WHO WANTS TO WATCH THESE TURKEYS ON THANKSGIVING???
It seems quite appropriate that Detroit and Dallas are headlining the Thanksgiving day games again this year, as they are two of the leading candidates to face either Houston or Cincinnati in the Blooper Bowl.
Isn't it ironic that just about all of the Rams' losses have come with Kurt Warner at quarterback? Bench him! What has he done for us lately???
The 49ers throwback uniforms look good, but they should put them in a big pile, pour on the gasoline and burn them! If I am recalling correctly, the very last game they wore those uniforms was in 1994. Yes, it was a 40-8 loss at home against the Eagles. Whose bright idea was it to take those uniforms out of mothballs, anyway.
Releasing Cortez and Baker was long overdue, but where are the 49ers going to find a punter whose any better at this point in the season?
The 49ers defense was carved through like swiss cheese on Monday night, and continues a disturbing trend. The 49ers defense has been regressing throughout the entire season. Injuries are part of the problem, but Mike Rumph is clearly not working out this year as the third cornerback and ideally should be learning from a seat on the bench. As scary as it sounds, the 49ers will probably need to address the defense yet again in next year's draft.
The 49ers do not look like a second round playoff team unless something drastic happens. With the possible exception of the Raiders (who were in the middle of a losing streak), the 49ers have not beaten a team of consequence this season. They have lost to Denver, San Diego, New Orleans, and Philadelphia, all probable playoff teams. They also still have to play Green Bay and St. Louis at home. It may be too early to give up, but it's hard to be optimistic.
The 49ers offense has been better since J.J Stokes exited the starting lineup, but the 49ers still need a better compliment to Owens. I find myself wishing the 49ers could have kept Jerry Rice.
This season has been a story of streaky teams. The Rams lose 5, and then win 5. The Jets look terrible for weeks, now they're looking like barn-burners. Thank goodness for the Bengals, the models of consistency!
I should take a minute to gloat over my four game lead. Leads don't seem to last long this season, but if I can get a few more no split weeks, I should be on course for an unprecidented four-peat. LOOK OUT BEN, YOUR UNCLE IS GUNNING FOR YOU!
