I think this is the game at which the 49ers will look back, and think, “Why did we even bother to suit up?’

1 for 9 on 3rd down conversions for the Rams vs Cleveland yesterday….

almost as bad as SF from last week (1 for 11) vs Seattle.

Rams are dead last in 3rd down conversions for the season… this scares me.

It doesn’t bode well, that’s for sure. I am expecting the Rams to contend for a playoff spot this year on the strength of their defense and Todd Gurley, but they are not going to beat good teams who can just focus on slowing Gurley down.

They need better play from their QB and WRs, and we are six games in right now without any evidence that a passing game is emerging. I am just not seeing any improvement in the Rams’ effectiveness this year. Foles hasn’t distinguished himself from Hill, imo.

There were fans unhappy with the Gurley pick.

I bet most of them have come around.

I know some posters around here who have been advocating for the draft of a true #1 WR for the last…I dunno. 6 or 8 consecutive drafts.

I didn’t realize we are spending 5x as much on the military – adjusted for inflation – as we spent at the height of WWII.

That does give one some pause, does it not?

I wonder how the political discourse would change if THAT fact was widely known.

I would like the Eagles to lose a lot. I would prefer it not be Bradford’s fault, though I could live with that, as long as he keeps playing.

Call me greedy. I want a high second round pick.

McCown’s in his 13th season?

I get all these guys confused: McCown, McCoy, Macduff, Macbeth. I thought they all came in the league around three years ago.

I am looking forward to the Frisco games.

I would have no problem eliminating all religious fundementalists. But what about “believers” in general? As long as the seed exists then isn’t the possibility of fundementalism taking root always present? Wouldn’t we want our new society to be based on reason rather than faith?

I don’t think that would make any difference.

There is something about humans that resorts to tribalism no matter what. Dance team members think they are better than cheer, jocks think they are better than band, Rams fans think Raiders fans suck (no offense). If it wasn’t religion, it would be something else. Lord of the Flies, baby. If it wasn’t God, it would be haircuts, or freckles, or the way we cover our poop.

We’re doomed.

And right now, overpopulation is one of the major threats to our survival. And we can’t count on help from other countries. Just look at how irresponsible the Danes are.

The Browns will look back on this game as the one which…um…made their season…um….

Honestly, I think the $63 is just rubbing it in.

(Who comes up with these numbers?)

Bean counters. I swear to God. Somehow, somewhere, that fine makes a lot of sense to somebody.

I said before the season started that I believe Fisher is safe through 2016. I mean concrete safe.

I do think the media is going to start talking about the Hot Seat though in reference to him if the record is mediocre or poor at the end of the year, barring injuries. I think 2016 could see a lot of impatience.

I do not understand the indecision on Ogletree. I am guessing that they decided a week ago they aren’t going to IR him with designated to return. Because that is eight games, and if they are going that route, it would be better to start the countdown on the 8 games immediately. So they must be waiting for information to decide whether to IR him altogether, or leave him inactive until he is ready to go. But I am only speculating.

How about that fake punt? I called it right as 3rd down failed. Then the Packers shuffled around because they saw it coming. I think everybody in the stadium knew it was coming. And Hekker found a DB for a completion for a first down anyway on a nice rollout.

And at that point, Hekker had 50% as many yards passing as Foles.

Another thought. On one of those early sacks, Matthews (I think it was) stuck a helmet directly in Foles’ chest. No call.

I’m just not a Foles fan. He got beat up, and he’s tough and a gamer, but he just has accuracy problems. The tipped interception was thrown behind Kendricks, allowing the tip. And he missed a bunch of other throws, too. The Pick 6 looked like it might have been on Cook, though, who pulled up short on his crossing route.

I hate Cook. He is a talented, lazy, ass. The guy is tying up too much space for about 10 good catches a year.
