I came looking for a thread to talk about the defense, and I will...but this quote made me think, and it's early, so this was what I was thinking about Joe...then a comment on the defense.

As a southerner from Mississippi, I have no reason to be a Joe Montana fan. He went to college at Notre Dame, and then spent a career mostly in SF before finishing up in KC.

My point about Joe is that even though he tormented us so many times, being in the NFC West at the time, I can't help but like the guy. There are not too many rival QB's that I can say that about. Joe, IMO, was just one of those types of guys you just couldn't hate. He was that good, not only on the field but off the field, too.

My comment about the defense is this. I loved what I saw. The QB had zero time. I really doubt that we can do this in regular season, though, because if we can, we will be unbeatable.

I doubt it because it would just be too good to be true...but one can hope that what we saw Friday night will be what we see every game during the regular season.


Edit- Oh, yeah...one more thing. I heard recently where the line was 17-1 for us to win the SB. I was thinking that putting $1K down wouldn't be a poor investment. Now I'm even more stoked. I bet the line changed...if only for a week.

After we signed Franklin and Kreutz it dropped to 8-1
