Monday night game(s) thread

Just do it anyway Boss, why wait?

Hyde is destroying the Vikes

should be a flag for any other team to jump into the stands after a score...

Getting gashed like a Packers defense.

Eddie will have a field day.

 

Again.

TOUCHDOWN! Who else but King Carlos Hyde he takes a short ball from his Quarterback Kaepernick and the seas of Babylon opened up because all the blocking men did their job and a top runner like Carlos was always going to run through that sort of hole. Touchdown, 49ers. Fabulous Phil Dawson knocks over the extra digit and it’s Niners 17 leading Vikings 3.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!

Great throw, Teddy

What happens when Teddy throws downfield.

Undisputed first place in the division with a one game lead.

 

Not a bad first week at all.

How could this be? They were 4-0 in the all important preseason.

Too busy arguing with Chip over the trophy.

How many rubes in the media had the Vikings as their sneaky good team this year?  

 

Sadly, they weren't undefeated. They lost their last game (Tennessee I think). 

Via the Guardian blog:

 

Niners ball. Ball loose. What? Kaepernick dropped the hut-hut ball, I think. Glanced away. So fast is this game. 2nd and ten, now..Give it to Carlos? Why not. He’s like John Riggins, another name from olden times. There’s Adrian Peterson on the big screen, a fine and shiny bald head, watching on as Carlos Hyde goes nearly all the way.

 

 

 

Niners kick off. The ball goes dead in the end zone. And the Vikings have to score a lot of points in not very much time. Teddy Bridgewater getting some instruction - Throw a touchdown pass, you fool! - and they’re first and 10 on the 20. He throws to No.12, a huge man looks not unlike Flash Gordon in the hit film from 1980, Flash Gordon. First down. Complete, to Kyle Rudolph, another big yin who wouldn’t be laughed out a Flash Gordon lookalike convention, if they have such a thing, you’d suggest they do.

He does have a shiny head.  Wonder if he uses product?

Niners lose about half their defense and they still get after teams with fast, aggressive play and sure tackling

 

 

I need an official ruling here. Does this mean Zim is 0-8 against teams with a winning record? I mean, the 49ers don't have a winning record yet. But they will. And it's against the Vikings. And the Vikings suck. And they've never won a Super Bowl. 

 

So, 0-8 right? 

Say goodnight Gracie!

It's not the score 670, but it should still be entertaining!

Continuing a losing streak?

 

NO 1 already. Woohoo!

Bridgewater not terrible but not impressive either. D has holes too. Paper Tiger.

I'll reserve judgement on 9ers until they play a real team. But like CAPackFan said their D can tackle.

Packers win, everybody else in the division loses. Great week!

Trent Dilfer should be jailed. 

ESPN is going to put Trent and Skip Bayless in the booth together and try to break the internet. 

        Goodnight Gracie.

I'm glad I fell asleep, yeesh.

       
       


Unwatchable. Like the excited dog that pees on your shoe, but worse.

Stayed up to watch entire Niner/Queen game.  Well worth it.  Queens looked real bad.  31 yards for AP.  Teddy having trouble hitting the broad side of the barn.  D-Line doing their best toll booth impersonation.   Against the mighty rebuilding Niners!

I hate seeing the 49ers win, but based on how that game unfolded I don't think there were any winners. It was a great day though, all the teams I hate lost in exciting fashion. The cherry on top was seeing Adrian Peterson struggle...he wasn't even the best RB on his team last night.

If that's a typical Teddy Bridgewater performance, what was the hype about? Would you trade Hundley straight up for him right now? Based on the limited samples I've seen of both, I'd rather have Hundley (and probably Tolzien as well).

Michigan that may be a biiiiitttttt of a stretch but last night's performance didn't surprise me at all. This team was getting way too much hype and the two losses on the OL were bound to be big. I still think they are the second best in the North when it is all said and done but last night seemed ripe for an egg to be layed.

MichiganPacker,
We do have better QBs in Tolzien and Hundley. It has been about 10 years. Maybe it is time the NFL recognizes the work/magic McCarthy is able to work with QBs.

Talents vary widely there. Tolzien took a solid 2 years to develop, and he looks good. Hundley, what a talent. Ted stole him. He will develop into a very special player.

I wouldn't be surprised to see both players have better careers than Bridgewater.

Don't have a problem with MM as the QB guru but let's keep some perspective. He also wasted a lot of time and effort on Graham Harrell and B.J. Coleman with nothing to show for it other than a mess at backup QB.

The cherry on top was seeing Adrian Peterson struggle...he wasn't even the best RB on his team last night.

good thing they re-did his contract to make him happy.

and as for Harrell and Coleman, MM can only work with what Ted gives him.

It would interesting to hear MM (perhaps after he's done coaching and can talk more freely) discuss why he was able to get guys like Flynn and Aaron Brooks (when he was OC in New Orleans) to function as competent NFL QBs, but couldn't get that from guys like Harrell, Brohm, Vince Young, and Coleman. It's not like Flynn was a better athlete or had a stronger arm than some of those guys and Flynn couldn't do anything outside of GB.

I read somewhere that MM said he wished he had more time to work with Vince Young

New ad:

 

"High, I'm Peyton-armed Teddy Bridgewater, and I have DirecTV to watch real QBs play.".

 

"Hi, I'm Flynn-armed Teddy Bridgewater and I have rabbit ears."

Bradford will always look like a freshman wearing a senior's shoulder pads.
