***NFC Championship - Detroit Lions 14-5 at San Francisco 49'ers 13-5*** (-7.5, 52) 6:30 (3 Viewers)

[Snotbubbles]

SF is down 24-10, it feels like 44-10.

 

[AAABatteries]

Damn - a real lion on the field would be badass!

 

[Todem]

Cue the Is Purdy The Guy articles next to Can Lamar Win The Big One.

When you get to conference title games....yeah they are good.

Todays society is insane with hot takes, social media click bait and instant gratification.

I will trade you Tua for:

Purdy
Lamar
Goff
Allen
Love (who showed more in his first post season than Tua by far)

Now.......guess the guys I mentioned above suck since none of them will be in the Super Bowl (Purdy TBD but not looking good).

Only two go to the dance every year It's not easy. But please....Take Tua....I am begging any of those teams.

They would laugh at me.

 

[Desert_Power]

Still can’t believe that trade for Mccaffrey. Carolina was so goofy giving him up for so little

Lots of people thought he was an injury prone guy who had already peaked and had a big salary. They thought they were lucky to get as much as they did.

CMC is arguably the best RB of the last 15-20 years though.

Probably the best RB since Barry

LT2 would beg to differ man.....Lets see the body of work before we crown guys like that.

I get it, just love the style.

Just because I was curious, I looked up some stats during halftime. Going into tonight, CMC has 11.049 scrimmage yards and 89 total TDs in 96 games. LT2 had 19,100 and 176 total TDs in 180 games. CMC needs to pump those passing TD numbers up a bit (7 vs 2)

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Sweet candy watching Goff roll to his left and find La Porta wide open on 1st down

 

[Todem]

Man this 49ers defense has collapsed.

 

[travdogg]

I don't think the defense is gonna turn it around without turnovers. They seem like they don't wanna get hit by Detroit's OL.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Damn - a real lion on the field would be badass!

Uga would take that lion down in no time flat

 

[BobbyLayne]

Hargrave

 

[AAABatteries]

lol at talking about losing more than half NFCCGs when you’ve been there 19 times. Try being a Falcons fan you putz.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Monty so effective on gap & duo today

 

[karl.Racki]

IMO Gutless to kneel on last play of the half.. down 24-7, you gotta run a play and see if there is a pass interference call or something.

That's how you go down 31-7

never understood that argument.. Why not kneel the whole second half then?

Because there is 30 minutes of football and the Niners can take their sweet time matriculating the football down the field as long as their Defense holds
Check!

Down 24-7, and with a D that gets a stop every 3 drives, you really can't take as much time as you think..

Also, I would try a slant to Samuel and see if he can take it to the house. Why not, its 24-7.

Oh I love CMac too.....LT2 was an absolute machine.

 

[BobbyLayne]

dang had a step on Greenlaw

 

[Snotbubbles]

Where is that thread could you get 10 yards rushing in the NFL. With those holes, a guy in a wheelchair could get 10 yards.

 

[AAABatteries]

Really love the play calling by Lions OC

 

[ProstheticRGK]

This 49er Run Defense is worse than we feared/hoped. And kudos to the Lions’ Oline, too. Making big holes.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Watching Monty run up 24-10 for the Lions

[travdogg]

Great route by LaPorta. Just out of reach. He looks great for a guy who looked iffy to even be playing a few weeks back.

 

[BobbyLayne]

they’ll go here

 

[modogg]

the Detroit OL is creating such huge holes it is easy-peezy for any RB to get t least 4-5 yrds

 

[AAABatteries]

Interesting call here - I’d kick it.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

How can the niners run defense somehow reverse the tide here?

 

[Desert_Power]

So much rotation of personnel on this offense too.

 

[Todem]

Run it

 

[jon_mx]

Reynolds needs to catch that.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Josh has to catch that

hit em right in the hands

 

[Bracie Smathers]

No. Take the points.

 

[The Frankman]

That would have been a 45 yard FG and made it a 3 score game...

Unless you don't have confidence in Badgely, take the points.

 

[unckeyherb]

Bah

 

[AAABatteries]

I don’t hate the call but that gives all the momentum to SF. You kick it and you are up 17 and over half the 3rd is gone.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

How can the niners run defense somehow reverse the tide here?

Well I guess that’s a good start…

 

[Todem]

Ohhhhh man your dominance on the ground all day......run it down their throats.

But Reynolds has to catch that.

 

[JoeJoe88]

Welp Reynolds with the drop, Niners gotta capitalize here

 

[Insein]

Ok. First risk that didn't pay off.

 

[irish eyes]

Just makes no sense, kick to go up 3 scores again. Who is he trying to impress.

 

[Moonlight]

Lions too cute don’t run St Brown up the middle

 

[Gachi]

Correct decision. Ball could have been thrown better but you gotta catch that.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

So the Lions could have tried to extend it out - 3 score game middle to late 3rd and they turn it over on downs
Niners with a chance to make this a great game in the 4th if they can drive the field

 

[jrt103]

TAKE THE POINTS DAN

 

[karl.Racki]

Kick the FG

 

[fred_1_15301]

Just makes no sense, kick to go up 3 scores again. Who is he trying to impress.

Agreed. Purdy has been rattled. Don’t give them a shot.

 

[dickey moe]

lol at talking about losing more than half NFCCGs when you’ve been there 19 times. Try being a Falcons fan you putz.

It's kind of crazy though with all of the post-season success that they've had that they haven't won a Super Bowl in almost 30 years.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Could be a momentum shift after that

 

[BobbyLayne]

45 yard FG gives you a 3 score lead

but they got the look they wanted Goff bought time & made a good throw

OK D one more time here

 

[RenegadeRoy]

Campbell is never kicking that.

 

[karl.Racki]

27-10, 3 POSSESSION GAME

 

[BobbyLayne]

great play by Deebo there

 

[fruity pebbles]

Don’t mind going for it but 3 passes out of the 4 plays on that set of downs…….no

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Hindsight is 20/20. I don’t hate the decision
