Mike Dawson Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 You guys are attacking New England's offensive line as if they had a great line when they won the superbowl 2 years ago. They haven't had a decent running game since Curtis Martin went to the Jets, but they've won games with defense and special teams. With the addition of Colvin and Harrison on defense, the Patties are going to be a defensive force again. They won't need the tuck rule to win it all this year. *Howard Zinn for President* **Pilsner Urquell for President of Beers!** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thrashole Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I will refrain from making too many demeaning comments regarding the silver and black until they play a real game. the pats defense will be pretty good this year but they still have to score some points to win games. solid line play on both sides of the ball is the key to making it through the season and beyond in my opinion.

SFOracle Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 The whole Mooch firing thing was such a shady deal. Too many egos in the SF Front office. Apparently, when Mooch entered negotiations ona new contract he asked for say in personell decisions - but Mooch denies this. Mooch did say that Bill Walsh spread this as a rumour to Donahue and York and the next thing he knew he was getting a phone call from Dr. York in the middle of the night screaming at him. Mooch deserved a bit more loyalty from the organization. He was hired as coach by Carmen Policy - who skipped for Cleveland taking Clark with him (that was a good thing as the Policy - Clark years were very poor management). For a short period, there was no GM, the owner (Eddie DeBartello) was under suspension and fueding outright with his sister who was representing the family ownership position temporarily, we were facing massive salary cap issues, a draft and there was no management. Mooch and Tom McVay held it together (and had a winning season) until the Yorks, Eddie and the NFL sorted out the ownership picture, hired a GM (Donahue) and setup a front office. Mooched coached a winning season when Jerry Rice went down (and Owens emerged), and if Garrison Heast was not injured in the last game of the season, we might have gone all the way that year. True - now Donahue and Walsh went out and got Garcia and Charlie Garner for bargain basement prices, enabling us to add some mid range free agents to fill in the holes, and we drafted well (Andre Carter, Julian Peterson, Ahmed Plummer, Jamie Winborn etc.), but I think a lot of the credit for the dramatic turnaround from 4-12 to 12-4 was coaching. Ericksen's first NFL stint in Seattle was an unmitigated disaster. In fact I would say he was largely responsible for destroying a former rookie of the year QB Rick Meyer. But he did a great job of rebuilding in Oregon, so I won't be calling for his head yet. And you're right, with Garcia possibly out, the loss of Chike OKeafor at LDE, the loss of Dana Stubblefield at DT and now Bryant Young to miss the next 2 weeks following surgery, Ericksen will get a pass the first year. But next year is not too promising either. The front office has failed so far to negotiate a contract extension for Terrell Owens. We also have a bunch of young free agents next year including Julian Peterson, Ahmed Plummer, Jason Webster, Tai Streets and John Engleberger.

meccajay Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Sorry to hear about all that SF Oracle. It's better when were all looking forward to and enjoying our teams season's. Well, no consalation, but look at it this way, we all go thru dissapointments here at sometime during the season('cept for phil last year), At least you don't get your heart broken late in the season/playoffs like we will.

SFOracle Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I'm not totally pessemistic about the 49ers this year. Denise Ericksen seems like an intelligent guy and he was hugely successful at both Miami and Oregon State. Some of his mediocre record in Seattle could be attributed to really poor ownership. I still think Marriuci got a raw deal, but he has a great chance to start over in Detroit - with another young team and promising young QB. If Jeff Garcia's back is good to go in the next couple of weeks - at least we will have had a chance to see much more or Tim Rattay, Brandon Doman and Ken Dorsey. Of the bunch, I think Dorsey is the QB of the future. Most of the team that won the NFC West last year is intact, and the team is fairly young, so many of these players are now into their 3rd season and set to breakout.

Eric Worthington Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 This thread is way out of control already! Nine pages?!? And a lot of it has nothing to do with the Eagles whatsoever! Anyway, my question is, do the ESPN anchors just make stuff up? I was watching highlights of the Eagles game, where McNabb connects with Freddie Mitchell for an opening drive touchdown. The woman says, "And McNabb hooks up with his favorite receiver Freddie Mitchell, who has led the Eagles in receptions the last two years." WHAT? Mitchell has been on the team the last two years, and that's about all. I don't think he's ever even led the team in catches for one game. And he can't be McNabb's "favorite receiver" when he's rarely played, doesn't get open when he does, and therefore doesn't get passes thrown his way. This year could be his breakout (we said the same thing last year, BTW), but ya gotta wonder sometimes about those anchors (sports and real news) and how they can sweepingly (mis)characterize something in one (completely erroneous) sentence.

Or perhaps it's just carelessness, or whatever. ESPN is still the best sports broadcaster, I believe, thugh Fox does good work for certain events.

Postman Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Oh, boy, I can hardly talk. I'm... I'm overwhelmed. I just finished watching the first half of the Oakland/San Francisco game and I, well, I'm starting to see the light. There's a certain palpable feeling up here in Denver, and I'm not afraid to say that's it's -- this is hard to say -- fear. Yes, fear. I mean, phew, that Oakland first team offense. Wow! How can any team compete with such a... a machine. Twenty-four points in just a few possesions, I don't know how any team could be so efficient -- wait, my memory is failing me (so embarrassing), it wasn't twenty-four, it was twenty-seven, right? Or was it twenty-one? I can't remem-- oh, it's coming to me, uh, uh, yes! They scored Z E R O Nada. Nil. Zip. Nothin'. Bupkus. Gosh, how can the Broncos ever hope to compete with a team that scores zero points in a half? I think the Broncos should just forfeit. You know, save us Coloradans the humiliation.

Postman Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Seriously, it was a tough night for the Raider O, but there were some good things to note.

meccajay Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 That was about the worst pre-season game so far this year, Fargus was the shiznik! I wonder what he'd have done if not for the damn penalties. Maybe 200 yards?! The 1st team Offense looked awful for the Raiders, and Friso doesn't even have a 1st team offense yet, but as mentioned it's pre-season. The O-line for Oakland is way outta sync, and Gannon looked very tentative and unconfident, but he'll get his mojo back by reg season week 2(week 1-vs Titan's). Oh well, don't want to be too critical cause my Titan's are on ESPN tommorrow night. TROLL . . . ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Klopmeyer Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 As you all know (since you're knowledgeable fans, right?), pre-season is a nice time for new people to try out for the team, and for starters to warm up a little. Historically, there's been little correlation between pre-season performance and regular season win/loss record. While Rick Mirer did fine, but he's not the guy who'll be leading the Raiders to another AFC title. So, in case your memories are short (and whose aren't?), here's a little press quote from last year at this time: "Meanwhile, Oakland has played dismally in exhibition losses to Dallas and Tennessee. The Raiders' defense allowed five touchdowns and a field goal in the first three possessions of both games, while the offense has yet to show its strength despite the return of nearly every regular from last season."

The Thrashole Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Ok but If plummer fired off that kind of preformance we would be hearing a ton of flack from the raider brigade.
