49ers at Chargers Game Thread

PrintI don't want San Francisco to win and I don't want San Francisco to lose. I sort of want San Diego to win because I think they are a worthy playoff team and I know Philip Rivers is a worthy quarterback.
So the remaining interest is in how the game is played. How boring. Will Alex Smith show any progress or is Seattle's pass defense truly and undeniably that bad? My money's on the latter.
Has San Diego patched its special teams unit?
If San Diego takes San Francisco behind the woodshed (which is a metaphor for child abuse (but during a time when it was acceptable, mind you)) should Seahawks fans be happy or that much more convinced that Seattle is one of the worst teams in the NFL?
Oh, and I suspect there's some fantasy implications too. That Ryan Mathews kid everyone over-drafted has a chance to justify sitting on your bench the last ten weeks.
FOOTBALL!

C'mon
Make it worthwhile! i put him in over Tolbert when they decided Mathews was starting!
He's really out?
Crazy.
This wooden soul of mine, it cannot ever climb from places it has fallen: In between where light can shine. It never falls in line, it barely has a spine, like branches severed from the vine. Like it was faulty by design.
I missed the playoffs in my NFL.com league
because their tiebreakers are points scored. Me and two other guys were tied with 8-6 records and two guys had 9-5 records. The other two guys with 8-6 records went to the playoffs while I didn’t. Even though in the two weeks that I played the other 8-6 guys, I beat both of them. Of course I still didn’t get to go because their teams scored more than mine did.
FOOT!

Talking heads "A herp a derp a derp"
“NFC west sucks a derpa derp but if the niners can play like a team not from the west they can win it a herpa a derpiddy do”
Niners started the season 0-5 for a reason knuckleheads. I wish they’d stop talking like the Niners deserve to be in a better division than the rest of us.

I want the 49ers to lose because I'd rather the Rams win the division
In other news, the cashier at the Safeway I went to goes to church with Mack Strong.

I also just had a fantastic win in Madden '02
Charlie Rogers with a 96 yard OT kickoff return for a touchdown to win it for me 34-28 over Kansas City.
The defense got torched by Bubby Brister (Trent Green was injured) but I stuffed the running game. Hasselbeck went 11-25, 154 yds, 2 TDs, 1 INT. I had 258 yards rushing (131 from Shaun, 113 from Watters, 14 from Hass) and of all things I scored on a 50 yard screen pass with Alexander.
Accustomed to mediocrity.
I still have Madden '05
Alexander was unstoppable in that version of the game. He was pretty good in real life (back then) as well.
I used to work at Alaska Airlines
Totally checked Mack in for a flight outta Spokane, class act, shook my hand :)
2/3 of the world is covered by water. The rest is covered by Marcus Trufant.
In other other news, my girlfriend just met Jake Locker
and somehow refrained from kissing him.

What a catch
Wow.
To improve, they should try to become the musical southern cal of the west. - bRuins Nation poster on the Stanford band.
I saw some of Sanchez's work against Miami
And totally see what John means about giving up on him. Holy crap that was bad.
Accustomed to mediocrity.
I hate all of the pre-snap motion the Jets use on offense.
They have Sanchez battling to beat the play clock on every play. He would really benefit from an up-tempo approach at the line of scrimmage.

Starting Joe Webb at WR this week in our QB-heavy league……grumble grumble.
Well there's a play Hasselbeck can't make.
At least without getting killed.
Alex Smith is making tough throws according to Theismann
Inaccurate, but that’s beside the point.
The Niners running game is working so unfortunately the Niners have a good chance at winning.

Stuffed!

Sam Calagione came and spoke at my work while we drank his beers
It was a “drinking lunch” and by the end of the 1.5 hours we were pretty toasty. They would keep filling if you asked and I might have gone through about 3 pints of the 90 minute in about 15 minutes because, well, it’s really good.
I didn't see it, why was he ejected?

In about two months he'll be able to masturbate his head off
‘cause he isn’t going to have a job.
NinerNation is melting down right now
if anyone enjoys that kind of thing. Especially when they say stuff like this (regarding the leverage penalty):
They are actually over there saying that ref was looking for a fight
and that Justin Smith was a casualty of that. It’s kind of amazing that someone could actually think that, let alone type it out and then have others agree.
Even if the Niners make the playoffs
Nothing short of a playoff win keeps Singletary’s job.

They lost two games to Oakland...

There's not a lot of things in life better than watching the 49ers get completely curb stomped.

Suck it Singletary
Right now he’s got to be thinking about what he could add to that resume to make it appear it wasn’t his fault. I mean, wasn’t the badness because of Jimmy Raye?
So basically the NFC West should just about rest on the shoulders of next week's 49ers/Rams game.
Accustomed to mediocrity.
Pretty much. If the Rams lose, it's about over.

Nice challenge, asshole.
God I hate the 49ers. Thank God I didn’t watch the game last Sunday. I’d have died of a heart attack.

Woot for our contribution of 50% of our division's out-of-division road wins this season!
Sounds good when put that way…

I would say that the 49ers got dick punched in this game...
…but that would be admitting they have any form of male anatomy.
Wow. Alex Smith is embarrassingly bad.

Sing looks like a guy that would only get more stubborn in the face of adversity
Maybe he’ll start Alex as a big FU to the fanbase on his way out.

He shouldn't have ever put Smith back in. That baffled me.

Aaaaaaaaand the Chargers decide to rub it in
If they decide to re-seed the playoffs because of the NFC West, they should introduce a mercy rule as well.

I'm so torn about Nort Turner
On one hand, he’s got one of the most efficient teams on both offense and defense, on the other hand they really know how to lay some eggs. But when they’re on, man are the Chargers on.
The clock is ticking on them.
They had a all-pro team when they rebuilt the franchise in the hands of LT, Rivers/Brees, Gates, Williams, Cromartie and Merriman. Now nearly half of them are gone and they still have not reached the Super Bowl.

As long as Rivers is there they'll be fine.
And that defense isn’t any worse for having lost that trio.
Wow. Mathew is bad.
He had like 5 blockers, and was tackled for no gain. Epic.

He gives every child hope that they can play in the NFL, too. While still children.

I kinda hate it when Ryan Leaf is brought up for why to not draft a QB due to the risk
Well, yeah, then they went and drafted Brees and Rivers. Two outta three ain’t bad. Doesn’t matter, so long as you finally hit that franchise QB, and so long as you don’t Alex Smith it and keep the guy year after year even though he stinks.
If I'm not mistaken, they drafted Manning instead of Rivers
They traded Manning to NYG for Rivers. I’ve heard that the reason for the trade was that Manning refused to play for them because they mismanaged Leaf. Whatever the reason, I think they got the better end of the deal.

No, I don’t want to go to sunny San Diego, who wants to live there! But yeah, San Diego def. won on that one.

Here's the story
http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/MarkFaller/54100
After they were drafted, [Peyton] Manning told Leaf about how well the Colts organization treated him. They basically bent over backward to make his transition to the NFL as smooth as possible, taking care of all the non-football stuff so Peyton could concentrate on immersing himself into the Colts offense.
Manning was stunned to hear that Leaf’s experience was completely different. Our golfing partner said that Leaf was basically left to figure it out for himself. If that’s true, you combine it with the legendary stories about what an immature jerk Leaf is and begin understand why he crashed so quickly. Again, this is coming from a family friend. Who knows what the Chargers did or did not do for their rookie QB, or whether their management team was equipped to deal with such a high-maintenance player.
Regardless of who was at fault for the failed Leaf-Chargers marriage, the allegedly shabby treatment of Leaf stuck with the Manning clan. And, our new golf buddy explained, that’s why Archie Manning, the patriarch, threw such a fit on draft day when Eli was picked by San Diego.
