Niners Fan in CT Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Ummmmm yeah those final few minutes. Playoffs!
Death From Above Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Only saw parts of tonight, but caught the big play anyway. Looks like a fitting ending for Ye Olde Candlestick.
BobbyWhioux Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Only saw parts of tonight, but caught the big play anyway. Looks like a fitting ending for Ye Olde Candlestick. It's not quite the infamous Swirling Wind knocking down an otherwise easy field goal that would win/tie the game, but it'll make a fine "Who Scored The Last TD at Candlestick?" trivia question some day. Also, it was in the north aka "wrong" end zone, like most famous Candlestick TDs except The Catch mk. 1 [which is why the south end zone has that little gold spot in the back corner; the divot from Dwight Clark's landing is symbolically Never Replaced] [Wrong because my season ticket connection as a young un always had us seated overlooking the south end zone, naturally]
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 This picture is amazing. LOL Arthur is going to garrote him.

BobbyWhioux Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Imagine that being read in Bobby Heenan's broadcaster voice btw.
Burgundy LaRue Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Thank goodness, I thought I was the only one who was asking "When did Walt Disney reanimate his frozen corpse and buy the Falcons?"
BobbyWhioux Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 In 2010, the NFC West Champion was 7-9. In 2013, the last place Rams have a chance to go 8-8. Still waiting for Cowher and the other punditoids on the morning shows to praise the 2013 NFC Best as vigorously as they buried the 2010 West as An Embarrassment To The League.
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 In 2010, the NFC West Champion was 7-9. In 2013, the last place Rams have a chance to go 8-8. Still waiting for Cowher and the other punditoids on the morning shows to praise the 2013 NFC Best as vigorously as they buried the 2010 West as An Embarrassment To The League. Isn't that the exact reason they let the bad teams draft higher up? In five years they'll all be terrible again.
BobbyWhioux Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 The Draft exists to provide the illusion of hope that things will get better so every fan base keeps watching even when their team sucks. It's not supposed to actually work for more than a couple teams at a time. Especially not for all four teams in a division. Four teams drowning each other in mediocrity, unable to clamber into the lifeboat themselves but ensuring nobody else around them makes it in either (expertly illustrated by the NFC North), that's how it's supposed to work. Trading meaningless wins due to outside interference in never-ending WWE midcard hell, with the hook that "oh if only we hadn't gotten screwed by that call, or if Player X hadn't gotten hurt, it would've been us. They're so close, just need to draft the right guy next year, and..." Again and again and again. Top-to-bottom divisional improvement is rare. Each division usually has one team you can depend on to stay shitty forever. The Rams and/or Cardinals are currently defying that principle though, and it's kinda fun to see.
Brian Fowler Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Didn't the NFC South have 3 or 4 straight years of teams going from last to first a few years ago?
