I think Ben Johnson is making a wise move that too few coaches make, but he’s certainly betting on himself. It’s possible that he reached his peak value this offseason. Waiting for the right opportunity makes sense for long term success, but an OC’s value can go down in a hurry as well.

I like the Purdy comparison, but that’s why I’m confused with the McCarthy first round pick hype. I agree with others that he doesn’t seem like a first rounder. He actually reminds me of someone like AJ McCarron or Greg McElroy at Bama back in the day. A game manager on a really good college football team. His draft hype is one of the more confusing things I’ve ever seen.

I did think the orchestral version they played on Sabres game day was cool.

I think the chant sounds really cool in stadiums. The actual song is boring.

The KC loss is far enough in the past that I’m done posting irrational hot takes. I’m not going to doubt this hire too much, but the second half issue is a valid concern. Josh Allen is a great blessing, but a QB like Allen is always going make it difficult to assess the OC. We all need to be realistic, Allen could make a bad OC look really good. It’s not Brady’s fault he doesn’t have a ton of experience, but it’s just tough for me to assess any young OC when they have an elite QB.

I walked away from these games realizing there is no truly great team this year.

This is like an exact reply of the 2019 Super Bowl, except Garroppolo is Purdy.

Good call, I felt very similar about that.

I think I have less interest in this Super Bowl than any in recent memory.

All this kicker talk is ignoring the fact that Campbell has gone for it like a madman all season. Typically I love that, but situational awareness is important.

Campbell should have stayed true to himself and went for two there.

Nice play, but way to waste a timeout.

That’s a dumb play call.

I agree, I think KC might have destroyed Detroit. I’d be happy with a KC loss, but the downside is a SF victory doesn’t make me very happy either. I’d rather see a team like Detroit win.

Maybe it’s just a Great Lake curse.

Campbell is like a dude who gets into bar fights just so he can show his buddies how tough he is. He usually wins, but tonight he got knocked out with his nonsense.

It will happen soon enough once Ben Johnson is gone.

Such a lame Super Bowl matchup.

Hutchinson is boom or bust. He gets completely taken out of plays a lot.

This is just sad, watching a team fall apart like this. I feel for the Detroit fans.

Come on Lions. I really want to look forward to the Super Bowl. Another 49ers/Chiefs matchup does nothing for me.

Poor Detroit.

Just as I say the momentum is turning, Purdy makes a terrible throw.

Campbell just gave the Niners all types of momentum. You can almost feel the tide turning. Football is such a psychological game, that’s why you’ve got to feel the situation. Three points would have demoralized the Niners.

Fine line between being aggressive and simply using your brain.
