Golden Nuggets: No, seriously, can't wait

We're getting closer and closer to the week one showdown against the Seattle Seahawks. I'm a bit worried about our offensive linemen performing at Qwest Field, but at the same time, I'm more than confident in those guys. It should, by all means, be a great game for us. How much roster turnover have the 'Hawks had? I just don't know how to feel about them at this point. We had some news yesterday involving Nate Davis, which I think the majority of us here at Niners Nation were glad to hear about. Lastly, I wanted to let everyone who is interested know that the official Niners Nation Podcast is getting back up very soon as I'm mostly recovered from sickness. You can expect the next episode after the Seahawks game, and after that, at least once (but probably twice) a week. Enjoy the links.
If you haven't went over yet, Fooch has a post over at Field Gulls for discussion pertaining to the game on Sunday. John Morgan from over there has a post here as well. Keep it clean, folks. (Field Gulls/Niners Nation)
Nate Davis was signed to the eight-man practice squad after clearing waivers. Jarrett Brown was released to make room for him. (PressDemocrat.com)
One of the significant things yesterday was the announcing of the 49ers 2010 team captains. Alex Smith was named one of them, which speaks volumes for his progress this offseason. (CSNBayArea.com)
The 49ers rank high in retaining their draft picks. That's pretty cool. (SacBee.com)
One of the keys for the 49ers last year were to finish. They weren't entirely ... successful in their endeavors. Hopefully they can do it this season. (49ers.com)
Trent Dilfer is picking the 49ers to go 11-5 and win a playoff game. Funny, I'm predicting the same thing. (MercuryNews.com)
The Niners aren't worried about the Seahawks and their inside information of the 49ers. Neither am I, to be honest. There's not a whole lot they can gain, I think, more than likely, Michael Robinson gave them more information than anybody. (MercuryNews.com)
Here's some predictions for the 49ers draft picks. I find something about this article highly entertaining. Can you guess what it is? (SFGate.com)
The focus now shifts to the 49ers offensive line. It's something I'll be watching a lot this year, considering I'm no longer interested in the special teams unit. My favorite aspects of the game, as I've said before, are offensive line play and special teams. (CSNBayArea.com)
You can listen to the audio from a couple of conference calls with Pete Carrol and Matt Hasselbeck. (49ers.com)
49ers Impact Local Charity Efforts. (49ers.com)
Be sure you go and welcome Eric Branch to the 49ers beat. Phil Barber had to step down. (PressDemocrat.com)

Here is a good article from Yahoo about the CBA. It is pretty long but a good read: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ms-laborquestions090810

Kevin Lynch's entertainment value:
-Our new CB, “Patrick” Adams? (From Lynch’s entry a few days ago)
-His calling out the FO and Singletary for letting Nate Davis go, who had ‘multiple’ teams interested in him?
-No mention of Crabtree as a hit draft pick?
Lynch is full of fun…among other things.
Just updated my subscription to NFL Gamepass
Bought a month for 70 US dollars. That’s great value – I get to watch every game in the NFL for 28 days for 45 of my royal English spondoolicks. This means I’m all set up and ready for the games against Seattle, Kansas and Atlanta. I won’t be able to watch the Saints game as it kicks off at 1.30am in the UK and finishes about an hour before I need to get up for work, so although I’ve paid for it, I’ll have to miss it. The Philly game is on free-to-air TV here anyway, and is also at a time I can’t watch, so I just bought a month and we’ll go from there. Fantastic to be all set up. Cannot wait now – let’s go 49ers.

I really wish NFL Gamepass was available over here and not just overseas. Sure, Sunday Ticket is great, but I wouldn’t mind the option of having an MLB.tv type service for the NFL. I also think it would be great if I could order all of the 49ers games in a season for a discounted price from the full price of Sunday Ticket, instead of getting all the NFL games.
by Andrew Davidson on Sep 9, 2010 8:12 AM PDT up reply actions
individual games should also be available
I’d pay like $10 to watch a 49ers game and I’m sure others who can’t afford hundreds for Sunday Ticket would too.

my comment piggy backs/agrees with yours…case of me not reading your comment thoroughly before posting mine!

It's a great service.
You can buy all the games from all the teams for the season, all the games from all the teams for a month, all the games from all the teams for a week, or just your team’s games for the whole season.
I bought all the games for the month as nice to have the option of watching other games. Might watch a bit of one of the 6am (10am Pacific) games on Sunday as a warm-up for the Niners. They’re all in HD too – quality is better than my TV.
Sunday itinery as follows :-
3pm: Start preparing roast
5pm: Family eat Sunday roast together
5.02pm: First glass of red wine of evening
6.30pm: Kids in bath
7pm: Kids in bed
7.05 pm: Downstairs with laptop, watching one of the 6pm games while wife deals with children’s myriad reasons for why they really ought not to be in bed (last night’s favourite – “I scraped my knee on my sheet” … how is that even possible, I asked, to no satisfactory response.)
7.07pm: Return to unfinished wine bottle. Continue until 9pm.
9pm to approx midnight, or 0030: The five-time world-champion San Francisco 49ers have gotten off to a 1-0 start to what is expected to be a Super Bowl season by vanquishing the Seattle Seahawks at Qwest Field. Coach Mike Singletary said: “They worked their tails off.”
0030: Bed. Sleepy wife: “Did they win?” Me: “Yes.” Wife: “Good. Now turn off that f@*$ing light.”

It’s a quarter-past-1969. Will you be quiet? I’m trying to watch the moon landings.

seriously
you made no sense above. You said you might watch the 6am games, 10am pacific…then your itinerary is all evening times…

Oh yes, sorry
I meant 6pm.
We’re still in BST actually, in answer to manraj7. We go into GMT in the autumn/fall.
Your 10am Pacific games are 6pm for us; 1pm games Pacific are at 9pm. SNF and MNF are unwatchable.
Kids are three and almost seven. By which I mean, their ages are three years and seven years. I didn’t purchase them for three-and-seven – we don’t use pre-decimal currency anymore.

Isn’t there a time standard GMT+[0-23]? Essentially GMT is the base standard while the plus some number is the hour difference between the time zone
GMT=Greenwich Mean Time
i.e. the Prime Meridian. Every clock in the world is based off GMT

I'm curious too

Uh, if you can afford NFL Gamepass, surely you can afford a DVR to record games and watch later!

but with gamepass you can purchase just the games of one specific team. you cannot do this with sunday ticket.

He lives in London
Can’t get the games on regular tv there.

So what you're saying is... America > England, right?
And of course, by proxy, Ninjames > London Niner, right?
Yes.

Eh ...
I wouldn’t say London > California. London is fantastic, but better than the state as a whole? Nah. San Jose and San Francisco are top tier cities, though I’d pick London over either one of them on their own.

Well, it's probably right that I couldn't pay you enough
Because it’s so expensive, but like I said, San Jose and San Francisco are fantastic cities.

I will say
that if I had to live in one city in Cali it would be San Francisco (and not just because of the 49ers connection). I really do like the city but the “city” I live in now has 50,000 and I think it’s too crowded.

he writes the most on NN

Predictions
just a few…
49ers will have 5 sacks in the game, yes, Willis will get one, LaBoy, Smith, then take your pick.
Crabtree will have about 65 yards receiving and a touchdown.
Vernon will have 2 TD’s.
The Seahawks will rush for 40 yards.

Crabtree gets 80 yards
Vernon gets one touchdown, 100 yards
Ziggy has one nice catch, 26 yards
Frank Gore rushes for a touchdown, 116 yards

Seems like a week one showdown in Seattle is the one scenario they could beat us in this year.

Although I’m less sunshine than I ought to be.
49ers will have 4 sacks in the game.
49ers will intercept Hasselbeck twice, while allowing 2 PaTDs also.
Crabs will have 4 catches, 58 yards, 0 TDs.
VD will have 6 catches, 84 yards, 1 TD.
Alex Smith with throw 1 INT.
Frank Gore will run for 99 yards, 1 TD, 3 catches, 27 yards.
Tedd Ginn will burn the Seahawks for one deep catch, going for 43 yards and a score.
