This is hilarious…49er fans getting pelted by like 3000 snowballs during a recent game in Philly. Take special note to the fans chucking snowballs from like 3 feet away.

Al Harris gets carted off with torn ACL
The Packers nearly blew a 23-3 halftime lead to Mike Singletary’s up and coming 49ers. But a solid final drive by the Packers killed any chances for Alex Smith / Vernon Davis. It was good to see them finish off the game with running for first downs! Ryan Grant probably had his best game this season against a good rush defense. The win comes with big losses on the D though. Both Al Harris and Aaron Kampmen were carted off the field with season ending ACL injuries. That eliminates 2 of their 4 pro bowl defenders.
I still think the Packers D can hold up though, except when they play a team with 2 or 3 good receivers and a pro bowl type quarterback. (Steelers / Cardinals) The packers Dline is really coming around. Rookie BJ Raji had his best game as he appears to be getting back to 100%.
Didn’t see much of this game except for all the Favre scores. (Was watching the NFL’s Red Zone Channel) But the Vikes are basically rolling right now. Besides going to AZ, there next tough opponent is the Bengals, but they get them in the dome.
Cutler again couldn’t come through in the end. Eagles are a solid team that needed a win. So did the Bears but…
Crazy game…first the Browns were up 24-3 after the first quarter. Then Stafford brought them all the way back with a crazy, penalty saving, drive at the end. It was on a hail mary pass. For some reason 8 brown defenders couldn’t cover 4 lion receivers. Stafford looks to be the real deal.
With the abysmal play last week, you would think McCarthy would have his team fired up this week against the lowly Rams. This is not the same Rams team however, I give them two years and they’ll be a playoff team. I’ve always like Spagnaluo the former Giants D Coordinater. Guarantee he’ll have his team fired up, this is is first home game. But I’m going to have to say that if the Packers line can hold up (even if they have to max protect) and pull out a win. And if Raji plays, look for the D to hold the run with Jenkins and maybe AJ Hawk having a HUGE game.
Packers 26-17
Seattle was looking good this year, until Hasselbeck got injured…again. Enough said, man I’m already bored with this game.
Bears 28-16
This is a hard game to gauge….I mean the niners are my darkhorse team, but I also have the Vikings doing good the first half of the season. If San Fran can hold AP and force the Vikings to pass I see this being a dogfight….since I don’t think Favre can really throw long yet. Although these are the games when Favre surprises folks. Like whenever everyone is questioning is abilities…Fuck it, this is a blow out…no matter how good Frank Gore is…
Vikings 28-10
This is one of those games where the team that wants to lose it worst, loses. Although I haven’t seen much of the skins this year, I just am not feeling them yet. Lions have some talent but are still real shakey.
Tie 16-16 (Ok I realize this doesnt happen often so I’ll just pick Skins 16-12)
So the popular dark horse this year is the Texans….so I’m going to pick somebody else..
1. Cincinati Bengals: HBO Show + ( Healthy QB (Carson Palmer) * Crazy Twitter Happy Receiver (Ochocinco) ) = Wild Card Birth
2. San Francisco 49ers: Legit Back (Frank Gore) + Crazy, Unpredictable Coach (Mike Singletary) + Zero Media Attention = 9-7 (Barely missing division title to SeaHawks)
