Because he can.

Generally speaking, if a QB is throwing for over 300 a game, it's because his team is behind or the other team just doesn't have any corners or safeties that can cover or tackle.

In the case of the Niners vs the Fawks, I'd have to go with Flynty passing for over 300 because they're behind.

Just sayin'.

Lord help the Fawks if Flynty has to run with the ball...he's got 19 yds on 31 carries lifetime.

You're right, Petey likes to run the ball first, kind of like you guy's.

We'll see. I don't think the Niners went after receivers in free agency so they can sit back and watch Gore run into an 8 man front. I'm guessin' the Niners will open up the offense...a lot.

I hope so.....:>)

When they play the Fawks, they won't have to.

They'll save it for real football teams.

Sherman/Thurmond/Browner/Kam/Thomas....ain't going to happen foo.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Heard it last year....foo.

You guy's might be able to make the Wild Card.

Here ya go Hank.

Interesting what the panel of "experts" at ESPN are sayin'. After all of the FA signings and assorted hoo-de-roo, they came out with their NFL Power Ranking. The Niners come in 4th behind the Gnats, Pats and Pack; in that order.

If you get out your binoculars and look waaaaaaaaaay down their list, you'll find the Fawks at 22. Looks like they're not thinkin' those Fawks will be sniffin' a wild card.

Gotta love flying under the radar.

Wasn't there a recent thread about those daredevils of the air without any particular skills?

huh?

Well if you look at the 2011 Pre season power rankings (#1 Eagles, #2 Saints, #3 Jets, #4 Steelers) then you would know you shouldn't bet on what the experts think!

WalterFootball has the Niners at #6 and the Fawks at #25 this year.

He doesn't think too highly of the Fawks.

"I have no idea what the Seahawks are going to do. They're in that tough spot, where they're not good enough to make the playoffs (not happening since the 49ers are great), but they're not bad enough to land a franchise quarterback. Seattle has gone 7-9 two years in a row now, and I don't see its win total changing dramatically in the next couple of years."

Well seeing how Walter Football had the Giants ranked 16 and the 49rs ranked 30 last year in their preseason rankings, I figure the rankings are about as good toilet paper.

I put those up for (my) amusement purposes only. They have the Gnats at #1 again this year and I don't think they'll be that good. I don't think the Fawks will be as bad as they say either. They should be able to split with the Cards and the Rams and I'll stick with my earlier 9-7 prediction for 'em.


(0-2 against the Niners. )

This guy's going to have a break out year!

Incredibly this year, of all wide receivers in the league only one avoided putting the ball on the ground. That man was Seattle Seahawks receiver Golden Tate who caught all 35 catchable balls thrown his way. This wasn’t exactly the biggest surprise in the world as Tate has only dropped one ball (Week 13 versus Carolina in 2010) since entering the league. His perfect Drop Rate score just adds to our feeling (he scored a +5.2 for his receiving) that Tate’s playing time in 2012 needs to replicate the end to his 2011, and not the beginning.
