Go Zimmer

Rooting for Zimmer again today.

Screen pass guy jumped to fake like he caught it. Something the bungles would never do.

14-10 at halftime; Minnesota is keeping this closer than I thought possible. If the Vikings’ defense can keep San Francisco out of the end zone until their offense finds a way to score this might get interesting. Win or lose, Mike Zimmer deserves great credit for getting his team into the playoffs. He was a great defensive coordinator for us and he turned out to be an outstanding head coach as well. I’ve been a fan of his ever since going to training camp and watching him rip the Bengals’ defense a new one until they got things right.

Oh yes. The 49ers’ offensive line is sick. They are blowing Minnesota off the line hard.

[Nicomo Cosca]

Boring game.

Man the bye week really makes a difference. Weird watching a Zimmer defense getting run on so much.

Jim G surrounded by a great team. Put him on Bengals and 2-14, any dispute?

[*bengalfan74*]

That pretty much did it.

Not really surprised with this one. The 49ers could go to the big show.

I was rooting for the Vikings but knew they had little chance.

No dispute from me. I think Kirk Cousins would have gone 0-16 with the 2019 Bengals.

Have to agree. Couple of average QBs on these teams.

Can you imagine needing to win just two (both at home) playoff games to make the Superbowl? What an easy path for SF, they earned it.

Oh if only Andy was healthy that one year.

2015? Oh my, yes. That was a great season and let’s give credit to AJ McCarron who might be the most underrated Bengals’ backup maybe ever. Like you, I believe the Bengals would have beat the Steelers if Andy Dalton had started. That takes nothing away from McCarron who had the Bengals in the lead late in the fourth quarter. His touchdown pass to AJ Green in that game was beautiful.

Yeah, the 49ers have a pretty solid team.  It will be interesting to see who they end up playing in the NFC Championship.  I think the Seahawks would give them a better game.  They came close to beating them during the regular season.

Umm...no.

Cousins is a better QB than Dalton.

You like that?!

Man if I was any team after beating the Vikings I don't think I would be able to stop shouting that.
