Cincy Jungle

I put $25 on the Niners before the post season started at 10-1 odds to win it all

and this is why….Defense!

Love your thinking

I picked the Niners among my friends at work to win division because I saw nothing in division that could take them out.

They play old school defense with an offense that now does not make the old silly mistakes they did with Nolan or Singletary.

Vic Fangio

In his 1st year as DC at SF. Yes he inherited a decent roster but he has them playing at a really high level… a level we’ve yet to see in Cincy. Just sayin’

MNF game a few years ago

When GB went to Indy and the only person who did not score in the first Quarter was me.

Harbaugh

excellent coach, but I just can not like him….

I know why

He is still a Michigan man

I love his intensity and his intelligence. I suspect he would tough to like in a pickup hoops game at the Y.

Jim Spann - January 14, 2012 reply

saints are really digging a hole vs a solid 49ers defense

Wow

emeybee - January 14, 2012 reply

not a fumble

he was down

agreed.

nod

I bet Green Bay

would want SF to win.

Yeah but

they have a possible jackpot brewing tomorrow.

true

Giants have momentum… out of the entire NFC i guess I would want the Saints to advance.

Does it look like Graham has a light limp?

I wonder if he may stiffen at the half and cause a problem.

looks like he has a concussion

I was thinking a low back or hip problem

He was twisted on landing lasst time around and he landed square on his left hip there. He will need some hot/cold to keep loose on the break. Remember, the Niners have second half KO.

Link?

I’m in Mexico and all I get is spanish Nickelodeon. Help!

lol try firstrowsports

It works!

Hooray! Muchos Gracias!!

ddbumpus - January 14, 2012 reply

de nada

get ready for 17-14

pretty soon here

not sure

depends on if the chip/nudge on the edge works or if Graham is hurting.

Hey guys

How’s it going?

Well here in South Carolina

I found a store that sell’s Snyder’s chips.

RE:

They have chips?

I was as amazed as you

I grew up near Ironton and I could not watch football without Snyder’s chips growing up.

Snyder's Chips are awesome!

Columbus has them….why wouldn’t Cincy? Are you sheltered Josh?

ddbumpus - January 14, 2012 reply

RE:

No. Grandma lets me out of the basement once per day for an hour. Usually to grab a bag of cheetos. Showers are optional.

lol

hey I grew up near Ironton too...across the river in KY

Where abouts

I graduated from Rock Hill in 1988.

ashland 89

thats a win!

http://www.snyderslanceproductlocator.com/snyders/

toss your zip in their site

To clarify

the Pretzels are from Snyder’s of Hanover; the chips from Snyder’s of Berlin

darn immigration laws.

hey Josh

just wishing the Bengals were playing next.

RE:

Copy that. We’d be playing next, beating the crap out of Brady in the pocket.

did someone mention

TEBOW?

sorry this aint espn..

Is not this a Tebow-free zone?

At least until that game thread is rolling.

RE:

Jason’s response on our round table was hilarious when we accidently warped into Tebow conversion.

Brees has to scare the hell outta the Niners

Anyone that wants the 49ers to win isn't American

I’m still holding onto our Super Bowl losses.

think its an age thing,

i dont pull for the 49ers nor can i. imagine anyone under 25 wonders why bengals fans could care about the 49ers.

RE:

Never, ever support the 49ers. Super Bowl win for us would be nice. But a SB win over the 49ers would make everything right again.

But I blame Paul Brown for the 49ers…

I have a betting interest but would normally root against them

RE:

If it’s about money, then that’s understandable. But once the game is over, you have to go back into hatin’ the playa.

true

wonder how Wyche would have done in Cincy…

For those of you wondering...

Why I blame Paul Brown for the 49ers success, just go back to when Brown retired from the sidelines and didn’t promote Bill Walsh as head coach. :)

Would we've drafted Montana and Rice

For mine similar thing happening with Zim

messjunk - January 14, 2012 reply

RE:

Not sure about the draft or anything of that, but Paul Brown made a disastrous decision not promoting Walsh.

dont forget the historcial Addendum in your scenario

it would be known as the Mid-west Coast Offense in the nfl..

probably not, we wouldnt have gotten the credit for it.

i blame stanley wilson (setting the tone) and Lewis Billups (dropping the int) for the 2nd one

1st one just happened.

I care

I am 43 and the Bengals could have won both of those… any team like SF, Green Bay, Pitt, Dallas… I root against, too much success, lol

Hey I remember both games

I cried at age 11 from the Pontiac debacle.

I nearly had a nervous breakdown when Krumrie borke his leg. (I still scream for Bussey not to vacate that spot every time I see the highlight of Montana to Taylor.)

the niners should have put this game away early

17-0 lead

not as big as once was in this day and age, if you have one of those offenses like NO, GB, NE

Graham and Davis...

Makes beg the football gods for Jermaine Gresham’s eventual development.

wow what a blitz

Justin Smith

Anyone kind of wish we still had him?

i don't

i just remeber him over pursuing a lot on our defense

ehh, I'm alright.

He couldn’t give us the production he gives the 49ers. He’s built to be a 4-3 end.

dammit

*He’s built to be a 3-4 end.

he didnt want to be here

we tried to keep him. he sorta slacked the year we franchised him to encourage cincy to let him go

Screen!

I am looking for one right here.

Turnovers baby

What a catch

Wow, Henderson got MURDERED trying to run down the DB.

Blowed up

Was that Whitner with the nasty block?

Just think, he could have done that in stripes… to Hines Ward. :(

yuppers

yah I keep remembering that tease on tweeter that he did to us :(

hmm

https://twitter.com/#!/DonteWhitner/status/99179700101988352

yeah i recall it.

if you're mike singletary

do you feel screwed watching someone else take the team you built deep into the playoffs?

can't do it can't win with him can't do it

If I was Mike Singletary, I'd kill myself.

No one should be that big of an ass.

Williams is throwing the house at the Niners

Can the Niners run some sort of sprint draw?
Can Smith not throw a pick, channeling his former self?

*exterior

why does the draft have to be so damn far away?

free agency is closer

draft is better though

OUCH

they would pick that banner to show the wind

wow the saints can tie this game by half time

that would not shock me one bit

they can score anytime

if he is down, the half is over.

that was a bad hail marry pass lol.

Not a hail mary

More of lets go to halftime because i am hungry type of throw.

Honestly, I wouldn't be overly surprised if the Saints come out and run away with it in the second half.

They may have already takes the Niners’ best shot.

*taken

I can’t type today.

One thing though

This is not the Lions defense they will be doing this against. They make adjustments too.

hey guys, since we are halftime

I noticed that Thomas has not been seen since Whitner killed him at the goalline and Graham was not on the field the last two possessions for the Saints.

Sorry did not finish thought

Did I just miss them on the field or am I right?

Beautiful shoreline

Would visit but that liberal bastion would make my brain shut down from battling wits with unarmed people.

Quick thought

if the Zimmer situation doesn’t end in our favor and Del Rio is gone by the time we are looking for his replacement, what do you all think of Mike Singletary as our Defensive Coordinator? He’s currently the LB coach for the Vikings and has the same fiery attitude that Zimm has, thoughts?

joeb69 - January 14, 2012 reply

That is why

I would like all that business be finished by the Super Bowl regarding Z.

me too

gotta feeling, it’s gonna be a long drawn out process though.

joeb69 - January 14, 2012 reply

Niner ball

Don't feel like 9ers deserve this....

Don’t get me wrong, I wish our D was as ball-hawking as there’s but that offense is lame-o.

Israeli - January 14, 2012 reply

yep

they should be way up with 5 turnovers.

Brees gets in a zone? Look out if that happens

justin smith would be no where near this good if he stayed here.

JCompton41 - January 14, 2012 via mobile reply

Aesop's fables

there’s a lot of that kind of talk.

Watch out.

Sproles is due.

still is.

alex smith needs some wrs

Crabtrees an ok number 2, that’s about it. Wasn’t he supposed to be a superstar coming out of Texas tech?

JCompton41 - January 14, 2012 via mobile reply

Crabtree came out after his redshirt sophomore year if I remember correctly

listened to the media and contacted an agent almost right after the bowl game.

Brees screwed up the pass to Arrington

if he leads him to the left it’s a TD>

UM

Saints Oline is pretty good and 49ers DB’s are pretty good as well

biggie22 - January 14, 2012 reply

Flashback

to Tom Rathman running the exact same play.

I work as an Athletic Trainer in the HS setting

where are my ZigTech shoes? I do not have any. LOL

i love my zigtechs!

They make boots now too! Buying a pair when ASAP.

JCompton41 - January 14, 2012 via mobile reply

I bet the fans are loving Brees just hanging around

ticalcaldwell - January 14, 2012 reply

Ghost to the Post game reference

on the 40th anniversary season of the Double OT MIA-KC playoff game

old school here we are

2nd and 10

Brat call there running. Terrible.

both these kickers get their salaries

and their social security checks as well, right?

Harbaugh,looks so intense

He’s like a white Singletary,with the mind of a QB

It is crazy

to be able to view both teams blogs at the same time and watch them react simultaneously…Its hilarious…

ticalcaldwell - January 14, 2012 reply

that is why I stay put

49ers way too conservative

too much stuff packed in within 10 lines of the LOS.

Ya,it might bite them in the ass coming down the strech here

Who is SF DC?

Vic Fangio

love to see former or potential bengals kicking a___ out there

Brooks, Smith, Whitner…

ticalcaldwell - January 14, 2012 reply

not me

it’s like rubbing it in that Mike Brown can’t manage a roster nor motivate good players to stay.

Why couldn't they do that here

They were OK but not nearly what they are now, f-ing Breshahan

biggie22 - January 14, 2012 reply

It pains me why we let them go. We never gave brooks a shot to begin with but I guess he was injured alot

bnglsfan - January 14, 2012 via mobile reply

i always liked brooks when he was here.

JCompton41 - January 14, 2012 via mobile reply

Justin Smith with a great sack on Brees

Justin Smith and Ahmad Brooks........

SMH

smoormandiddy - January 14, 2012 reply

that might have been the dagger

nope. they seem happy to go up by six

which, with an offense like the Saints have, I would not be that pleased with.

big play there for the ninerswe all knew akers would make the kick

but with Gore catching the deflection, it kept the clock running for another 35 seconds. See if that factors into anything soon.

*niners. We

Tebow cannot be stopped

ExNFLScout - January 14, 2012 via mobile reply

O boy

here we go

how is Tebow going to be the 49ers here?

that’s what I want to know.

^beat

What would think about the idea of Tebow and Bernard Scott on the same team?

Siragusa looking rather dapper in the suit.

peytons man boobs have developed nicely this season

ExNFLScout - January 14, 2012 via mobile reply

He had to.

he sould not run for a while after the knee injury.

if the Saints go up by 1

they’re not going to be too comfy either, unless they chew up all the clock

Sproles safer on 3rd and 1

than Benson would be.

Sproles explodes

nice play call!

Arrow route

versus man coverage. one hands in face block by Graham downfield. TD Saints.

This is where the Niers offensive tendencies help. They just need to get Akers to a 45 yard kick.

Is it me or does Sproles remind u exactly of Benson

ExNFLScout - January 14, 2012 via mobile reply

Is this a funny?

Implied sarcasm?

Two great head coaches today

Both of ’em you feel their teams have a lot of confidence, and they both have some nads.

It often takes some time for a coach to adjust to the NFL game, but not Harbaugh.

He’s the AJ Green of coaching.

Chimney ball

ersus pressure and David went to the ball

That was even better placed than

Brees’ throw to Colston for the TD

*versus *Davis

I need hooked on phonics remedial course i guess

That catch by Davis

Looked familiar. Only on the other side of the field when it happen to Cincy.

if SF gets this 1st down they can run the clock all the way down

if the Niners score a TD

do you go for 2 or just kick it?

2 for sure

any one got a Tebwo joke to throw in?

That was badass

*you know who I mean

he should have run out at the 1 yard line

I dont agree really

If you got a chance to score you have to do it. Fumble in that siyuation would kill you. That defense has been really strong. I tale my chances with it.

I mean

kneel down 3 times, and the clock runs all the way down, then kick a chip shot field goal,

but

the Saints burn a TO after first down, twom inute warning after the second down, FG comes with a minute.

Still giving Brees 50 seconds (or so) to get in FG range.

true

he would have to just go down inbounds.

see

lol

one thing

TOP was only 34 seconds

Still would have had time for that.

did you notice

the uncalled leg whip on the DB downfield? Conrad Dobler would be proud

remember the play where Gore caught the deflection?

If that pass falls incomplete, there is about 3 full minutes left. Just saying.

Why not take the knee and the 8 seconds sproles..

How many passes have been deflected or defended by the DB's

Holy ..............

What a play

Seriously that was insane..

Jeez if Dalton had that kind of trust in Gresham, we’d make those plays too.

Whitner whiffed

1:37 and one timeout for the Niners but a FG only ties

That is why I was wondering about kick or two on last SF TD

Brees is really shattering the record books.

How conservative to the Saints playon defense. I

Well they blitz and that happens.. lol

this is where the wasted TO prior to the TD hurts

wow

just wow what a game

Instant Classic perhaps?

why would you single

The only target Smith has had this game

To blitz

Gregg Williams modus operandi no matter where he has been.

Battle of Tight ends I know Gresham is just as good if used to stretch the field more coffman too!

bengals&buckeyenation - January 14, 2012 via mobile reply

Dwight Clark call your office

again I repeat.......

See above post

Alex Smith has arrived

Holy cow what a game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow 4 plays td cant wait till are offense clicks this good!

bengals&buckeyenation - January 14, 2012 via mobile reply

lets hope it will

wow what a game

Drew Brees

wasted by a horrible defense…

Story of his career

Purdue, San Diego, now here (won Super Bowl in spite of it

four TD's (combined) in last 4 minutes

and the last looked like the TO TD in the Jerry RIce game vs. GB

After all Vernon Davis has been through

brought on by himself and others—

is he vindicated?

Goodbye Greg Williams......lol

He's already on the move to St. Louis.

Did not know that

They will be ushering his ass out now

what a way to start out this weekends games.

That throw was dead nutz

what in the wide wide world of sports is-a going on

crazy game

and the Saints were 5 point favorites weren't they?

If Tebow made that throw

They would show 1 hour highlights 10 times per day on ESPN.

CBS,NBC,ABC

see everyone on NE-DEN gamethread.

Crazy game.

This is why the playoffs are awesome.

+1

One of the best playoff games ever IMO.

emeybee - January 14, 2012 reply

So my stream jumped to Broncos/Pats

but I’m assuming Sproles didn’t break off a return?

Waiting on the Hail Mary..

didn’t work. Game over.

49ers move on.

Defense wins championships.

not anymore, lol

hard not to respect the game the 49ers played today

Harbacugh

is going to burn out in less than 3 years…

Possibly

Can never tell the first year a coach takes over— is it him, or is it the last guy’s foundation.

emeybee - January 14, 2012 reply

i just mean

he is so freakin high strung… maybe like Vermeil

This team was built by Singletary

You see the same thing with Rex Ryan. The Jets were built by Mangini. Ryan can barely get any of his draft picks on the field.
I think sometimes it takes someone from the outside to come in a rekindle the fire.

Some guys are personel guy and some guys are coaches. rarely do you see both.

You can see it in the defense and mentality

But Singletary will never ever head coach in a NFC chanpionchip game

is it tebow time now
