Niners take heat for playing cute

08:03 AM ET 11.21 | The 49ers tend to bring out the worst in their opponents, including the Lions earlier this season and, most recently, the Cardinals, whose defensive coordinator derided an effective tight-end shift as "cute." The derision provided trash-talk material for at least one 49er. On a 4th-and-short play Sunday, left tackle Joe Staley said he heard the Cardinals warning each other: "Watch out for those shifts." Staley said he taunted them by cooing sarcastically: "Yea, watch for those cute things." When the teams got into their stance, he said, "I was still going: 'Here comes something cute.' Then we passed for the first down, and I was saying: 'Aw, that's so cute.'"

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Jim.

Demarco didn't look like himself yesterday. As long as he keeps getting 20+ carries and Felix rides the pine until some 3rd down opportunities, I'm still good with the results.

Redskins LB's were excellent yesterday. Filled the running lanes all afternoon and kept DeMarco in check.
Murray will remain the starter. I'm not worried about that.

Cute should not be used in a football thread unless it refers to Cheerleaders.

Wow. I've lost a lot of respect for both teams if that's the level of their trash talking.
