And let's commence the 49er internal sniping season.

Strong words RT @JedYork: Thank you #49ersfaithful for coming out strong tonight. This performance wasn't acceptable. I apologize for that

That's @JedYork, the owner of the team.

I wonder if Cutler just doesn't give a damn? That is the feeling I get from watching his demeanor.

Agreed.

It seems the league has just beaten the competitive fire out of the boy.

I saw him play for Vandy and the first years at Denver. He used to light up like a Christmas tree on game day. Now, he's all hit out, things go bad and he mopes around in a shell.

He's Jeff George II.

A tin man with a golden arm.

If I was a Bears fan I'd be very pissed that Jay Cutler is the answer for Franchise QB.

Gore ! You've been Romanized.

Maybe they should up the penalty. Didn't the league tell the refs to watch for it more this year because of all of the complaints by teams that faced the Seachickens last year?

The Hawks got called a few times. But remember that they ARE otherwise a good defense. The way it worked out in the SF game was: Seattle shut down SF on better than 50% of their plays. Every time the 49ers actually had a chance for a big play, they got 5 yards instead. Hard to function under those parameters.

I am not saying the Seahawks aren't good, because they obviously are. Mathematically, cheating gives them the best chance to succeed, and they would be stupid to do anything differently. Considering that, the rules need to be changed to make HOLDFORGOLD less viable. Bumping the holding penalty, or adding 5 yards from the spot on PI, would be the obvious suggestions.

Watching Carroll complain about the penalties when it's part of his entire defensive strategy was nauseating. And Rickle Sherman getting in the ref's face after being called on an obvious penalty should have drawn an unsportsmanlike conduct flag. It should be considered for a fine.

That entire bunch really gets on my nerves. Even Wilson is wearing thin.

I know the play you are talking about, and I remember on the replay it didn't look that bad, although the announcers piled on. I paid attention to Sherman as much as I could last night, and honestly, I thought he played a spectacular, and mostly very clean game. The couple of times he got handsy I thought more "how the hell else are you supposed to play the position".

re: 5 yard holding penalty
I wonder how the ref decides when it's a hold, and when it's PI and 'spot of the foul'.

Ball in the air - PI.

That simple, eh? Thanks.

Thought you played college football?

I only shut down Darren Charles in a high school football game, but I knew that.

I'm with Woodbuck. This game coming up against the Patriots is huge. The dangerous teams are coming out of the woodwork. If we want to be champs, home field is very important.

Running in the sub 4.8's after getting back in shape. Who needs a shitty safety??!
