Golden Nuggets: No More Bittersweet Week 17 Victories

by James Brady on Jan 1, 2012 2:00 AM PST in 49ers Links

So, it's gameday, and I still am riding that "we finally made it back to the playoffs" high, aren't you all? I guess that's just because, usually, we'd be fighting for nothing at this point in the season. Week 17 has always marked the last time we get to see our team play in a long time, and while it was always meaningless, I always loved watching it with a bit of a bittersweet feeling. Now I'll thoroughly enjoy a game that we don't have to win, that also doesn't mark the end of the season. That's one of the best feelings ever, I must say. Anyway, the 49ers will almost assuredly win today and we can lock up that No. 2 seed. LET'S DO IT LEG GO, GO NINERS! Just quick links today.

Ginn would be nice if Kyle is a no-go

Going three deep on punts and kickoffs adds some uncertainty. Don’t even want to think about being in a game late with these guys.

Time to take care of business. Go niners.

For football today. My head hurts and football is the cure.
