Amazing how quickly things change. I thought for sure the 49ers would be one of the main contenders this year.
Losing Aldon sucks, but let's not get carried away. They went 5-0 without him last year and the team still has an immense amount of talent and very good players that will be stepping in for Aldon/Bowman/Boone while they're gone.

Yes but they are losing a lot of players right now and frankly have not been all that impressive pre season. Hopefully its just a rocky start.

They haven't been impressive any preseason since Harbaugh's been coach. What other players are they losing? Dorsey was only a starter last year because Ian Williams (who's healthy now) got put on IR week 2.

Well their secondary is basically completely turned over. But then again I always thought their secondary was mediocre and carried by the pressure brought by the d-line anyways so maybe the change will be for the better.

Alex Boone, who is apparently one of the few NFL players who knows how to save his money. Isn't the OL playing like a turnstile out there? Iupati especially. Making examples of holdouts is so offseason. Week 1 is now and fans want to see Ws, who in the world cares if the 49ers management saves face and refuses to pay this guy?

We're like 10 days away from people no longer pretending pre-season numbers matter. Thank fuck.

That said, I'd be shocked if SF wins 4 games this year. They've looked atrocious this preseason.

Alex, have you tried Paypal-ing them recently? I click the Paypal link and it just refreshes the page. Wonder if they're just basically shut down at this point.
In the beginning of the month I did get an email saying that my automatic renewal monthly payments were being cancelled. I was a little worried at first but I still have access. I've been watching baseball and preseason football all month. Hopefully I don't lose access in September. It's the greatest subscription service I've ever paid for.

Yeah this is one I just don't get. Boone is a great guard, and they know he is vastly underpaid. Pay the man and get him back with the team. I understand that he is under contract, and had he shown up for camp he probably would already have a new deal in place. It really just doesn't seem like a good gamble though.

Fuuu...yeah I agree. $10/mo. to stream sports in 720p+ is amazing. Hope I can somehow get my account back or figure out a way to get it working with the other account.

Hopefully they get their shit together and do the NFL Sunday Ticket this year. I remember when they banned me a few years ago there were like 20-30 people who were using the acccount that ended up signing up afterward.

My account hasn't been paid since June (think I wanted it for NHL playoffs) and I can still watch everything just fine, I just can't see the channel listing so I have to slog through every channel until I find what I'm looking for. I really only ever had it for watching out of market NFL games (Bucs fan living in NC, so I won't even need it for week 1!).Since I'll be moving back down to Tampa next week I'll get all the local games + RedZone on cable, so not sure if I'll renew again.

Don't forget the season starts on Thursday now. Packers at Seahawks. We're only 5 days away.

Hmm this is awesome. Can't believe I never used this before. Using my Surface Pro 2 to allcast to my Samsung big screem

And using the tablet like a remote control. MMA-TV haa every sport being currently shown with a Direct TV type of layout.

10 bucks is nothing for this.

The secondary hasn't changed much. Bathea is a better player than Whitner was, Reid still looks great, and I like Brock a ton. The only hit we took in the secondary is losing Brown. We're only in trouble if one of our safeties get hurt, because Dahl is fucking horrid. I wish they'd transition Ward to safety just as an insurance policy.

The secondary is going to have to be better this year because the pass rush won't be what it was without Bowman and Smith for the first half of the season. Actually what's going to have to be better is the offense and they have the pieces for it, the question mark is whether or not Kaep is going to step up.

Maybe ya'll might know this answer since I can't find shit. Are there any big name kickers that got cut recently or became available for some reason? I ask because my team just cut both of our kickers so we currently have 0.
