I’m gonna be awkward here and say 49ers would have gotten a TD early when Jimmy threw a dime over the middle to Kittle who had nothing but icy green in front of him - but Kittle dropped it. Their receivers also had a few other drops early.Jimmy G saying “feck the Packers” live after he got bailed out by his ST, D and Deebo is pure gold These Niners man… if only McVay had killed them off in Week 18. I’d like them to win it for Kittle alone though, and they have a lot of likeable players.
We all know he’s bang average. And we all know he will make at least one stupid mistake. But all I’m saying is when it counted the most he did what he needed to. There is something to be said for a QB who can do that. Especially when Rodgers for all his brilliance can’t seem to drag his team through tough tight play off games like this. It’s a consistent trend for many many years now. So that quality, in a way, shouldn’t be underestimated.
Definitely. You know, if the offence played well and the 49ers had a super game on offence, and you lose by 3 - then yes you can pin it on ST because your O did what they had to do. But the 49ers didn’t. And so whilst yes the ST fudged it, it’s not like the O didn’t have opportunities to score. 3 points on 9 drives. At home.Yesterday you might say that the ST lost them the game, but Rodgers and the offense had plenty of opportunities to win it and didn't do it.
So with both firsties gone, teams in both games today are not only playing to get in the Championship game, but also to host it.
Bills Chiefs definitely should be favourites vs Bengals.The remaining Divisional Round games look like the de facto AFC and NFC Championship games. Rams or Bucs would be major favorites to beat the 49'ers at home, when Jimmy G is their QB. And Bills/Chiefs would also be solid favorites against the Bengals, given that their O-line is made of wet cardboard.
Bills Chiefs definitely should be favourites vs Bengals.
The NFC is a bit more curious. The 49ers have the number of the Rams. You’d expect the Bucs to win because they match up nicely.
But after yesterdays games I refuse to believe anything is a given.
Now there’s no obstacles to Denver getting a coach into the building, though if the news of the surprising dark horse are true Hackett may not actually be 2nd favorite.
Yeah, apparently he’s been blowing people away in interviews. He’s the favorite to get the Texans job and in the running for the Vikes as well so I’m guessing he’s getting a job somewhere this cycle.Gannon? I hope not but he’s rumoured as being in the running along with Hackett and Quinn.
Whoever it’s gonna be I expect we’ll find out pretty soon.
Manning is the best now - Rodgers with his covid schtick and now another flat playoff performance was the least straw.
We pray for the rams.

I wonder when the dominos will start to fall; I’m guessing when Harbaugh and Quinn make their decisions.
He’s basically this year’s Brandon Staley. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing I couldn’t tell you.I might be being unfair but I get VJ vibes from him; a DC coming off a pretty crappy year for his unit with lots of cliche sound bites about “leadership” and being impressive in interviews. Hard pass please.
I guess things will start happening this coming week.

At least he’s not in the thick of it simply because he was in the same room as McVay once.
To be fair there's been a number of excellent head coaches who fit this!He’s basically this year’s Brandon Staley. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing I couldn’t tell you.

That could be mistaken for a ringing endorsement.It’s funny because Eagles fans can’t wait for him to be hired by someone else
I know right. The fact this is a debate is weird to me.Not a Brady fan?
Few fun facts seen on Twitter:
1. Brady is older than the head coaches of the other three NFC divisional round teams.
2. 49’ers had the lead for literally 0 seconds in their win yesterday.

Keep telling yourself that scrubIt’s not. Fraudgers proved yesterday that no matter how elite you are in the regular season, it means nothing if you can’t do it in the post season.
Brady has put together a ridiculous resume of game winning drives and comeback wins in the playoffs en route to his seven titles. On top of that he has great regular season stats as well.
Anyone not willing to admit he is the greatest QB ever are simply fooling themselves out of hatred for the guy. Thankfully for them he won’t stick around much longer.
