LB Patrick Willis and DT Justin Smith Retire

[KeithA39]

Sorry if this has already been posted, but, according to the Sacramento Bee, Justin Smith is still contemplating coming back. Still, even if he does, I don't see him being around past this season, which, unless I'm wrong, is the last on his contract.

Wow. Shocker. Having Borland will help with the Willis loss but still...that's huge for them.

Life just keeps looking on up, the only thing that would make me happier than a 9ers implosion is a Rams Superbowl, and maybe a Hawks implosion too.

Oh man if we still end up in last place in the NFC West, it's best we clean house.

And there's more good news out of SF...

Finally, in another move that Rams fans are sure to enjoy, the Niners are bringing former Rams safety Craig Dahl back on a re-worked contract.

Are the 49ers the worst team in the NFC West now?

I wonder how Borland might be exposed without Smith in the middle. I think a lot of his game is not having to stay home in the middle.

Justin Smith is literally and figuratively a huge loss and a big hole to fill.

Another one bites the dust - hey hey
