Ask Revenge of the Birds

PrintHey guys, Joe from Revenge Of The Birds here for the obligatory discussing the matchup thread before next weeks Monday Night game.
Now, of course both of our seasons are going nothing like what we were expecting. The 49ers were expected to return to greatness this season, and that Alex Smith would finally thrive with the weapons around him and finally having some continuity at Offensive Coordinator. But that hasn't really happened. And here, people were expecting Matt Leinart to get his shot, and honestly I don't think that he can be any worse than Derek Anderson at this point (we have a game going on where we are all coming up with derisive nicknames for him), a lot of players have been banged up this year, and I miss Kurt Warner more and more every day. Right now, I'm just hoping that we can draft Andrew Luck.
So, if there is anything you guys want to know, ask away and feel free to drop by RotB.
Also, I'm sure a lot of people on RotB want to gloat about you guys being 3-7 after the lofty expectations, but the Cardinals are also 3-7 and they have lost 5 games in a row just like the 49ers did to start the year, so I hope that none of us do that. Save the trash talk for when either of our teams are actually playing well. Its pointless with the seasons that we are having right now.

I personally think we should start Max next Monday
We already know what we have with Anderson so it’s time to experiment with the rookies.

Why not?
At least let the kid get some more experience.

Nay
Max Hall can’t get it done. The offense doesn’t even have a chance with him. Anderson sucks but defenses respect his arm to a degree. Too bad he can’t hardly connect on over half of his passes. We don’t have a QB worthy of starting the game.
LOL LOL LOL
welcome to the 9er fans world!!
When is our QB going to answer questions like "You only threw 4 TD's today. What's wrong with the offense?" I miss the 90's.....
When Troy Smith learns the offense!!!
If we can get Andrew Luck
Yeah

Dan Williams isn't starting
But they rotate him around with the other two Nose Tackles and he has played well. He looks like he does a good job handling double teams, and he will be a good Nose Tackle in the future.

Why didn't you guys draft a QB last year or the year before that?
Did you guys believe that Warner would come back?
Kellen Moore is awesome
I'd assume it was because they thought Leinart would be the guy
Then they decided that he wasn’t enough of a leader during Preseason and Training Camp and dumped him for a guy with more swagger and intangibles.

We did draft a QB last year
John Skelton, 5th round. A project QB that won’t be ready to do any more than hold a clipboard for 2 years. I knew Warner was going to retire at the end of last season midway through. He was getting torn up. The hit he took in the Saints game during the playoffs was the cap on it. Leinart was supposedly the guy, but wasn’t getting it done on who knows how many levels. I don’t believe Whisenhunt planned on parting with him until after they had their private meeting following the third preseason game. Whis had put in Anderson as the starter to see if he could kick start the offense into doing something. Leinart took issue with the idea. Next thing you know Leinart is getting cut.
yes, with the winner being one out of first. crazy.
it is going to be who wants higher draft pick vs. who thinks they really have a shot at the playoffs. lol

Only an angry vocal minority is calling for that to happen
I’ll forgive Whiz for the mistakes he’s made this past year if he gets an OC, a real QB, and drafts well for next season,
by CanadianCard on Nov 21, 2010 7:00 PM PST up reply actions
Some people are
Look for Az Retiree in the comments section on RotB. Most of us still have faith in Whiz, but we think that he needs to hire an Offensive Coordinator, and a lot of us want Billy Davis (you guys should remember him) fired right now.

I saw all of the time managment issues you guys had with him calling the plays
Don’t want that with an already scattershot armed QB.

Not me.
I was a New England Patriots fan way back in the days when they sucked. I moved from that part of the country to Arizona in the mid eighties. When the Cardinals moved to the desert I adopted them as my new team. I just can’t stand following a winning franchise. Couldn’t be happier that my team sucks again. JK, lol.
I think Monday nights game will be funny... Who wants to lose the most?? eh? eh? eh?

We are losing right now
It happens.
I think Fitz is loyal to the team, and I hope they pay him as much as possible during the offseason, but I would not be surprised if he wants to go to a winner.

Anquan Boldin was loyal too... until the Bidwell's basically gave him the finger. It's what they do...it's in their DNA.
Just like Jed York and his momma and poppa

Yeah... taking a shot in the jaw with it being shattered and coming back to play pretty quick is pretty damn loyal.
Say what you will but he was the ultimate team player. Trust. I live in AZ and my best friend is a die-hard Cards fan. He’d tell you the same thing and then slap you across the face for saying anything different.

Boldin left 'cause the franchise is a joke and would not pay him what he is worth.
He was loyal 6 years too long if you ask me.

7 if you count his rookie year when he didn't know any better and was just thankful to be in the NFL

No Boldin is a beast,
but loyal? No, he wanted the eff out of AZ. Was he loyal to his teammates? Damn right he was, he just hated the organization.

He also seemed to like the fans here a lot too.
Almost every time he scored a Touchdown, he would find one of the fans and hand them the ball.
It seemed like he was loyal to everyone here but the owners and some of the coaches.

That was basically the point I was making I thought?
Hence, why I think it could happen to Fitz as well.

Where did you expect your team to be at this point in the season, record-wise?
I would’ve been shocked if you would’ve told me 3-7. I would’ve thought (optimistically, of course) 7-3. You guys?

My expectations before the season began...
6-4
I also expected you guys to be 6-4 or 7-3.
If this season has taught me anything, it was that Derek Anderson’s Pro Bowl season was a fluke.

I had 6-4 I think at this point too.
Most of the tough games came early. Sadly we could easily have that record if not for the suckage in the QB dept. Even with as poorly as our defense has sometimes played.
And if the Defense could just hold a lead
The Tampa Bay and Minnesota games would become wins, and we would be 5-5. Those games were frustrating as hell to watch.

How to beat the Niners
1) Keep Troy in the pocket
2) Wait until 3rd and long, then wait until a WR comes wide open in the middle for the first down. (If DA can hit a wide open receiver)
3) Make Sing a larger wooden cross for his neck. I think it makes him dumber.
I don’t think that at all… and of course this is all speculation on your behalf

With the wide open receivers
There is still a chance that DA might throw it so high that the receiver has to jump up to get it, or he will throw it so hard that the guy can’t catch it.

Sad but true.
I would rather have mister check down himself, Leinart.

We saw that a lot last week.
Seemed like every throw DA made was a foot over the receivers head.

When you say DA do you mean alex smith?
sounds exactly like what he does but the DA is throwing me off.
lol

Ouch
Congrats on beating the hell out of us. Sorry to hear about Gore. I have a lot of respect for him and his game. Definitely one of the best and most consistent RB’s in the game. Tough loss.
Good luck with the rest of the season.
