    Grateful tonight for a petulant child

    As I have explained to you before: none are so blind as those who will not see. Harbaugh is not even a Top 5 paid coach. They couldn't get a deal done last off-season because, in Jed's own words, Harbaugh does not have the leverage of winning a Super Bowl. I almost felt bad for you, but I...

    Grateful tonight for a petulant child

    Demand is the operative word. Jed is demanding a Super Bowl like he demanded a Porsche for his 16th birthday. He has made it a condition on which Harbaugh's future within the organization rests. Winning a Super Bowl takes a combination of luck and skill. That's no way to motivate someone...

    Grateful tonight for a petulant child

    This is what Jed York decided to talk about publicly right before the 49ers are set to enter the playoffs: Sure you do . . . you cheap, overpaid, overprivileged, petulant child in a three-piece suit. You're talking like you know a damn thing about what it takes to win a Super Bowl, or...

    Okung out vs. Arizona

    Arians says he may use two QB's next Sunday...

    I'm familiar with both Kerwynn Williams and Stepfan Taylor from watching them play in college. They are both good backs. Williams is particularly impressive. As you say, I wouldn't sleep on those guys, not with the way the 49ers were running on us.

    272.4 and 273.6

    This year's defense is now slightly better in yards allowed per game. But they are still worse in points per game: 14.4 last season vs. 17.3 this year. Even if they shut out their next two opponents, this year's defense would still average over 15 per game. Statistically, we are actually...

    Niner fans have no right complaining about calls

    Referee Ed Hochuli explains the roughing the passer call: I don't agree with him. I think the contact with the "hairline" of the helmet was incidental and that the player did a good job keeping his head up while he drove through to make the tackle. In the rules, it requires a "lowering of the...

    Seahawks hangover claims it's 8th victim

    Very interesting, teams appear to be upping their game to play the champs and then are left burned out the next week. Thanks for posting this.

    Pre Snap Penalties

    Sweezy has been dominant at times this year, playing at a near Pro Bowl level if he cleans up some of his issues in pass pro. To get a full-time starter over the last three years with a 7th Round pick is unbelievable. Britt was an excellent draft choice. Without him, we would have been pretty...

    Top five positions of need

    Nine months later . . . I would argue these remain the Top 5 positions of need for the team. We badly need an OT, who excels in pass pro, to develop behind Okung and push Britt. If Bailey moves to LG to replace Carpenter, that leaves Garry Gilliam as the lone backup OT on the roster. We also...

    Carroll on half time adjustments and the running game

    Britt...

    No. 1, it was a critical draft choice, given the lack of success of virtually every other OT in this rookie class and the fact that Michael Bowie suffered a season-ending injury and then was claimed off waivers with an injury designation. To continue to run the football like we need to, there...

    Carroll on half time adjustments and the running game

    My bad. Fixed.

    Carroll on half time adjustments and the running game

    Carroll implied there were "four or five" missed opportunities to get Lynch the football in the first half and that this was corrected at half time. http://www.seahawks.com/videos-photos/v ... 9f10766e74

    Grateful tonight for a petulant child

    Jed York - Thank you for being the petulant child that you are. Thank you for taking over your storied franchise at the tender age of 27. Thank you so, so much for thinking you know a damn thing about the game of football, despite having never played a down past grade school and having never...

    What Was Carroll Thinking?

    Personally, I would have preferred to force Colin Kaepernick to pass on 3rd and 6 (and then perhaps 4th and 6). He's not very good at completing passing in those situations at the end of games. And it plays more to the strength of our defense.

    How the Seahawks get the #1 Seed

    Green Bay plays @Tampa Bay (2-12). Detroit plays @Chicago (5-8 with Monday night game against Saints and a short week). Both games start at 1 PM ET. We will know several hours before our 8:30 PM ET kickoff whether we control our own destiny for home field advantage. Green Bay is favored by...

    Richardson's Touchdown....Not a TD??

    If you look at the rule for possession, it requires clearly controlling "the ball throughout the act of clearly touching both feet, or any other part of his body other than his hand(s), to the ground inbounds." That's what Richardson did here by securing the football and then rolling to the...

    Richardson's Touchdown....Not a TD??

    As you say, he catches it and rolls over with possession. He then sets the football down pretty quickly.

    Is Matt Barkley really that bad that Sanchez starts

    I think really, really bad. Weak arm, erratic decision making, no mobility. There's a reason he fell to the 4th Round.
