Ok there, buddy. Whatever you say. Right back at you. Like I wouldn't remember? You just it cranky cuz I disagreed with you. You first said Newton was kicked. We weren't even talking rules. We were more talking about what's a kick. And you twisted your point (well, not sure I should call it that since you really didn't have a point - I think you were just trying to bait someone into arguing with you - that's you're typical MO). Make fun of Harbaugh all you want. I do as well. He is an a-hole. I'm not sure he wouldn't admit it himself. But yeah, maybe you don't remember the conversation? Not sure what that's about.
You clearly speak from experience, no? You really shouldn't talk about things you know nothing about. Your posts talking about me being drunk make you look very silly. I can't drink (though I might dabble in a half-pint) for several weeks after having a pretty serious surgery recently. So yeah, there's that.
On a football note, does anyone (including 49er fans) think that the Hawks' offense is holding a little something back? I'm not saying that they're throwing games (being in FL on BrightHouse Network--which doesn't have Sunday Ticket--I haven't seen their offense other than NO on Monday night), but I didn't see nearly the openness on offense against NO as I did on Monday night a few weeks back. Sure, the elements helped stifle some downfield passing (and probably will again on Sunday), but I find it hard to believe that Bevell has his head as far up his butt as it looked on Saturday. There was almost no read-option from Wilson, or even play-action, which were staples last year. I'm also excited to see what Harvin can bring in the 4 plays before you guys give him a concussion .
Part of NO's game plan looked to be getting Harvin out of the game. It worked, and if he's not available for SF, it will be a long day on offense for the Seahawks.
I've been wondering the same, though, it could be people are figuring out the Hawks' offense some. I've heard a few of the analysts talking about, but I'm not sold on it. I think it's more coasting, not showing your cards, etc. Of course, Niners fans are trying to figure out the same with our offense. Is Colin struggling, have teams figured them out, or are they holding back? Of course, there is the fact every team is a quality team now - it's playoff football. So things are tougher and more strategic. I guess we'll all get our answers this week. Win or lose, this game is great for the NFL, even if it is two Wedt Coast teams. It's going to be a tough battle.
Sounds like Harvin has recovered nicely thus far. Even then, he's only played a game and a half this year? Is that right (I thought I read that yesterday AM)?
Yeah, he played against MIN and had a big catch and a 60-yd or so punt return. But he tweaked his hip a bit again, so they shut him down until the playoffs. And then you probably saw Saturday---if you want to be generous and say he played a half, I'll buy.
I saw it. And you know what I meant. He was in the first half, then shut it down. I saw the hit early in the game. What happened later? Something about him landing awkward when trying to make a catch?
he passed all the protocols to get back into the game later in the 2nd quarter, but then on the play in the end zone he got his head slammed into the turf again (legally, I'm not complaining) and the docs didn't let him play anymore.
I have a weird feeling that Harvin makes a few great plays next week that have a big impact on the game. He made a few good plays in just a half last week. After the disappointment of not being able to finish the game, I feel like he's just going to finally explode next week. I just feel it. A season of frustration will be released.
The Seahawks lack playmakers, outside of Lynch. Their offense was humming early against NO with Harvin in the game. No Harvin, and Seattle will need to win a low-scoring game.
Not trying to be argumentative, but they won by 26 without Harvin. I get that Crabtree being available will make the SF offense better (maybe a TD better, even?) but Seattle's already put up 29 on SF once without Harvin.
That game was close until late it just seemed like every key moment worked in their favor, and kaep was playing like an idiot, he would have 15 yards of scramble room and would throw a shit incompletion instead. He's been improving. I've watch a few Seattle games and they have been charmed this year. Touched by an angel if you will. Ot wins and what not Wilson has been pretty shit the last 5 weeks or so, but he's scary to watch play against, kinda like Rodgers, great awareness.
It's not like Seattle put up an offensive clinic in that game. The defense forced turnovers to put the Seahawks in good field position, but overall, it was a pretty bad performance on offense. Wilson went 8/19 passing, and Lynch had 28 carries for 98 yards.
I'd put money on the defense putting the offense in good positions again. Kaep doesn't like playing in CLink
