NFC Championship Playoff Game: Lions @ 49ers Thread

And I could keep going. Gardner johnson is a bum and talked shit, couldn't wrap up, even got himself a unnecessary roughness for being a dumb fuck. Pick the game apart however you want but the team imploded.
 
So it had nothing to do with interception drops or the whiffed sack or piss poor tackling? It was all the 1 guy who has been good all season?

Yah it was that one guy.

Who is that one guy?

Is it Josh Reynolds?

Is he that one guy?

Who is he?
 
They ran the ball 4 of the 8 plays on the first 2nd half drive. Fumbled on the 1st run on the 2nd drive. Ran it on 1st down for nothing and went 3 and out on the 3rd drive. Then they were behind. So no, the running game was not working even though they tried running. SF clearly made adjustments


We are talking about being up 24-10. Other then Browns run those are decent numbers
From Montgomery. 6 yards a carry for Montgomery this drive .
The brown run Was stupid because everyone knew he was running it.
We should have not tried that deep play action to Laporta. .
Keep hammering Montgomery.

Pass to Laporte 16 yards. To the Detroit 41
1st down. Montgomery 6 yards do the 47.
Sf flag first down.
1st down . Montgomery 7 yards to SF 41.
2nd down. Montgomery 5 yards to sf 36.

1st down . Play action miss to Laporta
2nd down. Pass to Laporta 6 yards.
3rd down . The stupid run with Brown 2 yards to SF 28.
4th down . Reynolds drops the pass.

Again you should take a fg here Dan. This is the drive where the game changed. You are talking about plays after Gibbs Fumble.
On this series before the fumble every thing was still working except 3 plays.
Brown run
Reynolds drop.
Stupid bomb ro laoorta on first down from 36. Maybe Brown keeps his 6 yards a carry average ? We will never know because Ben
Just seems to get off kilter in the 3rd quarter.

Had nothing to done the interception drops. If you remember they ?picked up the flag?. If we caught that, we all know what would?ve happened.

I thought the same thing. Vildor catches that and he would have been called for PI or illegal contact.
 
for about 10 mins I did entertain the thought of the Lions going to the SB, closest they have ever been in my life. lost by 3 vs 35 the last time, the last time it was all down hill and SOL for the next 30 years. Just don't repeat that again please.
 
They can and maybe they will, just my feeling on it. Holmes has been awesome in the draft so hopefully that keeps up. I hope I am wrong and they own the division again.

Good drafts and sign some proven players. IMO we are a pass rusher and a corner away from being a very good team

I lost my shit when I saw st brown in the backfield on that 3rd and 4

I think we need one player on each level of the defense, as well as Oline depth.

We need a pursuit monster at LB (I know they don't grow on trees) like the 49ers have. AA is a fair player, but he's not exactly striking fear into the hearts of ball carriers. The encouraging thing is that they made a priority to be good against the run this year, and they've done that. I know we gave up 155 yards last night but the 9ers are a top tier running team. Purdy killed us, in fact if you take his runs out of the stats we gave up 3.8 YPC against the other guys. Not terrible. We have to figure out how to get there on pass rush. We get lots of pressure, but allow lots and lots of escapes.

All in all, this year was fun as hell and I really feel like we trending in a great direction. One really good FA on defense (with other FA signings at depth) and another good draft and we will be able to battle these teams in all phases.
 
CB1, Kicker, Pass Rusher

Freaking tackle, especially the QBs. Ife's first whiff, sigh


Bounce off helmet 51 yarder and fumble, Purdy run. It's just unbelievable how we let them back in like that. Then the 49ers talent just took over in the 4th
 
I wasn't on line yesterday. What is everyone's thought on Goff's performance in the 2nd half? If he plays a little better, they might win. He was only 3-10 for 45 yards before the last drive.
 
So frustrating how many plays we normally make we didn?t in the Second half starting from the missed 4th and 2. I wish they had gone back up by 17. But Dan is going to stand by what he does. Pretty sure I know how Valenti from 97.1 is going to say.

But after that play the missed Reynolds catch.we missed so many chances to make winning plays.

The game is totally different if one of these plays doesn't happen.

Gibbs?s fumble
Running Brown from the backfield .its on tape we all knew he was handling ball to
Him. He was stuffed.
Reynolds 2nd drop on 3rd 10 that is an easy first down.
Vildor fails to get the pick and SF wr makes a miraculous grab.
Fail to down the punt at the 1.
Fail to wrap up Purdy Multiple times.
2nd fourth down miss wasn?t even close.

I?m sure I?m missing some.

He was so so in the second half. The glaring weakness in his game is he can?t pick up first downs with his feet. I may be one of the biggest reason SF is moving on and Detroit is staying home. Idk. But he did hit Reynolds righ in the hands 2 times in the second half.
1st one was just a ok throw but still should been caught. The 3rd and 10 was a perfect pass from Goff.

It?s so frustrating how poor we are in the 3rd quarter and yet after SF field goal we had a chance to match that field goal but instead went for it on 4 and 2 and missed. That miss really changed uncle Mon this game. Lions were gashing them on this series before the last 3 plays. Montgomery Espically this series. But Laporta Miss. than Laporta 6 yard catch . Then Brown stupid run. Then Reynolds drop on 4 and 2. Man it hurts.

It was fine, he didn't drop passes or fumble the ball, sure he over threw a couple of passes but he wasn't a major factor as to why they lost.

I'm coping by not listening to any talk radio or network commentary, no video links from me this week or next. the season is over. maybe next year. now do we have to worry about Ben Johnson taking a bunch of assistant coaches with him? I really don't want to see a high rate of assistant coaches leaving also. I guess same for Glenn but aren't there only two teams left now that haven't hired a new coach yet? hell Washington rumor aside maybe we don't end up losing any at all. ?
