Friday Link Dump - Week 9

The Niners have a winnable game ahead of them and Niners Nation has the breakdown. I completely agree with the last sentence - no one should consider a 1 point victory a positive in this. The Niners need to demolish the even more rudderless Falcons team to turn this season around. Otherwise prepare to throw up in your mouth when the Pats use our top-5 pick to add a franchise player to their stable.

Bigger news today is Ronnie Lott declaring war on Jonas Jennings this morning. Nolan seems to be emotionally attached to Mr. Glass, so I guess what a Hall of Fame safety thinks doesn't matter to Coach Stubborn-As-A-Mule. I respect confidence, but not foolhardiness.

The question good teams ask themselves each week is "Can we cover the spread?" or "Can we execute our game plan at will?" (see: Pats & Colts). Teams like the Niners on the other hand ask "Do we have Zak Keasey or Hannibal Navies this week?" The rest of the league yawns as Scot McCloughan names the Castrol GTX Irrelevant Sub of the Week each Friday.
