i hope the niners continue to get underestimated all the way through the playoffs =) (wishful thinking)

It will be a good game. The only concern I have is that the Rams bring pressure on Smith the way they did on Plummer (though I think Plummer is one crappy ass QB.) I am sure Norv Turner will figure out a way around that, and we will kill the Rams for our first win of the season. YOU HEARD IT HERE, THE 49ERS WILL HAVE A SACK IN THE COMING GAME! (hahaha.)

Go Niners!

Sure is nice to have a team to brag about again. Make no mistake about it, on this side of the fence we are far beyond any reasonable doubt that the St. Louis Rams are going to turn into something very special this year. The unveiling of Jim Haslett’s masterpiece theatre was as shocking to all of us as it was to the rest of the league. But if you thought that was interesting, wait till the real monsters show up at Monster Park. Even though the 49ers are not as 49er-ish as they were last season, they will be set in their place like a john trying to pick up an undercover hooker. And this is why:

• Defense still gets no respect

Before last week no one believed – except the players themselves. They were offended, angry, and out to prove something irrefutable. This week, that performance has been called a surprise indeed, but mostly a fluke or a bad Denver day. As a result they are even more determined to make a statement that no one can deny. Better get Alex some side-curtain air bags.

• Too many offensive weapons

If you want to find any fluke in the formula, look no further than the lack of touchdowns last week. There is absolutely no way on the planet that an offense this loaded will not be blowing up the scoreboard. New system yes, but the sheer amount of proven playmakers on this squad leave little to be concerned about. It’s just a matter of time, as in mere days.

• Duh, these are the 49ers

Who could ask for a nicer break from a tough first-week opponent like the Broncos. And since the Raiders aren’t available, the 49ers are the next best thing to a … dare I say … cake-walk?

Seems like three pretty solid reasons to me. Operators are standing by to receive all the wah-wah, don’t pick on us like that – 49er and Raider comments. Please remember this is a family show, and although the views of the Watchdog will probably not stand up in court, they are considered solid as granite to at least ten different people nation-wide, not counting Momma.

I predict that after this game the Rams will be calling for their mommas!
