Week 14 Sunday Football: Miami Dolphins (5-7) @ San Francisco 49ers (8-3-1)

Nooooo... we can not afford to drop this game. Have you seen Seattle's schedule?

Cards @ home - Should be an easy win
@ Bills - Depends, not hard game but they only have 1 road win.
Us @ Home - depending, this game could decided who goes to the play offs.
Rams @ Home - Should be a win.

The only games that might be hard for them are the Bills, simply because it's a road game and they haven't done well on the road - except against the Bears. We only have a 1 1/2 game lead, so if we loose to the fins.... the only sure victory we have left is the Cards at home to end out the season.

As it is, if we win this game, and loose going into NE we could enter the Seattle game with a 1/2 game lead. We HAVE to win this game. Honestly based on the way Seattle is playing, we pretty much have to win out.

You've completely misinterpreted my post.

You've completely misinterpreted my post.

No I didn't. I know you weren't saying we could loose to anyone.

[downsos]

Loose to anyone?

[OREcoast49er]

As a WR, he's been worthless most of his career.

Even worse at RB...

[OREcoast49er]

Loose to anyone?

I think he means that if the team doesn't stay loose, we could luze.

I could be wrong though. It's happened once.

[lincecum=future]

Will be out there once again this is a must win game. Will be crucial for Kap to perform

See that's what I get for trying to type something in a hurry because the kids are fighting.

But yes, I am sure you wouldn't want them to be all loose and take in the

You are. He meant luce.

Ah. That was a typo

Mario Manningham (shoulder) was held out of practice again on Thursday.
A second missed practice increases the likelihood that Manningham will sit out Sunday versus the Dolphins. Randy Moss would move into the starting lineup with first-rounder A.J. Jenkins making his debut as the No. 4 receiver

via Roto, give the kid a shot Roman, please.

Give him a shot AND let the HOFer actually play. Crabtree, Moss and Jenkins should be a pretty decent WR corps and with VD and Gore on the field also the D will have to spread pretty thin or leave an area vulnerable. BTW...Kaepernick could also evade a pass rush and end up 50 yds downfield.

Why are they screwing around with Kilgore and L Davis on the field again? I understand you want to run the ball, but don't you also want your "best 11" on the field. How are the two back up o-lineman better than having Moss, Crabtree and Manningham (when healthy) out there? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me unless it's 3 or 4th and 1.

I don't mind seeing what Kilgore's got, but I can't stand L Davis one bit.

I don't mind the player at all. I mind the theory of 7 o-lineman on the field instead of personnel set that allows for something good to happen. A good play with 7 o-lineman is a 4 yard gain. I know they've had a fluke play here an there where it worked (the GB TD by Gore comes to mind), but as a general rule the fomation gets them nothing but a wasted down. They have 1 or 2 successful plays (meaning they gain yardage) when they use those packages. The jumbo "backfields" seem to be better. Using multiple FBs has proven to be effective especially with Miller doing a good job as a receiver.

True, I think its an attempt to have the success that the Jumbo did last year when Boone was extra man in, which it just hasn't been

[Lakers211221]

Even worse at RB...

Actually, last year we had a lot of success with those shotgun hand offs to him.
