Glad you remember SoCal... I agree wholeheartedly. If he had been hit by Jeremy Lane then I don't see a flag. He wasn't a defenseless receiver and he didn't have control of the ball. It was form tackling, knocking a guy out of bounds (the league did away with the force out rule remember, so.... there you go), and he was making sure to jar the ball loose and assure he didn't get his feet down. Totally clean play. The real problem with it was that Kaep hung him out to dry. He was NOT a receiver crossing the middle and getting lit up. Totally clean scenario, and I've had said it if it had happened to Miller or McCoy.

I hope they remember that Willis play on Hass. Many called it dirty. It broke Matt's ribs and messed up his back. But it was almost identical. You're trying to stop a key play and you legally hit the guy hard to prevent a possible score (remember, VD was inside the 5 on this play as was Matt). I felt Willis' hit was legal and he's a clean player, but he was tougher than Matt. I feel in the same way that Kam's play was clean and legal and he's a clean player, and he's just tougher than VD (at least he was on that play!).

Keep on rollin' Hawks.

whoa guys im not saying "yay we injured them"
im saying the situation now being what it is i think sf is in bad shape going into the playoffs.

key injuries,
scheme exposure,
doubts at quarterback direction,

dood man give him a break, we don't know what type of medications he is taking for his heart problems or what kind of side effects they may have on him, clowning around is all good but heart issues are serious and Jim deserves that kind of respect, he just wants to win in this league like everyone else..

GO HAWKS!!!

Demoralizing one's opponent is always more effective than injuring them. I don't need to visit a 9er forum to know that and I likely never will.

1.> Key injuries= ALL teams at this point in the Season are just a fact of life ,Who's @ fault?, Harbaugh's, he should have his backups tuned and ready to go in an instant's notice....Pete seems to be able to shag out players to come in and put up a decent fight, enough so that the drop off isn't a cliff.

2.> scheme exposure= Harbaugh going to the well too many times, giving the competition a good indicator.

3.> Doubts @ Quarterback direction= poor preparation for getting the O-line up to snuff on how to handle Defenses that are looking in the direction of your scrambling Quarterback....Pete had Russell on a shortend leash until he could acclimate him to Bevels schemes, and tying in with Cables O-line.
Once Wilson showed Pete that he could thrive while under pressure, and slip Defenses, Pete got rid of that tether.

Kaepernick isn't quite as adept at sorting out NFL Defensive schemes as Wilson, but I believe Wilsons height forced him to adapt and speed-read his way to succeeding, where others like Kaepernick have been more naturally dependant on their size to succeed.
RGIII (like Cam Newton) has been using it for several years and he too is trusting his athleticism and size to keep him in contention.

Yeah, he's just one of the boys trying to make his way. LMAO.
What we witnessed in that interview was nothing more than his crushed ego. He has always been an arrogant SOB and the Hawks prescribed the perfect "medication" for him tonite....a good ass-whuppin. "Jim" can kiss my ass.
