They couldn't run the ball in the first either. We simply shit the bed throughout the second half.

Exactly and implied in the response

 

[bwdenverram]

*3rd and 1 and we don't run it was the first bad call.
*Running three straight times when your RB's (not inluding Kupps sweep) are averaging 1.8 yards per carrry (that's insane by itself) and not trying to get 1 freaking 1st down that ends the game was the second bad call.
*Playing soft ass defense with like just over 90 seconds and 88 yards to go makes no sense.
*Letting a 4 man rush constantly make our OL look like a JV team is embarrasing
*Constanly watching your RB get tackled 3 yards behind the line is just sad.
*Continuing to underthrow deep balls and not even give your WR a chance has become an alarming trend.
The way this team came out the first half was amazing and we all felt it was finally our night.
First half they had like 89(ish yards) ?
Second half like 330-340. What the hell happned at half we couldn't stop anything.
We have too many many players that need to learn how to tackle and tackle hard.
If physically pains me to see a team I hate manhandle us the way they did.
And WTF was this game played in San Franciso?? we have a 12-4 team, where's the local support.

I love this team. We all do. First half team = SB. Second half team won't go far. I hope we see the 1st half team the rest of the way.
Rant over, onto the playoffs.

 

[Poppinfresh]

the reason mcvay didnt go for the 1st down is because.

1. the oline had been getting blow up all day.
2. the defense should win the game in that situation 95% of the time.

Nope.

The offense had FINALLY started moving the ball when McVay started calling plays that got rid of the ball quick and punished the Niners for being aggressive. It was working. All he had to do was call another play just like the last 5 that got them into the endzone on the previous drive and he had a real shot. Instead he decided to play "look how smart I am" and it cost the game.

 

[Giles]

Jimmy has a dominant running game and typically wide open receivers. The throws Jimmy makes and the throws Stafford has to make are completely different animals.

The offense did it’s job in regulation. McVay called 3 running plays and to punt because he trusted the D wouldn’t let Jimmy G go 90 yards with little time and no time outs.

You want find anyone that believes Jimmy has a better supporting cast than Stafford rn. Who cares what happened in regulation the game didn't end there it ended in ot...after Stafford made a horrible throw and that's what matters.

 

[Kupped]

End of the day, 88 yards, no time outs, 1:20 on the clock, leading by 7
No excuse for letting them score
Period

End of the day, you're one first down from ending the game.
No excuse for not getting one or at least actually trying for it.
Period.

(and we're not even touching on the offense just farting in OT. Not even an FG)

 

[Spider2YB]

Michel and Akers were both getting met in the backfield on nearly every carry. O line hasn’t gotten worked like that in the run game in a while.

 

[Tano]

End of the day, 88 yards, no time outs, 1:20 on the clock, leading by 7
No excuse for letting them score
Period

And that's why I mostly blame Morris for this game. You just don't let a gimpy ass QB have a wide open Samuel who goes 55 yards.

You just can't let that happen.

Stick Ramsey on him.

Our pass rush was doing okay but we were just getting there a tad late with WIDE OPEN WRs

The offense put the defense in position to win the game and they blew it. You seem to be ignoring that part so you can take some digs at Stafford.

 

[tempests]

Can I vent about all the bullshit fair-weather fandom going on right now?

Was anyone doing the Chicken Little a fan from 2006-2016? That 11 year span gave me PTSD, ffs.

Now people are bitching and moaning about going 12-5 in the toughest division in the NFL.

I don't know, expectations.

We were so close to having it set up for us. Up 17-0. Hold onto the W and get the no 2 seed. And then it all went away.

This team reminds me of the 2003 one, actually. Enough of an offense to win our share of games, 11 out of 12 at one point, IIRC. But they turned the ball over a lot and couldn't run the ball. A opportunistic defense that got turnovers but probably had the worst LB corps of any playoff team and could have the ball run down their throat. Fatal flaws that we could disguise for a while.

SB windows only last so long. And with the collapse today the Rams are taking a harder road through the playoffs. It's not a good feeling.

 

[dieterbrock]

Bullshit. They drop back, throw the ball, it's incomplete. They punt anyways, and all that's happened is the Niners get the ball with 1 timeout instead of 0.

oooOooOooOOOOOooo, it saves Jimmy GQ from having to spike the ball one time. So huge. Insurmountable.

Big fucking deal.

If I'm given the option between "game over or game almost over with opposing team having 1 timeout" and "not game over and the other side has no timeouts", I'm going to choose the former every time. It'd be one thing to play that "burn the timeout" game in the 1st half when they weren't moving the ball, but to do it after they had just been smacking you in the face for 28:30? Fuck that. It was a dumb call. It was a dumb call when he made it. It was a dumb call after it happened. It was a dumb call when the game was over. It will always be a dumb call.

Yeah right
Any play that stopped the clock without making a 1st down is the wrong call
It was a disgrace they scored, and with total ease. Christ they even gave San Fran a time out by being offsides on damn spike play

 

[Ellard80]

A sack keeps the clock running.

A first down should win you the game 95% of the time.

you are cracking me up bro....

 

[SteezyEndo]

Gassed? Why wasnt San Fran D gassed when the Rams had the ball all 1st half?
Sorry, but a championship team shuts the door

For all we know rat face was playing possum which made our team look good. It was all an illusion as you can see. Shanny busted a Houdini on us and made a 2nd half comeback.

 

[Fidelis]

Only gonna vent briefly. Didn’t like how passive we got torward the end of the 1st half allowing them 3 points knowing they were going to get the ball to start the 2nd. I don’t like how we abandoned the run. No excuses for today for this team. It’s a new season now and we are NFC West Champs who need to prove it. I like our chances with the cards and we will let the other teams sort this shit out. If we happen to play the fuckers again, I think we win and it will catapult us to SB!!! I’m optimistic and back this team through awful darkness and greatness like 99!!! It’s what makes it much sweeter win we win. No more score predictions for me. Every time I predict a score it seems to backfire on me. Peace out

The defense put the offense in a position to end the game with one first down by shutting SF down on the previous possession.

 

[Kupped]

Not going to over react but time time after time after time

You play not to lose and what happens?

we needed to run it 3rd and half yd closing out the 1st half

we needed to pass it 3rd and 7 with a TD lead 1:40 left closing the fourth

Played it safe both times annnnnd...hello Vent thread

CHICKEN DINNER!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly. Especially when you trade 2 years of your top draft picks for the guy. That shit isn’t happening in Green Bay or Tampa. Really disappointed in McVay today. Horrible game.

Ramsey was on him. But the defense was out of sorts before the play, leading to Ramsey and Rapp not being clear on who was taking whom. And yes, that's a coaching mistake. Call a timeout. Or simplify the defense. And stop running that soft ass bullshit.

 

[Poppinfresh]

Yeah right

You're wrong. Statistically and objectively wrong. Winning coaches do something to try and make sure the other team doesn't get the ball.

Hell, have Stafford drop back and if there's nothing there, tell him to take a knee. They still burn the timeout, but at least at that point you fucking tried.

He gave up. Because McVay always gives up and plays passive.

Just like at the end of regulation where he's on the 30, has a timeout and there are 20 seconds left. Stafford takes a sack. OK, that's not a great outcome, but you've still got a shot. Call the timeout and take it.

What does he do? Eh, we'll hope we win the coin toss and take our chances, just let the clock expire.

Yeah, that fucking worked.

McVay is not a championship coach. Period. And this game demonstrated it in every possible way.

 

[Curiousenigma]

Michel and Akers were both getting met in the backfield on nearly every carry. O line hasn’t gotten worked like that in the run game in a while.

Why can we not run screens like other teams seem to do with ease. It looks like we try to re-invent the wheel every time we try to run one. Why not have some quick passing plays to negate the strong rush? Why not teach fundamentals like tacking to our D?

When the niners got a hand on one of us it was over. We have all our D trying to make chest level tackles so we can get a fumble which never happens. It's the basics we are bad at...and that is on the coaches.

 

[Spider2YB]

Yeah and McVay sat on the ball.
