    Id say the one about Irving Fryar.

    Good Luck to 49ers tonight. If the Pats get past the Ravens I hope we have the 49ers as our opponent in the Bowl.

    Thanks, atlanta played great, between akers missing his kick and the crabtree fumble we made things difficult but obviously delighted with the win.. Going to relax and enjoy the afc game now.

    As TO said it wasn't directed at you.

    Delighted, adrenaline still flowing out of me. I was a nervous wreck. I thought at times it wasn't going to be our night, the missed field goal (what a worry Akers is for the superbowl), the rip on Crabtree on their goal line etc. But we saw it through and got the job done. It seemed to take an age for us to get going but both offence and defence improved as the game went on. A couple of great shut outs in the fourth quarter. Going to stop now and try and catch my breath!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,361 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    I thought the 3 and out we forced after the crabtree fumble was the winning of the game. atlanta put a drive together there and they probably win the game...


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,361 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    I'm keeping this for the superbowl :-)

    No Adrian, it's not .

    I was responding to a post about concerning Crabtree being involved in an 'incident' before a big game, and the relevance is that this kind of thing has been going on for yonks,ergo Fryar incident,back in the eighties.

    Does that simple it up for you?

    Very excited I'm going to be in San Francisco for the Superbowl. Anyone got any recommendations on where to watch it? Preferably not too busy as herself wouldn't be into standing watching it for 4 hours although I'd say the whole city is going to be crazy (In a good way ;))


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,361 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    Delighted, absolutely cant wait for February 3rd...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 669 ✭✭✭mongoman


    Have to confess, I stopped watching last night I was so angry after our poor start. But what a comeback. Delighted to be playing the Ravens, better to be facing them than Brady and the Pats. My only concern is the Ravens have luck running with them though. They probably should have finished 8-8 after a couple of lucky regular season victories. Lost their last 4 games and now everything is going for them. Sometimes luck and destiny can't be beaten, the Giants had it last year. Let's just hope the Ravens runs out against us in the SB.

    Will be not so far from San Francisco during the super bowl.
    Any Boardsies planning anything who happen to be there?

    Watched the game in a Casino Sports bar in South Lake Tahoe while the rest of the lads were skiing. Place was jammed to the gills with everyone supporting the 49ers. Got there early and got a seat at the bar. Some game honestly thought they had lost it when Robinson fumbled on the 1 (think it was him?). The place when mental when the Falcons had to go for it on 4th down and was incomplete :)

    So we'll be trying to find the best place to watch the Superbowl over here, I'm sure we'll have a choice of parties :)

    Sounds like great fun alright, I'll have to settle for some pub in Dublin :(.

    It was Crabtree who fumbled by the way.

    Great article over on ESPN.com about Bill Walsh, and his legacy and a coaching manual he spent years writing, which it is claimed is a kind of coaching bible across the league.

    It's a long read but it's well worth it if you have a few mins to spare, particularly if you are a niners fan....

    Just wondering if it's that great a book why don't they reprint it.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,361 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    I'd imagine there wouldn't be a huge demand for it amongst the general public....


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,361 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    What would you think of Revis to the 49ers?

    I think if we could include Alex Smith in the deal plus maybe a mid round draft pick it would be a great bit of business, but a bit of work would need to be done on the cap to make it happen.

    Revis at SF would make for an insanely good defense, just hope he doesnt wind up in Seattle

    Given the week that's in it I thought I'd indulge in a little 49ers nostalgia. This is one of my earliest American Football memories and also probably one of Joe Montana's finest moments.

    In order to calm his team-mates before the drive began, down 3 points and a little over 2 mins remaining, he pointed out a celeb in the crowd:

    "There, in the stands, standing near the exit ramp," Montana said to tackle Harris Barton. "Isn't that John Candy?" And then he led the 49ers 92 yards, throwing for the winning touchdown with 34 seconds left.

    In non-Superbowl related news, Alex Smith is likely to ask to be released(rather than traded) so he can have a much bigger say in where he ends up.

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000131646/article/alex-smith-to-ask-san-francisco-49ers-for-his-release

    What do you think of this request? Should SF just release him as a gesture of goodwill given how well he has handled the whole situation?

    Personally I think we should be looking to trade him, starting caliber QB's are few and far between and if we can get a high draft pick or another player for him then I think that's what we should do,

    Really enjoyed watching that again, long time since I saw it. Montana, Rice, Craig, say no more!! They're the reasons I'm a 9er, in fact they're the reasons I watch NFL today!
    As for Smith, no room in this game for sentimentality or doing the right thing by him, sorry. Trade him to the very best advantage of the 49ers.
