We were either outcoached or outplayed….

The game in Candlestick is over and we are no longer in a tie for first place.  We scored first with a field goal.  Then they got one and we got another so that half time found us ahead by a meager 3 points.  But they did some adjusting at half time that we didn’t do.  As a result, they scored a touchdown in the 2nd half and another field goal--so they ended up beating us 13-6.

It was interesting that we got the ball with the same amount of time remaining as there was against the Patriots.  But this game wasn’t going to go our way.  We couldn’t get that first down and had to punt.  They managed to hang onto the ball till time ran out. Sad and frustrating.

I had to return my Obama video before 9 p.m. so I plopped Poco into the car and we took off through the rain as I listened to the press interviews on ESPN radio.

Both Pete and Big Red Bryant used the term “they used the Trap very successfully.”  Since I had no blinking idea what a Trap Play was, I did an instant Google and read the definition, which I could barely figure out.  So I tried to watch a 5 minute video on the play to see if it would be any clearer, but I was lost immediately. 

I discovered that I am too dumb to play football.  Not only do you have to know what to do on these calls, but you have to REMEMBER the actions in relationship to a stupid code of numbers and names that are totally unrelated!  It’s just as well.  I am eons too old, I’m the wrong sex, I am not a high risk taker (which these idiots have to be.)  Your life can be completely over in a split second if you come down wrong on your neck.  Well, you may still be breathing, but you can’t move a muscle.  Sometimes it’s even worse than that.  You need a machine to help you breathe.  If I ever get to that place, I want the machine unplugged!!!  Immediately.  When you can’t care for yourself, you are a burden on someone.  How did I ever get onto such a grim topic.  I am off of it now.

I have no idea why my margin has changed, and I don’t know how to use Live Writer well enough to reset anything.

I managed to create a new album on FB and got 5 pictures of Russell in it.  He is my Favorite Quarterback.  I finally found out how to Title an album.  Stumbled upon it in my desperate clicking around.

This is my favorite photo of him and Pete. It is not from tonight’s game.  It was from one where we won.

Pete has been a huge fan of Russell’s from the very beginning.  For the first time tonight, we had nice things being said about us by the NFL crew.  All but that idiot Rich Eisen.  He had to make a crack about an asterisk next to our win over Green Bay.

This was a shot of him warming up at Candlestick Park tonight before the fans had arrived.

I liked this one of him scrambling out of a collapsing pocket.  Look at the angle he has his body at.

This is at the press interview after the game.  He looks shorter there, for some reason.

It is almost 4:30 and I need to get to sleep.  Tomorrow is Friday and I need to do a lot of housework while it is raining.

I am glad this game is behind us. I feel so sorry for all of the guys.  This was a rugged game with a lot of hard hitting.  Not many penalties and no stupid plays, but 4 different receivers dropped balls!  Crapola!
