Man, the Niners are depressing to watch. Their penchant for self-destruction is unmatched. After what happened last week, I can't believe that the coaching staff would let the team give an encore performance this week. Harbaugh's days in SF may be numbered. Just a horrific coaching performance in general. Second week in a row where the team was clearly out coached. You're overreacting and the team would be overreacting to even think about canning Harbaugh after a 1-2 start. There is plenty of season left for them to bring it back.
I don't see the Niners firing Harbaugh during the season. However, you have to keep in mind the backdrop against which the Niners have been playing. The relationship between the Niners and Harbaugh is clearly frayed. Harbaugh is also looking for a massive extension and payday. The Niners brass, thus far, have refused to give it to him. They almost traded him during the offseason if you recall. This was not a great situation before the season started.
Now, the Niners have lost two games in a row in rather brutal fashion, and, arguably, poor coaching is the single greatest contributor to both loss (though you can also blame Kaepernick for the Chicago loss). I expect the Niners to pull themselves together and start playing better. But the reality is that expectations are very high in SF and for good reason. Yet the coaching has been demonstrably subpar two games in a row, and nothing is being done to repair the issues between Harbaugh and the team. So no, I don't think that it is out of bounds or an overreaction to consider that Harbaugh may not be the Niners' coach past the expiration of his current contract.

If you go out of bounds of your own will (not forced), you can't be the first person to touch the ball upon re-entry to the field of play. I could be horribly wrong, but I don't think I am. That's how I understood it. Oh, I didn't see the play. Did they not flag him? I think we're saying the same thing. They must have missed the call if they didn't flag it, because it certainly looked like he went out. Lots of Steelers fans in attendance, it would seem. That Brown TD was met with loud cheering. No they didn't flag it, but the reason it wasn't a TD is because he stepped out. And there are a lot of Steeler fans in NC. Wait, so it was no flag but not a TD? What am I missing here? There's tons of Steelers fans everywhere. They called it incomplete I think. I don't know why haha
Well that makes absolutely no sense!

iirc they said he failed to reestablish himself so it's incomplete. That's why I originally asked if the rule had changed b/c it didn't make any sense to me.

Too early in the season to count SF out. CBA rules banning 2 a days and less practice time in the offseason hurts teams more than benefits the players imo. I would expect teams that are starting slow like SF, NO, and NE to get in season form in the next few weeks.

Dammit Pittsburgh, this was supposed to be an epic showdown between Suisham and Gano until you had to go bringing touchdowns into it.

Carolina can never win in primetime games. Guess we have to wait until Pitt plays Baltimore again for Tucker vs Suisham.

Can't forget Nugent! Cincy seems incapable of finding the endzone.
Stewart banged up again. I texted my cousin recently with something along the lines of "Stewart and Williams are made out of glass" and he responded "that's an insult to glass". Too bad for them.
EDIT: What regional commercial am I getting for a Channel 7 that's advertising Odin Lloyd video? Seriously?!

Cam's body will be worn out by week 7 at most.

I had to look up if that was the same Avant that was in Philly for what seems like forever.

Well that's the death knell for Carolina.

Right when this game was turning to Carolina's favor.... damn
|
I don't even have words for that....how does something go that poorly? Just fall on it
|
Was Newton going after him or trying to inspire confidence? Couldn't tell.

Probably telling him never do that again or we're getting Ginn Jr back from AZ. Also why wear sleeves on like an 80 degree night in Carolina.

Difference is this has been happening all game. Game plan for Pitt was to take him out. Pitt guys are just running at the QB with their heads down just charging to hit him not watching if he threw it.

Well at least our punter's having a good game! Probably time to put in Derek Anderson. No reason to keep letting Cam get blasted over and over.
