Getting stopped on 4th down and yards to go up by 14, instead of taking the FG, was just what the 49ers needed to get back in the game and their hope back when all seemed lost for them. Those two FG he decided against came back to bite them in a 3-point loss. And against Dallas he stuck to it on a 2-point try even when they had a long ways to go, after two penalty plays, and they only needed the extra point to go to overtime. There's aggressiveness and their stubbornness. At some point players will become aggravated they worked so hard only to come away empty handed.

Lions are laden with talent, but they lost a golden opportunity to be in the Super Bowl.

The interception was stupid, but I wonder how many Bengal fans would be calling PI if it happened to us.

He's a great QB.  He wouldn't be starting in the NFL if he wasn't.  But, there's levels to it.  With a 2-4 career playoff record, 12 turnovers in 6 playoff games, and a career playoff passer rating of around 75, it just doesn't seem like he has that extra gear that the all time greats have.

The only franchise in the league besides the Browns who were more than a shitshow than us and they have Goff throwing ducks.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing and I know he didn’t have a first round grade but god I wanted Laporta back in April.

Got to hand it to Campbell we say Taylor is a leader of men but I think Lions players would genuinely die for him.

(01-29-2024, 09:20 AM)Nepa Wrote: The first one in the 2nd half would have been a 45-yard field goal and should be nearly automatic in good conditions. At that point, Detroit was dominating and up by 14. They would have then been back to a 17-point lead with about 6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. I'm sure 49er fans and the team were delighted to have Campbell go for it, because it seemed their only hope at the time to keep the game down to two scores. They were emotionally dead at that point. The fans and team were invigorated after that 4th down failure.

The second was 4th and 3 at the 30, so a 47-yard field goal.

Not to mention players being absolutely undisciplined.

Baltimore -Har-bawl, segment of the fan base is ridiculous, Red Dot, a murderer is the franchise's most celebrated figure, bush league tactics(Roquan Smith, repeatedly targeting Mahomes head), Lamar Jackson apologists, Lamar hype can get a bit ridiculous (especially considering he's a game manager that can run), ownership is so far up Goodell's ass it's not even funny(Flip Gate).
