Prime Time...

Well NFL lovers out there. It looks like Amazon Prime has signed a deal with the NFL Network to have all Thursday games streamed through A.Prime. So if you're an Amazon Prime subscriber you will have the added coverage of Thursday night games at your finger tips. I became an A.Prime subscriber this year in January. I have thus far seen some amazing movies as well as television series. At a one time cost of $99 for the year you can't really go wrong. I'm definitely looking forward to checking out some of the games online when the season starts. :)

What can I say...

Well, from what I saw today it looks like the Niners are here to kick some ass. This group of guys are so synchronized it's scary. When Smith threw for a season-high 303 yards and three touchdowns and Frank Gore ran for 106 yards and a score you know the recipe is good and the cooking is under way - If you can smell where I'm coming from. The chemistry is great, the staff is great and the support is definitely there. Congrats to you all for getting an excellent win over the Bills. Up next, the Giants - let's welcome them and hand them a loss in a very classy manner.

Still at it...

A late entry for the day but I had to make sure something went up today. I'm still heading forward with the workout routine. Sore but it feels good. Weird, a good sore being welcomed hmm. It was sad to see my 49ers lose this past Sunday but it looked like a few other folks had a bad Sunday as well (I won't say any names - but you know who you are). Kinda busy at work today, I wasn't able to post something at lunch time but I will try to put something up tomorrow. Good night folks. Roman

New Rules - Are they needed or not?

The following came in from the NFL and brought to you by UPI -

NEW ORLEANS (UPI) -- NFL owners meeting in New Orleans Tuesday enacted several rule changes, including moving kickoffs from the 30- to the 35-yard line.

Players on the kicking team will only be allowed a 5-yard running start, instead of 15 yards.

However, the owners declined a recommendation by the league's competition committee to move touchbacks from the 20-yard line to the 25.

In another change, the booth official will now confirm all questionable scoring plays. Coaches will still be allowed two challenges per game, gaining a third if they are correct their first two.

The owners also acted to end confusion on penalties for dead ball fouls. The end of a half will not be extended for those infractions.

The league decreed all playing surfaces must remain grass-colored.

Well,
I can already see that the idea of giving the kicking team only five yards to run will cause a few penalties due to passing the kick-off line with it being closer than before.

I can safely assume a lot of touch-backs will be the end result based on the added five yards. The league denied the addition of five yards to the touch-back from the 20- to the 25- yard line. I can see why they kept it at the original 20. The last thing the opposing team needs is an added advantage to driving the ball to the end zone.

I will also have to agree that the field should remain green and not any other color. It was green when it all started so it should remain green from now on.

Leave me a comment on what you think about the rule changes.

Head to head with each other...

"I brought them in together and had them understand why we made the decision and how important it is for them to continue to push each other and compete,"
Great words from the man in charge Mike Singletary. I would be happy with either quarterback running the team I love dearly. In an article at ArcaMax Sports/UPI that I read today they point out that Shaun Hill brought home 5 wins of the last 6 encounters towards the end of the season. Nothing against Alex Smith because I think he's great as well but let's use Hill for now and see where we stand by the end of November. I am really looking forward to watching my team play and kick some butt - game day for me starts when they have their opener against 08's NFC Champs the Cardinals. So whether we have Hill or Smith running things on the grid iron I just want others out there know that this season will be one to watch and one to watch closely.

85 sees a spot on NFL Playoffs...

Well well well - it looks like somene has jumped the gun and has already predicted that his team will be in the playoffs. Good ole Ochocinco (from the CINCINNATI BENGALS) has said in the middle of the teams mandatory minicamp that he feels the team will be in the playoffs this season. Seriously, this is not a mistake or a messed up post - Chad is holding within his mind the hopes of getting to the playoffs. Well all I can say is good luck with that because unless you predict my 49ers in the running as well then I'm going to have to lean over and say "Maybe next year". Okay okay I'll behave, you never know they might very well make it to the playoffs given the other teams come down with some serious illness and are not permitted to participate. Alright I'll stop it, but on the serious side - good luck to the team and hope to see another great season of NFL football.

Vikings might get a Favre...

With today's opening lines displaying that Brett Farve might return to the spotlight of the NFL with quite possibly the Minnesota Vikings simply brought one thing to mind - Brett, would you please pick a team and stick to it. You are a great athlete no questions asked but this hopscotch endeavour that you have started doesn't look good for you and whatever image you have left. If in fact you do fill that spot with the Vikings then congrats but if you are already planning on jumping to the next square before your first foot settles in then please stay retired. The last thing the fans in Minnesota want is someone that came and went without trying it out a bit longer. Stay healthy bro and please follow through with what ever decision you present.
