Some May Call It Overkill

Not me. This 49er Faithful calls today’s game against Tampa Bay a BUC-kicking triumph! It’s not everyday that we score 45 points more than our opponent. In fact there wasn’t any day, until today.

In 2002 we scored 41 points more than the Charger’s (I’m pretty sure it was the Chargers, but I am no stat queen). That was a very good year for us. We made it to the playoffs that year. I am not going to jinx this season by making any predictions based on one really, really good game. Too bad the media is already doing just that. They are so fickle.

I am happy for Alex. He is finally able to play some football with a sturdy offensive line, and a coach that believes in him. I know I did my share of ranting about Alex, but I NEVER booed him from the stands. Shame on fans that boo any of our guys! Boo the refs, Boo the dirty players on the other team, but don’t boo our own. That is treason. Period.

Can’t wait until next week! I plan to start teaching my granddaughter about football 😉

49er’s Squeak By Eagles

October 5, 2011 ~ JodiLea

4th week of the NFL and I am exhausted. My 49er’s are 3-1 (Yeah!!) after beating the Eagles today – by 1 little point.

I had to take aspirin and a nap after the game because of my Force induced headache. My fingernails are chewed up and the inside of my right cheek is gnawed raw. The TMJ is beginning to add to the misery. I just don’t handle game day stress like I used to.

What is a Force induced headache? It’s when you concentrate with every ounce of your being, to will the play(s) to go your teams way. I had to use the Force a lot today. It paid off in the last half of the game when we got our Mo-Jo going, and took the game back. Whew! That one was too, too close.

I don’t really believe that I can influence the game. I also don’t believe that I help 737’s overcome gravity and gain altitude. And I certainly do not believe that using the Force, crossing my fingers and chanting “please, please, please” will fix the computer system I’m working on.

But then, why take any chances?

Close, But No Cigar

“Well, at least the pressure of an undefeated season is behind us now…” – 49er Faithful

“Aw, Shucks! That Sucks!”
– Former 49er Cheerleader

That pretty much sums up my feelings about today’s outcome. Both teams played well, both made a few mistakes. A good game until the 49ers ran out of steam in the middle of the last quarter. The Cowboy’s had more stamina than we did so they were able to keep on getting ‘er done – until they won. Daggnabbit!!

I guess we better do some work on our endurance, huh coach?
