Falcons @ Niners, Gabbert era is underway!

[RolandDeschain]

Never understood why somebody would go to a game and wear a jersey of neither team that was playing.
Admire the guys fortitude :{)

Probably lives in the area and got a free ticket from a friend, or something. In which case, game on, broheim.

Why do you kick the FG there?

Rather pin my opponent by their goalline if I failed to score the TD

They probably think they can make it back for a field goal for the win.

Agree 100%.

Thanks for doing us a solid 49ers. Need the Falcons to lose a couple more. Looks like we will get gabbert in two weeks

I get that but let's play it out

You kick for three, kickoff, they bring it from 20yard line to 25 and you stop them

They punt you start on your 30 and need 40 yards

Opposite. You go for a TD - make it and things are good right. Up 3 so can even allow a FG
You fail - opponent takes ball

Any sack and you have a safety and the ball.

You have to hold them regardless of what you decided to do so this means punter doesn't hame much room and you should expect the ball at midfield.

You need 50 yards

Going for it is by FAR the best option.

This would be a Grantland "thank you for not coaching"

I would say depends on what your forte is...offense or defense. Ours is Defense. So punch it in if possible or defend them backwards. Agree with you by the way. I was just mouthing for what the mouthbreathers were saying on tv.

Quinn is so used to suffocating the 49er offense, you can't blame him.

I said this early in the season, but the Falcons are not a good team. The same old team we saw last year. The only difference is that they are arguably playing the NFL's easiest schedule.....EVER. The schedule toughens up for them now. I don't think they make the playoffs now, even at 6-3. They get the Colts and Vikings at home following the bye. Still two remaining games with Carolina, who typically own them. Still have to travel to JAX and Tampa. And then they finish up against the Saints at home. I think 3-4 at best, maybe 2-5. Even if they do go 3-4 to finish out the year, I don't think 9 wins gets you a wildcard spot.

The fact that they just lost to TB and SF should tell you how bad they are.

Fullback Bruce Miller was used on half the snaps .......

 

[Hasselbeck]

As expected, Gabbert named the starter against the Seahawks (they're on a bye this coming week)

Need to beat Arizona then just break the 49ers spirit once and for all.

To echo Radish, if Gabbert is the answer, then what in the hell was the question?

How can the niners upgrade their QB position?

Somehow, the NFL.com power rankings have the Falcons at #8. This is the exact reason why I almost never look at power rankings. The only reason they are ranked that high is because of their record. They have three horrible losses: NO, Tampa and SF. Tampa and SF are two bottom 5 teams. NO's isn't much better, they just gave up 10 passing TD's in their past two games.

And looking at these power rankings, I just realized how many bad NFL teams there are. Somehow there are 6 teams that are behind the Niners. It seems like this year more than ever, there are a lot of bad teams.
