Niners might have cost themselves a Super Bowl with that drop. They can’t afford those plays with their offense.

Detroit Stafford with a gift the Niners didn’t accept.

Shanahan sticks with Jimmy all season, then completely hides him on a crucial third down play. Nothing wrong with running the ball, but the short passing game was working well, and the Rams have that Donald guy in the middle.

Whenever I watch football I definitely need to know that Leo DiCaprio is watching. 😂

The Rams are dirty, and seem to be a team that gets away with it.

The league needs to explain that rule this off-season. It appears to apply only in certain situations with many players being exempt from enforcement of the rule.

Jalen Ramsey going after the veteran kicker, what a tough guy.

What irony. They show Deebo calling Jimmy G a winner, then Jimmy gets him knocked out of the game.

Agree, but Alex Smith was never as bad as Jimmy G. I suppose that would be a separate debate itself. Watch KC with Alex Smith in the playoffs, then watch Jimmy G playoff football. Jimmy G gives you bottom shelf QB play, Smith was a step up imo.

Great point, it makes total sense. Why ruin what works? Rookie QB’s are known to make crazy mistakes. However, Jimmy G isn’t the best with ball security either. He also seems incapable of making plays that redeem those mistakes. It’s possible rookie mistakes would even out if the guy was capable of making big plays. I suppose there’s a certain level of comfort with a veteran QB, and he got them to the championship game, regardless of my opinion. I just can’t imagine being an offensive minded coach like Shanahan and not getting restless enough to make a move. I suppose he deserves credit for being patient. It could be the right long term play. We’ll see.

Each time I watch the Niners, I think I post the same thing. How bad is Lance for Jimmy G to be on the field?

Fair enough, if they were playing anyone else I’d root for the opponent. I just can’t bring myself to root for an LA team. A Rams Super Bowl win would literally go mostly unnoticed by an entire city. I still don’t know if Rams fans are a real thing.

Are you referring to franchise history or the current team?

I hate watching Jimmy G play, but I don’t want to see LA in the Super Bowl. There’s a lot of Stafford love around here, but LA doesn’t deserve a Lombardi trophy. I root for fanbases more than individual players I guess. I’d love to see Cincy win it all for that city, and I can tolerate a SF win. Everything about the title going to LA is gross imo.

I agree, I’m just a little tougher on Rosseau since he was picked ahead of Basham. I also thought Basham didn’t get as much opportunity. I agree with you on Basham, but I don’t trust Rosseau as a big part of our future either. He showed flashes, but disappeared more often than not. I don't recall him showing much against KC. He seemed to have a few quality games, followed by complete disappearing acts. Decent rookie year I suppose, but not a guy I trust. Anyone who plays entire games without a QB pressure, isn’t someone who excites me as an early draft choice, even as a rookie.

The Rosseau pick still bugs me. I’m all for potential, but I’d prefer a guy who didn’t sit out his final college season. We needed someone who can rush the passer now, not a project.

I’m happy for the Bengals, and glad to see KC out. It’s cool to see a real town like Cincy get their chance against SF or LA. Yet somehow, this game made me feel worse. I can’t believe Cincy is already there with their thirty something coach.

Burrow is unbelievable. He won a title for Ed Orgeron, and gets the Bengals to the Super Bowl.

It feels like every major NFL game magically becomes close at the end, even if it’s a blowout in the first half. I’m old enough to remember championship and Super Bowl blowouts.

This game just makes me frustrated with our d line. We need to make a free agency splash on the d line. Our d line draft choices have been rank.

I don’t think so, they didn’t look good last week either. We just couldn’t bring Mahomes down. The o line wasn’t very good itself.

Hubbard is a good player.

Taylor is a lucky man having found Burrow and Chase.

Yeah, matchups matter. Cincy beating KC doesn’t mean we can’t beat Cincy. I think our defense matches up better against Cincy.

And Frazier, that was his reputation in Minnesota. His defensive style isn’t built to win a championship.
