If you could just ignore the injury report this one is a gang-banger. But the world wasn’t created by an ever-hating God (the evangelical Christian one) to make us happy so here we are.

Flotsam and Jetsam:

-(That’s) Ok, Boomer: I’m guessing that folks in that demographic are paving the way for Roger Craig and Ken Anderson to get into The Hall of Fame. Probably doesn’t make up for the real estate market imploding but baby steps. We all know the drill-Anderson was an MVP, four-time Pro Bowler and finished his career 6th in passing yards and 13th in TD’s. (pet peeve of mine is why aren’t there more references to where players stood when they retired? This is what they did against their peers when everyone was playing the same game under the same rules! Any football fan in Craig’s era would have been delighted to have that guy on his team. He just racked up the yards in an era when field position was still the be-all end-all of coaches’ thinking.

-From the Hard To Believe file: If Aaron Glenn loses this weekend he’ll be the first, first year Jets coach to start his career 0-5. Rich Kotite? Adam Gase? Bruce Coslet? What the hell?

-Commies Daniels insists he’s ready to play this weekend.

-Shield Strikes Again: Do you like parity? This is one of only two games this entire weekend that features two winning teams going at each other.

To The Game!

Niners/Rams:

-San Fran is being held together with baling twine and Flintstones band-aids-Purdy, Pearsall (another bullet wound, smh) and Jennings are out and Kittle is still gone.

-Put The Load On Me: Needless to say there isn’t much past McCaffrey-he leads all rb’s with 31 grabs for 305 yards and no doubt he’ll get plenty of work. Thing is, heavy workloads lead to injuries and the fella is prone to that sorta thing.

-Davante chased the bag with the dollar sign on it, playing for the Raiders and Jets and watching his numbers and rep take a dive. Now that he’s on a functional offense again, rumors of his demise have ebbed. He’s grabbed a TD in three straight and seems to accept his role as #2 to Puca.

-San Franny’s tight end-any guess as to his favorite Second City character?

-I’m both impressed and befuddled that the Niners Kendrick Bourne is still in the league. His reputation is that he’s one of the league’s best blocking wide receivers (you didn’t think there was such a thing, did you?) And that’s all well and good when you’re toiling away on a moribund Pats team. Last week he was asked to grab a few balls-he caught just the one and dropped three others.

Do your thing.
