Thread: San Francisco 49ers Week: That's The Focus

  1. #21
    First injury report of week:

    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Not bad. No setback for Lacy or Cobb. Datone Jones has all his marbles.

I just reminded them a couple years back to revisit this debate in five years to see who sustained and who flopped. Took them two years to implode and the Packers are still strong.

    I love being a Packers fan.
    We have heard it time and time again.

    "The (Fill in the blank) get it, TT does not."
    "The Packers need to be more like (Fill in the blank) ."

    In recent memory, you could fill the blanks with: Eagles, Falcons, Saints, 49ers, Seahawks and maybe Eagles again. Even the Lions and Bears seemed about to get there. In truth, many teams have found ways to be relevant a few years, but most crash hard and burn after only a few years. The Packers, Patriots and Steelers, maybe a couple more, have found ways that work for them to be relevant year after year after year.

    I.m not sure yet which group the Seahawks will be in.

    A run first team that had GREAT success traded an all pro center and a 1st for a TE that can't run block. I have made my mind up...even more so after watching Raji dominate their new center.

    The Packers have signed TE Blake Annen to the practice squad and moved LB James Vaughters to the practice squad injured list.
    I had no idea there was a practice squad injured list.

    The TE isn't giving them as much as they wanted either: 14 catches for 145 yards and 2 TDs so far

    The league is just trying to keep up with the Packers.

    Ya, I was thinking that too, and Wilson is looking like a good QB, but not really a QB who will carry the team to victories game after game.

    He's got a heavy, heavy offense to carry. But the defense is still good enough to throttle most teams, especially with Chancellor back.

    Packer Report ‏@PackerReport 1h1 hour ago
    One thing I forgot to put in the Guion story: Opponents averaging 0.75 yards less per carry with Pennel on field than when on sideline.

    Packers are favored by 9.
    Nine????

    9 is too much but this team ain't anything like those teams that beat us in the past.

    So if you could make one player out of them, he'd be Jake Anis.

    We had an opportunity for tickets, a season holder selling them, but he jacked up the price considerably because I was a Green Bay fan, and I don't exactly fancy getting beat up for liking a sports team other than the local one. Niners fans are now worse than Raider fans.

    The other option would be to dress in red and cheer quietly for Green Bay in my head, but that would be a betrayal. So we passed on the tickets, and he sold them to Niner fans.
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    MM said a biceps injury is what caused James Vaughters to become first Packer to land on practice-squad injured since Diondre Borel in 2012

    Yeah, I wanted to take my son, but the thought of getting murdered in front of my 8 year old turned me off.
