No, sir. God himself decided that those Giants were beating anyone, regardless of the ridiculous manner in which it was achieved... =(

That faggot better play the Chiefs. That's half the reason I'm going is to see him get pounded.You snuck that in while I was responding to the A. Brown comments. Edited back in the context. I'm not as delusional as you
Someone find Araysar and put a suicide watch on him. His boo is gonna miss some games.

That is pretty amazing when you think about how many games have been played.
What do you guys think about Jim Tomsula? I want to like him obviously because I dont want a revolving door at head coach, but he seems.....odd? Especially during press conferences. He does this weird thing where he lowers his tone the longer his response gets, and does this fucked up action with his arms like hes pulling on pony tails, its almost comical. He was a defensive line coach for years and years and is well liked by almost all of his players and peers. I just wonder if his offensive knowledge along with a guy named Geep is going to be able to see this Niners team through in bad situations like against the Steelers.
I remember when Alex Smith was our QB, he pretty much was garaunteed to
A. Not convert on 3rd down.
and
B. Not be able to come back from a huge deficit.
Kap has at least shown the ability to put up points (the 2012 Niners scored 30 pts a game I think) and come down from behind, but with this new offense and revised scheme Im not sure they will be able to fool very many opponents and will have a very hard time scoring in the redzone.

Tomsula definitely just appears to be an odd guy. Didn't he have some crazy path to the NFL? He wasn't really a football guy in the traditional sense of the word, just worked his ass off and got into the league and got this opportunity (Erik Spoelstra style)? Good for him if so.
I do like what they are doing with Kap this year so far. Read options, putting him in open space & throwing on the run. That run to the SB he had was just insane because Harbaugh utilized him properly. That next season opener he out dueled Rodgers for 400+ yards or whatever, and the guys ceiling looked like it was in space. Then they kept him in the pocket all the time, and he lost what made him "special" at times. Either way, it will be a long year & it won't be Kap's fault.
All I know is... I WANT SOME HAYNE PLANE!
What is with Monday night games being mostly shit anyway? Feels like more times than not I couldn't give two fucks about who plays on Monday night and I'm the guy that records 5 or 6 games on Sunday to watch.

The league and ESPN are not friends. They give them shit games, basically weren't happy about the whole ESPN televising football games deal, due to details which I can't remember now. But ESPN is on the NFL's shitlist so they've fucked over MNF in retaliation.
Interesting, I didn't know that. I did find this which explains it better. I wasn't aware of any of it because the only time I watch ESPN is for college football or sometimes for MNF if it isn't a total yawn fest.

In the ESPN book, "These Guys Have All the Fun", they go in to a lot of detail on the situation. After getting pissed with ESPN and then getting big money for Sunday Night Football they basically swapped the SNF/MNF matchmaking. So the previously mediocre SNF games were now the MNF games, and the previously marquee MNF games were now the SNF games.
It has nothing to do with Simmons and Olbermann, it goes back to the original contract negotiations and ESPN overplaying their hand back in the early 2000's and when they decided to go all in on MNF and drop Sunday the NFL saw an opportunity to make bank and punish them at the same time.
