Irvin inactive

[dukestar]

Was over on the 49ers forum and saw that a lot of them are pissed at their team for taking dumb penalties and wishing that Harbaugh would sit some of their stars (Boldin FYI) to send a message. Got me thinking about being surprised when I saw the inactives for today and Irvin was out. Do you think Pete was sending a message that dumbass drive extending penalties will not be tolerated by anyone regardless of status?

He was inactive because he has a rib injury.

Is the rib injury legit or is the team letting him save face publicly? I heard him on 710 on Thursday and he was claiming he felt great. Personally I think a message is being sent and he'll be good to go in Washington.

The upside is nobody can blame him for not playing up to par this week.

He has been inactive all season
