Niners Thursday: Poor Explanations and Other Nonsense

• The head of NFL officiating tried to explain away the VD catch drop from last week's game. His explanation was the VERNON's second foot only came down because of contact from Polamalu and the ball subsequently hit the ground. This is more plausible, but completely different from the call during the game. Either way, I'm still convinced we got hosed.
  

• Darrell Jackson is digging the SF vibe. Too bad he's exactly 40 years too late.

• News and notes from 49erland. Of interest:
  • Nolan likes the job Staley's been doing
  • Nedney officially had a yard added to his FG after review this week
  • Jonas Jennings got hurt in practice but should play
  • Holmgren is denying he made comments about beating the 49ers
  • Same broadcast team as last week: Kenny Albert, Darryl "Moose" Johnson, Tony "Fatass" Siragusa
  • Manny had his ACL surgery

Your classic 49er pic of the day. We're gonna keep posting these up as long as we can keep finding them on this crazy contraption that is the internet:
