I did not get a chance to watch the game until yesterday, but that hit by Mathews and the firestorm it set off was pretty insane. It looked like an all-out brawl. Football is not a civilized sport. It is a game based on tribal warfare and Mathews clearly had it in his head that if...

I think any of the last 4 NFC teams standing could have been making the trip to New Orleans and I expect to see at least 3 of them standing in the division championships next year. The first quarter looked pretty grim, but both the defense and the offense showed real poise to win a tough game...

We had a great time hanging out with some GB fans that had flown all the way from Canada for the game. Unlike the Falcons' fans, you guys are a class act and I hope everyone who was at Candlestick last Sunday had a good experience. I expect to see you guys, along with Seattle and the...

Well, it has been nice chatting with all you cheese heads. I'm waiting on the train to arrive and take me to the game. Good luck to all of you and may the better team win! :D

If I lived downtown, I would probably walk the five blocks to third street and take the T-train home, because I am cheap (it is only $2), and because it is probably just as fast if not faster than paying $12 for the special bus and waiting at the park for 10-30 minutes to crowd onto it.

13 San Francisco Players listed as probable. So there you have it. That is the final word until gametime.

If our backups were so good compared to the starters, then our defensive starters would not be on the field for the entire 4 quarters. The fact is, our backups are. . . backups. They might be able to start on a lot of teams, but our starters are so good that they play better after three...

Everyone in the NFL is pretty good, but Green Bay only has a single player on its defense who made the pro bowl this year. The difference between most of the players that start on the 49ers defense and their backups is much more significant than the difference between most of the starters and...

Nothing wrong with being an offensively oriented team with a great QB. Most of the Superbowl winners in recent years have been. Both Smith's and Goldson are injured, they are both pro bowlers, and there is nobody in the team (and few in the NFL really) that can fill their shoes. The fact...

It is not the quantity that really matters, but how essential they are to the type of game the team plays. For instance, Kyle Williams being out would not be a big deal in itself, but with Mario Manningham also out, that leaves only two full time WRs in the game, Crabtree and Moss. I am...

A lot of us think that the management is doing their best to make the parking/public transit situation as miserable as possible in order to make the new stadium look like a Godsend and get people to pay ridiculous sums of money for seat licenses. Parking is a mess, so you would think they...

San Francisco is actually missing a lot of starters: Out for the Post Season Kendell Hunter (second running back) Mario Manningham (Wide Receiver) Kyle Williams (Punt Returner/WR) Seriously Injured (Non contact/not cleared) Justin Smith (DT) seriously injured arm but expected to start...

It can take a while to get on the bus back to BART, but then again, once you get on, that bus leaves and proceeds directly to the bus station and usually gets you there in 30 minutes or less. On the other hand, sometimes it takes 45 minutes - 1 hour to get out of the parking lot if you are...

I don't think it is for the city so much as some of the suburbs, which are expected to get as low as 29 degrees overnight. If you combine that with the offshore storms which have a possibility of moving inland and there is a slight possibility of snow in some of the suburban areas. It happened...

Ginn was a fantastic punt returner when he had good special teams blockers up the field. Other than that, he has kind of been disappointing, and he has muffed a couple of punt returns Williams NFC style lately. He wants to be a wide receiver, but he has not put up very impressive numbers in...
