Fuck. I have never been more disappointed with a win. I want to ring Hostler's (49ers Offensive coordinator) neck. I hate his play calling. "Hey they are lining up in nine man fronts and crashing down!" "Ok, another run up the middle it is!!" FUCK! Hasn't this guy heard of play action.
Someone also needs to have a little chat with Smith... It seems like he is hesitating with the ball. I know we don't have the best receivers, but you gotta trust them to make a catch.
On the other hand... LOVE our defense! Two weeks in a row they held pretty high powered offenses to low points. Bend but don't break, I can live with.
I think I am going to write a love poem about our linebackers.
Well see how we do next week against the Steelers.
Around the league:
The Losers
The Saints: WTF? I've only seen highlights of the games, but they need to quit trying to make Reggie Bush the focus of the offense. He is not there yet. Deuce McCallister is your starting running back. Use him. The good news, I think that the Saints were the last team to start 0-4 and make the playoffs.
The Chargers: The good news is that you already played the two of the best defenses in the league and came away 1-1. The bad news is you've got Snore Turner as your head coach. He is a great offensive mind and an excellent QB mentor, but he is not a great team motivator. I think you are going to sorely miss the "Gleam". P.S. Get a receiver.
The Bangals: WOW. Is your D really that bad? I was watching my games and I thought the the guy that puts in the scores was making a funny joke. 51?? The fact that you were still in it up to the last minute doesn't mean shit either because the Browns D is arguably just as bad as yours. If that was any other team you would have lost by 40.
The Giants: So who is your new coach gonna be next year? We have a great assistant head coach over hear named Mike Singletary. Give him a call.
The Raiders: MARKED improvement over last year. I think that, If they can go into Mile High and get a win, which the almost did (Game of Inches) that they could finish up the season with 6 to 7 wins. They are playing great D and good O. They have come back from 17 and 14 down respectively in both their games this season, and with Cleveland and Miami their next two games they could come out of September 2-2 and with a lot of confidence.
The Titans: You have something really special with Vince Young. Keep building around him. Oh and get LenDale White on a fucking treadmill.
The Falcons: I think Joey Harrington is a mutant and his power is to attract sacks. Man, he just can't catch a break.
Well this is all going to lead up two one of two things. If Micheal Vick gets his off the field BS miraculously taken care of an can somehow be out before the next season starts and the NFL will allow it, he will have his job back OR with the number 1 pick in the draft the Falcon will take Brian Brohm from Louisville.
The Jets When Jets fans actually cheered when you drafted D'Brickshaw and Mangold I thought that there might be a glimmer of intelligence in that fan base, but then you cheered Pennington getting hurt last week. You do realize that you are 8-20 without Pennington starting right? Oh wait, the Ravens must have video taped your hand signals.
The Winners
The Packers: Looks like Brett is going to get another shot at the Playoffs. I know everyone is still on the Bears bandwagon, but with the Pack's D playing excellent and Brett having the weapons he does, I think that they are going to win the NFC North.
The Broncos: You can kiss the AFC West goodbye. You let two mediocre teams, at best, beat you. Yes, you won the games, but they beat you. If I was the next AFC West team to play the Broncos, I call up a kid from the practice squad and turn him into a human missile aimed right at Elam's knee.
The Browns: Well, you have a QB for at least a week and you know that Jamal Lewis can still play. You know that you have weapons in Edwards and Winslow. Unfortunately you know that your defense sucks, however you also know that not everyone has the Bengals offense. Now, can you put that all together and save Romeo's job?
The Patriots: Stop video taping signals. It makes Randy Moss run right through zone coverages and makes the defensive players do nothing about it!! It also makes your Defense destroy a high powered Offense like the Chargers... even though they, don't... use... hand... signals...
The Bucs: This is what Jeff Garcia should have been doing for the last 5 years for a team. It's too bad the NFL has a fascination with linebacker sized QBs and lets guys like Jeff get relegated to back up status. If he was 6-3 and 220, the Niners would have never let him go. If you guys can keep the Cadillac on the road you can certainly win the NFC South with they way the Saints are playing.
The Texans: 'Bout fucking time.
