A game that the 49ers should win, but I am not sold on them yet.
I think the clowns slip by the niners and bring them back to earth like we have seen from the Lions the last couple weeks.

Hillis & Chicken Fujita practiced today and are expected to play. Carlton Mitchell will also be on the active roster and should see action. If Shurmur is smart, he throws C-Mitch in there and has him run a few deep patterns (fastest receiver on the team) if nothing else to keep the D honest.
SF gives up something like 74 yards rushing per game and 260 passing. Another wasted opportunity since they have no passing attack. :mad:
I know it won't happen but Shurmur should also put McCoy in the shotgun more because a) he's used to it and b) he might make it through the season.

Couldn't have anything to do with Cincy being 0.5 game out of first place and the Browns being in last, could it?Writerbuckeye;945132 wrote: Thank God I've got NFL Ticket, because the dolts at WBNS have chosen the Cincinnati-Seattle game to televise. Apparently, they think even though Cincy fans won't even sell out their own stadium, they'll all flock to Columbus to watch, and the ratings will be higher than the Browns game.

Mitchell will break a nail in practice and be out the rest of the season.....I still don't get how players get hurt in an NFL practice, blows my mind really! I would love to see him in game action though, they were saying he is the next Marques Colston.

One thing that worries me is that we're 30th in the league against TEs (accoring to footballoutsiders.com) and the 49ers have a very good one in Vernon Davis. It's beyond frustrating to watch a below average QB pick you apart because you can't cover the TE. That and special teams are the two areas that worry me the most about this game.

That's the biggest concern the Browns will have in the passing game. The Niners have two very athletic TE's. Edwards & Crabtree at WR don't really concern me. Wish there was a way they could put Joe Haden on Vernon Davis, lol.grodt;946384 wrote:One thing that worries me is that we're 30th in the league against TEs (accoring to footballoutsiders.com) and the 49ers have a very good one in Vernon Davis.

On a side note, I'm REALLY starting to love the Bull on Bull & Fox (92.3). Although he is a lifelong Bengals fan, he rips the shit out of the frontrunners/bandwagoners. Some local Cleveland guy called into the show yesterday talking about "his Niners" and how the only players on the Browns team would could play for SF were Joe Thomas & Haden, as if SF's talent level was light years above the Browns. It's not. Bull ran him off the show talking about how the Cowboys & 49ers fans come out of the woodwork once they win a few. He's also referred to the Terrible Bowel as a "black & yellow hanky."

It would if the spokesman (Frank Willson) hadn't repeatedly said they make their decisions based on ratings. Since Cincy rarely gets better ratings than the Browns (or the Steelers, for that matter), it makes you wonder exactly what they're thinking.coach_bob1;946306 wrote:Couldn't have anything to do with Cincy being 0.5 game out of first place and the Browns being in last, could it?

it feels like it's taken two years to get this guy on the field. I'd think if he was as good as Colston, that wouldn't be the case. Color me extremely skeptical on this experiment -- because that's what it is: an experiment.OQB;946314 wrote:Mitchell will break a nail in practice and be out the rest of the season.....I still don't get how players get hurt in an NFL practice, blows my mind really!

It may also be out of fairness. They chose to not show the Bengals/Colts game and instead showed the Browns/Raiders. They may just be trying to rotate.

Fairness for what? The game was blacked out. The only people to blame for that are the so called Bengals "fans."coach_bob1;946771 wrote:It may also be out of fairness. They chose to not show the Bengals/Colts game and instead showed the Browns/Raiders. They may just be trying to rotate.

Well, genius, we're talking about Columbus. Columbus is not in the blackout zone and is a mix of Browns, Bengals, and Steelers fans. CBS did not have the double-header that week so they had the choice of the Bengals/Colts game (which on paper looked like a snoozer) or the Browns/Raiders game (which actually was a snoozer until late in the 4th quarter). They chose the Browns. This time they chose the Bengals.like_that;946785 wrote:Fairness for what? The game was blacked out. The only people to blame for that are the so called Bengals "fans."
Also, the last time i checked, fans do not win or lose games. Games are won by smart coaching and/or proper execution by players. So why don't you find something else to get on your soapbox about. Maybe you and CoA can use your pillowtalk time to figure something out.

Yes, I do because I understand the last two Browns games were horrible to watch. (And i usually enjoy watching Browns games just because they play a different style of football then the Bengals)DeyDurkie5;946823 wrote:and you call yourself smart?

They do when they are in a mixed market. At the beginning of the season, Channel 10 lets restaurants know they will not be showing only Browns games, only Bengals games, and only Steelers games. They even send out schedules to show you when all 3 play at the same time on CBS and let you know that which team they broadcast in this situation will be rotated due to the diverse market they serve.SportsAndLady;946794 wrote:Yeah TV companies operate on "fairness"

lol nice to know being a part of a shitty fan base is starting to get under your skin. Where did I say anything about the correlation between fans and performance? We are taking about TV viewership, when your fans are shitty, they don't deserve to watch the games. lol at "fairness."
