ESPN is reporting that Jeff Fisher has officially accepted an offer to become coach of the Rams.

Get used to 8-8 Rams fans!

Stephen Ross fails again.

For the record, both experts on yahoo are picking the Niners.

OMG you made me watch Jimmy Fallon! You jerk!

It’s bad enough you’re a Dolphins fan.

True, but I don’t think Fisher would have been a good fit in Miami anyway.

The bigger issue is that Ross still doesn’t understand what he is doing. Going after Harbaugh last year while Sporano was still the head coach damaged the professional coaching view of Ross and the organization. The only way to fix that will be for Ross to hand control over to a true GM or team president and let them decide who the next coach will be or give full control to a coach.

They might be able to get a college coach by offering a ton of money, but otherwise I expect the Dolphins to end up with an assistant that not many are high on or some retread as their next head coach.

I have been seejng more Niners pick the last couple of days. I take back what I said about no respect.

I got a GamePass Playoff subscription for the rest of the playoffs, and daaaang, it looks nice on my TV.
Looks like the Saints’ receiver got a concussion on that fumble :(
Edit: Tight end Jimmy Graham.

Thongsy · 2012-01-14T14:07:33.000Z

It seems both him and Thomas are out for now. Hopefully they’re alright.

And they said the Niners couldn’t score. Take that pundits!

sluggo · 2012-01-14T14:15:36.000Z

Wow, what is going on here!

Thongsy · 2012-01-14T14:16:18.000Z

This is turning into a disaster for the Saints quickly.

Volksy · 2012-01-14T14:17:53.000Z

I certainly gave the 49ers a chance, but I didn’t see this coming.

W_Wiley · 2012-01-14T14:18:30.000Z

This game is getting ugly.

Zuwadza · 2012-01-14T14:21:12.000Z

I’m ready to fish a brown paper bag out of my recycling bin. This is pathetic.

Sarkus · 2012-01-14T14:37:14.000Z

If SF had gotten that third TD, then I think the Saints would have been done, but the FG means they are still in this given their offense. Its a 10 point game now, which is very doable.

And they better be 100% sure about Graham being put back into the game.

Anders_Hallin · 2012-01-14T14:37:43.000Z

Graham is back with a vengeance, but I still think that first quarter tackle resulted in a minor concussion (based on the fact that he seemed to lose control and awareness of his hands).

Sarkus · 2012-01-14T14:53:57.000Z

And now its a 3 point game.

Thongsy · 2012-01-14T14:55:56.000Z

I was starting to feel a bit bad for Saints fan but now not so much. Damn you Drew Brees. Niners need to come back and score on this drive.

W_Wiley · 2012-01-14T14:58:05.000Z

The 9er’s are done.

jeffd · 2012-01-14T15:01:03.000Z

The saints are very very good.
