Sunday night, the world will see if the 49ers are for real.....very easy to get over confident....

SF 35
Detroit 31

The most anticipated moment of this game will occur after it's over when Harbaugh & Schwartz meet in the middle post game. Last year it almost resulted in a brawl.

                                                                                                      Go Dawgs!!!

Bunk! That's all theatrical hype (fun as it can really be )...The most anticipated moment of this game is WHO will deliver that first statement tackle, block, run, catch, touchdown, forced and/or recovered fumble, interception, runback, Genius play called, incredibly importune penalty call on themselves.......then it is the remainder of the 60 minutes of, hopefully, full bore no holds barred unless illegality is flagged, no need for reviews, no time for agruing or celebrating, grind it out until the bitter or sweet end FOOTBALL!

I Love football! Go 49ers!  49ers 25, Lions 19 (improbable scores)

Rock On & Keep the Faith,
Rocket

Ok, it's that time ag

Any excuse, eh Tom?

Minnesota at Indianapolis - 'All day' is back and running...
Oakland at Miami - An ugly tragi-comedy in the making?
Chicago at Green Bay - Hard to imagine GB losing two at home.
Kansas City at Buffalo - Grab a bottle, Tom.
Cleveland at Cincinnati - Toss up, I'll go for the home team.
New Orleans at Carolina - Can't imagine Saints losing their first two either.
Houston at Jacksonville - No idea, on a coin toss.
Arizona at New England - Lock of the week! No brainer.
Tampa Bay at NY Giants - Giants to bounce back.
Baltimore at Philadelphia - Go Ravens!
Washington at St. Louis - RGIII to continue to shine!
Dallas at Seattle - Could be very close.
NY Jets at Pittsburgh - Jets meet a real defense.
Tennessee at San Diego - Tough call, home team on a coin toss.
Detroit at San Francisco - Last year this was a fun one, I'll go with Niners.
Denver at Atlanta - I'll go with PM till he loses.

Well Tom, did you have to grab the bottle?

Seven for me this weekend...to be fair, lots of pundits with more NFL smarts than the likes of us also got caught out. I think the biggest shocks (in order of shockingness) were NE, NO, DAL, BAL and WAS.

RG3 was great again, passing for one, and running for two TDs! The Redskin defense, one moment of stupidity by Josh Morgan, and some truly awful refereeing led to this entirely unnecessary defeat.

I watched two whole games, Ravens and Skins...the common thread was execrable refereeing. I suspect that some very unhappy owners who feel hardly done by may start leaning on the NFL to settle and get the 'proper' refs back pronto. These guys couldn't even agree where to spot the ball at times!

George - it musta been that 750 ml bottle of Rodenbach Grand Cru! It lasted into the third quarter at which point the Bills stopped putting up points and the Chiefs began their comeback. I do have another 10 bottles so I may need to ration them for game days.
The league seems to be topsy turvy so far. Play great one week, suck the next; i.e. Cowboys, Jets, Bills. One week does not a season make. Remember the Bills started 5-1 last year and promptly nose dived after a few key injuries exposed their lack of depth.
About the officials - after last weeks crushing defeat to the Jets, our $100,000,000 man (Super Mario) complained that it was hard to get pressure on Sanchez & Tebow when he had hands in his face on every down.

You pickin' Cleveland this week? They're the home team. Keep that bottle handy!

RIP Steve Sabol. I'm sure the rest of you NFL junkies would agree that Steve and his father Ed were true pioneers in sports film making. Their combination of slowed down highlights with the right music, commentary, and mic'd up player sound bites are always a joy to watch, well unless it's your team on the short end. My all-time favorite clip of theirs is Willie Browns pick 6 in Super Bowl XI.

                                                                                           RIP Steve,
