So after a full day of playing my new video game until it hurts to keep my eyes open, I'm ready to do some thinking about my Niners.

I'll be leaving very early for the game tomorrow and I'll be rooting just as hard as everyone else in that stadium. Also,...

Brett Favre's pretty much gone underground this week, except for his regular Wednesday press conference, Thursday's NFL Network interview with Steve Mariucci and a one-on-one with Terry Bradshaw, which will air on the Fox NFL Sunday pregame show. It's not a week for him to be out there very much. It's a week to shut up and play. So what's going through his mind right now, on the verge of the strangest...

1999 wasn't the beginning of the end for the 49ers' storied dynasty. It was an affirmation of the end. With the loss of Steve Young and the continued absence of Garrison Hearst, the San Francisco 49ers discovered that their talent had diminished to the point where success was unsustainable.

by Matt Snyder Filed under: Redskins , NFC East , NFL Coaching Only five teams in the NFL have scored less points per game than the Washington Redskins through four weeks, but that's not even the worst part about the 'Skins on offense thus far. They've offered up this futility against some really bad defenses the past three weeks -- the Rams , Lions and Buccaneers . Thus, it's pretty obvious something...
