San Francisco Chronicle, Wednesday December 16th:

The Niners announced the signing of Bruce Collie and 
Chuck Thomas to their active roster.  Thomas is a 
center and long snapper; Collie is a guard.  Thomas was
released in camp this year, while Collie was a 
starting guard with the Niners in Super Bowl XXIV.  Collie
was released at the end of training camp in 1990.  He has
done stints with the Eagles and Jets.

Both players are extremely familiar with the offensive system
and can provide depth at the injury depleted right tackle and
backup center positions.  Ralph Tamm, the backup center and 
tackle was injured in Sundays game against the Vikings and 
was placed on the Injured Reserve List.

Also placed IR is Bill Musgrave, the third string quarterback.
This move makes room on the roster for the activation of 
Joe Montana, a move expected to take place on Friday(The Niners
would have to waive one player, and it looks like it will be
Sheldon Canley, a running back, whom was activated last week).

Harris Barton, the starting right tackle, is progressing
nicely and should be able to return to the lineup Monday,
December 28th, versus the Lions.

Rickey Watters, the starting half back is NOT expected to
start on Saturday, but would be available of the need 
arises.  Rickey needs 15 yards to become the first 
1000 Niners rusher since Roger Craig.

Yeah, when the penalty yardage is more than halfway to

If someone would've told you four weeks ago that Green Bay would be chasing
Minnesota for the division title at this point, you'd have probably had them
locked up. But with GB playing fantastic football and Minn coming up to the
rough part of its schedule, things have got interesting. While I still think
the Vikes will take the division by beating Pitt this weekend, as a Packer
fan I can't help but get excited. 

The reasons for the turnaround in GB are simple. The offense isn't turning
the ball over (fumbling) and the D is becoming more opportunistic. On O, GB
has one superstar, two real good players and several bit players, who are
filling their roles quite well. The D hits hard, plays the run well and can
usually make it through most of the game by changing its pass defense     
throughout the game. GB is simply a good football team playing *very* good
ball right now. Minnesota on the other hand, is playing okay, but just can't
seem to beat a good team. The defense is awesome, but the O has the mistake-
a-drive syndrome, i.e. (and Packer fans can relate to this) they can't complete
a full TD drive because somewhere along the way, somebody fucks up--which
ultimately takes the offense out of sync. While I've only seen the Vikes play
a few times, this seems to be the case.

Hopefully the Viking fans will realize that there aren't all that many
obnoxious Packer fans as the net would indicate. Although a few weeks ago
several Vike fans were pretty hard on a guy who said the Pack would win
the division. Anyway, it would be great to see a final game for the division
championship.

Go Steelers, go Pack!

No, Washington cannot win the division.  The scenario in which Dallas would
not win the division involves the Eagles winning two and the Cowboys losing
two.  They would be tied in record, head-to-head, and division record, but
the Eagles would have a better conference record.

True, those were bad calls, but I can remember at least 4 bad calls that
went the Vikings way. The great touchdown pass to Rice on a Vikings offside
called back for illegal procedure on a off. lineman, when replay showed a
Viking's guy offside and that the lineman's move was almost invisible in
slow motion. A third and two play in which the Vikings were clearly offside
and should have given the 49ers a 1st down, not called. Gannon fumbled two
times, neither one was called a fumble. The last one would have really
cemented the game for the 49ers.

All in all, a great game by both teams and a horrible one by the ref's. I
have to admit, after this game, I now have a lot of respect for the Vikings.
I take back all my posts about them not beating a winning team.

Agree.

I'm skeptical of O'Donnell.  He's had some terrible games, and
looked bad in some games but still gotten good stats.  Time will
tell. 


>San Fran- so what else is new?

Agree.


>Minnesota- some help on the O line, a decent QB and they're set.

Boomer?  Maybe Billy Joe Tolliver or Mike Tomczak will be
available.  They may be able to entice Rusty Hilger out of
retirement.  Or (this is the part where I'm a bit serious--well,
Boomer was a bit serious) Gannon or Salisbury may turn out ok
after another year in the system.  One thing to keep in mind is
that Salisbury has very little playing experience before this
year.


>Packers- another WR to compliment Sharpe, some help with the O line.

GB's OL is aging and depth is suspect, so a few young OLmen would
be welcome.  They have a number of young WRs, one or two of which
may turn out to be good complements to Sharpe.  I'd also add the
DL as an area that needs to be upgraded before the Packers can be
considered dominating.  The secondary is ok but not great, but
they're young and mostly high draft picks, so this will probably
sort itself out.
