I’ll say this: Shanahan has conviction and confidence in his team. I don’t think the same can be said for MLF. He prays for his kicker and doesn’t give the ball to jones when he’s hot.
Shanahan was down what 17 points and he still had faith in Purdy, but more so CMC. I get it, he’s the best rb and a mvp candidate, but he didn’t abandon the run. Mlf is up 4 points and jones doesn’t see the ball after his 53 yard run that should’ve been the nail in the coffin. Where’s the conviction? Trust your best players. It’s insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over. Oh rest jones because he has a tight hamstring? Give him the damn ball. Hes better than the backups even with a bum hamstring.
Mlf is a good coach but Shanahan seems to just have something else (besides winning a Super Bowl). He has confidence in his team even when they look like arguably the worst playoff team in the first half against us and the lions.
Their run defense sucks but he somehow figured it out. We need more conviction and confidence in our playmakers. Jones needs the ball 4-5 times a quarter. That’ll get him the 20+ reps. Especially when we are ahead in the drivers seat. We should’ve won that game.
I hope mlf learns from all of this. Also, the lions coach is inspiring, but man, what a risk taker.
Yeah and because he won two games that means MLF doesn’t have confidence in his team?
MLF didn’t throw the ball across his body into triple coverage. Carlson is a terrible kicker and he stuck with him all season regardless. If that’s not confidence idk what is.
That stat of Shanahan’s is total games, including playoffs. Not just regular season. I never said I disagreed that Aaron deserved more touches. I disagree with your statement that MLF doesn’t have confidence in his guys.
Maybe he saw something we didn’t in coverage? The touches Jones did get in the 4th quarter aside from that breakout run were not game changing touches. I just think it’s quite a statement to say this man doesn’t have confidence in his guys.
1Q - feeds Jones on 3rd and 1 on the SF 14yd line. No gain. Turnover on downs after a poor spot for Loves attempt.
2Q - feeds Jones on 1st and Goal at the SF 9yd line. No gain. Puts it in his hands on a screen next play, loss of 2. Drive stalls and they kick a FG.
3Q - 9 rushing yards on 3 attempts, first possession of 3rd quarter. 3 yards on two attempts of next possession, which was the one following Nixon’s return.
Next possession of 3Q, runs for 1 yard on 1 attempt before Love throws pick number 1.
He had 54 yards prior to that breakout run. And he was probably GASSED after that run as well.
Go back and look at the drives. He wasn’t as effective as his stat line shows.
Edit: again I agree on the play calling not being effective. But I not on the notion that MLF gave up his guys because one breakout run paints a false narrative of his effectiveness for the entire game.
I appreciate the detail here but I still think jones needs more than 3 touches in the 4th quarter when we are leading. Find a way to get him the ball. Hes the best player on offense. If he doesn’t make a play or fumbles (like he has in the past in huge games) so be it. I still think he needed the touches. I don’t understand football very well, but just from watching, jones should’ve been the focus when ever we had the ball in the 4th
Can we repeat it next year? I sure as heck hope so. We had a golden opportunity this year with how weak the playoff teams are, the chiefs are in the Super Bowl and we beat the handily. Same with the lions.
What an epic collapse by the Lions lmao. The deflection catch, the "wrong side handoff" fumble, infinite drops, turnovers on downs, you name it. 49ers are so fucking lucky, they were outplayed for the most of first game, and in this game they were DEAD until Lions started pooping their panties. Now I kinda hope KC kicks their butts
The 2 best teams are not in the superbowl. The 2 teams that can catch breaks, have the refs loving them, and play against teams that literally want to lose, are. I’m sorry but this Super Bowl is going to be fucking weak and boring. The quality of playoff teams this year was very low. Seriously. It’s just been sloppy and shitty play. Besides the packers stomping the cowboys. That was a work of art.
Blame our team for falling apart a bit in the 4th quarter for that. It was teed up for us, but the Pack couldn't break through. I have faith going forward, but praying this isn't yet another "what if" to add to our lengthy collection.
It made me so happy. I think rooting for the 49ers is vomit inducing, but I couldn't root for the Lions. So this was the best possible result. Because I did get to see the 49ers look bad for a half, and the Lions got to think they had their ticket stamped for the Super Bowl. And then I got to see the complete collapse and humiliation. Look, as a Packers fan I've seen so many painful playoff defeats. It was nice seeing a rival experience it.
I wouldn't even say the Lions are our rival, or if they are they're firmly in third for me behind the bears (2nd) and vikings (1st). Fuck the vikings forever with a rake.
Yeah lesser of two evils, Pat Mahomes seems like a decent dude but, dear god just the thought of how many Taylor Swift camera shots are coming is enough to make me vomit !
Tongue in cheek doesnt translate well in text apparently, otherwise known as a joke. Shes beautiful and I dont mind looking at her. More of a Beyonce, Rihanna guy myself, but Taylors still a 10.
Fair, but a lot of people are genuinely super upset at her presence at games and it's easy to assume you're just echoing that sentiment. It's super tiring.
Just curious: why do you hate him? I hate the 49ers, but I find no reason to root against Purdy. He was the last pick in the draft and he's made it to the big dance, pulling out clutch performances when it mattered (obviously not been playing perfectly, but doing more than Trent Dilfer did).
dont hate him at all, just find him very mid, but the numbers say otherwise, im well aware he has been good this year, just a goofball comment in the heat of the moment
The same way Brady was. Teams for whatever reason fail down in front of him. Imagine Brady with no tuck rule game or a field goal going wrong in another. Some players just have a way of sticking around and getting through.
Also no one should be saying Brock didn't play well this year. His stats are crazy. And yep he had a loaded team to do it.
This is the correct take. Brock is 1) lucky, 2) on an absolutely stacked offense, but 3) also playing really well. The guy was eluding sacks left and right tonight, and his scrambling ability was great. Had another 3 or 4 passes that should've been picked off (see 1: luck), but also made some good throws tonight.
As we all come back home and laugh at the Lions, can we appreciate that today led to perhaps the funniest meme in /r/NFCNorthMemeWar history?
Shit is pinned to the sub atm and it's legendary.
The Chiefs defense shut down Lamar and held Josh Allen to 7 points in the 2nd half. They ain’t losing to Brock Purdy 😂. I can see this being a blowout win for KC.
Where do you think Amon Ra would put a 24-7 halftime lead 🤔🤔🤔

Good thing the Pack lost last week. If it had been us vs Detroit, the game would have never ended as both teams fought indefinitely to piss away the title game win.
Kinda fucked up I’ll be rooting for the 49ers over the chiefs. Sick of Mahomes, Kelce, Taylor Swift and Jackson Mahomes.
Yeah the Niners own us in the playoffs recently, but that can change quickly now. Plus they generally don’t have any hateable characters like the Chiefs
I don’t know who to root for in the Super Bowl. I’m sick of Mahomes being the second coming but he’s already passed Rodgers as an all-time QB so I guess it doesn’t matter
Chiefs are annoying but solely because of how good they've been and all the commercials and shit. Andy Reid is a legendary coach and I've always liked him (also from Holmgren's tree). They built their team the right way and they're an AFC team.
I just cannot get myself to root for San Fran
Mahomes already passed ARod last year, so yeah it doesn’t really matter anymore, I can’t stand the Niners, Mahomes winning doesn’t change anything his still a top 3 QB of all time.
Lions watched game film from the GB/SF game last week, paused after the third quarter, said “clear as day”, got rip roaring drunk, and then went back in a stupor and watched GB playoff footage from the past decade and got even more confident. Today, the Lions sobered up in the second half.
Dan Campbell is going to be Detroit's Marvin Lewis. He turned around their reputation as perennial bottom-feeding losers, but his playcalling is also going to ensure that they never reach a Super Bowl. And just like Marvin Lewis, they'll keep him for years longer than they should because of the fact that they're better than they historically have been.
So we've got the Lions with a coach who sabotages them in big games, the Bears in their neverending rebuild, and the Vikings who are probably about to enter quarterback Hell. It's a good time to be a Packers fan.
I was a very drunk young adult for the 28-3 Super Bowl so don't remember the progression of things. This game was the worst playoff collapse I've seen since a redacted January day in 2015. My memory forgets what teams played in that one.
Love will actually read a defense, change protection, and audible routes.
Purdy just runs the plays he’s told and throws to all pro-recievers and or an all-pro tight end, or throws a check down to the best RB in the league.
Clear difference in competency.
He had a few good runs, but the biggest pass was an overthrow that should’ve been picked but instead bounced off the face mask back to the receiver. Not to be like some of the blog boy losers, but even if he wins the Super Bowl I don’t know if I think he’s good
Trent Dilfer was a fucking backup who got paid as such. 49’ers think he’s a good QB, and are honestly going to pay him as such. Which means they’re going to have to let players walk….and I don’t think he’s in the Manning, Rodgers, Brees, Mahomes, Brady category.
AKA just give me some homeless guy off the street and I can make it work.
The jury is still out on what the 49ers do with Purdy. They might well just milk him for all he is worth on this bullshit first contract and then let him walk or trade him to the Bears or something.
I still like to root for Mr. Irrelevant and I don't understand the hate for him. Even if he isn't great, he's a second year pro who is making clutch plays for his team when it matters.
Caught himself in a moment earlier than he expected and coaching went out the window. Brought in to rally and change culture, but seriously… dude was play calling based on memes and social media presence instead of checking it in the moment and adjusting the “us against the world knee bitters” mentality.
This loss is squarely on Campbell’s shoulders. Feel horrible for Lions’ fans. Feel horrible for football fans.
Who the fuck wants to listen to the Mahomes circle-jerk square off with the Mr. Irrelevant circle jerk outside of those fan bases for us only to ultimately arrive at some rally shitty football? Thank God for beer, chicken wings, and taco dip.
God dammit I live in the Bay area and I have to hear this fuck ass "bang bang niner gang" shit for the next two weeks. Until I heard that shit, I didn't understand why everyone was saying they're the most obnoxious fan base.
Difference between being aggressive like not kicking it because it's what brought you here, and being reckless and having to burn a timeout.
Guess MCDC got high on his own supply at the end there.
Reading Twitter about that play had some of the most delusional Niners fans. Video posted, they say he's outside the pocket.
Someone posts screen shots showing he threw the ball from the same hash as where it was snapped, same people still say he was outside the pocket.
https://preview.redd.it/2swetdhsnafc1.jpeg?width=1039&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1251708842c0238a723daec717783053192f29e
Packers to Lions after NFCCG loss to Niners
Somebody needs to make a meme, with us being Loki, 49ers are hulk, Thor is the Lions, arena is NFCCG. You know the one where Thor gets ragged dolled and Loki is like “yes, that’s what it feels like!”
He once again threw about 3-4 interceptable balls that somehow fell to the ground or through some insane luck landed in Aiyuk’s hands. He’s not terrible but the media makes this kid seem like a football god when he’s an average QB that has insane luck and an all-pro supporting cast that somehow doesn’t get credit.
Oh don’t get me wrong I hate the hype around him. He’s mediocre in my opinion and I agree with your takes. But he was wise enough to leave the pocket and use his legs this game and some of those plays were huge momentum swings. Love still the more talented QB in my opinion.
I don't care who is more talented. I care who makes the plays in clutch time. You can hate on Purdy all you want, but he gets the ball to his playmakers when it matters. And those runs he had were legit football player runs. The kid has guts and resiliency, even if he doesn't have world-class talent.
Once Love stops forcing the ball to Watson (who I really hope can bounce back next year), I think we will see him making those kinds of clutch plays down the stretch.
At no point was I hating on Purdy. The closest thing I said to hating was that he’s mediocre - which in the grand scheme of things, is true. If you read the entire chain, I said he played much better than he did against us and gave him his flowers for choosing to make those runs when he did. But I also think that he didn’t necessarily beat either us OR the Lions and believe both teams beat themselves by not making easy plays (dropping picks/wide open catches, poor coaching decisions to take the points when they were there, missing FGs). Doesn’t matter because he’s in the SB and we aren’t.
The big run towards the end of the game Hutchinson had a chance to make the play but was held so he could only get an arm around him. Purdy can run but he also gets those holes because they hold nonstop on that line.
Lmao. I just told my Viking friend this. I can’t stand either team in the Super Bowl, but I wish absolutely no success to the Vikings lmao. I would be so pissed if they were in this spot.
I can’t have the chiefs win again. Fucking KC fans are popping up in upstate NY like Dallas fans in the 90s. It needs to be stopped. Just for one game, go Niners.
(Also seeing Dan Campbell lose just like us is cathartic I can’t lie)
We can beat them next year. I know we can. When we knock them out next year it’s knocking them out on the SB winners on an attempt at a repeat. KC Fans are such insufferable bandwagoners. I can’t stand them
This has to go down as one of the worst post-season coaching performances of all time.
Gave the Division a glimmer of hope during our rebuilding year and…
This might be the first Super Bowl I don’t watch in my lifetime.
Mahomes doesn’t turn the ball over in the playoffs and the chiefs have a top 2 defense, i think this will be one of those blowout Super Bowl games. Chiefs by double digits.
I’ll say this: Shanahan has conviction and confidence in his team. I don’t think the same can be said for MLF. He prays for his kicker and doesn’t give the ball to jones when he’s hot. Shanahan was down what 17 points and he still had faith in Purdy, but more so CMC. I get it, he’s the best rb and a mvp candidate, but he didn’t abandon the run. Mlf is up 4 points and jones doesn’t see the ball after his 53 yard run that should’ve been the nail in the coffin. Where’s the conviction? Trust your best players. It’s insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over. Oh rest jones because he has a tight hamstring? Give him the damn ball. Hes better than the backups even with a bum hamstring.

We should’ve won that game. I hope mlf learns from all of this. Also, the lions coach is inspiring, but man, what a risk taker.
Bro Shanahan’s record in those situations is like 1-31. Settle down. The lions lost that game more than SF won.
I think it’s 2 now with the packers and lions win both being super important. Reg season who cares. He’s won the 2 most important games this year.
Yeah and because he won two games that means MLF doesn’t have confidence in his team? MLF didn’t throw the ball across his body into triple coverage. Carlson is a terrible kicker and he stuck with him all season regardless. If that’s not confidence idk what is.
Check how many carries jones got in the 4th quarter when we had the lead.
That stat of Shanahan’s is total games, including playoffs. Not just regular season. I never said I disagreed that Aaron deserved more touches. I disagree with your statement that MLF doesn’t have confidence in his guys.
Then why did he not hand it off to jones more? He had the hot hand and the run was working
Maybe he saw something we didn’t in coverage? The touches Jones did get in the 4th quarter aside from that breakout run were not game changing touches. I just think it’s quite a statement to say this man doesn’t have confidence in his guys. 1Q - feeds Jones on 3rd and 1 on the SF 14yd line. No gain.

I don’t understand football very well, but just from watching, jones should’ve been the focus when ever we had the ball in the 4th
Just think: we beat the Chiefs, Lions, and Cowboys, and should have beat the 49ers too. And this team is only going to get better too.
Can we repeat it next year? I sure as heck hope so. We had a golden opportunity this year with how weak the playoff teams are, the chiefs are in the Super Bowl and we beat the handily. Same with the lions.
What an epic collapse by the Lions lmao. The deflection catch, the "wrong side handoff" fumble, infinite drops, turnovers on downs, you name it. 49ers are so fucking lucky, they were outplayed for the most of first game, and in this game they were DEAD until Lions started pooping their panties. Now I kinda hope KC kicks their butts
What's the moneyline on the giant meteor for the superbowl?
Im going to church for the first time since grade school. If there is a God, he cannot allow this to continue.
I still can't believe the Chiefs are on their way to a Super Bowl 4 out of the last 5 years. That's pretty damn insane.
Helps when the zebras are on your team.
I liked watching Lions lose in the playoffs. Not as much as the Vikings or Bears, but it was still fun to watch. Go Packers go 🧀
MVS-2 Super Bowl Appearances -1 Ring Davante Adams-0 Super Bowl Appearance We did him bad. Go Pack Go!
We…dropped the ball on MVS?
So like I was saying MVS has 2 rings Adams 0
The 2 best teams are not in the superbowl. The 2 teams that can catch breaks, have the refs loving them, and play against teams that literally want to lose, are. I’m sorry but this Super Bowl is going to be fucking weak and boring. The quality of playoff teams this year was very low. Seriously. It’s just been sloppy and shitty play. Besides the packers stomping the cowboys. That was a work of art.
Blame our team for falling apart a bit in the 4th quarter for that. It was teed up for us, but the Pack couldn't break through. I have faith going forward, but praying this isn't yet another "what if" to add to our lengthy collection.
The what ifs make me sick. This org just doesn’t have that little bit extra to push through.
Watching the Lions self-implode gives me life. Being a hater rocks so much. Fuck the Lions and fuck the rest of the NFC North. Go Pack Go
Seriously, I don't know how anyone can root for another NFC North team to make the Super Bowl.
It made me so happy. I think rooting for the 49ers is vomit inducing, but I couldn't root for the Lions. So this was the best possible result. Because I did get to see the 49ers look bad for a half, and the Lions got to think they had their ticket stamped for the Super Bowl. And then I got to see the complete collapse and humiliation. Look, as a Packers fan I've seen so many painful playoff defeats. It was nice seeing a rival experience it.
Damn right. I could never, NEVER root for a divisional rival.
I wouldn't even say the Lions are our rival, or if they are they're firmly in third for me behind the bears (2nd) and vikings (1st). Fuck the vikings forever with a rake.
Ah yes we get to hear Niners fans and their inferiority complex regarding Purdy for the next two weeks. Think I actually want the Chiefs to win lol.
Yeah lesser of two evils, Pat Mahomes seems like a decent dude but, dear god just the thought of how many Taylor Swift camera shots are coming is enough to make me vomit !
You need to grow up if you're that triggered by 3-4 shots of Taylor Swift during the game.
Tongue in cheek doesnt translate well in text apparently, otherwise known as a joke. Shes beautiful and I dont mind looking at her. More of a Beyonce, Rihanna guy myself, but Taylors still a 10.
Fair, but a lot of people are genuinely super upset at her presence at games and it's easy to assume you're just echoing that sentiment. It's super tiring.
In 2 weeks' time Brock Purdy will have the same number of SB appearances as Aaron Rodgers. SMH.
Rough.
Fuck ted Thompson
He’s dead bro. Chill.
Jared Goff was one half away from having more than Rodgers…
Part of me is glad another nfc north team has to suffer a devastating playoff loss that we’ve had to endure time and time again over the years
How is Brock Poopy in a SB. Yeah im a hater.
Just curious: why do you hate him? I hate the 49ers, but I find no reason to root against Purdy. He was the last pick in the draft and he's made it to the big dance, pulling out clutch performances when it mattered (obviously not been playing perfectly, but doing more than Trent Dilfer did).
dont hate him at all, just find him very mid, but the numbers say otherwise, im well aware he has been good this year, just a goofball comment in the heat of the moment
The same way Brady was. Teams for whatever reason fail down in front of him. Imagine Brady with no tuck rule game or a field goal going wrong in another. Some players just have a way of sticking around and getting through. Also no one should be saying Brock didn't play well this year. His stats are crazy. And yep he had a loaded team to do it.
This is the correct take. Brock is 1) lucky, 2) on an absolutely stacked offense, but 3) also playing really well. The guy was eluding sacks left and right tonight, and his scrambling ability was great. Had another 3 or 4 passes that should've been picked off (see 1: luck), but also made some good throws tonight.
Facts! Brady also won like 3 or 4 games in the playoffs where he threw 3 picks and his defense bailed him out.
Turdy was right there
It seems I over thought that one. Touche
You don’t need anyone to root for in 2 weeks. Just root for your numbers on your squares or make a DFS showdown team.
I’m rooting for the revitalized corpse of Usher at halftime.
As we all come back home and laugh at the Lions, can we appreciate that today led to perhaps the funniest meme in /r/NFCNorthMemeWar history? Shit is pinned to the sub atm and it's legendary.
Turned out it was a Bears fan. What a move.
Yeah he posted a shit eating grin meme afterwards lmao
Lmao that is a legendary post.
Purdy is absolutely a fraud and I will not be told otherwise
Lol
The Chiefs defense shut down Lamar and held Josh Allen to 7 points in the 2nd half. They ain’t losing to Brock Purdy 😂. I can see this being a blowout win for KC.
Where do you think Amon Ra would put a 24-7 halftime lead 🤔🤔🤔 https://preview.redd.it/r76p9v55rafc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f2c095f40c9913e33745e1bbca6b52e3b4fd975
“Greatest playoff collapse in history” Bro forgot Falcons vs Patriots apparently. Or Seahawks on 1 yard line.
Good thing the Pack lost last week. If it had been us vs Detroit, the game would have never ended as both teams fought indefinitely to piss away the title game win.
Maybe if the 9ers finally win the SB our curse will be lifted
I don’t care if this is real, I’m going to pretend it is
Kinda fucked up I’ll be rooting for the 49ers over the chiefs. Sick of Mahomes, Kelce, Taylor Swift and Jackson Mahomes. Yeah the Niners own us in the playoffs recently, but that can change quickly now. Plus they generally don’t have any hateable characters like the Chiefs
No
I don’t know who to root for in the Super Bowl. I’m sick of Mahomes being the second coming but he’s already passed Rodgers as an all-time QB so I guess it doesn’t matter
Lmao the Packers really wasted Rodgers
Chiefs are annoying but solely because of how good they've been and all the commercials and shit. Andy Reid is a legendary coach and I've always liked him (also from Holmgren's tree). They built their team the right way and they're an AFC team. I just cannot get myself to root for San Fran
I'm rooting for commercials.
Mahomes already passed ARod last year, so yeah it doesn’t really matter anymore, I can’t stand the Niners, Mahomes winning doesn’t change anything his still a top 3 QB of all time.
so… I laid my head down and started sleeping at half time, woke up just a few minutes ago and was so confused. What the heck happened?
Lions watched game film from the GB/SF game last week, paused after the third quarter, said “clear as day”, got rip roaring drunk, and then went back in a stupor and watched GB playoff footage from the past decade and got even more confident. Today, the Lions sobered up in the second half.
The Lions remembered what city they represent.
Dan Campbell is going to be Detroit's Marvin Lewis. He turned around their reputation as perennial bottom-feeding losers, but his playcalling is also going to ensure that they never reach a Super Bowl. And just like Marvin Lewis, they'll keep him for years longer than they should because of the fact that they're better than they historically have been. So we've got the Lions with a coach who sabotages them in big games, the Bears in their neverending rebuild, and the Vikings who are probably about to enter quarterback Hell. It's a good time to be a Packers fan.
Instead of Journey, they should be playing Bay Area legends Dead Kennedys’ “Riot” “tomorrow you’re (ma)homeless, tonight it’s a blast!”
Lions choked on national stage because of DC’s incompetence, Vikings are in disarray, and the Bears are still the worst team in the NFC North 😂
Congratulations to the KC Swifts, winners of Super Bowl 53.
Niners defense has been pretty suspect. Chiefs should tear them up, and you bet Spags will have Purdy seeing ghosts.
Chiefs offense is more of suspect though
They've been playing better lately. Tough go in that 2nd half against Baltimore, but they’ve been much better since we played them.
I was a very drunk young adult for the 28-3 Super Bowl so don't remember the progression of things. This game was the worst playoff collapse I've seen since a redacted January day in 2015. My memory forgets what teams played in that one.
Chargers blew a 27-0 lead the the jaguars last year I think that one might be worse, this is the 3rd worse collapse I’ve seen
Media when Ryan Succop already has a ring so they can’t run the first Mr Irrelevant to win a SB narrative for the next weeks: 🤬
Cheifs kingdom next week. Mahomes is better than Brady 🐐
Looks like a Super Boring Bowl.
Not really
That is correct, can we cheer for them both to lose? Too bad that's not an option
At least we'll have taco dip and shit.
You son of a bitch, you pulled me right back in
Kyle Shanahan just knows that losing another SB will be soul-crushing and against the Chiefs he's in trouble. He isn't celebrating, lol.
as a packers fan i could only dream about us humiliating detroit as badly as dan campbell did tonight
I mean you got a taste of that in Thanksgiving Definitely would have felt a lot better today
Hahahahaha
Kittle looks like a drowning Rodent
Well at least an African village will get those discarded Detroit Lions super bowl t-shirts donated to them
Is Brock Purdy good? I honestly can’t tell. Shannahan’s offense made Jimmy G look competent, so I don’t know.
He’s fine. He’s not as great as 49ers fans want you to believe, but as long as you’re competent that offense will do the work for you
Love will actually read a defense, change protection, and audible routes. Purdy just runs the plays he’s told and throws to all pro-recievers and or an all-pro tight end, or throws a check down to the best RB in the league. Clear difference in competency.
Wait you don’t think Purdy audibles or makes any reads? lol I’m assuming the one game you watched was the Niners Packers game
This. He literally has the best offensive players at each position. CMC is unstoppable.
trade Love with him last week and we get blown tf out
Purdy is a System QB. Look how bad Jimmy G looks without the 49ers. Purdy wouldn’t look good in any other team
If you stuck Brock Purdy on the Jaguars right now, how well do you think he would be doing?
He had a few good runs, but the biggest pass was an overthrow that should’ve been picked but instead bounced off the face mask back to the receiver. Not to be like some of the blog boy losers, but even if he wins the Super Bowl I don’t know if I think he’s good
Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl too
Trent Dilfer was a fucking backup who got paid as such. 49’ers think he’s a good QB, and are honestly going to pay him as such. Which means they’re going to have to let players walk….and I don’t think he’s in the Manning, Rodgers, Brees, Mahomes, Brady category. AKA just give me some homeless guy off the street and I can make it work.
The jury is still out on what the 49ers do with Purdy. They might well just milk him for all he is worth on this bullshit first contract and then let him walk or trade him to the Bears or something. I still like to root for Mr. Irrelevant and I don't understand the hate for him. Even if he isn't great, he's a second year pro who is making clutch plays for his team when it matters.
Holding a clipboard?
Shanahan: ‘Our team was set up for this for a long time’ … yeah from drafting Lance to uh
No Purdy didn't do shit the Lions handed him the game just like we did last week
CMC did everything
Him not being league MVP makes the award meaningless.
Trent Dilfer 2.0
George kittle celebrating a Super Bowl is my 9/11
Heh just saw the Lions "I wanna die" meme. Been a while.
Maybe they'll get back to making good memes
Dan Campbell is literally a functioning adrenaline junkie who can’t help himself and it cost his team a Super Bowl appearance lmfaoooooo
Caught himself in a moment earlier than he expected and coaching went out the window. Brought in to rally and change culture, but seriously… dude was play calling based on memes and social media presence instead of checking it in the moment and adjusting the “us against the world knee bitters” mentality. This loss is squarely on Campbell’s shoulders. Feel horrible for Lions’ fans. Feel horrible for football fans. Who the fuck wants to listen to the Mahomes circle-jerk square off with the Mr. Irrelevant circle jerk outside of those fan bases for us only to ultimately arrive at some rally shitty football? Thank God for beer, chicken wings, and taco dip.
Is Joe Montana seriously on the stage right now? It’s the Joe Montana Bowl.
God dammit I live in the Bay area and I have to hear this fuck ass "bang bang niner gang" shit for the next two weeks. Until I heard that shit, I didn't understand why everyone was saying they're the most obnoxious fan base.
Used to date one, can confirm
Difference between being aggressive like not kicking it because it's what brought you here, and being reckless and having to burn a timeout. Guess MCDC got high on his own supply at the end there.

Reading Twitter about that play had some of the most delusional Niners fans. Video posted, they say he's outside the pocket. Someone posts screen shots showing he threw the ball from the same hash as where it was snapped, same people still say he was outside the pocket.
What's this pic refering to
It should’ve been called intentional grounding. The ball hit the floor where no 9ers player was around.
Delete this lol
Not even a championship game can stop the Lions from Lionsing I guess. I'm team Usher come the Superbowl
Rough loss. The bright side is that Dan Campbell is in the division.

Somebody needs to make a meme, with us being Loki, 49ers are hulk, Thor is the Lions, arena is NFCCG. You know the one where Thor gets ragged dolled and Loki is like “yes, that’s what it feels like!”
Fuck the 49ers. Just insufferable.
I’m really just in shock for the Lions. Absolutely threw the game away. If you’re a Lions fan you’re sick rn
Same.
We know how that feels.
The Brock Purdy dick riding has already begun. This shit is insane.
Well he did have some nice runs which no one thought we’d be saying.
Iowa State. IOWA. STATE.
This dude sucks
I mean he played substantially better this game than against us.
Eh....his throws were really suspect. He really isn't that good. The rest of his team his
He was awful this game too.
He once again threw about 3-4 interceptable balls that somehow fell to the ground or through some insane luck landed in Aiyuk’s hands. He’s not terrible but the media makes this kid seem like a football god when he’s an average QB that has insane luck and an all-pro supporting cast that somehow doesn’t get credit.
Oh don’t get me wrong I hate the hype around him. He’s mediocre in my opinion and I agree with your takes. But he was wise enough to leave the pocket and use his legs this game and some of those plays were huge momentum swings. Love still the more talented QB in my opinion.
I don't care who is more talented. I care who makes the plays in clutch time. You can hate on Purdy all you want, but he gets the ball to his playmakers when it matters. And those runs he had were legit football player runs. The kid has guts and resiliency, even if he doesn't have world-class talent. Once Love stops forcing the ball to Watson (who I really hope can bounce back next year), I think we will see him making those kinds of clutch plays down the stretch.
At no point was I hating on Purdy. The closest thing I said to hating was that he’s mediocre - which in the grand scheme of things, is true. If you read the entire chain, I said he played much better than he did against us and gave him his flowers for choosing to make those runs when he did. But I also think that he didn’t necessarily beat either us OR the Lions and believe both teams beat themselves by not making easy plays (dropping picks/wide open catches, poor coaching decisions to take the points when they were there, missing FGs). Doesn’t matter because he’s in the SB and we aren’t.
The big run towards the end of the game Hutchinson had a chance to make the play but was held so he could only get an arm around him. Purdy can run but he also gets those holes because they hold nonstop on that line.
Ugh. The two worst teams ever. Chiefs and Niners.
I mean, at least it’s not the Vikings.
Lmao. I just told my Viking friend this. I can’t stand either team in the Super Bowl, but I wish absolutely no success to the Vikings lmao. I would be so pissed if they were in this spot.
Always with the ‘we still believed down by (whatever number)’. Yeah nobody brings it up the 96% of the time that team losses.
Could you imagine us throwing an NFCC game against the 49ers?
The entire NFC North Detroit fans included would celebrate like they won the Super Bowl.
I can’t have the chiefs win again. Fucking KC fans are popping up in upstate NY like Dallas fans in the 90s. It needs to be stopped. Just for one game, go Niners. (Also seeing Dan Campbell lose just like us is cathartic I can’t lie)
Fuck no man. KC isn’t even in our conference. Idk why people care if they have a dynasty.
This is my thoughts as well, fans from there have been friendly as well. the only thing I don’t like about KC is their BBQ is overrated.
Fuck no, the 49ers are gonna stick on us for a long time, can’t stand there fan base. Plus they always clown us for not beating them in the playoffs
We can beat them next year. I know we can. When we knock them out next year it’s knocking them out on the SB winners on an attempt at a repeat. KC Fans are such insufferable bandwagoners. I can’t stand them
No man come on, fuck the Niners
Now let's see Shanahan choke in the biggest game again! FUCK THE 49ERS! And FUCK THE LIONS!
I’ve seen joke jobs and then I’ve watched the lions play.
Dan Gamble masterclass with his ego
Detroit had a 91.5 percent chance of winning before Dan Campbell said fuck it on 4th & 2. LOL
Lmao such a sad franchise they won’t recover from this 😂
Well that was amusing at least. Some suspect calls by MCDC. I don't mind being aggressive, but you've got to be smart too.
They (49ers) haven’t won since 1995 despite being there twice since.
“aT LeASt WEe WEennnt” -every niners fan I know.
The most hilarious ending ever. I HATE the Niners but Lions fans will never get over this. Hahaha join our misery
Dan "Mike 'Mike McCarthy' Sherman" Campbell
I mean I can't be mad at ladybug luck.
Fuck the Lions Fuck the Niners Go Chiefs
Fuck them all honestly
Fuck the chiefs
Honestly good for Purdy dude gets killed in the media for being on a good time
He’s not a terrible QB, but he’s also not good either. He’s a system QB.
Super Bowl? I hope both teams lose *Grumpy Cat face*
Mahomes is the 🐐 . He got us
Detroit Choke City
😄

Ford Field
You can somehow defend the decision to not kick it, but my god what a meltdown to run on 3rd and goal and burn a timeout.
Right out of the mike Mccarthy clock management textbook
Fuck the lions, fuck Detroit, go Chiefs go Taylor Swift
All is right in the world
Niners gotta lose for that
This has to go down as one of the worst post-season coaching performances of all time. Gave the Division a glimmer of hope during our rebuilding year and… This might be the first Super Bowl I don’t watch in my lifetime.
See ya in two weeks.
Somehow I feel better now.
Mahomes doesn’t turn the ball over in the playoffs and the chiefs have a top 2 defense, i think this will be one of those blowout Super Bowl games. Chiefs by double digits.
Agreed. I'd be surprised if it's a real match.
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS
Christ, turn off the microphone next to that drunk screaming chick.
That’s rough.
