And now maybe everyone will understand why no one fears the Falcons in the NFC.

or someone else from the lovie coaching tree

lets see, there's marinelli
or maybe tice?

Tice is part of the Lovie coaching tree now? Why not, eh? Better than being from the Dennis Green tree I guess!

Let's not start blowing Kaepernick after an ok performance against the Pats D.

49ers play at Seattle next week. That will not be easy for them, to say the least.

What a goal line stand by SF on a 1st and goal inside the 5! 4th down coming up. NE down by 21, have to go for the TD here.

Remember the Rams!

[Guiness]

That's not pass interference. Crabtree never went back for the ball.

And no Chris, the DB does not need to turn around. Stop quoting face guarding.

Indeed.

Misconceptions

Considering face guarding is not a penalty, a defender does not have to be "looking for the ball" when breaking up a pass for the receiver. Instead, he just needs to make sure he makes no physical contact at all with the receiver before the ball arrives.

Right. The NE secondary is very easy to confuse. They look slow. The game is too fast for Talib. He doesn't have the wherewithal to turn back for the ball. Inside, they don't have any of those instinctive type players who make throwing over the middle so dangerous.

With Wood and Hayward playing inside, we'll confuse the shit out of Kapernick. They'll move the ball, run the ball and pass the ball. But we'll get turnovers. Kapernick likes to go deep and those are the throws Shields picks off regularly.

I don't see him putting up those types of numbers.

[Guiness]

This is a game yet - NE pulls within one score!

[RashanGary]

SF needs to just run kapernick a couple times. It's at that point, where you take some risks to win a game.

[Bossman641]

Come on NE. Get us the #2 seed.

[RashanGary]

Smith out is destroying SF. Would be nice if he's out in the playoffs.

[RashanGary]

Well, SF is getting 5.5 points. I guess the ideal scenario for me is NE to win by a FG.

[pbmax]

Is it Smith out that is making the difference? Because all of a sudden Brady has all day to wait for the fifth option to come open.
