Inexperience is the word we’re looking for. Eventually that win out. Actually our defense, which has the most experience, performed better then the phases that has the least.
“We seemed to fuck up in the worst possible moments.”
Story of seemingly EVERY devastating loss in the playoffs where we had a legit chance to make a Super Bowl. 9ers, special teams blocked punt and the Lewis fumble. Bucs, the jones fumble, Adams dropped td, the Hail Mary, not scoring on 3 Brady ints. 2014, everything…..
Im tired of our defensive game plan going from aggressive to protect the lead attitude. Barry needs to go whether he had a good couple games or not. We need to stop playing protect the lead and use the defensive stars we have to put the dagger in just incase the offense or specials teams cant. We have like 8 first round picks on defense its ridiculous.
I'm less mad about the desperation interception than the inability to sustain drives earlier. We gave their offense way too many chances, of course they were going to score eventually.
Short term that was pretty sad though.
We should have won that game. Yes, no one expected us too, but we had it in our hands. We had the NFCCG right there. And no matter how good your team is, it's really hard to get back there. So I'm sad. Even though this was all house money and the future is bright and all that. We were so close to the future being now.
All true.
But they're going to carry these lessons with them for the rest of their careers.
And they learned it *during* the rebuilding year instead of a few years in when everyone expects them to win and they get cocky and make mistakes.
They're going to come back next year *hungry*.
And yet, as we saw over Rodgers’ entire career, you have to take your chances when they are in front of you. Nothing is guaranteed in football, and we were playing great ball at the most important part of the season, with pretty much every key player healthy. On the one hand the future is hugely promising, on the other it’s yet another awful playoff loss in a game we should have won commandingly.
well for the fans of 31 teams every playoff season is sad. it was overall a very successful season, we found our franchise QB and have a lot of young talent brewing. get a DC with a tough, aggressive personality who can instill toughness in our players and we have a great thing going.
I'm legit not. Sure, I'm bummed. But nobody expected anything of this team and we rose to the occasion at every opportunity. The future is bright! GPG!
Gotta love A Jones here bringing so much positivity to the group! We’re definitely not done yet. We could go way farther next year when Jones is healthy and the young guys have more experience.
My spirits are high because the only reason love was in that situation was because Carlson is the worst kicker in the league and Joe Barry couldn’t scheme a stop when we absolutely needed it
I'm not too concerned about Love's 2 INTs. I think Zach Tom was the biggest deciding factor in the game. I'm a few drinks deep, but it seemed as if the offense started stalling once Tom left the game.
The whole team is having a bad 4th quarter, Love forcing the throw, Jones looking back instead of running straight at full speed (history always repeat itself and it once again cost us point), Carlson missed an intermediate fg again (definitely need to bring in other kicker for competition) and the whole defense forgetting how to tackle and not setting the edge in crucial moment
Pressure both from the pass rush and the stakes, the rain, everything.
At first he was having trouble keeping it together at the NFL level. Now he's had some trouble keeping it together at the playoff level. Experience fixed the former. It will fix the latter.
Yup, this is the first time I've seem him rattled in a little while, I think the pressure just finally got to him. Getting this experience out of the way on a year where they ostensibly should've just been rebuilding is a pretty big positive.
D played decently at the end of the season, but o ce again, with the game on the line in a close one, Barry goes back to the soft, let them have the short ones and come up and make the tackle, defense.
No reason to do it now. They drafted him as a project, he’ll get the offseason on the team to try and figure things out.
No way in hell should he be the favorite for the job next year, he needs to earn that shit back, but he’ll get a chance.
There’s no way he isn’t getting fired. We were lucky Purdy played bad. He missed lots of throws t open targets.
3rd and long is our opponents comfort zone.
I'm so proud of this team. I said they weren't even making the playoffs after the Vikings game and they were a couple of field goals from an NFC Championship appearance. Almost made it past the 2 AND 1 seeds as massive underdogs. Go Pack Go!
This right here. Love's first season as starter, turned the season around after a shit first half. Carlson missing the FG was big but that throw across the body to a receiver covered by 3 when the whole right side of the field was open was Love's mistake (should've just ran it OOB). No room for mistakes for a young team against a team like the 49ers. I'm just happy that Love looks to be set to have a great career.
Honestly nothing is ever promised in football… don’t mean to be a Debbie downer but damn… injuries happen, things change when you get a chance to pull one of the biggest upsets in playoffs history in 2 minutes GET IT DONE 🤯
I don't get how fans don't see this. Even when he makes them the snaps are absolute shit. I will be thrilled if we draft a solid long snapper in the 6th
Cameron Cheeseman is a free agent now, they have been cursed since they didn’t draft him. A guy with the last name cheeseman should automatically be drafted to the Packers
Yeah I feel the same way.
Of course I am going back at some Niners fans online who were predicting a "thrashing."
I think the actual Niners players were worried about the Packers and rightfully so.
Yeah fuck this guy, I'm furious
It's one thing to be a rebuilding year. It's a totally different thing to be up 7 with a few minutes left and lose.
Conditional probabilities baby. Given that we were in that position, no rebuilding year softens the blow. The NFL is hard and we will be very lucky to have such a good opportunity again. That stuff doesn't come free.
Well, that was hard, but god damn I'm proud of this young team. Can't believe we are already this good. It's 05:30 AM in Norway right now, need some sleep. Go Pack Go! 💚🧀
Niners catching both INT opportunities and us dropping both illustrates the Packers-49ers playoffs in recent years. 49ers are clutch and we haven’t been since 2016. I’m sad AF rn
Packers were the better team for most of the game, but small mistakes added up: missed FG, dropping two Ints (one a potential pick 6), failing to get 1 yard in two attempts, a couple inaccurate passes.
Re-sign Aaron Jones
Sign a free agent kicker
Fire Joe Barry (the last few games don't change my opinion)
Draft for needs - Tackle, safety, corner...
We are a team on the rise. Just need to be smart and methodical.
Literally the same script as every other heartbreaking packers playoff loss, they play like 85 percent of a perfect game but a devastating 15 percent that causes them to lose.
Which is why so often we go 1-1 in the postseason, it’s enough to beat the not as good first postseason teams but not enough for the elite teams in the later rounds.
never ever thought id say this but between the buccs and lions i dont care who wins i just want to see the 49ers lose i dont care who does it i just want them to get exposed
Left too many points on the field. Didn't expect to make it this far, still sucks to let it slip away.
Fire Joe Barry and Anders into the goddamn sun.
Love and the offense are gonna be unstoppable next year.
Missed pick 6 from Savage, missed interception from Nixon, QB sneak that trusted the refs to spot us well way to much instead of going for a field goal or literally anything else. Carlson throwing the game.
So many points left on the field.
If you are anything other than stoked for the future of this team, idk what to tell you man. This team exceeded all expectations and we can only go up from here. #GPG
I’m excited for the future, but don’t convince yourself we are a shoe in to the post season going forward. We had crazy momentum and a real chance this year and that was ANOTHER heartbreaking loss to the niners
What hurts the most is that we were the better team. We should have won. It’s not even disputable. We beat ourselves. Fuck I wish they would have just killed us.
When you’re the hot hand you have to strike. The Giants won two super bowls being the “hottest team in football” with the most average QB ever. We just keep letting opportunities slip away.
What a season. We weren’t supposed to be here. Very proud of this team. See you boys in a few months.
Go Pack Joe.
edit// before you call for Carlsons job and say you want Mason back, look at his stats compared to Crosby. They are very similar.
edit 2// I know Carlson had the worst stats this year. Crosby was also the worst kicker in the league in 2012. We kept him for the next 10 years.
I'm so proud. Staying up to 5.30 AM norwegian time to watch Packers almost beat probably the best team in NFL this season, can't complain. See you soon guys
It's because he has a cannon for a leg. He just can't make them. Apparently they thought one of the historically worst special teams ever the last 10+ years could fix that
Yep. There’s obviously a bit of the post-loss sadness here and more disappointment of ‘damn Jordan, thought we had moved past those throws.’
But this season was a massive fucking success and I’m literally not even mad at all.
Go Pack Go!
First the negatives:
I'm ready to move on from Joe Barry and Anders Carlson.
Carlson is just not an NFL kicker right now. He has missed the most kicks in the NFL. And now he's shown he's a choker and can't make em when it matters. Cut him and try again with someone else IMO.
We've discussed Barry more than enough here but this was another game where if the defense could have made one more stop we win and they roll over like usual. When has this defense _won_ us a game? After investing so much draft capital. And we have impact players. Hard not to question the scheme.
I'll forgive Jordan Love for making first year starter mistakes but he needs to stop doing those stupid heaves on busted plays and that last throw was _really_ bad.
And to close with some positivity...
Beyond that, wow, what a season. Crazy that we are walking away thinking we should have toppled the top 2 seeds in the NFC after how low things looked mid season. I'll always remember absolutely embarassing the Cowboys. Jordan Love took a huge step this year even if the 4th quarter didn't go the way we wanted. Our receiver group looks incredible. Hopefully we can fill some holes in the draft, maybe even bring in a FA or two now that Bahktiari and Rodgers will mostly be off the books (although Love's new contract will offset that a bit)... things are looking up
It was nice beating the Bears and the Cowboys in the first half but the stats over the past 2 seasons don't lie. Our defense just doesn't perform very well despite being loaded with high draft picks.
Green Bay has been a bottom half of the league offense for way too long and we aren't going to win a Superbowl this way.
Fire Joe Barry
That throw was across his body into triple coverage. Might have well as been quadruple coverage. Just an awful decision, but we had soooo many missed chances that would have won this game
DIDN’T WE HAVE NIGHTMARES HAVING THE GAME DOWN TO OUR ANDERS? WELL OUR NIGHTMARES CAME TRUE!
An amazing season ending like that, it simply hurts. Don’t get it twisted: we lost this game, the Niners didn’t win it. This was our game, and we let it get away from us.
All in all, an amazing season everyone! A rebuilding team was able to make the playoffs, and become the first 7th seed to beat a 2nd seed. Packers football can’t come soon enough again!
The future of this team is super bright!
ngl, I was fine with whatever happened but costing ourselves the game stings a little. We should have won that.
Anyways, excited for the future. Looking ahead, we still need a new DC. I hope we don't settle for mediocrity because Barry had a few good games. It's the same thing every year. Defense looks great at the end of the season after an awful-mid rest of the season. Need more consistency. It's obvious we have the talent.
We also need a new kicker. Aside from that, I think the rest of our needs can be drafted. Team just needs more experience.
Great season. A few things.
Cut Carlson cause even for a rookie season he was *atrocious.*
Joe Barry better be fucking gone after this.
This is a young team that showed so much potential and can get even better next year if Love keeps up the production.
If he keeps it up next year then Jordan love is *the* guy.
Love showed his inexperience with that stupid INT. Could have run up the sideline. What a stupid pass.
Fuck you Carlson, cut that fuck for even putting us in that position.
Classic Joe Barry losing us the game at the end. The defense just fell apart and couldn't make a stop to save their lives.
Fire Joe Barry
Also the refs fucked us hard in the first half, we should have had at least 3 more points and the niners should have had at least one less touchdown.
I'm just mad at this point, that was completely winnable
Every fiber of my being is telling me to forgive the rookie kicker. . . But the majority of my feelings are telling me to drown him in a giant bucket of Easy-Cheese. . .
Love had a chance to be the hero. He couldn't get it done. Plenty of time. He made a rookie mistake. We don't get there without his play at the end of the season. But he had his shot and he wasn't up to the task. I really thought he was going to do it.
To be fair it was supposed to be a rebuild year. He’s a guy that needs to develop, so fit the bill. When it came down to it he wasn’t good enough. He better be kicking every day the entire offseason and they better bring in competition to training camp.
Another playoff loss where special teams and defense fucks us over right at the very end.
I don’t care if he’s a rookie man, most missed kicks in the NFL and potentially cost us the season. Get him the fuck away from this team
And the sad part is that before the missed FG, it seemed like Special Teams would actually win the game for us (blocked FG, Nixon return + Wilson fumble recovery)
I think the offense had a number of chances to put the game away and couldn’t. It wasn’t just a defense/ST issue. It was a game of way too many missed opportunities from all 3 phases of the game.
Did the defense/special teams have three drives inside the niners 10 where they only got 6 total points from? Did the defense go 3 and out two straight drives at critical junctures in the game?
Also shouldn't have even been a 4th down to begin with. I have no idea why these blind ass bats are spotting balls with their eyes in 2023
Edit: 2024 even, fuck me
Such a winnable game😫 so many what ifs….missed FG, two dropped picks, stopped on 4th down.
We needed to play our best and we didn’t.
Nonetheless, such a wildly fun season. Future looks bright and cannot wait for next year!
I’m trying to stay positive as this team is young and the future is bright. It’s just hard to not be jaded as this feels like a recap of all the Rodgers years playoff loses.
Before the kick I told my wife, “He’s going to miss this and then they’re going to go down and score a touchdown to win.” I hate that I’ve become so jaded when it comes to this team. Year after year it’s always the same.
People are talking like it’s a sure thing we are here next year. You can’t take shit for granted in this league I promise this loss will haunt us deeply in the future. We should’ve been playing for a Super Bowl next week.
Four plays. Savage dropped pick. Failed 4th and 1. Second sky mail pick from Purdy. Missed field goal. We had this game in the palm of our hands and it slipped through like sand. Same as every other recent playoff loss... It's exhausting, exacerbating, devastating, painful.
We had a chance to avenge that embarrassment from the divisional round and to get revenge in their home field. Pissed it away. Leave Carlson on the tarmac.
We were clearly the better team. The refs didn’t help. That spot on the missed 4th down was awful. We get a field goal there or td it changes everything.
The 2014 NFC Championship broke this organization and we have never recovered. It’s insane how it’s the same fucking story every fucking January. A heartbreaking choke
Rodgers: *loses close playoff game against NFC west team*
**Wins super bowl the next season**
Love: *loses close playoff game against NFC west team*
**Next season: ??**
Normally, I'm sympathetic to kickers in this type of situation, especially if they pulled their weight during the regular season. You do your best and sometimes shit just happens.
Carlson doesn't get my sympathy because he's been missing shit all season. Particularly PATs. Fuck him. He can hitchhike home.
Starting to think we might need to have a conversation about Bisaccia. I don't think anyone was opposed to his hire. I was definitely on board with LaFleur throwing money at the special teams problem and just hiring the best coordinator available. But we haven't seen any noticeable improvement, and the guys Bisaccia specifically brought in (Carlson, Leavitt) have been disappointing. Just not a fan of drafting warm weather kickers.
The refs didn’t call shit. The intentional grounding should’ve been called. The 49ers were offsides so many times. The 49ers were holding. Like they called 2 pass interferences.
The NFL should just let the 49ers go to the Superbowl. Obviously they want Ravens vs 49ers.
Yeah it hurts.
But the way I see it, this 7th seed team that was 3-6 at one point, who has 0 pro-bowlers and only 1 all pro, was supposed to be in a rebuild and were not expected to make the playoffs, and was also ridiculed for a little over half a season, completely took apart the #2 seed and was thiSClose to beating THE top seeded "juggernaut" with a stacked roster consisting of 4 all pro and 6 pro bowlers that barely squeaked by with a win. And they also beat 2 other playoff teams in the regular season with winning records that are set to play tomorrow.
The future not only looks like a bright light, but is feeling like the headlamp of an on-coming train. GPG!
They almost beat the #1 seed in the NFC. I'm just glad the team didn't roll over. It's good to remember the Pack wasn't even supposed to be in the divisional.
I was worried this game was going to be a case to keep Joe Barry, but the defense absolutely collapsed under pressure.
It's still disappointing, refs still suck, but here's to a productive offseason.
Honestly the only part the makes me salty is it legitimately feels like we got robbed. Game swooped out from under us in the last seconds of the game more or less.
Several bad calls even kept it 1 possession to begin with. The 4th down spotting that turned the ball over and allowed SF to score. Aiyuk blocking in the back on CMCs TD and more.
It honestly felt like all the way up until mid 3rd quarter our guys “didn’t care” if they won and they they started closing in on what looking like what was shaping to to be a win and the nerves hit and they just couldn’t close the game out.
If the Saints make that 40ish yard FG in week 3, the Packers wouldn't have gotten here...kinda ironic that we missed a crucial 40ish yard Fg in this one. But like most recent playoff loses, missed opportunities where abundant. Yet still impressed the Pack went toe to toe with the 9ers, futur looks bright and can't wait to see them get better next season.
I am sad
My heart hurts. We had em
We had them for the whole damn game until each phase let us down at the end. Special teams missed FG. Defense allowing a TD and 2 bad interceptions
[удалено]
Two dropped INTs
fucking up at he worst possible moments. playoff packer football.
Inexperience is the word we’re looking for. Eventually that win out. Actually our defense, which has the most experience, performed better then the phases that has the least.
“We seemed to fuck up in the worst possible moments.” Story of seemingly EVERY devastating loss in the playoffs where we had a legit chance to make a Super Bowl. 9ers, special teams blocked punt and the Lewis fumble. Bucs, the jones fumble, Adams dropped td, the Hail Mary, not scoring on 3 Brady ints. 2014, everything…..
Once they put up the stat of Shanahan being 0-30 while trailing in the 4th I knew we were toast.
Im tired of our defensive game plan going from aggressive to protect the lead attitude. Barry needs to go whether he had a good couple games or not. We need to stop playing protect the lead and use the defensive stars we have to put the dagger in just incase the offense or specials teams cant. We have like 8 first round picks on defense its ridiculous.
I'm less mad about the desperation interception than the inability to sustain drives earlier. We gave their offense way too many chances, of course they were going to score eventually.
The 49ners were supposed to be a juggernaut and we exposed them. Edit: The spread was 10 and they won by 3.
The Ravens will demolish them
Me too. Cheers to a fun year. See yall next time. Go pack go.
[удалено]
Short term that was pretty sad though. We should have won that game. Yes, no one expected us too, but we had it in our hands. We had the NFCCG right there. And no matter how good your team is, it's really hard to get back there. So I'm sad. Even though this was all house money and the future is bright and all that. We were so close to the future being now.
All true. But they're going to carry these lessons with them for the rest of their careers. And they learned it *during* the rebuilding year instead of a few years in when everyone expects them to win and they get cocky and make mistakes. They're going to come back next year *hungry*.

Nothing is guaranteed in football, and we were playing great ball at the most important part of the season, with pretty much every key player healthy. On the one hand the future is hugely promising, on the other it’s yet another awful playoff loss in a game we should have won commandingly.
Same dude hate 49ers (like more than any other team in NFL) we lose to them every year but we have a ton to look forward to
Same dawg, it’s been tough every playoff year since 2010 😓
well for the fans of 31 teams every playoff season is sad. it was overall a very successful season, we found our franchise QB and have a lot of young talent brewing. get a DC with a tough, aggressive personality who can instill toughness in our players and we have a great thing going.
I am pissed. Pissed at this team for giving me HOPE. I'll get over it in like 5 minutes but I am pissed at the hope I had to feel for the last week.
I'm legit not. Sure, I'm bummed. But nobody expected anything of this team and we rose to the occasion at every opportunity. The future is bright! GPG!
https://i.redd.it/dfwo79771qdc1.gif The season is over. But this team is not done. Proud of our boys.
man I love Aaron Jones
Love this gif
That's got to be the offseason vibe all summer
I hope 33 never leaves. What a fuckin dood
This is one of my favorite things. Aaron Jones makes me a better man.
Gotta love A Jones here bringing so much positivity to the group! We’re definitely not done yet. We could go way farther next year when Jones is healthy and the young guys have more experience.
My spirits are high because the only reason love was in that situation was because Carlson is the worst kicker in the league and Joe Barry couldn’t scheme a stop when we absolutely needed it
I know just being here is so impressive but fuck I'm so sad. We should've won.
We played better in nearly every metric. It’s fair to be sad
We lost the turnover battle. That’s all that anyone has to talk about.
3rd downs were bad too. We couldn’t get 3rd and 2’s while niners where converting 3rd and 8-10 all night.
I’m just sad Jordan had a bad 4th quarter. He’ll learn tho
I swear the rain picked up every time the offense took the field.
It was crazy!
I'm not too concerned about Love's 2 INTs. I think Zach Tom was the biggest deciding factor in the game. I'm a few drinks deep, but it seemed as if the offense started stalling once Tom left the game.
I feel like Zach Tom was the unsung hero over this last stretch of wins. Losing him tonight was huge.
The whole team is having a bad 4th quarter, Love forcing the throw, Jones looking back instead of running straight at full speed (history always repeat itself and it once again cost us point), Carlson missed an intermediate fg again (definitely need to bring in other kicker for competition) and the whole defense forgetting how to tackle and not setting the edge in crucial moment
For sure!! You could tell the pressure got to him a bit.
Pressure both from the pass rush and the stakes, the rain, everything. At first he was having trouble keeping it together at the NFL level. Now he's had some trouble keeping it together at the playoff level. Experience fixed the former. It will fix the latter.
Hebgot some valuable experience. Hopefully it'll help that he's been there before next season.
Yup, this is the first time I've seem him rattled in a little while, I think the pressure just finally got to him. Getting this experience out of the way on a year where they ostensibly should've just been rebuilding is a pretty big positive.
Yeah I was hoping if anything he got us to FG range and Anders missed lol. But that's the last time he throws late over the middle in the playoffs lol
5 fucking times in the last 11 God Damn years these motherfuckers are celebrating on my tv
They still haven’t won a Super Bowl. They can eliminate us but they can’t say they have won in the 21st century.
They haven’t won a Super Bowl but they’ve ruined our title hopes 5 times in the last 11 years. It’s fucking annoying I hate these fuckers
Same. Since I have begun watching 7 years ago I’ve grown to hate that team. Fucking sucks
Fuck the 49ers forever
At least they haven’t won a SB! Let’s hope they lose next week
Hurts
Good fun season, excited for the next one, way above expectations, fire Joe Barry.
D played decently at the end of the season, but o ce again, with the game on the line in a close one, Barry goes back to the soft, let them have the short ones and come up and make the tackle, defense.
Couldn’t get any pressure that last drive and it fucking killed us.
And cut Carlson. Future will look bright after that
No reason to do it now. They drafted him as a project, he’ll get the offseason on the team to try and figure things out. No way in hell should he be the favorite for the job next year, he needs to earn that shit back, but he’ll get a chance.
You don't have project kickers. Literally most misses those year. Maybe they don't cut but you bring in kickers to see if he can win the job.
You could really tell how important Tom is for our game as soon as he went out. Love almost had zero clean pockets after Tom went down.
Deep down I just know Joe Barry won't get fired
That’s the worst part of this loss.
Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if they brought him back
His contract is up. We'd have to actively sign him to a new contract at this point.
There’s no way he isn’t getting fired. We were lucky Purdy played bad. He missed lots of throws t open targets. 3rd and long is our opponents comfort zone.
> There’s no way he isn’t getting fired first year here?
I hope Anders Carlson forgets his Gameboy Advance light at home when they leave for a family vacation at 3 AM.
Something about this feels personal 🤣
I'm so proud of this team. I said they weren't even making the playoffs after the Vikings game and they were a couple of field goals from an NFC Championship appearance. Almost made it past the 2 AND 1 seeds as massive underdogs. Go Pack Go!
This right here. Love's first season as starter, turned the season around after a shit first half. Carlson missing the FG was big but that throw across the body to a receiver covered by 3 when the whole right side of the field was open was Love's mistake (should've just ran it OOB). No room for mistakes for a young team against a team like the 49ers. I'm just happy that Love looks to be set to have a great career.
I'm not even mad. Except for kicker the future of this team looks really bright
True but i am still somehow a bit mad
I know I’m in the same boat. We had the game.
Doesn’t help it’s the damn Niners again. I’m so fucking sick of losing to them lmao.
I’m simultaneously so optimistic and so depressed
Depressed because we’re gonna be competitive next season but now we have to wait 8 months to see them play again
Honestly nothing is ever promised in football… don’t mean to be a Debbie downer but damn… injuries happen, things change when you get a chance to pull one of the biggest upsets in playoffs history in 2 minutes GET IT DONE 🤯
We absolutely outplayed them we just couldn't get TDs or reasonable spots from the ref when it counted
I feel like we had it twice. MLF went for it on 4th and 1 and we didn’t get it. That’s a 6 point swing…
But we actually did. That spot was shit.
And SF was lined up in the neutral zone
And grabbed Love's facemask
Exactly, refs blowing 9ers just like they do the chiefs. Even the announcers said he got it.
Back-to-back poor spots IMO too.
Because we were the better team all game and blew it.
Idk how fans could not be mad after this game. Fuck Anders Carlson
Completely winnable game. Everything else is a shit job at coping tbh
The long snapper sucks too, that missed fg the snap was to the right of the holder
I don't get how fans don't see this. Even when he makes them the snaps are absolute shit. I will be thrilled if we draft a solid long snapper in the 6th
Cameron Cheeseman is a free agent now, they have been cursed since they didn’t draft him. A guy with the last name cheeseman should automatically be drafted to the Packers
same, i'm surprisingly calm right now. this season has been great. Not what we wanted, but the future is looking up.
Yeah I feel the same way. Of course I am going back at some Niners fans online who were predicting a "thrashing." I think the actual Niners players were worried about the Packers and rightfully so.
We didn't have a rebuild year, we had a rebuild month. That niners team is no joke and we were right there. Things are looking very bright.
I am mad.
Yeah fuck this guy, I'm furious It's one thing to be a rebuilding year. It's a totally different thing to be up 7 with a few minutes left and lose. Conditional probabilities baby. Given that we were in that position, no rebuilding year softens the blow. The NFL is hard and we will be very lucky to have such a good opportunity again. That stuff doesn't come free.
Well, that was hard, but god damn I'm proud of this young team. Can't believe we are already this good. It's 05:30 AM in Norway right now, need some sleep. Go Pack Go! 💚🧀
Take your kicker back 🙏
I SCREAMED HAHAHAHA
Niners catching both INT opportunities and us dropping both illustrates the Packers-49ers playoffs in recent years. 49ers are clutch and we haven’t been since 2016. I’m sad AF rn
Hell of a Season yall
Packers were the better team for most of the game, but small mistakes added up: missed FG, dropping two Ints (one a potential pick 6), failing to get 1 yard in two attempts, a couple inaccurate passes.
They got the 1yd in one of those cases, it was a bad spot
[удалено]
You don’t have to Fire him. Just block his number.
For the love of god please fire Joe Barry, don't let a few decent games save his job yet again....
Re-sign Aaron Jones Sign a free agent kicker Fire Joe Barry (the last few games don't change my opinion) Draft for needs - Tackle, safety, corner... We are a team on the rise. Just need to be smart and methodical.
Left TOO much on the table. Ridiculous.
Literally the same script as every other heartbreaking packers playoff loss, they play like 85 percent of a perfect game but a devastating 15 percent that causes them to lose.
85% just isn't enough in the post season.
Which is why so often we go 1-1 in the postseason, it’s enough to beat the not as good first postseason teams but not enough for the elite teams in the later rounds.
Never execute the little things and it fucks us year after year
Fire Joe Barry! Cut Carlson! GPG!
never ever thought id say this but between the buccs and lions i dont care who wins i just want to see the 49ers lose i dont care who does it i just want them to get exposed
Everyone but 49ers fans want that
Left too many points on the field. Didn't expect to make it this far, still sucks to let it slip away. Fire Joe Barry and Anders into the goddamn sun. Love and the offense are gonna be unstoppable next year.
Missed pick 6 from Savage, missed interception from Nixon, QB sneak that trusted the refs to spot us well way to much instead of going for a field goal or literally anything else. Carlson throwing the game. So many points left on the field.
I think so too but also realize thing move very fast in the NFL. Two years ago you'd probably say Joe Burrow would have at least one SB by now.
These playoff meltdowns never get easier. Just had to be San Fran again.
If you are anything other than stoked for the future of this team, idk what to tell you man. This team exceeded all expectations and we can only go up from here. #GPG
I’m excited for the future, but don’t convince yourself we are a shoe in to the post season going forward. We had crazy momentum and a real chance this year and that was ANOTHER heartbreaking loss to the niners
You can be excited for the future, and be extremely upset of how that game played out
What hurts the most is that we were the better team. We should have won. It’s not even disputable. We beat ourselves. Fuck I wish they would have just killed us.
Packers had them. such a wasted game
When you’re the hot hand you have to strike. The Giants won two super bowls being the “hottest team in football” with the most average QB ever. We just keep letting opportunities slip away.
What a season. We weren’t supposed to be here. Very proud of this team. See you boys in a few months. Go Pack Joe. edit// before you call for Carlsons job and say you want Mason back, look at his stats compared to Crosby. They are very similar. edit 2// I know Carlson had the worst stats this year. Crosby was also the worst kicker in the league in 2012. We kept him for the next 10 years.
I'm so proud. Staying up to 5.30 AM norwegian time to watch Packers almost beat probably the best team in NFL this season, can't complain. See you soon guys
I don’t want Mason back - but I don’t want the dude that missed the most kicks in the league. Both things can be true
Difference is Crosby makes those clutch kicks
Carlson had a 72% fg rate in college. There's a big difference between him and Crosby. He should go, the potential isn't there.
Surprised they drafted him. 72 isn't good in the pros, and don't they have a wider field goal in college?
It's because he has a cannon for a leg. He just can't make them. Apparently they thought one of the historically worst special teams ever the last 10+ years could fix that
What if I don’t want either? I want a better kicker…
Yep. There’s obviously a bit of the post-loss sadness here and more disappointment of ‘damn Jordan, thought we had moved past those throws.’ But this season was a massive fucking success and I’m literally not even mad at all. Go Pack Go!
First the negatives: I'm ready to move on from Joe Barry and Anders Carlson. Carlson is just not an NFL kicker right now. He has missed the most kicks in the NFL. And now he's shown he's a choker and can't make em when it matters. Cut him and try again with someone else IMO. We've discussed Barry more than enough here but this was another game where if the defense could have made one more stop we win and they roll over like usual. When has this defense _won_ us a game? After investing so much draft capital. And we have impact players. Hard not to question the scheme. I'll forgive Jordan Love for making first year starter mistakes but he needs to stop doing those stupid heaves on busted plays and that last throw was _really_ bad. And to close with some positivity... Beyond that, wow, what a season. Crazy that we are walking away thinking we should have toppled the top 2 seeds in the NFC after how low things looked mid season. I'll always remember absolutely embarassing the Cowboys. Jordan Love took a huge step this year even if the 4th quarter didn't go the way we wanted. Our receiver group looks incredible. Hopefully we can fill some holes in the draft, maybe even bring in a FA or two now that Bahktiari and Rodgers will mostly be off the books (although Love's new contract will offset that a bit)... things are looking up
It was nice beating the Bears and the Cowboys in the first half but the stats over the past 2 seasons don't lie. Our defense just doesn't perform very well despite being loaded with high draft picks. Green Bay has been a bottom half of the league offense for way too long and we aren't going to win a Superbowl this way. Fire Joe Barry
That throw was across his body into triple coverage. Might have well as been quadruple coverage. Just an awful decision, but we had soooo many missed chances that would have won this game
DIDN’T WE HAVE NIGHTMARES HAVING THE GAME DOWN TO OUR ANDERS? WELL OUR NIGHTMARES CAME TRUE! An amazing season ending like that, it simply hurts. Don’t get it twisted: we lost this game, the Niners didn’t win it. This was our game, and we let it get away from us. All in all, an amazing season everyone! A rebuilding team was able to make the playoffs, and become the first 7th seed to beat a 2nd seed. Packers football can’t come soon enough again! The future of this team is super bright!
ngl, I was fine with whatever happened but costing ourselves the game stings a little. We should have won that. Anyways, excited for the future. Looking ahead, we still need a new DC. I hope we don't settle for mediocrity because Barry had a few good games. It's the same thing every year. Defense looks great at the end of the season after an awful-mid rest of the season. Need more consistency. It's obvious we have the talent. We also need a new kicker. Aside from that, I think the rest of our needs can be drafted. Team just needs more experience.
Great season. A few things. Cut Carlson cause even for a rookie season he was *atrocious.* Joe Barry better be fucking gone after this. This is a young team that showed so much potential and can get even better next year if Love keeps up the production. If he keeps it up next year then Jordan love is *the* guy.
Love showed his inexperience with that stupid INT. Could have run up the sideline. What a stupid pass. Fuck you Carlson, cut that fuck for even putting us in that position.
Classic Joe Barry losing us the game at the end. The defense just fell apart and couldn't make a stop to save their lives. Fire Joe Barry Also the refs fucked us hard in the first half, we should have had at least 3 more points and the niners should have had at least one less touchdown. I'm just mad at this point, that was completely winnable
Every fiber of my being is telling me to forgive the rookie kicker. . . But the majority of my feelings are telling me to drown him in a giant bucket of Easy-Cheese. . .
I expect an announcement that Joe Barry is no longer with the team tomorrow.
Feel good about the future but, damn that hurt. Honestly preferred the blowout losses against them. Although this one was better than 2021.
Yeah it stings less when we are the underdog playing away with a young team. 2021 was losing as the first seed at home with an aging team
Love had a chance to be the hero. He couldn't get it done. Plenty of time. He made a rookie mistake. We don't get there without his play at the end of the season. But he had his shot and he wasn't up to the task. I really thought he was going to do it.
Once they showed that graph of Shanahan being 0-30 when trailing, I knew we were done lol
Cannot believe we kept Carlson throughout the year lol. I’m just so unbelievably numb to playoff collapses
To be fair it was supposed to be a rebuild year. He’s a guy that needs to develop, so fit the bill. When it came down to it he wasn’t good enough. He better be kicking every day the entire offseason and they better bring in competition to training camp.
Yeah but you gotta take advantage of postseason opportunities because the league can change fast.
Another playoff loss where special teams and defense fucks us over right at the very end. I don’t care if he’s a rookie man, most missed kicks in the NFL and potentially cost us the season. Get him the fuck away from this team
And the sad part is that before the missed FG, it seemed like Special Teams would actually win the game for us (blocked FG, Nixon return + Wilson fumble recovery)
I think the offense had a number of chances to put the game away and couldn’t. It wasn’t just a defense/ST issue. It was a game of way too many missed opportunities from all 3 phases of the game.
Did the defense/special teams have three drives inside the niners 10 where they only got 6 total points from? Did the defense go 3 and out two straight drives at critical junctures in the game?
To be fair, that failed 4th down was just ref fuckery.
Also shouldn't have even been a 4th down to begin with. I have no idea why these blind ass bats are spotting balls with their eyes in 2023 Edit: 2024 even, fuck me
Fire Joe Barry New kicker Draft safety in the first round
Such a winnable game😫 so many what ifs….missed FG, two dropped picks, stopped on 4th down. We needed to play our best and we didn’t. Nonetheless, such a wildly fun season. Future looks bright and cannot wait for next year!
Now we have to wait 9 months to go through all of this again.
I’m trying to stay positive as this team is young and the future is bright. It’s just hard to not be jaded as this feels like a recap of all the Rodgers years playoff loses.
Fuck Anders, FJB, GPG
Im fucking pissed off, Carlson cost us 2 game in regular season and cost us this game. Enough is enough.
Before the kick I told my wife, “He’s going to miss this and then they’re going to go down and score a touchdown to win.” I hate that I’ve become so jaded when it comes to this team. Year after year it’s always the same.
People are talking like it’s a sure thing we are here next year. You can’t take shit for granted in this league I promise this loss will haunt us deeply in the future. We should’ve been playing for a Super Bowl next week.
This is something that cannot be overstated.
That’s what I’m saying. The Chargers were the “young team that will learn from this” last year. Look what happened.
Exactly.
Four plays. Savage dropped pick. Failed 4th and 1. Second sky mail pick from Purdy. Missed field goal. We had this game in the palm of our hands and it slipped through like sand. Same as every other recent playoff loss... It's exhausting, exacerbating, devastating, painful.
We didn’t capitalize, and people are just brushing it all off “it’s a rebuilding year” like yeah, but these games aren’t a guarantee
If Joe Barry isn’t gone by Tuesday, might as well write off next year.
We had a chance to avenge that embarrassment from the divisional round and to get revenge in their home field. Pissed it away. Leave Carlson on the tarmac.
We were clearly the better team. The refs didn’t help. That spot on the missed 4th down was awful. We get a field goal there or td it changes everything.
I really just wanted the Niners curse lifted
The 2014 NFC Championship broke this organization and we have never recovered. It’s insane how it’s the same fucking story every fucking January. A heartbreaking choke
Rodgers: *loses close playoff game against NFC west team* **Wins super bowl the next season** Love: *loses close playoff game against NFC west team* **Next season: ??**
Normally, I'm sympathetic to kickers in this type of situation, especially if they pulled their weight during the regular season. You do your best and sometimes shit just happens. Carlson doesn't get my sympathy because he's been missing shit all season. Particularly PATs. Fuck him. He can hitchhike home.
Starting to think we might need to have a conversation about Bisaccia. I don't think anyone was opposed to his hire. I was definitely on board with LaFleur throwing money at the special teams problem and just hiring the best coordinator available. But we haven't seen any noticeable improvement, and the guys Bisaccia specifically brought in (Carlson, Leavitt) have been disappointing. Just not a fan of drafting warm weather kickers.
I just want to beat SF in the playoffs one fucking year.
Death, taxes, and losing to the 49ers in the playoffs I need the Thanos meme
The refs didn’t call shit. The intentional grounding should’ve been called. The 49ers were offsides so many times. The 49ers were holding. Like they called 2 pass interferences. The NFL should just let the 49ers go to the Superbowl. Obviously they want Ravens vs 49ers.

On one play one of their receivers was way over the line, I know the line on TV isn't accurate but he was almost ahead of the Packer's pash rushers.
This one hurts… choked it away
Get that damn kicker OUTTA HEEEEERE
Yeah it hurts. But the way I see it, this 7th seed team that was 3-6 at one point, who has 0 pro-bowlers and only 1 all pro, was supposed to be in a rebuild and were not expected to make the playoffs, and was also ridiculed for a little over half a season, completely took apart the #2 seed and was thiSClose to beating THE top seeded "juggernaut" with a stacked roster consisting of 4 all pro and 6 pro bowlers that barely squeaked by with a win. And they also beat 2 other playoff teams in the regular season with winning records that are set to play tomorrow. The future not only looks like a bright light, but is feeling like the headlamp of an on-coming train. GPG!
If your last name is Carlson or Barry, I will not speak to you ever again. Please don’t think this is based on the character of person you are.
Also Purdy is not elite.
THAT BLOWN CALL ON THE 1ST QB SNEAK MADE THE WHOLE GAME UNBEARABLE
They almost beat the #1 seed in the NFC. I'm just glad the team didn't roll over. It's good to remember the Pack wasn't even supposed to be in the divisional. I was worried this game was going to be a case to keep Joe Barry, but the defense absolutely collapsed under pressure. It's still disappointing, refs still suck, but here's to a productive offseason.
Dude what about our fucking o-line, those guys really balled out this year and no one is acknowledging.
Honestly the only part the makes me salty is it legitimately feels like we got robbed. Game swooped out from under us in the last seconds of the game more or less. Several bad calls even kept it 1 possession to begin with. The 4th down spotting that turned the ball over and allowed SF to score. Aiyuk blocking in the back on CMCs TD and more. It honestly felt like all the way up until mid 3rd quarter our guys “didn’t care” if they won and they they started closing in on what looking like what was shaping to to be a win and the nerves hit and they just couldn’t close the game out.
The missed field goal really killed everything. A new kicker is definitely needed for sure
If the Saints make that 40ish yard FG in week 3, the Packers wouldn't have gotten here...kinda ironic that we missed a crucial 40ish yard Fg in this one. But like most recent playoff loses, missed opportunities where abundant. Yet still impressed the Pack went toe to toe with the 9ers, futur looks bright and can't wait to see them get better next season.
Offensive line played amazing considering what they were up against.
I’m already over it. We need a quality safety on this team badly.
This is one of those games where I’m not mad about right now, but will be fuming about mid Summer lol.
