Greenbay with two def. touchdowns. Going to be a long day for SD.

GB sure doesn't seem to be able to handle Tolbert. VJax is having a monster day, too.

But I don't know how anyone will stop the GB offense.

Philip Rivers has become the NFL's greatest philanthropist, trying to give the ball away at every turn.

[Hammer]

Tebow looks better than Palmer so far.

[revo]

arrgh -- there's the throw-off-the-back -foot for a critical INT Eli we haven't seen for a few games....

Aaron Rodgers takes apart defenses the same way a geneticist takes apart DNA.

[JudeBaldo]

MANNNNING! Holy cow. In Brady's backyard. LOL

We'll see you in the NFC Championship Game bud.

[JudeBaldo]

Cmon Chargers! I need more Aaron Rodgers to ice my opponent.

[Judge Jude]

The Broncos under Tebow move within a game of the AFC West lead.

Yes, really.

And if the 49ers lose their last 8 games, there's a good chance they will win their division anyway.

Hue Jackson/Derrius Heyward-Bey can go die in fires.

I hope so.

Watched some of the 49ers today, to escape the 1st-half horror that was the Jets-Bills (so from frying pan to fire, yes).

Was not won over by Niners, to be honest. The Redskins are a mediocre HS offense at this point, so your offense gets plenty of chances. But only one TD all day - and that on a 1-play, 30-yard "house money" drive after a Redskins guy carrying a loaf of bread/football fumbled in his own territory with a minute left in the 1st half.

I noted the other day that the Redskins actually have a very good defense, but ..... well, next week it's Giants at Niners. I WAS impressed by the Giants today, obviously.

I agree. I thought our win was as "ho hum" as an NFL win could be. I saw some nice things from Alex Smith though. That slant is becoming his favorite route. Can't wait for the Giants, Ravens, and the Steelers. Those will be true tests of who this team is.

[Judge Jude]

Wait, if I can't get Jude the Younger riled up, then I have failed!


Not a Giants fan, either, but I agree with your assessment. The 49ers did manage the game pretty well, at least, however uneventful it was. One dreadful mistake on the road in a low-scoring game, and you could see things go awry.
