Personally, I thought the bigget travesty of the weekend was when the Saints met the Rams and got screwed on a bad call late in the game. Cam Cleeland obviously caught the pass, maintained possession, and was down by contact when the Rams defender(Furrey) stripped the ball (the officials called it an interception) and ran it in for a touchdown making it a 2 possession game with under 2 minutes to go. Unfortunately the Saints had no more timeouts for a Coach’s challenge, and since the play started before the 2 minute warning, the booth couldn’t call for review. You could see the entire Saints team look like someone had gut-punched them. It was simply heart-wrenching.

Ring: I hope so, too!

Matt: Ya think? I’ve not been paying much attention to them. What kind of numbers is Peyton putting up this year?

PCD: I saw the last half of that game because our local affiliate here apprently decided that the Cowboys/Redskins game was no longer worth watching. Saw the kick at the end of the game too … that was a heartbreaker for you guys!

I wish the Pack had picked up Kevin Stemke. At least he was a local product, and a good punter.

57 yards. Well, Edinger earned it.

Back to sulking.

Oh well, when they were good, they were very, VERY good. And then there is this year… LOL!

Look at the bright side, Barlow is still running good for SF, and they’ve got… sorry, I’m drawing a blank on what else they have. Memories?

I’m just shocked that Washington put up those kind of numbers. Until today, the ‘Skins had been rudderless. Just as the 49′ers seemed to scatter to the winds, the ‘Skins seemed to congeal into a formidable offensive force. If Ramsey was still the primary QB in Washington, the game might have been different.

Look at the bright side, Tampa Bay is next week and the Bucs are in a major hurt right now. The only team in worse physical shape than the Bucs is the StL Rams – the one team SF HAS beaten this year.

Peace! And Happy Pig-skinning!

I saw a newsclip of a Reskin doing a cartwheel today!

Carol: LOL! I take it you’re a Dallas fan? A little known factoid about me was that before we moved here to Charlotte in 1980, I was a Dallas Cowboys fan. I loved Roger Staubach and Tony Dorsett and Tom Landry. My father raised me to like the Cowboys (and the Braves in baseball). We moved here and I became interested in the fact that a ‘hometown hero’ (Dwight Clark) played for the 9ers and I’ve been a fan ever since.

Dana: I’ve heard all about the OR’s woes … one of my friends is a huge Raiders fan and relays his disappointment every week. I root for ‘em, for his sake, but maybe I should stop – then they’d start winning

Brian: Wow – that’s cool you’ve got that game on tape. That was THE game, as far as I’m concerned. I hope you’re right on them returning to their glory days sooner rather than later.

ST, I actually have that game on tape, and last summer I put it on DVD so I could keep it forever. Montana was always pulling games out like that. The best ever.

It is painful to watch them these days, but I’m sure that soon (the next few years) they’ll iron out the kinks and get back to the way they were in the 1980s, when they dominated.

It’s probably a good thing I was trapped all day at work. My Niners got crushed (yet again) by the Washington Redskins, 52-17. Sigh….I need to jump on a new bandwagon. I did hear at work today that they traded Rattay to the Buccaneers. Good move…

Ah feel yo’ pain!
