holy.. former eagles coach chip Kelly hired by 49'ers?!
refresher for those who don't follow him:
Eagle's owner about firing chip Kelly- lacks "emotional intelligence" and "accountability"


I think this article hits the spot about the 49ers hiring him:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2607942-chip-kelly-and-the-49ers-are-the-worst-match-imaginable

-former 49ers head coach clashed w/owner, so he quit to coach at his college alla matta
- owner 'promotes the guy who wiped down the weight benches to head coach' (that's what the article said) :lol:
-now owner hires Chip Kelly, the Worst Match Imaginable for the 49ers

He's had one losing season in a year he was rebuilding with his own personnel. Too early to tell how he'll do, he clearly succeeded with Nick Foles. That is saying a lot right there.

Philly was dumb for keeping Roseman instead of Chip. The Pederson hire is awful, just awful. Philly is going to suck for years now.

I think he's talking about the Bengals being screwed for that not being called a penalty and/or Porter being tossed from the game by the refs. If anything he got off easy and should be suspended a game, although at this point it may not matter with ABrown and DWill both confirmed out.

Yep, anyone want to change their pick last minute to Denver instead of Pitt (who is about to get their sht pushed in by that defense)? Denver would beat them even with Antonio Brown. Beating Denver at home is a whole 'nother ballgame than on the road. They've only lost twice at home and both losses were fluky: 1 was the Manning 4 pick game, and the other was the Khalil Mack 5 sack game (which Denver stupidly didn't change protection at the half and they still only lost by 3). Good teams they've beaten at home: Vikings, Packers, Bengals, Patriots. Impressed yet? Pitt is in for a world of hurt without Brown and D-Will.

All I saw were Edelman and Gronk dominate. He wasn't as good last year as this year, the pressure numbers were worse last year.

Fair enough, they were the one's getting open most of the time but he also threw a strike to Lafelle and another strike to Amendola for TD's. Remember as well that Bennett was practically un-blockable and Brady paid dearly for completing some of those passes. Anyone who thinks Matt Cassell could have pulled them out from a 10 point deficit just as easily is just nuts. IMHO Butler bailed out Bill B since for some moronic reason he did not call a TO. Some of BB's decisions in big games have me in "WTF" mode, in the first loss to the Giants he went for a 4th and 13 rather than try a 44yrd FG, guess he didn't notice the Giants D rag-dolling his QB every other down. We lost by 3.

And Ben cannot possibly be anywhere near close to 100% after the beating he took last week. Fucking dumb-ass Bengals, I wanted them to travel to Denver and beat up on the Broncos so the Pats might actually have a chance of winning there LOL.

Agree, it would have been a better game if it was vs the Bengals because Dalton would have been back.

If you guys forgot what Denver D did this year:

That Von Miller sack strip on Derek Carr was spectacular.

Also a Steelers diss rap song that isn't half bad:

IMO it all comes down to how PM hold up in the playoff's, yea, the D is really solid but I don't think Brock gets them a ring, I may be wrong but I just don't see it happening.

Already picked DEN but don't have much conviction in the pick even without those guys. Broncos offense just seems so meh and their defense can't win by themselves the next 3 games.

Cool, thanks, almost game-time Mr Snail and I have to say the Chiefs do scare me, they have the needed cover people on the back end and they have people who can get to Brady. I don't see the Pats pulling an effective running attack out of a hat missing Blount either. Throw in the fact that Smith is very smart, throws few mistakes and will scramble on a 3rd and 9 for the 1st. IMO nothing breaks the back of a defense worse than fighting their ass off to get to a 3rd and long and see the QB scamper up to move the chains. If KC prevails here today I will be hoping they win SB#50.

Yeah, whatever happens, let's hope for a non-injury game. Both teams are banged up in more ways than one. But I believe whoever wins this game will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.

I think it really comes down to just how well PFM can play. If he plays like shit tomorrow, definitely the team winning today is going to the SB. If he plays like the PFM of old, Denver has a real shot.

True that, KC has what Seattle lacked in the SB, back-end coverage, there is no "weak link" for Brady to exploit.
 
So much for the "Gronk is in bad shape" story, I think BB was trying to confuse KC by listing him as having knee and back problems.
 
Yikes, talk about dodging a bullet, Edeleman should have caught that pass easily and before that Brady with the poor throw to Amendola, can't make those mistakes vs this good of an opponent.
 
Dumb hit by Amendola, WTF was that supposed to accomplish, no one was even running the punt back anyway, way to fire up the other team for no reason whatsoever.
