm awesome. In reality though, Fooch asked me to let you all know he won't be around posting anything tonight. His computer is fried and he likely won't have it for a few days. No worries, he always has a plan to get his usual stuff up, a couple dependable people (coughmecough) and all that.

To ramble, today was a pretty good day for football. We've currently got the Sunday night game on in which the Eagles are completely dominating the Giants which for reasons I can't explain makes me happy. It's good to see the Seahawks get the dividends of a constant beatdown today as well from the Texans. Man, that game was ugly. But it was beautiful for us. Sound familiar? Anyway, the Rams lost which was good and the Panthers fell to the Patriots, making that draft choice all the better. I'm really excited by what this team can get with these two picks in this draft.

The Cardinals come to Candlestick tomorrow and I will be at the game. Lets hope to finish this season strong and begin it with a huge win on Monday Night Football so everyone knows the 49ers are for real. Anyway, that's about all folks, look for me to post up an injury report for you tomorrow. Go Niners!

With Fooch gone is {site decorum} still in effect?

If Ninjames could rule the NN blog, what would he change?

by bignerd on Dec 13, 2009 6:17 PM PST reply actions  

It's still in effect

But only out of like, respect for our fallen dictator, Fooch. If I ran this blog you’d probably be required to say certain words at least once a day. I get the feeling this place would be full of much nicer people since they don’t have to hold it all in with “[site decorum]”

I’ll let the rest of you spectate on how things would be if I ran this site, but if I had to hazard a guess I’d say it would be something like this video.

I’d be willing to cut the strawman in favor of the blow up doll. Bonus, the blow up doll comes with a semi-automatic.

maybe we break the streak with Best

we could sure use him in the return game

Theres a 99.99 percent chance Lynch is still in Buffalo next season. I mean 23 year old rb’s with over 2500 yards rushing so far in there career are nice to have around.

I thought it was better than G.I. Joe.

The plot of Transformers wasn’t that interesting and was executed rather clumsily but I thought it tied together in the end, that’s really what saved it for me. The college girl robot was pathetic.

Just to reiterate, I grade it on the Summer Blockbuster scale which puts it at the 30-40 metacritic range to begin with in my mind.

A summer movie that I thought had a terrible ending, Wolverine! Was that mountain of clay and flashing LED’s suppose to be Deadpool?

Brekkon | December 13, 2009 7:23 PM | Reply Matt excellent article of Q&A

The Niners will not even be mathematically eliminated even if we lose tomorrow.

If we win they are in even better shape though.

Scenario 1
If we win out we can go if:
ARI loses 2

Scenario 2
If we win out and ARI wins 2 of their last 3 then we can still get in if:
(assuming NYG lose tonight…fingers crossed)
1. DAL loses at least 2 of (NO,WAS,PHI) &
2. NYG loses at least 1 of (WAS,CAR,MIN)&
3a. ATL loses at least 1 or
3b. ATL wins out AND either DAL or NYG or GB also tie our record
-—————
Scenario 3
We win 3 of last 4 games we need:
(assuming NYG lose tonight…fingers crossed)
1. DAL loses all 3 of (NO,WAS,PHI) &
2. NYG loses at least 2 of (WAS,CAR,MIN)&
3. ATL loses at least 1 &
4. CAR loses at least 1

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong. -Dennis Miller

I was expecting to shake my head and write that would never happen

It’s unlikely but not out of the realm of possibility. Those odds basically come down to:

Cowboys losing a lot in December – like Old Faithful
Giants dropping a few games – it possible, but this where the 49ers need some luck
Falcons lose one game – this is likely

Still, this depends on the 49ers winning out and the two hardest games are MNF followed by an east coast road game against a playoff team. Shame on you for roping me back in.

You know...

The real reason i think the fans are angry with sing at this point is not he has been doing poorly. While he has made some rookie head coach mistakes i believe Its because we had real hope this year. When you have hope, getting crushed really hurts more. Under Nolan we had no hope so it didnt sting so bad as we already expected losing.
This year we all saw how good this team COULD be but they kept dropping the ball(literally and figurativly) to the point they lost over and over. I will continue to back Singletary unless we are in this same position this time next year.

by DCSMITH722 on Dec 14, 2009 9:55 AM PST up reply actions  

Good theory

but it’s hard to deny that Singletary has made questionable decisions come game-time.

Does that mean he sucks? Not yet—just inexperienced. He’s still a “rookie” head coach after all.

Hopefully a season smarter, (and an offensive Coordinator for a whopping TWO straight offseasons) Singletary will know what to do

by brundylop on Dec 14, 2009 11:02 AM PST up reply actions

Dont get your hopes up

it really hurts when reality comes crashing down. remain realistic to the odds that it probably does not have a snowballs chance in He-l-l of happening. I really want it too and if it happens i will be the first in line to celebrate but i am not going to grasp for straws at this point. if it came down to just the niners winning a game then maybe but to many dominoes have to fall just right for me to get exited and then angry when it does not come to fruition.
