Hey guys. I gotta say, I'm tired. I've gone back and forth over how I think this game is going to end up. At one point I was convinced we'd roll all over them and blow them at, at another I was worried we might lose. At another I was wishing the season was over and I'm not sure why. At any rate, right now I'm sitting casually at "this is winnable." and I'm thinking something of a ten point victory. I don't have much else to say really, other than enjoy the links and I cant wait for Sunday.
Edit for lulz: So I searched for "Dolphins 49ers preview" and I forgot to put 2008. I gotta say I feel stupid right now because I read this link for a good five minutes very confused before I realized that it was from 2004. ("since the quarterback’s problems aren’t all his own fault. San Francisco’s offensive line has struggled mightily, failing to protect Rattay" Sound familiar?) (Yahoo.com)

While I was there I found this article about our ex-practice squad WR Chris Hannon. It seems the Dolphins have quizzed him on the 49ers and some of their tendencies. The article assures us, however that nothing shady is going on. (Sun-Sentinel.com)
