I'm, shocked the Bengals were able to pull that off last minute.

I am rooting for them now. L.A. game went about as I expected.

Good game, but the Rams were really the better team all year. I was pretty skeptical of that Stafford trade, but it does really seem to be paying off.

It must be crazy for him, spending over a decade suffering in the complete failure of society that is Detroit, and now after some papers and a deal, to suddenly be King of L.A.. Good for him.

yeah, let it be known... nobody beats the LA Rams SEVEN times in a row

The closing minute of both games had quarterbacks running around with nothing to show for it.

Right? Even when they are bad, the Niners just kind of seems to have L.A.'s number, but there is a limit to those mind games.

Shanahan has reached the limit of what he can do with a QB of Jimmy Overthrow’s modest talents. Two championship games ain’t bad but not to Big Dance like 2019. I accepted this defeat fairly easily, never having expected to get this far, given the early season play. In fact, GaGottaGo’s first two big misses, an overthrow to Kittle and into coverage on the next one were typical of their 3 and 5 start play. One of the radio analysts made an obvious point a week or two ago: Garopono is a pocket passer and has to arc his throws, so his pathology will be to over, rather than under throw. This affects short passes the most because he is trying not to be batted down. This helped me to understand him better but he still failed in the end.

Papers are blaming Shanahan’s fourth quarter play-calling but really, the game is lost early on with lost opportunities from fresh play and novelty. This is why Niners never have high scores. It isn’t just that they grind out plays from running game, it’s that inconsistent QB play prevents higher scoring.

Niners fans have nothing to complain about, we remain pretty well fed by success. Deebo and our defense delivered and gave us something to feel great about.

I am skeptical that Lance will be able to do even as well at first, but it’s time to move on; his problems will be different ones. This game was a good example of what we fans have watched all year...a blistering defensive effort, and an uneven albeit sincere offensive effort. They needed luck, or Bill Walsh’s “Fortune” to make it, and they didn’t get it. I think the second-to- last drive (?), three and out, was typical and pathetic (prior to actual turnover) but the power of the belief and determination of Rams defense, the money they spent made it happen. I’m sure all three Rams fans really appreciated it and the bandwagon is open for business.

Jimmy and his "elite" 3rd down abilities were on display yesterday. Lost the game in Jimmy fashion with that scramble no look heave.

Many will say if Tart caught that interception they would have won. Maybe. There was still 9 minutes left and they were on their 40 yard line. With how the offense played the last two possessions I have 0 confidence they would have made any progress.

The Rams had the ball for 35 minutes and ran 26 more offensive plays. Niners defense was gassed and Rams defense was had more in the tank. That means......Niners couldn't run the ball as planned by the Rams to make Jimmy throw and Jimmy couldn't throw to keep the clock moving.

Lots of missed guys open too.

3rd and 1 and they do a lame surprise handoff to the full back that looses a yard and then they try and get them offsides. Needed to go for it there. Rams and Stafford pass too quickly and accurately.

I can't remember a throw by Jimmy that was in the air for more than 15 yards.

Oh well, next season. Lance or Aaron Rogers will be QB next year so at least we'll see some more zip and accurate throws.

Time to focus on the Warriors

 

[Climber]

Play calling by the 49ers was uninspired, at best. Predictable, I'm sure the other team knew exactly what they were going to do almost every play, especially as the game went on. Who gains 8 yards on the first play then goes straight to a run with no receivers on the second play? Why would you tell the other team that you're going to 100% run a play up the middle and do it two plays in a row? Of course they're going to stuff you!

Wasn't that overthrown pass to a wide open Kittle in the middle of the field over 15?

Crappolo is made to look good because his receivers get massive after the catch yards and break shit open.

I almost shit myself when Deebo went down that would have made it even worse for us if he couldn't have come back.

A lot of missed calls by the refs. I mean how can the offensive line for the Rams hook Bosa around the neck so many times with no calls?

 

[Climber]

Anybody else wonder why there was no flag when the Bengals defender ran into the KC punter returner who called fair catch?

Seemed like the Bengals were the dirtier team, hanging onto receivers by their jersey's on a lot of plays, hindering them and getting away with it.

Still a lot of stony fingers out there on the KC side.

I don't imagine that the NFL brass are too thrilled about a superbowl that the vast majority of the country doesn't give a shit about the outcome.

So, where's Garp going next year?

I would not be upset to see him in Black and Gold next year.

The touchdown to Kittle was 16.

NFL for sure wanted Cowboys/Rams vs the Chiefs. But they promote parity so this is what you get.

The QBs in the AFC now, Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, Herbert....gonna be good ball for a bit.

NFC needs to life in QBs it seems. Rogers and Russell Wilson but they are getting old.

 

[Dubbington]

Don't nit pick. You know as well I do that Jimmy G doesn't and or can't throw down field. I can get the official stat and give it to inches, that amazing throw to Kittle

I can't get over how you defend Jimmy G like he's this gunslinger racking up yards. Look at what happens when his run game is stopped. Alex Smith would have done better, he at least had a good arm and wasn't a statue in the pocket.

Even Aikman on the call couldn't figure out what Jimmy G was doing or seeing out there.

Doesn't matter, won't be seeing Jimmy GQ under center next year anyway. Just hope the defense stays the same. Maybe with Mostert, Mitchel and Deebo next year the run game will be even more dynamic. I wish there was more under center 3 step ball is out. BUT...that's likely not something JG can do so Shanny never called it.

 

[mikev]

Please point out where I ever said that.

I didn't.

I'm simply responding to the terrible fucking "analysis" I see posted.

Gonna be interesting to see all the hot takes next year when Lance struggles. Can't wait to hear how nothing is his fault.

He didn't get the flag, and he won't get an Emmy for his crappy acting a half second after the hit. I think I even saw the ref laughing.

Seemed like the Bengals were the dirtier team, hanging onto receivers by their jersey's on a lot of plays, hindering them and getting away with it.

I think the dirtiest defense on the field yesterday was the 9ers... I'm sure Stafford is feeling the numerous dead play thumps to the helmet today.

Warner's better than this....

Meh, QB's, much like Offense in General, is annoying. Defense is the best part of Football.

That being said, the Bills look real as a mofo on D. Combined with an excellent Offense, they seem like a team to watch for some time to come if they can maintain this arc they have been building.

 

[Sharxfan]

Oh man you are a sadist. I would rather the corpse of Roethlisberger than Crappolo.

 

[FXCLM5]

Lol terrible analysis is your term, the entire world views jimmyg as inconsistent yet you still wanna say it was bad analysis.



I dunno wtf you smoke but it is some good shit

Tbh Fred warner should agotten ejected, that was like 2 secs after whistle blew and he charged full steam head on still lol

I also agree 4th quarter coaching plays were horribly called, I could do better with my 3 set audibles in Madden games lol, this is on offensive coordinator and the QB not able to fukn audible

Yet projecting Lance is gonna fail? Ok, got it. Doesn't go both ways I guess.

You clearly see something in Jimmy that nearly no one else does.
