For Fuck's Sake stand still (A Niner Rant)

Offensive linemen

Okay let’s review. Your assignment is to get in your stance and stand still for like 5-10 seconds. This is your function in life other than to block after those 5-10 seconds are up. Fucking do your job!!! You killed more drives than the Rams defense you idiots.

Defensive Linemen you don’t get off easy either.

They do hard counts in pick up foot ball, pewee football, highschool football and college football. You dumbasses act as if you’ve never seen it before!!!

Cedric, yeah you! The best or is it worst for last.

Let me see, the games on the line. There are nine seconds left. A quick go route down the line, catch the ball get out of bounds to stop the clock or go down at a hit and call time out. The field home unit comes in Niners win. What do you do? You break tackles and head for the interior of the field. You sir are a class a-grade moron.

Mental mistakes cost us a fucking game we should have won.

You call yourselves proffesionals. :smack:

In fairness, although you didn’t cost us the game, I just need to point something out to you Jeff. See that 6’3 Wide Receiver guy in the 81 jersey? He’s been covered all game by a 5’11 safety. In the NFL that’s called… [size=huge]OPEN/SIZE]!!!

This is obviously very important to you, isn’t it? Sadly, it’s just one of those things. As rants go, it’s not universal unfortunately.

4 out of 10 on the Boo Boo angry meter. No offence intended! (smile)

It’s very hard for us non Americans to get worked up about American sport. So few of us outside the USA play it.

I do like the San Francisco 49’ers though. Cool uniforms.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

If the 49ers were all that great, they shouldn’t have had to be driving down the field trying for the wiunning score, should they?

No.

If the 49ers were any good they’d have put the game out of reach with 8 minutes left in the 1st quarter.

Please re-read the section you cut and pasted. If you’ll notice my main point in saying:

Which in fact refers to the Niners O-Line having a lousy game. Not sure how you missed it, being right at the front and all.

Incidentally did you see the words great anywhere my this post? I can’t find it. Maybe you should check your settings. Yours are obviously set for “Read Shit that ain’t there.” Let me guess,l Raiders fan?

Boo Boo Foo Yeah it’s an American thing. It just pissed me off that basically mental mistakes lost us the game.

I’m not especially a Niners fan, although my girlfriend is from SF and says that they should be my second team. :slight_smile:

But may i just use this occasion to bitch–again and again-- about the NFL’s fucking absurd overtime rules? The idea that a team can win in overtime wthout the other team even getting its hands on the ball is the most unbelievably fucked up thing i’ve ever seen in sport. It’s even dumber than the designated hitter.

Although, having watched the Ohio State/NC State game yesterday, i don’t think the college OT system is much better. Hand the ball to the team just outside the red zone and say “Here, take a shot”? How fucking stupid. Play the game properly.

The only real consolation i got from the Rams win over SF is that St. Louis seems to be following last yar’s patter–lose when Warner is QB, and win when he’s not. And anything that makes Kurt Warner loook bad is fine by me!

Finally, as a Ravens fan, i have only two words to say:

Jamal Lewis!!!

That’ll teach me to post when non-sober. This…

Should read…

Why not rant once more about the NFL’s stupid “coin toss wins the game” overtime rules? I don’t want them to have the college overtime, which is equally stupid, but JEEZ, Tags, make it either “win by 6” or “both teams have to have the ball before someone can win”.

I already did rant about that!

Look two posts above your own. :slight_smile:

No way, the only thing dumber than the DH is the GWRBI* stat, which they finally had the guts to rid themselves of.

[sub]* Game winning run batted in[/sub]

:wink:

Hey, and da Raidahs finally won, though ugly.

The NFL’s overtime format doesn’t bother me very much, although the idea of having to win by six points seems quite sensible.
