Shit. 49ers have narrowed coaching candidates to Chip Kelly and Mike Shannahan. I think I may need to botcott my team until Jed York steps down as CEO. They really couldn't find any better candidates than those 2?

So it came down to them wanting Coughlin who while he wanted the job didn't want to ask his 70 year old wife to move cross country. They never even bothered calling Holmgren back to see what he had to say. My guess is after Holmgren's experience as a executive Baalke felt threatened by him.

What do you guys think about the Pats vs Chiefs matchup on Saturday?

Hoping for a Chiefs win but I think their streak ends and Pats end up in another AFC championship game

I think it's gonna be a great game and I think its about 50/50 on who wins. I just hope our offensive line can hold up against the chiefs D. Gronk's been out of practice 2 of the last 3 days. Chandler Jones gets high on synthetic marijuana and shows up at a police station. I just hope this team is focused come gameday. If the pats don't show up against this team they can get beat even in Foxboro.

ani - I think chip might just be able to "coach up" Kap.

or not....

Just saw the "touchdown" catch by Bryant. the ball kept moving until he got out of the endzone. It shouldn't have counted

if he didn't do that flip, he wouldn't have been able to maintain control because his legs would have kept going. he transferred his energy into a flip. frickin brilliant

After the bobble though he only gets one foot down. Do you have to reestablish 2 feet after a bobble?

No.
A fancy going-out-of-bounds somersault with a ball leg-press erases a one-footed bobble. Rule #276, Rule Book Page 313.

Okay so I'm re watching the 4th quarter of the Pittsburgh/Cincinnati game. Why was the backup Jones out there and Big Ben stayed on the sidelines with a minute and a half left and Jones throws the pick. Next play Cincinnati fumbles with 1:23 left and then Roethlisberger comes out.

If the Bengals don't fumble its game over and Roethlisberger watches from sidelines. Anyone know why?

Porter and Munchak should both be suspended for the next game. This sets a bad precedent but their leader is a guy that got in the way of a kick returner on the field one time.

So you tthink he hair "grab" was intended?

Yes. Don't put yourself in that situation

Here's a thought. Tie up waist length dreadlocks. Unless all players on every team wears visors , its an unnecessary hazard.

As for the penalty, a shove/arm grab was deserving of a flag for sure. Hair was incidental

incidental my coo noo.

The bengal player was obviously clearing and moving on when the asshole coach grabbed and pulled his hair like a dick.

A poor Vikes fan thinking the kick was good ...

This perspective is so awesome, it's not even funny. ...everybody coming to the realization that the kicker actually missed it.

the lady at 0:14 saying "you're kidding"

and the horse guy in the background at 1:37.... "are you f#*%ing serious?"

Thanks for this

You can see the lines as early as Sunday night. They've been out for days.

Everyone thinks Kap will be good in his system but I don't think so. Kelly requires quick decisions and accurate throws. Those are the 2 things Kap is really horrible at. I feel dirty for saying this but I would rather they go into next season with Gabbert as the starter.

TAKE THAT BACK!

They need to draft a QB and go with that.

Amongst the Ani

I expect them to draft a QB but the only one worth a top 10 pick is Goff who everyone has Cleveland taking at 2. 49ers horde draft picks so Baalke can fuck up more of them so no way they trade up to get him. Paxton is worth a 1st round pick but not worth top 10. So if anything they end up with someone like Hackenburg in the second round. This is where I hate Kelly. I have no fucking idea who he would even want as his QB from the draft.

like it was a dick?

Amongst the Ani

Question, did he pull it like he pulls his own dick or was it pulled like someone elses?

F Me In The Brain

If a dick pulls a dick does anyone notice?
