too soon for an NFL thread?

Yikes...

San Francisco 49ers kicker David Akers was automatic last season, breaking the NFL record for field goals made (44) and helping the Niners reach the 2011-12 NFC championship game after a long drought – something at least one Red and Gold fan was quick to forget.

The six-time pro-bowl kicker has removed himself from Twitter after reportedly being issued a death threat earlier this week, one that arrived days ahead of a huge Week 16 tilt against the Seattle Seahawks for top spot in the NFC West.

“YOU F------,” the tweet from @RIP_FreeLaddin started, “IF YOU MISS ONE MORE FIELD GOAL YOU ABOUT TO GET YOUR ENTIRE LIFE ENDED.”

Akers, whose Twitter handle used to be @DavidAkers2, retweeted the threatening post before deleting his account entirely. As for @RIP_FreeLaddin, the account no longer exists even after the owner reportedly claimed they’d been hacked.

In an otherwise unforeseeable season, Akers has converted just 71.4% of his field goal attempts, the worst in the NFL. Despite having a consistently steady foot throughout his 14-year career, Akers is just 7-for-15 beyond 40 yards in what’s been a season to forget.

Niners’ head coach Jim Harbaugh has threatened a switch by bringing in former NFLers Nate Kaeding and Billy Cundiff on trial. But the NFL’s top bench boss in 2011 has said he isn’t poised to make a switch.

Nate Kaeding?? When he makes a FG when it matters it will be his first. LOL

Calvin Johnson = just scary.

No one should be that big and that fast.

Kenny, have you seen the latest 30 for 30 featuring Bo Jackson? Another big guy that was unbelievably fast.

I wish Gruden would leave and coach the Bills.

I don't even need to read that. Laughing my ass off just at the title.

I haven't seen it but I remember watching Bo live.


I clearly remember that 91 yard dash on MNF.

I've liked the 30 for 30 series so I'll have to check it out.

What the hell happened to the Lions?

They went 10-6 last year, made the playoffs, and finally looked like a team that was on the rise in the NFL.

They have the 2nd best Offensive and the 12th best Defensive in the NFL , yet are 4-10, about to be 4-11.

I don't get it?

Too much sloppy play and playing from behind.

It's been working for the Colts so far.

Yep, told ya. His streak ended at 22 consecutive completions.

Stat Jinx strikes again!

Calvin Johnson has to be loving that the Lions are playing from behind a lot this year.

He's coming for ya Jerry....

 

[IPostedWhat]

Why the hell are they going for a FG? They are losing 21-3 in a year they won't make the Playoffs.

At least try to put on a show for the home crowd.

one more catch should do it!!

4 more yards needed for Megatron.

 

[Bizzle McDizzle]

if he gets it on a TD that stadium will explode

 

[IPostedWhat]

It's crazy to think that we could see Megatron get the record for most receiving yards while Peterson could get the record for most rushing yards in the same Season.
