Arrington would be good too. 49'ers need a new RB. The best 2 players (also the only good ones) are Reggie Bush and the kick-off kicker. That kicker has to take roids man. He's just ridiculous.

Cal Bears for life. :D

Did you read this morning that it looks like Gannon will have to hang it up?

Bummer. I always liked that guy. When he was younger he reminded me a lot of Steve Young... but without the press. I thought he and "Chucky" were a great pair.

Collins? I learned to hate the guy when he started with Carolina and put a whoopin' on the Niners when he was just a rookie. So it never bothered me that he turned into nothing but a big arm with no brain attached.

The Pats. THE PATS!!! 19 in a row! Jeez!

Back to my Niners. Man, don't you just love reading the comments from Kevan "Soon to be New Dead Money" Barlow about how bad the game was against the Cards, because his rushing average went down?


Yea I could have guessed he's done for the season and maybe his career. Still in shock that he would get head first at a probowl defender like Derrick Brookes. Ahhhh :beaten:

And yea I'm also a big fan of Gannon. He doesn't have great skill but he's smart and knows the game and gets by with his brain rather than Michael Vick atheletic ability. I always had a liking for players who could do that. I guess it's time to look forward to next season or maybe pretend fantasy football is real football and aim for the jdorama fantasy football superbowl! :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

Eli Manning!!! Man with the 2nd pick they could have put some deal together for Eli but then again he wanted to be a Giant. Philip Rivers was on the board still but my guess is that he's the next Ryan Leaf or Tim Couch. Although I like Robert Gallery and from what I've seen, he's been great in the front line, he will never be remembered with the other bunch of guys just cause of his position. And to think, the Raider's could have had Roy Williams too! ROY WILLIAMS! Could easily be the next Tim Brown or Jerry Rice right there. That kid is FAST and he can catch and he can also jump with the best of them.

Wow your team sounds a lot like mine, except I still managed a win. I had Arizona defense since they were playing the 49ers and freaking Rattay pisses me off by coming back and winning that game. I would have had SOOOO much more points if it just stayed 28-12. And yea Glenn didn't have a good game, nor did Moulds but expect Moulds to get a TD next week since they play good ole Miami! Try to get Mwelde Moore, who is like now my dark horse running back :hehe:

Hoo hoo! The Pack gets hammered by the Titans, 48-27. AT Lambeau Field... :hehe: :hehe:

It's the first time the Packers have lost four straight in the Bret Favre era...

There's a shocker. The Pack and the Niners have the same miserable

1 & 4 record.

It was sort of expected for the Niners this year. But what's going on with the Pack?

Time has finally caught up with 'em, I think.

Ron Wolff retired as GM a while ago... so the drafts and player trades are arguably less productive...

Favre's coaches that made him an MVP, Mike Homgren and Steve Mariucci, have been gone for years...

Farve has been having all kinds of problems with his shoulders hamstrings etc. it's catching up with him. As Farve goes so do the Packers. Their Defense has not been as good as it should be either.

1 simple answer, their defense sucks. That and also ahman green hasn't been doing his share of the work which isn't opening up any passing game for them and putting even more load on Favre as it is with that bum shoulder, hamstring, and coming off the concussion. :sweat:

I can see Favre hanging it up after this year, he's been so beat up the last few seasons.

That would not surprise me at all either. Of course he may pull an Emmit Smith and get healthy again in the off season and be back for more, but I doubt it.

Haha yup, but after watching Favre so many years and how he killed the 49ers back in the day with Young and Rice, I really do have to admit Favre is one of the best passers of all time. Even now he's still one of the best at his position. I'd say, take away Manning and Culpepper and Favre would be right there for best throwing arms

Favre's also got a big problem... lack of supporting cast compared to his Superbowl days.

Part of the reason why he has so many interceptions the last few seasons is that he feels akin to the old John Elway (pre-Terrell Davis) and old Dan Marino, that he has to make everything happen. So he forces too many balls into coverages that he should not.

Who's a pleasant surprise this year is Kurt Warner. Now that he's actually healthy, he's one of the main reasons why the Giants are 4W-1L. That gives the Giants the luxury of bringing along Eli Manning at a more reasonable pace.
