Crazy as it sounds. Positive thinking, laughter, etc do have a positive clinical impact.

I’ve been too busy to get sick. And I work in hospitals, sleep in hotels and fly about 180-200 times a year.

When I take vacation - I’ll get a cold.

Positive clinical impact doesn't mean NOT getting a cold or the flu.

You are probably just powering through it.

The Packer Ranter @PackerRanter

The narrative this week will be that this is a Packers revenge game.

That is correct.

Jerry Rice fumbled.

[Fosco33]

Look at the link PB. There is a connection to frequency of cold.

[George Cumby]

The SF fans are all ready packing their bags for Miami.

Brent Jones today said on KNBR that it was a "lock" the Niners are gonna' win and will have the game well in hand by the third quarter.

He also said the Niners are gonna' win 'going away'.

It has been this way all day and it's going to get worse as the week progresses.

Fitz and Brooks and Tom Tolbert, all of whom I genuinely enjoy, normally, spent half an hour polishing Joey Bosa's knob, especially his WWE moment against the Vikes.

The magic ends Sunday guys, it's all but over for the Pack, they shouldn't even fly out. Seriously, they should just concede the game.

[texaspackerbacker]

A few days ago, I was having a hard time seeing a pathway to victory against the Niners. No question, it's gonna be a tough task. IMO, what it's gonna take for the Packers to win is the O Line playing extremely much better than they played the last time against the Niners - and that means playing way over their heads. Aaron Jones is gonna get good yardage if he gets just a little bit of blocking - as happened until we got to 28 points against Seattle and abruptly stopped happening the rest of the game. Aaron Rodgers is used to getting a heavy pass rush - it's happened consistently for years. Getting boxed in, though, as the Niners succeeded in doing the last game, that can't happen again, or we will get our ass kicked again. If he gets just a little bit of protection, he will lead the Packers to victory. As I recall, Davante Adams was way less than 100% the last time. Based on last week, he now is right where he should be.

Our D needs to put a heavy pass rush on Garrofalo - NOT just fall back and rely on coverage, as our pass coverage just isn't as strong as it needs to be without that heavy pass rush.

This game is winnable, but it won't be easy.

[Joemailman]

I wonder if this play will still be in the playbook.

I imagine Linsley has a better game than Nov and Bulaga being out there will make a huge difference. I think we ride Jones unlike splitting w/ Williams and maybe it’ll open up a passing game.

Or just counter with very quick passes.... just keep AR from pressure.

Pound the rock. Line up 7 OL and Mercedes. If they stack up at all, run Tae down one sideline and MVS down the other and stress the D. Get a completion or PI, all the same.

How to stop SF offense


Commit resources to stop the run first

Commit resources to stop kittle next

Dare Jimmy G and their so/so wrs to beat you


Alexander and king gonna be on islands with single deep safety (savage)


Can Jimmy g and his receivers beat us? Gotta take away what they do best first and dare them to beat us with their weakness

[RashanGary]

How to score on SF

Run it down their throat and take shots on their so/so secondary

[Anti-Polar Bear]

White Polar Bear?

A polar bear ain’t a rodent, unlike weasel, raccoon and skunk.

[RashanGary]

Believe it or not, I actually think we match up well with these guys. Our two young corners and FS are fast as they come. Playing an immobile QB, we can man up outside with single safety high, and commit 8 man boxes to the run game and kittle.

Offensively, Bakh getting healthy and Bulaga finding his health and groove too, along with an interior line that's stayed healthy and built cohesion matches up well against their DL.

Aaron Jones and the veteran OL match up well against their small front 7.


I do think we can kick their ass

[MadScientist]

If I were SF, I'd put Sherman on Adams, bring a safety up to deal with Jones and force someone else to get the job done. Will anyone else step up?

If I'm MLF, I'd counter by moving Adams around, and trying to open things up with TE's, and maybe a deep shot or two off a rollout. Also don't travel on Saturday. The team looked lagged from the late trip. If he has to, hire a chaperone for each player to keep them out of the dispensaries for the weekend.

[MadtownPacker]

Not really worried about the defense versus Jimmy G. L
Kittle is the only worry on offense. The priority is sustaining drives and wearing their defense down. Ball control offense is what I expected to see versus SF last game. Niner pass rush was too intense for any plays that needed time to developing.

[JohnMexico]

Fuck them. Easily the cockiest bunch of fans online there is.

Really cant get get any worse than the last meeting. They dont have a good run d at all and their secondary outside of Sherman is kind of whatever but he IS their QB ( I dont imagine they will hang out on that side of the field too often ). Cant imagine a possible scenario where we win a pass heavy game.

Gonna be a lot of Jones in both run and pass game and some Irvin as well. But it will be a close game as long we dont turn the ball over early and they can then just run down our throat with a lead.

Agree. Their starting DTs weigh less than 300 lbs. Their starting ILBs are 235. That's a light fast group. Gotta rough them up. Shove them around, dominate the LOS.

Bosa is 265 and Ford 255. That's more small players. Just a fitness defense. Period.

Gonna want to play Mercedes just tee off and shove them back. Aggression. No pussy footing. Have to take it straight to them.

Worst thibg that can happen is make it a passing game. Don't want to let their small, finess defense play a fitness game.

[RashanGary]

Deebo Samuels?

I like king and Alexander on either of their guys

[RashanGary]

Our OL and TEs need to come out angry. Just come in with the attitude to dominate the smaller guys in front of them. Make them wrestle and fight for 60 minutes . Let our big vets wear them down

[RashanGary]

If we get ahead and muscle them around, they'll be warn down for a clutch 4th quarter passing the ball.

We need a turnover. We need to hold them to field goals. We need to run the ball well early . Do they and SF gonna be in for a fight that their small guys might not be up for

[Fritz]

That defense has speed. It's a good defense. Don't go getting all cocky now. They manhandled the Pack.

[RashanGary]

Might be nice to hammer those small ILBs with Jamaal Williams too. Let the OL slam their DL around and make Warner and Alexander take shots from our thug RB.

This is a game we just want to come in and make it about who's more physical up front

[RashanGary]

Not trying to be cocky, just make it a game of muscle, not speed

No No No! That is exactly the wrong way to go about it.

You rush the hell out of Garrofalo, you play two deep Safetys, and you hope against hope that our Corners can cover for just the short time Garrofalo has to throw. Cover Kittle with Tramon or Sullivan and hope they can cover him for that same short period of time.

Let's see now, that's 5 DBs plus Martinez plus 4 or 5 up front - Clark, the Smiths, and either Gary or Fackrell, with never more than one of the two Northwestern porkers in there except maybe on the 1 yard line. If we go with four up front including the 2 OLBs, that leaves either an extra DB for coverage or (I hope) an occasional Safety or Corner blitz.

[George Cumby]

IMO it's about unfucking the pressure that Rodgers was under last game.

GB unfucks that, and it's a different ball game.

[George Cumby]

One more thing that's percolating around.

Rodgers is going to play PISSED.

The Niners took Alex Smith.

The Bay Area media and fans are dismissing the Pack. Rodgers NorCal connections are, presumptively, passing this disrespect on to him.

Bakhtiari has already made mention of this.

Watch out SF, you are going to have a very focused Aaron Rodgers to play against.

Sacks created: guy who breaks through and causes QB to move, resulting in sack.

Here's the top 10 (well, 11) of sacks created for you!

Za'Darius Smith 20
Danielle Hunter 18
Cameron Jordan 17
Shaquil Barrett 17
Khalil Mack 16
Dante Fowler 14
T.J. Watt 14
Chandler Jones 12
Bud Dupree 12
Harold Landry 12
Matt Judon 12


His explanation: We have a stat called sacks created -- it credits a sack to the player with the first pass rush win on a sack rather than the player who finishes the play (can be same person).

You need them to rush and overcommit. But Bosa types are fast enough to both overcommit and recover.

Need to fool at least one guy very well to get two blockers to the LB or safety.

He makes catches with mfers all over him. No single defender has been able to bring him down. Sometimes it has taken three! Even then he didn’t go down easy. I say double cover his ass and let Garrapolo have to find the open guy. My feeling is that it will cause the needed TOs.

[RashanGary]

Kittle is a generational player. Best receiver or TE I've ever seen

[Fosco33]

This almost deserves its own thread. Long video - but very insightful.

Essentially - Pettine’s D is very easy to read (based on personnel group, position, down/distance) and confirmed w/ motion/checks.

If Smith’s don’t get after Jimmy or Petrine doesn’t do something different (delayed blitz, 0, etc) - we’re putting easy options for huge gains out there like we have most of the year (bend don’t break).

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3ipNyB5eAiM&feature=youtu.be

[Fritz]

Amateur that I am, I'd like to see Pettine blitz more. Send a corner or a safety or something, and when Jeanine Garrapolo looks to the area where the corner/safety blitzed from and throws there, the coverage has moved over to that spot and it's an interception or a sack.

Not all the time, but more than he does now. There are moments when you know the pass is coming, and if you don't think it's a screen or your confident in how your team plays the screen, blitz someone. Garrapolo isn't as mobile as Wilson so chances of a sack are better.

[RashanGary]

Nice find fosco.

Packers have a VERY young back 7. The exotic defenses are usually veteran bunches who can really handle a lot mentally

But... They're talented up front with Clark, Z and P. They're very fast in the back end.

They're good in their own way. And SF is gonna have a fight

[run pMc]

So...now that there's film with tendencies, Pettine's coverages can be determined pre-snap and beaten. If this youtube guy is right with his stats, Pettine will have to do a better job of disguising them or teams will burn the D.

[Smidgeon]

Interesting video for sure. Makes it easy enough even for me to understand.

So are these tendencies due to personnel limitations or due to Pettine's system? I remember high praise about Pettine being one of those "smartest defensive mind in the room" kind of guys. If that's true, there's a reason he's doing that. Perhaps not too many offenses who can take advantage of that? If so, I would assume he's got a different plan for the playoffs (hello corner blitz on a two point conversion).

Regardless, it is concerning. I'm very curious if the tendencies continue next year. But this week's game first.

[Freak Out]

Ya....I don't see him standing pat after what happened last time. He's going to come up with something good...it just has to be executed.

I remember in Pettine's first PC with Packers he said, "If the other team knows what defense you're in pre-snap, you're in trouble." So it would be surprising to me if predictability is their weakness. Unless of course, lack of quality personnel at certain positions limits his options.

[RashanGary]

They tend to play more zone on running downs and against rushing QBs. That's similar to an offense passing more on 3rd and 8. It's just situational football

[pbmax]

There is a point where you have to declare your defense by playing it.

Almost every offense used motion of some type to figure out zone versus man. QB always watches the safeties to see what happens post snap.

There is only so much you can do especially when facing a spread, 4 or 5 wide.

The funny thing is, this guys wants more man coverage, which is the easiest to read and find specific routes to defeat. But you have to have 3 CBs who can stay with it for 3 plus seconds. Not sure Packers young guys survive that long yet.

Mixing in zones is the logical alternative.

Lily Zhao @LilySZhao

Aaron Rodgers said he’d hope to see the #49ers again after their loss in Santa Clara.

Said he was calculating things in his head, that if the #Packers could make a run, they could meet San Fran again in their place.

Worked to perfection.

ITS ALL COMING TOGETHER!

[RashanGary]

Kittle minor ankle soreness
Ford still limited with his ailments
Kwon Alexander in second game back limited

From the 49ers game until now the Packers have given up 16 points per game. 49ers have given up 26

[RashanGary]

The 49ers consistently put up 20-30 points though. It's gonna be a huge test for our defense. That run game is dominant

[RashanGary]

Kenny Clark, Lancaster and Lowry gonna have their work cut out for them. Z and P gonna be in for a test too.

SF has run the ball well all year. Gotta stop that first to get to 3rd down

[RashanGary]

You expect to see a lot of 1 TE 2 RB looks

If we go big across the line with

Z Lowry Clark Lancaster P

Maybe you can still get away with one ILB and Tramon

Doing the math, even if you want to omit the Saints game, the Niners gave up 101 points in four games - about 25 per game. The Packers since the Niner game gave up 71 points in 5 games - about 14 per game, not 16 as somebody stated.

Mixing in zones is the logical alternative.

Earlier in the season, Pettine ran a lot of exotic stuff. Even some erotic stuff, too. But despite making some big plays out of those stuff, the D was also giving up too many big plays. Nowadays, Pettine usually run simplistic 4-men rush, Cover 1, Cover 2 and Cover 3. Nothing wrong with running simplistic 4-men rush when you can knock the QB's head off with only 4 rushers. Lovie Smith and Pete Carroll are masters of the 4-men rush shit.

Problem with the Packers is, Martinez sucks in coverage - can't cover anyone mano-a-mano and lack coverage awareness in zone.. Opponents have been exploiting the middle of the field where Martinez roams. Coaches are sometimes stupid. Pettine needs to sub out Martinez on obvious passing downs for another DB.

Speaking of stupid coaches, it's 3rd and 15 and coach instructs his QB to dump the rock off to the HB. Might as well put the punter in at "HB" and direct snap him the rock, max protect and have him punt the fucking rock.

[RashanGary]

The Packers are a young, top 10 defense in points allowed and theyve improved to a point they might be playing more like top 5 now.

The more veteran secondaries tend to do a better job of mastering several coverage concepts and being able to know the subtleties and checks of all of them, cohesively, as a unit, even when shifts and uncommon route combinations are run.

The Packers are very young with Alexander, King, Savage and Sullivan all playing extensively.

Some young guys can only do 1 or 2 things well. Our guys are mixing coverages fairly well and doing a handful of things well. And getting better.

They have a ways to go. I do expect them to be a top tier defense next year because they'll have experience and continuity to go with their speed and talent.

For now, they're just not on Tennessee's level. But they are in the next tier down with SF

[mraynrand]

How much time you spend out here?


Sounds like maybe too long.

As for the game, I am at peace. I think the Niners are simply better, especially in terms of the defensive line and the tight end position, and are the equal, at least, in terms of offensive line. SF is a strong, tough, fast team. I think it'll just be too much, again, for the Packers.

So I'm okay if they lose - unless, of course, it's a re-run of that damn 2014 NFC Championship game, and the Packers come in, play tougher than nails, and build a lead, only to peter out at the end. Then I'll be mad for what might have been, what could have been. But if SF just grinds them down, as I think they will, I won't be upset. It's been a hell of a season. I thought they'd go 6- 10, maybe 8 - 8 at best. So how pleasantly surprised have I been!

Spot on. I think the 9ers are a better team (as much as I absolutely hate to admit it...the fans here are insufferably bandwagoners). But if the Pack comes to play, puts on a dominating performance, then gives it up, I won't be okay anymore.

Yeah, you both are correct, 49ers are the better team. But unless the Packers win, and no matter how they do it, pretty or ugly, I am going to be very upset. The packers don't get any points for doing better than I expected, nor points for being underdogs for this game. I guess I look at it as somebody who probably won't live to see many more super bowl shots.

Their linebackers are better

Let us not forget our D was young and new. We just started playing championship football the last month or two! The numbers do lie when looking at the whole season. All that matters is NOW! And now we're peaking


Our QB is significantly better. Our OL is equal. We have far and away the best WR and RB.

[RashanGary]

Not only did we have a young defense with a ton of new pieces that just started clicking.

We have a brand spanking new offense that just started clicking too. The QB finally looks completely comfortable and the identity has finally solidified

AR, Davante, Aaron Jones and that veteran, healthy OL gonna come to muscle up and play fast, aggressive offense!!

SF has multiple RBs and WRs.

Bosa got some kind of rookie award, didn't he?
Jimmy G is 21-5..but he sucks?

GB has absolutely nothing to rival any of this. Nothing.
8 points vs this team. Vs a coach that is better storyline because he wants to make up for the Falcons/Pats SB comeback.

Good Post, but not totally accurate. As good as Clark and the Smiths are, their D Line probably is a little bit better, mainly because of the other two spots where we have weak links.

Also, I doubt our O Line is equal to theirs - not unless theirs also is in the bottom third quality-wise.

It's sort of redundant to say our LBs are better when you already included the Smiths with the D Line. Having Martinez, however, makes us equal or close.

Our DBs are better ..... better than what? better than last year? probably; better than the Niners secondary? doubtful. Ours can't cover adequately without an extreme pass rush. Theirs? Have they even been tested without an extreme pass rush?

Hell yeah, our QB is significantly better. We do have the single best WR and easily the best RB, and our second RB ain't bad either. However, Kittle is better than any TE we have by a big enough margin to cancel out Davante and Aaron Jones.

You're right about your conclusion, though. Even on their home field, we won't be near as bad as last time and likely, they won't be near as good.

The key to the game is our O Line at least not being horrible - again. If they give Aaron Jones even a little bit of room to run, and if they just don't let the pass rush be so extreme that Aaron Rodgers gets penned in like last time, then we will score a fair amount of points, and our D absolutely isn't gonna give them 37 again - provided Pettine learned his lesson about sagging back and not throwing a massive pass rush at them. If we see both Northwestern porkers on the field together more than a small handful of times, it's a very bad sign.

I celebrate this season as one of overachieving. Sunday is a bonus and I'm going to enjoy it. Maybe AROD has a great game and carries us further. But I'm not going to sugarcoat the matchups

The 49ers have a better DL and LB's and a better defense. I do think our secondary is a little better.

The 49ers have a better OL and a better receiving group when you take into account the WR's and TE's.

GB's QB is way way better. We have the best RB but they have a good group. Statistically San Fran is the better offense.

That doesn't mean we can't pull a game , or two, out of our asses though. We've overachieved and kudos fo the coaching staff for getting us this far.

Why not two more ??

[QBME]

Smith Brothers get up in pretty boy Jimmy's grill all day.
O'Line is respectable.
A Rod has truly proven he has retracted his cranium from his rectum.
We've got a chance.

[Patler]

I don't know, I have a very simplistic way of looking at teams after the season is done. All have played good teams and bad. All have dealt with injuries, some more than others. Many criticize GB for the "quality" of their wins, arguing they are a "bad" 13-3 team. Hogwash. Playoff games tend to be close. In a close game, I like a team that knows how to win in the last half of the 4th quarter more than a team that has coasted to many of their wins.

As for defenses, yards don't matter, QB rating doesn't matter.
The "great" 49er defense gave up 310 points during the season.
The "suspect, inconsistent" Packer defense gave up 313.

I am more concerned about the effectiveness of the Packer offense than I am about the stinginess of the 49er defense. I have hope because the offense, especially Rodgers and Graham, have seemed to find a bit of renewed life in recent weeks; Jones has held up for the season and Adams seems to have recovered enough to be himself.

Should be a good game. I won't be surprised if GB wins. I won't be surprised if GB losses.

If Sherman is really that good, and he stays on one side, then you line up the sloth across form him and play 10 on 10. If he follows Adams, then you run him all over the field with motion and pick the hell out of him. Wear him out and beat him up.

[bobblehead]

Our OL and TEs need to come out angry. Just come in with the attitude to dominate the smaller guys in front of them. Make them wrestle and fight for 60 minutes . Let our big vets wear them down

That’s actually a good plan, although I’d rather put Kum or MVS there, with Sloth on the bench. Sherman is still good, but he’s now a Pistol Force corner, not the shutdown corner he was in his LOB days.

You forgot about DeForest Buckner. Fred Warner is considered one of the top ILBs. Alexander isn't bad.
Basically SF has the top rated pass defense. Sherman is still good and they can pressure with just their front 4. They have a high ranked run offense, and they have two good WR (Sanders & Samuel) and Kittle. And they are playing at home. They are rightfully the favorites in this game.

I'm with patler -- "I won't be surprised if GB wins. I won't be surprised if GB losses." If Rodgers and the defense bring their A games and keep it close they can pull an upset. I think their chances are low, however.

Also -- I agree with the "bad" 13-3 narrative being hogwash. It's lazy and untrue. This team has certainly exceeded expectations, and had some very good luck.
You can say a lot things about them but you can't say they are bad.

[MadtownPacker]

Fuck Sherman. I hope the homeboy Davante puts his sweet moves on and leaves him with broken ankles.

[RashanGary]

I'm fired up for this one. I watched SFs first 10 games before my boycott. I think they lost 3 of the last 7 or something like that.

Good OL. Good pass defense. I think they can be run on and I think their secondary can be worked a little.

Stop the run on a couple first and second downs and Jimmy G can he had too. They don't have an offense or defense that can impose it's will. To me, they're a bit of a fraud.

Kittle is their only true great player

And honestly, zadarius and Preston and Clark are better pass rushers than their guys.

This whole thing is getting blown way out of proportion how great they are.

Our young defense took the season to really get consistent and so did the first year offense. The Packers are way better than their cumulative season stats suggest because they've trended up the whole way.

And here we sit, healthy and peaking. A very special set of circumstances all fell into place with those lucky early wins, the health and where the bye weeks fell. Its been just perfect

[RashanGary]

And nobody looks phased. Lafleur and Rodgers don't even look like they're tired. Both guys are just calm, no bags under their eyes, focused, energized.

Ah, I see.

[pbmax]

This is for red and anyone else who wants Rodgers to take some more chances and fewer sacks.

Football Perspective @fbgchase
Only a handful of offenses - Tampa Bay, of course, but also the Steelers, Rams, Browns, and Chargers - were more harmed by interceptions than sacks. Most offenses were set back because they took too many sacks relative to INTs - in particular, GB, SEA, JAC, TEN, WAS, NYG, PHI.

Expected points are the points you would expect for all teams given their field position. You can calculate expected points added by taking a play and subtracting the previous spot for the ADDED value.

The bonus is that the INT is a risk of throwing before a sack, but not the only possible outcome. If you traded INTs for sacks directly, you wouldn't improve much, if at all. I do not know the direct EPA for each event.

There is the chance of completing the ball on some additional, riskier throws. Depending on the rate of success, you lose less EPA with fewer sacks, gain some EPA with some completions minus the increase in INT.

For any single team, this is obviously dependent on talent and execution to work. You have to complete more throws to get the edge.

Rodgers gonna sell out his body and have a vintage performance today.

Defense gonna stop the run in enough spurts to force a couple of punts.

Alexander, King, Savage, Amos, Martinez, Tramon AND the role players (Campbell, Goodson and Sullivan) have all played together healthy for the last 8 weeks. They've developed cohesion and will be ready to bracket Kittle AND take the right chances at the right times when the help is there.

Our OL is healthy. The tape shows the 49ers defense getting beat to the tune of 27 ppg the last 5 weeks and losing 3 games in the last half of the season. The blueprint to beat the 9ers has been drawn up and we have the horses up front to slow their greatest strength.

Didn't see 49ers/Vikings game. But guys on PFT were saying Garoppolo, who had 1 INT, was lucky he didn't have maybe 3 more. Get pressure on him and he might cough it up. Team that does the better job of protecting their QB will have the advantage today.

For sure. Vikings looked warn out. Same as when they played us. They have a BAD run defense and ours has locked down and become a good one as the year went on and cohesion developed.

Jimmy G has a quick triggger. He's not gonna change 17 games of identity in 8 days since Minnesota. Turnovers are very possible and the 49ers just grinding our big, healthy 5 man front down like that tired, undersized viking 4 man front, I don't see it.

Packers about to make some noise

[pbmax]

Not a bad thought. Vehldeerintheheadlights has been good, but save him for the backup. Sternberger has been blocking very well and could sneak out for a pass or too. Maybe even “set a pick” on a crossing route for Da’van’tee. Or fake it and go deep for the surprise of the game. Lot of options with that guy. Suspect Flower Power has been setting this up for weeks.

My new, Kool Aid induced theory, is that they tanked the first game on purpose after the fumble and score.

On a board with people who attended or watched the Ice Bowl, being labeled senior seems like actionable libel.

[pbmax]

Absent a Packer incentive (playoff seeding, division standing) I might possibly root for the Vikings in a few scenarios.

Versus Cowboys, Steelers, Broncos, 49ers. Maybe the Bears under the right circumstances (roller dome comments).

Somewhere in this world, is a clip from Chicago news, of Ditka in roller skates putting the knife in a little deeper.

Identity

[Packers4Glory]

I have a hard time imagining this team playing 4 qt of good football on offense needed to win. Haven’t done it all year and on the road

With a team that runs the ball like SF it will be tough to stop that & get a pass rush. Only chance is if we get multiple TO’s & have none. Aaron can’t be great for a few plays. He has to be great the whole game.

Btw, I currently drive a Corolla. Can't afford a brand new Prius making the Federal minimum-wage. Doesn't matter anymore. Hip surgery is gonna bankrupt me. Thanks, capitalism.

It’s how slow and smug Prius drivers are. It’s better to drive and old car to the dust than a new hybrid. Until electricity comes from green sources - electric vehicles are marginally better.

The f150 would just roll over the Prius. :-)

I test drove a new Prius once. Loved it. Not surprisingly, the salesman stopped trying to sell me the car after I told him about society forcing me to flip burgers for the minimum-wage.

He didn't try setting you up with a payment plan that in the end would have cost you 4 hip surgeries? That's just wrong...smart but wrong.

I think i will only need arthroscopic hip surgery to fix an enlarged bone in the hip. But unfortunately for me, my capitalist-backed insurance sucks, despite myself paying $60/mth for the shit.

Like a Lannister, I always pay my debts. I hate debts. Only use debit cards, b/c i hate debts.

Problem was, my idiot brother had been using my personal info to open credit card accounts in my name. He had no intention of paying back the credits. Flat out denied the fraud even after a cop showed him vid of him at an ATM withdrawing cash with a fraudulent card.

Got my credit rating fucked up. Dealership wasn't too enthusiastic after seeing the history. Was too busy (and a bit lazy) working 2 fucking jobs to deal with it.

You’d have to think so for going to the trouble of putting him on the roster. However, they might simply have run out of the exemption time too.

33-21 Niners , is my initial guess


Wait, you have to guess? I thought you knew? Or does the NFL only reveal the winner to those intelligent enough to see, but not the score?

I picked 37-24 in a contest at 3 am. 4 points off. They don't announce winner till tomorrow

Hank Stram, matriculating down the field boys!

Former coach of Kansas City. Was a fun guy to listen to on the radio with Jack Buck for Monday Night football after he retired. Was dapper for a coach of the time. He'd talk your ear off too.

[scharpcheddar]

Not old enough to have seen him coach but immediately knew who he was from NFL Films and other sports docs. I always dig the way they dressed. It is a good look and they should be similar now instead of damn near pajamas.

Partial you suck hard dude. SB 1 coach. Punch yourself in the marbles on my behalf. :lol:
