Michael Crabtree reportedly tore his Achilles tendon during Tuesday’s OTAs
Well, this certainly doesn’t help matters at all, but I think they can definitely weather the storm until he returns. And I expect him to return, probably early December when shit really starts to pick up. I don’t really consider Boldin a legitimate #1 receiver, but I think with him, Manningham, Kyle Williams, Quinton Patton and AJ Jenkins they will have enough firepower for Kaepernick to take advantage of. Vernon Davis is going to have to step up his game, and they really need some significant contributions from their 2nd round pick, TE Vance McDonald.
But they have the talent to overcome something like this. Plenty of teams have shown over the years that you just need to get into the playoffs to have a chance at the Super Bowl. Homefield advantage is overrated, especially for a team like the Niners, who have beaten more good teams on the road the last two years than anyone else in the NFL.[/quote]
Yeah, but the next SB will be in cold weather so the Niners are screwed even if they get there.[/quote]
49ers are more of a running team, so cold weather shouldn’t affect them as much. Hopefully.
I’m excited to see what the Honey Badger does. He is kind of a dip shit and all, but apparently he looks up to Patrick Peterson so there is potential there, and he is an exciting player for sure.
I got into watching football because of players like him. NFL Films Presents on saturday afternoons the shit. You never knew when it was on so when you caught one it was a big deal, especially when they interviewed the Deacon, what a character. I had to compete with siblings for the TV so I’d throw a fit to get my way lol.

Ummm… I’m sorry but this is the NFL thread, and they didn’t keep sack stats until after he’d been playing, so you can’t make any statements about him, in good fun or not, without a litany of statistical evidence to back up your claims. Else, after like 4 years of this thread some dude who has never posted will come along and call you a fanboy for it.

I hear you Beans, stats or no stats, If I like the player I like the player. I don’t know the game well enough to break it down to the minutia anyway although I enjoy reading the stuff.
This is a pretty good article about Bill Walsh. Apparently ESPN did some voting thing or whatever and decided that Walsh was the second-greatest coach in NFL history, behind Vince Lombardi.
Obviously, I’m biased as hell toward Walsh and think that he was the greatest coach of all-time, but even trying to look at it objectively, I don’t think Lombardi was the coach that Walsh was. Literally nothing that Lombardi innovated in terms of how the game is played, which wasn’t much anyways, is still prevalent today. The one big innovation he came up with, the power sweep, is completely extinct today. Oddly enough, Walsh used that particular play quite a lot, but by that time it was already a relic.
Walsh’s innovations are still prevalent today, and in many cases are the norm. The concepts of the West Coast offense were unheard of when Walsh implemented them and now are commonplace in some way, shape or form. I know that Lombardi gets points for being a leader of men and all that ethereal bullshit, but Walsh could lay claim to the same. I think it takes a great leader to come in and install very, very revolutionary ideas. Walsh was also a keen evaluator of talent, perhaps more so than even Lombardi, who certainly did stack his teams with great players. But Walsh evaluated and drafted arguably the two greatest football players of all-time in Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. Montana was a steal in the 3rd round and Rice was considered a reach in the middle of the 1st round, although Walsh traded two picks to move up to the 16th spot to grab him ahead of Dallas, the only other team rumored to have been interested in Rice in the 1st round.
So what do you guys think? Is Walsh the greatest coach of all-time, or was it Lombardi? Or someone else entirely?
I thought this was pretty funny. I love how Harbaugh and Carroll hate each other’s guts and have basically escalated what is already a great rivalry on the football field with their off-field antics. Gotta love a coach who isn’t above rubbing things in a little bit the way Harbaugh did by basically calling the Seagulls cheaters and their players not honest enough to deserve taking their word for anything they say.

Week 2 can’t come soon enough![/quote]
haha, I love it. Def turning into a heated rivalry.
Belichick’s first presser after signing Tebow is fucking hilarious.
You know that he’s generally pretty salty and gives the media little - but the utter scorn on his face as he deals with a barrage of Tebowmania and the inane 3 lines he keeps repeating to every single question … I was literally LOLing all the way through.

Don’t miss this one fellas.

haha I saw it was awesome. Some reporter towards the end asked about Tebowing and Bill was just like, OK I think we’ve talked enough about Tebow.
