If CK keeps playing like in the first three drives of the MNF game, it not he who will find himself on the trading block.

The Bears better make a play on D.like.right.now. Else this game is going to get away pretty soon. Niners are skewering the Bears D by mixing it up real well

Keep playing like this Kaepernick, and you will pull a Brady over Bledsoe with Alex Smith

Sorry but this playcalling drives me nuts. 2 good runs by Forte and tice calls a pass play from a backup QB who hasnt been on the field in forever. What is it with these OCs?

Gailey is not the only one calling a pass play on 3rd and 1 when they have a terrific RB. Perhaps the Bears run D made them call that play but 9ers should have taken the opportunity to run and set the tone

Terrifically accurate first three throws by Kaepernick

Only against the Pats* and Cowboys. With any other team, I will appreciate the coach calling the dogs off once he has a ~3 TD lead in the 4th quarter.

I don't think BB really cares. He was just being his regular arrogant self. There was no reason to keep Brady in after scoring 45 so late in the game. The Colts will remember this, as the Bills should. When (and if) the tables turn, both these franchises should remember to rub it in his face and score whatever they can.

Not to hijack this thread, but our front 4 played really well. Mario was really pressuring, Dareus had some good plays finally, KyleW was his usual self and even Merriman, Moore were in on the action. Also props to Gilmore for largely containing Hartline

... and more cosmetic surgeons.

Too often we get caught up in term of 'franchise QB'. That term can cover a range of QBs. The best will be the likes of Brady, Rodgers, Mannings. The next (slightly lower tier) are guys like Flacco, Matt Ryan who though not as good as the topmost tier, can still be defined as 'franchise QBs'. In our desire to look for the former, let us not overlook what the latters bring to the table. IMHO, a Flaccco or Ryan can be more than adequate to take this team to the promised land. If we hold out for the next prospects most similar to Luck and RGIII, we could be waiting a real long time. All the while letting season after season slip away with the slavish adherence to BPA

You say that as if its a bad thing.

On the play that ended the game, we were short on time and timeouts. If CJ gets tackled, precious time comes off the clock. Throwing to the EZ was the correct call. If it was an INC, still have another chance. Who to throw to and which route the WRs ran is another matter. But throwing in that situation was the correct call.

I wish someone would predict a win for us. Oh what the hay, might as well be me (being homerish and all that). I predict an ugly game but a victory for the Bills.

Its called press coverage - something which the kid does very well. Unfortunately, Wanny insists on having him play with a cushion which leaves the young one exposed but still he has done very well. One of his PI penalties was totally BS - this is one of those calls which others are screaming about in the anti-refs thread on this board. The side effect of this call was his doubting himself which was apparent when he defended another pass and almost automatically looked at the ref to see if he was going to be flagged. The kid seems to be learning fast and needs to be allowed to play the physical style which is his forte

Just got the text that Gailey announced FJax will not play. Probably to check out the concussion and to play it safe.

Then props to Simon

You have to admit he got the 'mindless' part right

Just a reminder- you said a couple of posts back that you were leaving

the refs really have it against us today. and I normally dont complain about officiating

the essential 1-2 punch

Great block by CJ on that last pass play to Chandler.

Wow, I am seriously not awake this morning . what a friggin' brain f*** on my part. Thanx for waking me up.

I am fully on board with this thought. We do not have the luxury of not upgrading the QB position this year and do not want to look at the lower rounds to hope we find a diamond in the rough. Take the QB even if he may not be BPA. While I agree with your sentiment, Miami wanted Tannehill. If anybody, we would have had to trade with the Jags

Not sure I am excited just yet but hope as hell he does well. Also, we are now down to McKelvin, Rogers and Brooks as CBs. McK we know much of but I am excited to see what the other two do with this opportunity as both flashed potential off and on but will be seriously tested today.
