Funny how SF fans get the blame for saying the outcome of a game may have been different if they had a QB that could actually throw a pass. As if other fan bases wouldn’t feel the same? That’s confused me.
Niner fans have nothing to brag about after last week and it’s hard to root against the Lions
Kind of refreshing to see some respect shown by players and coaches. The “trash talk” gets tiresome. Play the game and talk all you want after.

I had no dog in that fight, and I don't want to litigate that game again, but it's not like the 49ers QBs all tripped over themselves and got hurt. The Eagles knocked Purdy out of the game. Rather than saying that they got lucky because the 49ers had no QB, it's more accurate to say that the Eagles physicality on defense is why they won.
I’m not sure where in my post I mentioned anything like this? I clearly stated that I don’t take anything away from the Eagles and what they accomplished. If your team made the conference championship game and had all of their QBs get injured you’d feel pretty damned sour about that outcome to the season I’d imagine?
fixed, Goff was raised in Novato (bel marin keys) and went to MC which is a private catholic high school ala Mater Dei and De La Sal. I've lived in Novato since 99 and the local restaraunts with tv's should be rocking sunday for the game with people pulling for the niners and supporting Goff.
Very evident by the body language and every time Mike Evans caught a deep ball for a big play, Campbell would just mutter "Yep!" as if to indicate he knew what he was doing and was fine with Evans burning them once in a while since it was making the Bucs one dimensional much of the game.
The injury to Purdy was more a fluke hit than the Eagles showing any kind of "physicality". Kroft whiffed on the block and Reddick hit Purdy's arm. Wasn't a big hit, but just happened to cause a major injury on the 49ers first drive. Purdy was 4-4 starting out the game. After Johnson came in, the Eagles could pretty much stack the box because they knew he couldn't throw downfield with any consistency. Having a guy who isn't even backup quality in the game and then no QB at all made the Eagles D look a lot better than they actually were that game. Maybe Philly still wins that game, but certainly not a given. Once Purdy went out, even the most diehard 49er fan like myself knew the game was over with Josh Johnson at QB. When Johnson got hurt, it was humorous in a dark kind of way watching them play without a QB who could actually throw the ball.
Yes, I was told at the time that Y2K would get rid of all that old crap.
Partly Sunny and 60s/70s
I'm seeing 70/30 in favor of Detroit in terms of both public % and money %. Assuming google is reliable for this.
As much as I quote lines, I'm not really sure about any of these perceived percentages and how accurate they are. Why would they even want that to be public knowledge if it meant anything?
Lions are 6-3 on the road, 3-2 on grass with wins over KC, GB and TB. I'm not worried about that. You may end up being right because of the secondary though.
I agree, but the Lions fans I know IRL are somewhat more obnoxious. I'm giving them a pass because this is the first time in some of their lives they've been able to crow about their team, but if they were Dallas or Philly fans I'd be a lot less patient. The Cardinals fans I knew were like that when they went to the Super Bowl, and I didn't engage them, either. They deserve some leeway to be a little annoying imo. But I haven't seen anything remotely like that on this board.
Deebo practiced today, so probably not a safe assumption.
Glad I got it at 7
It’s still a better option than CMC doing it (still far from optimal). Didn’t hear about Deebo practicing, thanks.Deebo practiced today, so probably not a safe assumption.
Also Purdy & that receiving corps against the Lions ~21st ranked pass defense may not be that great of a strategy.
Bobby, I recall you posting something in the Lions thread a couple years ago before a Detroit-SF matchup where someone took the video of Eminem's final battle in Eight Mile and subtitled it with parody lyrics (no sound) making fun of the Niners. The one line I remember was "You guys got Bosa ... Bosa Deez Nuts!"Still no trash talk?
I'm on record as expecting SF to win but thinking Detroit has a chance to pull off the upset. The one thing that will make me feel a lot more confident is if the Lions can keep it close. Most of Shanahan's biggest wins (NFCCG with Falcons, first NFCCG with Niners) have come in blowouts, while most of his losses have come in close games (or, in one infamous case, a blowout that he managed to turn into a close loss). Meanwhile, the Lions over the past couple years have excelled at pulling out close games against quality opponents where they do just enough to win. I don't think either trend is a coincidence.
Found it! (Reminder that there is no sound, so don't try to turn the volume up. Just read the words at the bottom of the screen)Bobby, I recall you posting something in the Lions thread a couple years ago before a Detroit-SF matchup where someone took the video of Eminem's final battle in Eight Mile and subtitled it with parody lyrics (no sound) making fun of the Niners.

Ring a bell? I tried Googling it but couldn't find anything.
