The Bill Parcells tree still exists and is relevant, but the only guys out of the Walsh tree still making noise is Shanahan thanks in big part to his son and RGIII and Mike McCarthy with GB.

We’re in the Harbaugh era now boys.

Two coaches on opposing coasts and conferences that are straight running shit. Schemes on both sides of the ball, player decisions, drafts, and how the on the field business is run is going to be either in support of a Harbaugh team, or in how to beat a Harbaugh team.

It’s exciting shit. Their teams are physical, in your face, fast, unpredictable, athletic, and for lack of a better term, FRESH.

I like the direction the NFL is headed, it’s been a fun season all around.

Well I for one hope the Harbaurgh tree doesn’t teach crying on the sidelines all fuckin’ day.

Favre:

10,169 attempts, 6,300 completions, 62%, 71,838 yards
508 TD’s, 336 INT’s (roughly 1.5 TDs per interception), 45 game winning drives
1 Super Bowl, 186 career wins, over 19 years

Montana:
5,391 attempts, 3,409 completions, 63.2%, 40,551 yards
273, TD’s, 139 INT’s (roughly 2 TDs per interception), 33 Game winning drives
4 Super bowls, 117 career wins, over 15 years

They look pretty comparable to me with the exception of Super Bowl wins.

[/quote]

Montana missed the entire 91 and 92 seasons and most of the 87 season due to injury and a players’ strike. So he put those numbers up in 12 seasons, not 15. And he did so in a much more run-oriented league. The rules were HEAVILY slanted toward QBs for most of Favre’s career. Not so with Montana.

And 4 Super Bowls as opposed to one is a HUGE exception, especially when considering that Favre was directly responsible for missing out on a chance to play in one TWICE due to his own ineptitude.[/quote]

Part of Favre’s legacy was his Ironman like ability to avoid injury. We’ll never know what Montana would have done with a handful more seasons. Like I said Montana may have had a great passer rating, but the Niners defense must have been a large part of those wins. Also Favre really did not benefit from the pass happy league at least for very long and he also didn’t have Jerry Rice to throw too.

That pics shows Cower yelling, not crying, there is a distinction sniff sniff* sticks nose in the air~.

And don’t you try to sell me on the they’re just being competitive. They are sucks plain and simple. I’m not saying they can’t coach, it’s obvious they can or they wouldn’t be where they are.

Apparently it’s a trait with all Harbaughs

2nd Paragraph:

“I first saw Jim Harbaugh in a grocery store in Evansville, Indiana, where I was raised, arm half-cocked, staring into the middle-distance of some 1991 defense, on a black-and-blue football card. H-A-R-B-A-U-G-H. The guy played for the Bears. I asked my father, lugging Busch Lite and laundry detergent, if this man was really a Harbaugh like us, a member of the same tribe, with our beakish noses and propensity for crying. He nodded a solemn affirmative and explained that there were thoseâ??like this football star’s own coach, the beaver Ditkaâ??who did not know the mettle that lay helixed in our DNA.”

Re: Joe Montana. One of the funniest comments I’ve ever heard come out of football players mouth was when he was heckling Joe about his skinny legs during some training camp, can’t remember what year or player. Anyway the guy yells at Joe, " the last time I seen legs that skinny they were hanging out of a nest lol". I fucking love that line.

You know I’m a Steeler fan DB but Joe is #1 on my book. No one has come along and changed my mind. That cocksucker gutted me in the playoffs when he played for K.C. That and a blocked fucking punt.

I’m curious DB, did you hate his guts after he left? It was Young’s time I guess not so much about cash.

Me I’m a child when it comes to ex Steelers, I want nothing but failure from most of them after they leave. The worst was Rod that traitorous bastard Woodson, no one player even comes close.

[/quote]

Dude, Woodson left because the Rooneys were cheap motherfuckers and they thought he had nothing left after the ACL tear. They were clearly wrong and left him hanging, so he bolted. I have no issue with him at all.

I’m still waiting for someone else to tear their ACL and then come back in the SAME FUCKING SEASON.

34-17 Ravens. you heard it here first.

Derek,

Did you catch this?

I was hoping they’d bring in someone, but this might be better than no change.

Jesus in cleats did it(then fractured his patella in the same game he returned from his ACL+MCL tear, after 14 weeks).

Not even close brah.

Flactard won’t be able to put up 34 points against SF.

More like 27-17(maybe 24) San Fran.

It depends on the tear. They are not all alike.

The Eagle will be fine, and play well.

The game will come down to Kapernick or however you spell his name. If he stays calm and collected like he did last week, the 9ers win this game with Balt getting some garbage points at the end that make it seem closer than it really was.

However, if that kids picks this week to come back down to reality, well the the Ravens win in a tight game with some serious, serious physical play.

No respect for the Ravens. Story of the season. I guess beating probably the two best teams in the league back-to-back isn’t enough. That’s fine…

I think it’ll be a close game more like the Ravens/Denver game than the Ravens/Pats game.

135

I dont know, if the niners dont get to Flacco which there is no reason to believe that they would I can see Flacco putting up some huge numbers. Im going Ravens 31 niners 24.

It’s not that Baltimote isn’t getting any respect, it’s the fact that their D is old and has struggled against mobile QB’s because of it.

Their two games this season against mobile QB’s (Vick and RG3) they lost. Vick accounted for more than 400 yards and RG3 was right around 300 without playing a full game.

I feel that their D won’t be able to keep up with the read option which will set up the big pass plays.

I think it will be a close game but I see SF winning by a little bit. I think both teams are pretty evenly matched overall.

The defense is playing lights put right now and I think they’ll play much better against this mobile qb. They might not, it’s just my gut feeling. They held Tom Brady to 13 pts without their top cb after all.

They have had problems with the run this year at time though.
