Jacoby Jones is looking good....

Why didn't the 49ers win the game when Ray Rice fumbled the ball & allow them to score real quick, got them back in the game.

Just like our game against the Patriots this year in the divisional round, we were supposed to get Arian Foster going, play good defense & let our QB "manage" the game. We didn't do that. Arian did not take over the game, our defense did not play well & we lost. Had Jacoby not muffed that punt, we still would not have been running the ball or playing good defense & we still would have lost that game.

We played a much worse defense this year in the Patriots & the Ravens D, which isn't as good as ours was able to slow down the Patriots offense.

We did not lose either game because Jacoby spotted the Ravens 7 points in the first 5 minutes of the game. The people you should have ire towards are still here.

:thinking:

1. Why didn't the refs EVER call offsides in the course of that game against the Ravens. I saw them do it about five times but they were never called. On two point conversion after SanFrancisco scored Ed "Broke-jaw" Reed was CLEARLY offsides.

2. The last two plays of that game made it quite apparent that the outcome of last night's game was decided before the coin toss. A ref standing feet away during an OBVIOUS pass interference, then ignoring a bladant HOLDING on the next call. I loathe Jim Harbaugh but he and the 9ers were prison raped out of that title.

and my feelings on the man might as well be chiseled in stone as I don't plan on recanting them.

Who'd have thunk that Jacoby, Pollard and Leach would all have superbowl rings and play prominent roles on a Superbowl team.

I know Leach and Jacoby are good friends with Andre....I wonder if they'll let him try on their rings...
 
Eh, I don't think much on it. Pollard and Jones fit the Ravens more than us. Can you picture Pollard being called upon for man to man coverage in Wade's system over and over again?

As for Jones, we were trying to push and make him at least a #2 here. We needed more out of him than the Ravens. They already have two solid WR's so only needed Jones to be himself and contribute in spot situations/plays. He isn't as heavily relied upon there as he was here. He did good returns here just like he did there despite the fumble issues. I know I have seen him bobble a few with the Ravens as well.

Hopefully it makes our guys even more hungry seeing the Ravens win it. I still feel it is the mental aspect that is lacking for us more than anything including in the coaching.

MSR. We're trying to make Jacoby a 1a..... just because he isn't & will never be a 1a doesn't mean he doesn't have a place on a championship football team.
 
Seems we have a bad habit of picking up players that "don't fit our system" and then playing them heavily in roles they aren't suited for.

I guess coaching flexibility is just an unreasonable expectation. Taking talented players and using them in ways that best suit them is crazy talk.

But hey, schaub fits the system perfectly. Kevin Walter is a good fit.

I say we stick with it.
 
in GOD's infinite wisdom, jacoby jones today has a superbowl ring-
before all around good-guy AJ #80 even get's a chance to play for one ..
 
He didn't work out for us, he did work out for them.

Get used to it. It happens all the time to all teams in the NFL. Jacoby Jones will not be the first or the last time it happens to us as well.

That said, **** Jacoby Jones. He can kiss my ass.
 
I don't regret the Texans letting Jacoby go. He's a great returner and a good deep threat every once in a while. The Texans special team this year was not good enough to utilize Holiday correctly, so what makes you guys think Jacoby would do any better here? I give the Ravens credit for using him properly. We don't have a QB with a big arm to take advantage of Jacoby's speed so he almost useless to us. Some players fit certain teams for some reason. We tried with Jacoby and didn't work and his salary was an issue too. I'm happy for Jacoby and the Ravens but I still think the Texans made the right move by letting him go.

What am I missing here? This year Jacoby had his fewest catches since 2009 (30), his fewest rec yards since 2008 (406) and only caught one touchdown in the regular season. The only capacity he was more effective as a Raven was kick return duties, and he didn't even do that last year as a Texan.

Exactly.

There's a specific skill-set required to play WR in our 'system' and Jacoby did not excel at it. It's not his fault mind you, because fighting-off-double-coverage-to-retrieve-an-under-thrown-pass, is a difficult skill mastered by only a handful of elite receivers.

Last year as a Texan Jacoby Jones caught 31 passes for 512 yards. This year he caught 27 passes for 370 yards. It was Jacoby's worst year as a WR in the NFL since 2008 when he caught just three passes for 81 yards.

I got the mental pic of Thorn sitting on a golden throne atop a lofty stair case wearing a bejeweled crown & cloak and weilding a scepter when he said this.

Never let facts get in the way of a good joke.
