Less than 5 days, DB, less than 5 days. Man I’m getting pumped.

How about an avatar wager between Chico State alums? Winner chooses the loser’s avatar until the end of the Super Bowl.

Hmm. The Hawks are pretty fucking good at home, but I can only imagine the depraved pic you would choose in the unlikely event of a loss. I’ll tell you what, make the pics a respectable pic of an opposing team player or logo something not gross and offensive like that and I’m in.

Okay my friend IMO that was just a good game even if Dallas lost I would say the same thing.[/quote]

Romo pulled a houdini on one play that had me yelling at the TV like an idiot. Scared the bejesus out of the cat lol.

I’m with you on it being an entertaining game too.

Seriously though I am quite please at the loss yesterday, we all now Ryan is delusional at least this will now make him face reality.[/quote]

Used to think that myself but am not so sure anymore. I think he’s just trying to do the best with the shit sandwich of a hand he’s been dealt in terms of a playing list.

Yeah I know he has a say in putting together the list but:

  1. that’d be mainly with regards to the defense

  2. Tanny and Woody are his bosses. There’s only so many times you can challenge your boss, and you never get to overrule them.

What Rex isn’t is a guy who shits on his team publicly, despite being aware (I’m sure) what a fucking train wreck it is.

Well at least Woody is coming away from this season happy. Check out the top 10 selling jerseys in the NFL ending November:

RG3, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Andrew Luck, Victor Cruz, Tim Tebow, Troy Polamalu, and Patrick Willis.

All a bunch of All-Pro superstars right? Oh fuck wait … [/quote]

Ryan has alot to do with what players are drafted and he holds alot of weight in personnel decisions, he is delusional, I remember him declaring to be super bowl contenders when the lockout occured, there was a ton of FA on his team, he didnt even know who was on his roster! While you dont have air your dirty laundry in the media, you dont have to play the fans and media for fools, his proclamations and opinions on players ring hollow especially when everyone knows thay are ridiculous, the great gem from this year, “I feel we have 3 winning quarterbacks” oh rlly?

He is buffoon and I have always thought this, there is a certain way to be true to his team and to the public. That being said I would still give him one more year as I am fair and look at the whole body of work.

Absolutely not. Depravity or no bet. Take a look at johnman’s avatar. That’s the kind of shit you can expect if the Niners win. I would expect nothing less from you.

Pretty much this. The rest of the “if he wasn’t hurt” talk from both sides is pointless. 9ers were the better team on Sunday and that is that.

In realted news, I think I’m done going to games… I can’t hang anymore and it is better watching on TV to be honest. That and I’m a jinx.

Yeah I imagine being at the Sunday Night game of the week is a pain in the ass with TV timeouts and time spent inbetween possessions, etc. Plus the weather that night was dogshit.

I haven’t been to an NFL game in four years now. I go to one or two college games per season to get the tailgate/party fix, but otherwise I go to high school games, usually good matchups between rival schools in the area.

There is a laundry list of reasons really. I can’t handle crowds like that without drinking, and drinking heavy… Then, how can expect the Pats to win when the D has 33 players on the field? :wink:

I can’t really follow the game from the stands either, I get too caught up in the emotion of the game. Add that to the fact my Step Father was shit house and getting super obnoxious when the 9ers were up, so I had to keep people around us from getting stupid…

It was just too long, too much baby sitting, too much booze, and to much anxiety between the crowds and the game itself… I’m just burnt out on being at games at this point.

I honestly can’t imagine the drunkedness of a crowd for a game that starts at 8:00pm. What time does Gillette open it’s gates for tailgaters?

I went to a USC game in LA this fall, kickoff was in the afternoon but damned if when we got there at 11:00 there wasn’t people already getting carried away. There’s a refinement to tailgating, I’m not sure which NFL team or University does it right, but getting shithoused 5 hours prior to kickoff can’t be a good thing.

We were grilling steaks and pounding james and 180 lemonchello by 5pm…

We were not the first people there, by a long shot.

My grandmother got season tickets to the 49ers back in 1979 when they drafted Montana. She’s a HUGE Notre Dame fan, loved Montana (she still wears a throwback Montana ND jersey to the games) and was convinced he was going to bring them to multiple titles and wanted to be onboard for the ride. I’m serious, she was that clairvoyant.

I’ve been splitting the tickets with her for about 12 years now, since my grandfather died. But next year is going to be the last year for us, as well as my parents, who have had season tickets since 1990.

I don’t know what it is, but the atmosphere at the games just isn’t what it used to be. At the Niners’ games half the crowd are a bunch of cholo gangbangers and these fuckers are fighting with other 49ers fans as much as they fight with the opposing team’s fans. It’s a booze-filled shit show at these games and as fun as they are at times, it gets fucking nasty at times.

Last year there were some fans who kept calling this black couple who were rooting for the Steelers a “bunch of niggers”. The Steelers fans texted security over and the racist pricks were ejected. Except that their buddies were sitting two rows behind the Steelers fans and got pissed that their friends were booted, so what does one of them do?

He literally walked up to the couple and punched BOTH of them right in the fucking face. The woman AND the man got decked. And I sit on the 49ers side of the field in the third row of the second deck on the 45-yard line. Those are expensive seats there and you’d think that in that area the crowd would be more civilized. Not so. I don’t even want to know what it’s like in the upper bowels of Candlestick.

It’s probably going to be a better atmosphere when they move to their new stadium, but I really don’t feel like paying 80K per ticket for the PSL just to sit in a comparable location to where I am now. Plus, I might not even be living in California in two years anyways. The last couple seasons I’ve been giving my ticket to my cousin and have just been traveling down for the big games. I gotta admit, I really enjoy just watching the games in the comfort of my own home these days.

I guess we’d have to see won’t we? We’ve beaten every team we’ve faced this year. How’d yall do? The Rams did a number on you guys… If the Rams can beat you, so can we.
You got lucky against the Pats.

They couldn’t even win with Favre. If they keep Ryan, they will continue to fail. Ryan is a joke. He needs to be a defensive coordinator somewhere.The Jets fans deserve a real coach.

Can you put your finger on a moment in time when the SF fanbase went gangster? Under which head coaching regime?

It’s interesting, SF and the bay area is a pretty diverse region. I’m sure there’s still the speed racin’ white trash of Hunter S’s Hells Angels up there, as well as the Cholos, gangbangers and the Silicon Valley types all co-existing in one region. San Diego might be similar, but overall the Charger fans that are gangster are kind of Cholo-light. You just don’t look hard when you’re wearing a powder blue Seau jersey even if you have Mary’s hands tattood on the top of your head.

Do you think the Cholo SF fans became SF fans because their adversaries are gang(s) that use Raider colors?

I understand that Fresno State has or at lease had a ganster problem within their fanbase too. Crazy.

Ohhhh shit this is getting fun.

Who, moving forward, should coach the Jets instead of RR? I’m curious to know y’alls thoughts on it.

My guess? Spitballing and hypothetically? Brian Kelly, especially if he wins the NC.
