Come Inside My Head, if You Dare…
David Akers!
Direct from Harbaugh’s mouth – Akers Will Kick on Saturday!
Whew, I was sweating this decision all week. Now I can sleep peacefully, knowing that #2 will be playing in the playoff game against the Packers.
Things are now the way they should be 🙂
Pun intended, but I’m not laughing. In fact, I am ranting now. To you poor people, because y’all are incredible listeners, and I haven’t figured out a way to rant directly to the 49er’s coaching staff. Yet.
A place-kicker has a crappy day (maybe two) and it’s “Sorry, you’re fired”. And suddenly, Mr. newly hired Kicker appears from out of the NFL’s kicker’s pool. Do they really think that is where the better kickers come from? Are they thinking at all?
Our awesome leg man, David Akers, who helped get the 49ers to the playoffs 2 years in a row, and tied the NFL record with a 63-yard field goal, could be replaced by a kicker that has never played with the 49er’s before this week’s playoff game. I’m sure Billy Cundiff is a good kicker. But David Akers is OUR kicker, dammit! David has saved the 49er’s ass many more times than he didn’t. And yet, it’s all his fault for us not beating the Rams.
Seriously? Are the 49er’s management staff watching the games? Well I am, and they should be aware of the following:
David Akers has NEVER, EVER:
None of our “star” players can say that.
And yet, they will fire David, because it’s all his fault. How convenient for our receivers, tight-ends, corners and QBs. They won’t have to worry about their place on the team. Well… Alex Smith may worry considering the franchises loyalty issues of late.
David won’t be the first kicker to go like this, and probably not the last.
Watch out Billy Cundiff – you’re next …
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 😉
