I just hope the Niners can keep this momentum going. Singletary has done wonders with the Defense. The Niner offensive line needs to tighten up though, they really sucked last night. Hill was under pressure the whole night and Gore could not even get out of the backfield.

Oh well...

Bring on Seattle!!!

 

[Messy1]

Agree Chris. I was really impressed with the defense! I loved it when Singletary took a timeout and talked with the defense out on the field!

I can remember watching Singletary when he won the Outland award at Baylor. The one thing that immediately stood out was the intensity of the eyes. Too early to say, but I believe ya'll have a keeper there.

The local fans are whining again. Delhomme is the anti-christ.

Yeah it reminded me off an old High School football game!

Yeah my dad is a Carolina fan. He won't stop talking about Jake.

Terrible loss by the Bills tonight. They played hard all game, but a fumble near the end killed them.

Brady is back.

They lost before the fumble, Ombre. They should have taken that last NE kickoff and taken a knee. Dumb football.

That's the fumble (on the kick return) that I was talking about.

Ones in bold should make it! They were all great.

Not that many will make it. Typically less than 10 actually make it because they require 80% of the vote. Normally it is 5 to 6 that are enshrined.

 

[B-17engineer]

Ah true. Didn't realize that.

I think Theisman and Rice should make it for sure.

 

[ToughOmbre]

Problem with the NFL Hall of Fame is that they have a required minimum and maximum number of enshrinees each year, regardless of votes received.

To be elected, a finalist must receive at least 80 percent support from the Board, with at least four, but no more than seven, candidates being elected annually. If less than four candidates get 80 percent of the vote, then the top four vote-getters will get in that year. If more than seven get 80 percent, then only the top seven vote-getters will be inducted.

Better to do it the way baseball does. No restriction on the number of players. Get 75% and you're in. If nobody gets the required support, no induction that year.

BTW B-17, Joe Theisman? Joe is a Jersey boy like me but he ain't no HOFer.

J! E! T! S! JETS! JETS! JETS!

[B-17engineer]

Jets WIN WIN WIN!!!! 16-9 over the Pats, I like it

 

[B-17engineer]

Sanantonio (Correct spelling?) Holmes (Pittsburgh) Is having a great game and it's 6 minutes in!

Oh yes, and TO I think Theisman did pretty well until Lawrence Taylor completely destroyed him.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Niners starting off good against Seattle!

79 yard touchdown run by Frank Gore!!! 10-0 for the Niners right now!

Singletary is the man! He really knows how to fire up a team!

 

[B-17engineer]

Nice, I heard it on the radio on my way home from my soccer game. I was like d*m.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Go Frank Gore!!!!

The man is a beast! He just ran another 80 yards for a TD. That is two TD runs today, one for 79 yards and one for 80 yards. He has 12 carries for 206 yards and 2 touchdowns!

3rd QTR and Niners are up 20-10.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Alright 49ers! 23-10 over the Seachickens!
