On The Cusp of Six
Woke up today feeling not as confident as the days leading up. This is Aaron freaking Rodgers. We’re doomed. He’s gonna sit behind a rock solid line, scan the field and have his pick of receiving options before rifling a laser pass to a pinpoint target.
Just kidding. We’re gonna smoke these fuckers.
Full steam ahead to Super Bowl 54…
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Freezing cold in KC today, that’ll help the running game a little insofar as it might negatively affect the passing game a little. Starting to think King Henry can run on the Chiefs and if that happens maybe we got a game there????
My buddy and I just returned from a trip to Thailand earlier this week. He “prays at the altar of the Packers,” being a life long fan going back to his days living in Wisconsin.
That being said, he’s a realist and said that the Packers offensive line will be overwhelmed by the 49ers defensive front and Rodgers does not have the receivers to keep up. Only legit receiver – Adams – is not a speed burner and moreover, will be keyed on by the 49ers defensive back field. The rest of them (Lazard, Kumerow, Graham) are “just guys” or over the hill (Graham). The only real weapon besides Adams, is Jones at RB. In any event, as you said, my buddy thinks they’re going to get “smoked” too.
Katie Sowers is on the 49ers’ coaching staff.
Huff hates that, no doubt.
He probably hated being announced by Renel…
I’d bet he doesn’t get laid much these days.
Did she steal his thong?
yeah brutal cold in KC, see how that impacts flow of game. I know Niners smoked them first time around and were all over Rodgers. would be surprised if that happened again.
Neither Henry or Mahomes can be stopped.
Turnovers and special teams might decide this one.
GB -SF is more complicated…
my pick for random guy to score a long td (or 2) today is Mecole. I have no idea why Robinson keeps getting more snaps than him but Robinson can’t hold Mecole’s jockstrap. Maybe all those drops last week finally gets Hardman more snaps.
Completely agree – and they only drafted him because it looked like Tyreek was in trouble…
seriously this dude might have too much money. Who am I kidding, I’d probably use it the same way if I was in the same position.
I love watching this stuff. I didn’t play football so while this may seem elementary to some it really helps me understand the game on a different level. Cosell is the best, I could watch these quick clips all day.
thx. when something works like this in run game, just the way you draw it up, it looks so easy.
And by contrast when your helpless QB is getting thrashed in seconds by blitz/pass rush you wonder what could have been done against it
Love Cosell and his breakdown.
If you send to many receivers out on a pattern (4man slot&TE) yes it effects the OL with not enough blockers and then you have to make sure the RB does his job picking up a blitzer.Its always a chess match between OC&DC to get an advantage..
Man I could make a road trip to KC just for those “Bomb” Baby Back Ribs they are famous for!
time to break this streak, aye Loo?
I didn’t even know this was an actual song.All my life I thought this was just some shit people sang when it started raining, lol
Song was sung in Butch Cassidy&Sundance Kid with a hot Katherine Ross riding on the handlebars of the wave of the future a bicycle ridden by Paul Newman..
50 years ago Wow 😳 that’s along time between SB appearances.I’ll root for Loo for them to get there, but they have to lose to my 49ers in they’re “Drive for Six”
Yep. Great movie. Who are those guys?!
Super Bowl I was in the LA Coliseum on Jan 15, 1967.
LBJ was president, and the Vietnam War was on full blast with about 400,000 men in country.
The Doors had just released their initial, eponymous album on January 4, containing “Light My Fire” and “The End”.
I may have been in 4th grade…
4th grade for me…The Doors were awesome…
It was on the radio every 10 minutes.
You couldn’t escape it…
even the long version. Tremendous LP though.
Loved Air Mc Nair and Tennessee, cool player, from Alcorn St (like Warriors great Mr. Mean Larry Smith).
And Quinn Martin a fantastic producer had 2 great tv shows on “The Fugitive starring David Jansen “ and the Sci Fi show “The Invaders” starring Roy Thinnes”
Going on in the early/mid ’70s to produce “The Streets of San Francisco”, with Karl Malden and a very young Michael Douglas.
I just finished watching a short series on Netflix called The Kominsky Method with Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin. Douglas plays an acting teacher in LA. First season is funnier than hell, especially if you’re 55+…
Um, don’t start me talkin but there was helluva lot better music in 1969 than Raindrops.
Hey, Scarlet Knights “RAC” up another home win in the Big 10 today over Minnesota.
yeah hella weekend for Jersey ball. The Hall is undefeated in league and Monmouth tied for first!
Poll I saw on cbs site has Rutgers in top 25.
Grateful Dead’s Workingman’s Dead….May have been early ‘70.
one of first rock songs every 1954 Hank Ballard “work with me annie” and the answer song to that (title was changed to accommodate sensors) was Etta James “roll with me Henry.”
looks like that’s Titans plan today.
Titans looking sharp up 10-0 but so did Texans early last week.
When I first started reading the thread, I thought you’d fallen and knocked your head, Flav. 😂 In all seriousness, and not just because I am a Niner fan, but the Niners are a better football team. If they take care of the ball (no turnovers)…they win.
Can’t wait…let’s rumble!
Niners should not lose this game on talent.
If they go down -3 or -4 on turnover battle, well, then that’s how GB has a path to win…
Titans are looking real. Eight minute drive and back to a 10 point lead. Damn.
And KC punches back. Could be a shoot-out…
Holy fuck! Mahomes…
I don’t think Titans will shit in their pants like Texans did last week, this game goes down to the end!
And as I’m typing Mahomes goes full Steve Young on that run..
The LSU game turned on a big QB run late in the 1st half. Maybe this one, too.
Yep….
Aye, First Mate! Full steam ahead!
Loo I know it’s not over till the Fat Man Walrus sings, but it’s looking pretty good for the Chiefs to get to the show now…
Chiefs did their part, out rushed Tenn never would have thought that. AFC Champs!
Well, half,of the equation is set. Niners need to take care of business. My childhood team vs. the Niners. Go Niners!
That’s the way to get off to a great start!
Mosert Gallup for the TD!’
thrash.
Swiss Cheese-head defense.
See ya in Miami.
Is SF this good or does everyone just lay down for them?
What a joke of a game…
They are that good.KC will have difficulty stopping the run game.But Mahomes with his mobility and weapons will still make this a very exciting game.
Heck of a first half.
3TD’s for Mosert as the OL continues to part the Red Sea 🌊
fuckers got smoked!
Pure fucking domination. Loo, to answer your question (well, with my opinion), yes, the Niners are that good.
Hoping Coleman is OK (shoulder injury).
“Domination” is an awesome Pantera song.
I won’t burden you with the video unless you feel like bashing your head through a brick wall…
Vikings and Pack had no answer for Niner’s D. Will KC?
Let’s roll!
The only dreams Rodgers will have is Red&Gold State Farm nightmares!!!
So what am I supposed to do for the next 2 weeks?
I have no experience with this stuff.
Any prop bets on Tyreek Hill getting in trouble during SB week?
What do you think the line will be?
I’d say SF -3 for openers.
O/U: 52.5?
Niners have to close this out, first. But if we get there, yeah, maybe 3.5. I think you’re right there on the O/U.
Coleman out for remainder of this game.

Blade – have you checked on your friend? He may be looking for a ledge.
My daughter is a huge Packer fan. Have not heard from her.
Not his style. Like I said above, he never talks shit, especially when his team has zero chance. Conversely, I have about a half dozen Raider friends that talk shit every fucking season, despite being in the frickin’ wilderness for the last 2 decades. That’s weak.
FOUR for Mostert! BOOM! Smoke it Pack.
What a game for Rasheem Mosert!
4 Freakin TD’s!!
No need to pass the ball with they’re dominating run game!!
One advantage KC backers will make a big deal out of is that they’ve been more battle tested than the 49ers who coasted in…
That would be a mistake. Go look at the last 4 or 5 regular season games and tell me that’s not battle tested shit
I believe you…
Agree with Flav. Niners won five games against solid teams that were decided in like the last 10 seconds, or last play (Ravens, Saints, Lambs, and Seahawks twice). Niners are battle tested.
Shanahan needs to let the offense play to win, not to just run clock…
Two national commercials (H & R Block and Heineken) both using Isley Brothers “It’s Your Thing” as background music. Just something else to get on my nerves…
I pussed out and didnt go KC and Niners straight parlay…teased them and win back my Ravens loss. Now to hedge my Niners winning the super bowl bet at the start of the season with a little on KC…Niners assume will be about 3 pt fav..
Mostert is a baaaaaaaad maaaaaannnnn
As I are the ones on the O-line, his FBI, and TE.
Niners run game is crazy good.
Play keep away from Mahomes is a good approach…
Doing what they have been doing…
SUPER BOWL 54!!!
Bring on the Chiefs!!!
Should be epic!!!
Should be a wild ride, Kat – unlike last year’s all-time stinker…
Shocker Loo…KC a -1.5 fav….crazy…bet you big Niner dollars are going to swing that line
Chiefs are the glamour team, I guess.
Maybe you’ll get a shot at “middling” the game – every bettor’s dream…
I am adding money on top for the Niners….think they win the game outright…so if they do, will end up winning just over $1k
I don’t see too many complaints about Jed York lately.
He’s a complete dbag who finally had the good sense to get the fuck out of the way.
Complete agree…f’n moron…
Agree, but thank goodness he had the sense to get the fuck outta the kitchen.
Ha good one. Name’s been mud out here for long time. New regime and Bradshaw gives him credit by name on national TV.
Well whattya know, SF/KC just as I said 3 weeks ago
Loo nailed the over under…52.5…
Let the Chiefs try and figure out how to stop Mostert and we are going to give them Kittle and Samuel down their throats…
Only bummer I can see is the Chiefs being the home team gets to wear the Red jerseys if I’m not mistaken.49ers have never played a SB wearing white.But fuck it white is alright in my book !!!!
That’s not correct about the white jerseys. I’d have to look it up, but my memory of the Super Bowl vs. Denver was white jerseys for the Niners.
https://www.49ers.com/photos/super-bowl-xxiv-49ers-55-broncos-10-16758631#9966bacd-7bbf-4f61-88f8-da47c1f3ad71
1st Super Bowl vs. Bengals was white jerseys, too.
My bad, you are correct Zumie!
I feel even better now knowing it just doesn’t matter what color their wearing!
He left out 2016: Sharks in Finals.
hockey is stupid.
.
I feel like the football version of the Rooster here…
Now you know how I felt eight years ago.
I will say this–guy like Mahomes is never out of a game. Niners didn’t have problem moving the ball or scoring on Seattle, it was stopping the mobile Wilson and Co, which they only did by inches. And KC has lot more weapons to work with around Mahomes than Wilson did.
Still…
True, WillieD, and the flip-side of that discussion is that KC hasn’t seen a D like the Niners, and Niners have the fourth rated offense. Should be a helluva game.
Niners D is healthier too than when they were playing seattle. another 2 weeks will surely help.
If I can get 1.5 and the Niners in Tahoe tomorrow, I will be taking a quick road trip (only about an hour from my casa)….
S.F. vs. K.C. — where have we seen this before?
Hmmm….a revenge angle.
When are the mayors gonna make their stupid bets like people give a fuck?
Some BBQ shit for Rice-A-Roni?
Niners ought to give Madbum a bench pass for the Super Bowl…
Panik signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays.
Eh Joe.
Excellent!
Prepare for 2 weeks of the Hank Stram SB video ad nauseum.
It’s fantastic, but I’ve watched it 10,000 times.
Also lots of re-hashing of the ex-SF QBs in KC.
I don’t need any of that crap…
“hockey is stupid”
I’ll take it over golf, horse racing, auto racing, and boxing.
that’s also stupid.
You don’t like hockey. We get it.
I would take Chutes and Ladders over golf ⛳⛳⛳…
POTD right there. Legos too.
If you’ve played golf OK I can understand. watching it, yawn to the nth power.
Speaking of hockey, Sharks under DeBoer were in conference finals vs. STL 2019. they aren’t very good right now but still it’s fun to watch. And even better live.
George Carlin hated golf. He had a pretty good rant about golf.
Nothing wrong with golf 🏌️♀️ that the 19th hole won’t cure🥃🍺
Please move to Brooklyn!
Rob Lowe is getting some social media mockery for wearing an NFL hat that says “NFL.”

KC highlight for me was watching Tiny Nate Archibald (and Sam Lacey) in their blue KC/O unis in early and mid 70s play warriors here. Man he was blur, and could do everything–shoot outside drive to the rim, pass and knock down FTs. Led league in scoring avg. 34 and in assists same year. Plus, b-ball reference lists him at 6-1 but he might not have been even 5-10. Before he tore achilles he was tremendous.
