I think the injury happened on the 2nd to last play in week 8 against GB so yeah, the timing matches. But I can’t confirm if that’s the same week the entire offensive line quit, or if it’s the same week Gabe Davis decided to start hating footballs.

Exactly. We have both the best receiver we’ve ever had and the best QB we’ll likely ever see. How there is discussion of anything other than a WR1b to support Diggs or OL to protect Josh is beyond me.

So sorry to hear brother.

So sick of hearing how we “overcame so much.” The Hamlin situation, got it. Awful, and kudos to all involved; not referring to that in this post. But the team was in a downward spiral well before that. Snow storms, injuries, and having to sleep in a hotel on Christmas all suck. But my god could you imagine if we heard Chiefs fans using these excuses if they lost? We would be laughing, and laughing. Allowing Frazier to destroy this defense for another year is criminal. Allowing him these lame ass excuses is worse.

Problem is, Marv is also the main reason we don’t have a ring. I’ll never get over this stat line from SB 25: Thurman Thomas: 15 carries for 135 yards, AVG 9 yards a carry. Even removing his longest run of 31 yards, he’s 14 for 104 or 7.4 yards per. He was running at will against them. Couldn’t be stopped. Im not saying he would have ripped nine yards per carry if we ran it 35 times (Belichick would have adjusted), but 20 carries? 25? That loss, in my opinion, will always come down to that “strategy” or lack of willingness to go away from Jim’s arm when Belichick was begging us to run with 2 down lineman.

Cheers to the GOAT. He’s immediately walking into a 10-year, $375MM contract with Fox Sports. He won’t be going anywhere.

I don’t envy the Bengals players who have to bold face lie when they give Ossai the obligatory “it wasn’t your fault man.”

Romo is going to need clean shorts.

That first game should look up to this game as a mentor.

Romo, settle down. It was basically a punt.

If the NFL is really fixing games, they’d be doing an absolutely awful job of making it subtle. I think this is true ineptness.

Oh, this won’t turn into a historically bad call.

Burrow is ***** legit. He’s a top 3 QB without question.

Was hoping someone would catch that. 😅 And now that I know it’s based on a true story, I’m going on opening night.

Whoever the ad wizards are who came up with Cocaine Bear: kudos. I really need to see whatever train wreck that is going to be.

Wow. It almost looks like Burrow isn’t being protected by 5 all-pros like he was last week.

Ok, I hate Eli Apple but just can’t root for the Chiefs. Go Bengals.

That angle shows no catch.

Did I just see a commercial for a movie called “Cocaine Bear?”

Anyone saying the 49ers stunk just tuned in, right? They played a game without a QB.

Literally anyone else under center. Deebo, CMC, etc. Like I said, no expectation that they’d win, but at least give the defense a second to think the ball might be thrown.

Sounds exactly like something the Fun Police would say.

Well, I’d argue they quit when they decided a guy who literally can’t throw the ball past the LOS should continue to play QB. Outside of the fact that the defense knows exactly what they’ll do every play, there wasn’t enough time to “establish the run” in the second half. The Niners coaching staff quit on the team. No, an emergency QB wouldn’t have saved the day. But having a guy with a functioning arm HAS to be the better option.

Anyone! I don’t know why Purdy would possibly be the best option.

Isn’t at least having a guy with a functioning arm the better option? CMC is not a QB. But right now, it’s not just the fact that the defense knows exactly what you’ll do, but at least CMC gives you the small threat of a pass.
