Kevin Wilson Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 Another game not particularly close by the 4th quarter, sixth out of the seven playoff games so far with an anti-climatic ending. I don't think the general team talent difference is the reason, just seems like each individual game had something going against one team that put them at a disadvantage. Really hoping the Packers can show life tonight and at least give the 49ers a hard time (an upset would be fun as well).

This roster will not remain financially tenable for much longer. Thus, anything less than Super Bowl Victory is a significant disappointment. Not quite back to the 1989-1994 level of "Anything Less Than Super Bowl Victory Is A Seppuku-Worthy Shame" but sniffing similar air. I agreed with the window part 100% after they got destroyed by the Eagles. They’ve dragged so many bad quarterbacks/offenses to wins in 49ers country. I didn’t think they had the spiritual strength to do it again let alone the ability. Of course I didn’t know that Purdy was better than advertised to start with, that he would beat his injury and that CMC would be joining on top of the solid Mason staying. That all eliminated that bad possibility. That still leaves the $$$ part. The 49ers have proved they don’t give a crap about it which means they will try to find a way but it does have to end and it may after this year.
Lawful Metal Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 Still proud of my Texans. Baltimore made adjustments, Texans didn’t and Stroud never had any time to do anything (some terrible play calling didn’t help). Defense I thought did well first half, but was clearly gassed in the 2nd half. Lamar is a beast. I hate him. 3
Contentious C Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 This first drive almost makes you wonder if SF is going to get a case of the Shanahans tonight.

Hate that he went to Ohio but he scared the crap out of me when playing Michigan. And he seems like a good dude. He's going to be really good for a long time.
Contentious C Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 Cripes, what a catch by Doubs. But SF keeps getting stingy in the red zone.
Contentious C Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 Taybor Pepper doesn't sound like a football player's name, even a long snapper. It sounds like a Macguffin export you fight over in a Star Wars movie. 1
hammerva Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 Feels like the Packers are dominating in the 1st half but still losing
Kevin Wilson Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 I dunno who the commentators are but I wish they were more critical about the 49ers' time management at the end. They not only were playing for a FG even though they had time (and timeouts) but didn't even play for a short FG. And that's not just in hindsight, it felt really passive in real time, like they cared more about killing the clock than scoring.

Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olson, who IMO are the worst of the #1 NFL broadcasting teams (yes, I would take Tirico/Collinsworth and Buck/Aikman over them)
hammerva Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 (edited) Had the Packers reeling after they were driving and a blatant PI saved them. Now trailing Edited January 21, 2024 by hammerva
Contentious C Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 (edited) Now we got a ball game, and slightly less tight sphincters in Santa Clara. Jesus, this went from defensive scrum to Bugfuck Crazy at Warp 8. Edited January 21, 2024 by Contentious C
Kevin Wilson Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 This is the game I wanted. Its exciting and the Packers are hanging in there/winning.
Contentious C Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 (edited) Sphincters re-tightening to greased BB levels. Man, these Packers are scrappy. Until that kick, anyway. Ick. Edited January 21, 2024 by Contentious C
BloodyChamp Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 It finally happened to the 49ers defense. Their spirit broke. They couldn’t stop the Packers for the 1,968th time in the last few years for an overrated offense to maybe get the ball back 1 more time to do their part.
Kevin Wilson Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 Purdy looking human today but he still has the chance to get that big comeback win (particularly in the playoffs), the thing he is missing on his resume.
BloodyChamp Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 Dang I was wrong. This game is Bears Cardinals 2006. The 49ers offense being on the field is the worst thing for the 49ers.
hammerva Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 (edited) If they thought the Niners would score on them, wasting about 40 seconds was a horrible decision Got all of their timeouts though Edited January 21, 2024 by hammerva
Contentious C Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 I thought Mike McCarthy got eliminated already, and yet there's all this terrible clock management. Did he infect LaFleur by being on the opposite sideline?
Kevin Wilson Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 GB had plenty of time to get into FG range, Love just fucked up. 1
