     Why do we have to play all the tough teams on the road? It seems like the Niners' greatest rival is the schedule makers.

Have you seen the Giants schedule?  Not just road but home......awful.

     It comes with the territory of winning your division. With that said, I think the Giants would rather play on the road. It seems to work out better for them.

     Alex Smith sets the team record for most consecutive regular season passing attempts without an interception, breaking Steve Young's record of 184. I think this might be the year that Alex gets some respect.

Outside of SF? 

     Yeah. He earned plenty of respect from Niners fans last year, but it seems that everyone else walked away thinking that he still sucked. This year, the movement goes nationwide!

     Cutler played really badly tonight. Rodgers didn't do so great, either. I wonder if the Packers are regressing to the mean.

49ers prediction: 14-2

     I predicted 12-4, including a win against the Packers. Given how efficient our offense was though, I'm tempted to scale up the wins in that prediction.

I'm in my chair screaming for Vick to succeed in his opening drive?  Oh good Lord, kill me

     It must be painful to be divisional rivals with the Ravens. Damn, that team is good.

[Associate Justice PiT]

That last drive was amazing. Alex Smith is great.

     Indeed he is. Our receivers are somewhat disappointing though, Crabtree and Vernon aside. Without those drops, Smith would have been 28/31. That is just an unreal level of accuracy.

     The Victory formation issue is stupid, because there's no way to really enforce any prohibition on running the clock out. If we get rid of the victory formation, then the QB will just take the snap and "trip", or bootleg out and slide once a defender gets within two yards of him. The same thing will happen anyway.

I'm glad to see there are a couple of other Niners fans on this site, I'm thinking they could go 15-1 this season, a lot of that is wishfull thinking though.

     Welcome! At this point, I think the Niners should be considered at least even and probably the favorite in every remaining game. Going 16-0 or 15-1 is certainly conceivable, but it's immensely difficult to not drop a few games somewhere.

Guys, the replay officials who made the fyked up call last night are the regular replay officials.  Blame them for the final decision.

     Rules are that you can't review a call of simultaneous possession. They were just making a routine review to see if possession existed, which it did (just not for the side the refs alleged). Green Bay was ****ed over hardcore.

Alex Smith: 18-24, 303 yards, 3 TD

     Over/under for people to start complaining about him holding this team back again?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Found out that the Niners are averaging 6.1 yards per carry running the ball. Now that is an impressive stat.

[Associate Justice PiT]

This would be much less annoying if the Giants were actually a good team.

     I actually went to a movie instead of watching the game this week. We usually lose when I don't watch, for some reason. At least we should torch Seattle, given how we play after losing games.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Giants got lucky tonight.  This was Dallas' game.

     Nah, you just had Tony Romo behind center.
