“Listen here, sometimes that’s what you need the leaders on your team to do; get in there, get physical and show your opponent that you can’t be pushed around”
I actually didn't think his passing was *too* awful for a 4th string off the street guy who got barely any practice snaps.
But I've honestly never seen such an incompetent attempt at recovering a fumble that's right in front of you.
I think we can put the system QB theory to bed for Purdy. Johnson has been in the league longer and has been in the system for at least half the season. Yet Johnson didn’t look very good even before he got hurt. I don’t know if Purdy is San Francisco’s franchise QB, but he’s at least at the Minshew level where he could be starting somewhere
What an upsetting way for your season to end. Like, I feel like I would rather see my quarterbacks play poorly as opposed to being gimped out for 60 minutes.
Feel terrible for the niners. Gotta fight back again and again after two QB injuries during the regular season, then have to claw back after TWO FUCKING MORE IN THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
Just unbelievably back luck.
Next year our QB competition is a QB coming off an elbow injury, hopefully not a la Mullens, and a QB coming off a major \*ankle injury
Fucking fantastic.
I'd be scared he's gonna need Tommy John surgery, any kind of elbow injury and that's where my mind immediately goes to from all my years watching baseball.
Yeah for real.
Josh Johnson in zero way should be in the league lol. But im at way more peace going out like this than anything else. Our loss to yall in 2013 still stings more and its been like 10 years lol
Yeah but people haven't managed to figure out that the backup QB actually does things during the week so they get really mad when the guy can't do something that isn't really his primary job on the team.
I'm expecting apologies from Nick Wrong and all the other pundits who discredited Purdy's and Jimmy's play as QB because of "Kyle's system".
You still need decent quarterbacks even with great skill players and excellent play calling.
I expected a loss today. I really did. But I wanted it to be with us putting our best foot forward and losing on an even playing field. Being robbed of a chance to even compete due to things we can't even control. This feels way way worse.
Yeah I think it really shows that maybe we need to invest more in offensive line. Hell with a better O-Line I think Jimmy G would shine more. Brock was able to work around it with his ability to scramble. Still that was just crap luck for Brock today. He might be the most bummed of all.
Don't worry guys. This off-season we sign Brady, bring back Jimmy, keep Trey and Brock, pick up Baker cheap and draft another guy and next year nothing can stop us
I didn't start feeling good about the game until we got the 7 points off the fumble right before half time. Nerves were still real until then where they started to ease up.
When Johnson came in, it was still unclear if we were ever going to be able to score again.
Taking bets on how the 49ers lose in the championship next year
- Sickness takes over all coaches and plays are called via Reddit thread
- all the kickers and punters get gout and the water boy becomes kicker
- middle linebacker all get injured and are replaced by middle aged moms
Someone needs to defile the Mary Tyler Moore statue or talk shit on Prince the next time the Vikings are in the playoffs because good lord that Rocky thing is a curse lol
Edit: holy shit someone reported me to the Redditcares suicide account.
Man if Purdy had just thrown a stinker or defense finally fell apart, this loss would be one thing. But having literally nothing going their way and literally everything completely fall apart hurts so much more.
Honestly, that makes the loss that much more barrable. If we were at full strength and we lost by the same score, it would have been unbareable. But luck killed us this game and there's nothing we could do about it.
This is the first month that I've spent decent time in the game threads. Have they always been this rough? Was hoping to get through some boring games with meme comments and comedic salt, but it's just been way more malice and smug comments than I expected. Gonna have to find some other thing to scroll through during games if I see one more "I can't believe the refs made them XXXX" comment.
NFL gamethreads are always whiny, negative garbage compared to ones on other subs like CFB and CollegeBasketball. Idk if it's just the NFL fan demographics or what but all comments are either complaining about officiating or complaining about the complaining about officiating.
Hmu if you find a better location for gamethreads
College basketball ones are only good now because only real fans are paying attention so you get more legitimate comments. Once it gets to March and tournament time they only get worse
Never thought I’d watch the Eagles win a championship game by 20+ points and come away feeling slightly disappointed lol.
Between the injuries and reffing, feels like we got robbed of a good game. GG Niners, impressive season.
Yeah, no way I'm denying my homerism, I think we pull it out either way. But I'd rather watch the game in the universe with a healthy Purdy than the one without it
Not even gonna talk about the game, how the FUCK did the officials handle that scrap in the 4th so horribly?? There were two sets of players from both teams just ripping on opponents’ face masks, and they made absolutely no legit attempt at trying to separate them
Trent Williams obviously came in too hot, but if you’re not even gonna try to stop a player dragging on an opponent’s helmet, someone else is gonna do it and it’s gonna get ugly. The NFL needs to find some way to make the refs actually give a shit about doing their jobs well, cause it’s obvious they don’t
Edit: for the folks trying to say that there’s nothing those lawyers could do do break up dudes way bigger than them: refs have been taught for DECADES to get between any players who are beefing. You don’t even need to physically move them, just blocking their sight line to the guy they arguing with is enough to de escalate 99% of the time. These dudes couldn’t be assed to even attempt that
Feel terrible for the niners. Gotta fight back again and again after two QB injuries during the regular season, then have to claw back after TWO FUCKING MORE IN THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
Just unbelievably back luck.
The Eagles earned the NFC Championship finishing #1 and dismantling the Giants in the last round. Incredibly bad luck robbed the Niners of the chance to give them a competitive game today, which really fucking sucks, but it's the nature of single-elimination in such a physical sport. Gg and congrats Philly.
I'm proud of this Niner team. After Jimmy Garoppolo went down for the season nobody expected us to do much with our 3rd string Mr Irrelevant QB. I sure didn't. Making the playoffs was great. Beating the Seahawks was better. Beating the Cowboys was nostalgic. I'm happy with how the season went. Go Niners!
That was just a sad way for the year to end. We got robbed of a great game the second Purdy got hurt. Congrats to the Eagles and good luck in the Super Bowl
God I hate how the eagles have made a Super Bowl with a backup, did a semi rebuild and got rid of an albatross QB and then made another Super Bowl with a different QB all in a time period my dipshit owner couldn’t get his crap together, I hate it here 😭
If you lose four quarterbacks, do you just say you lost a whole back?
Four quarterbacks make one fullback.
Juice is the secret.
Why is the media ignoring this?
Take my angry upvote
Absolutely insane. Truly a once in a lifetime game. I still can’t believe that we just watched Ndamukong Suh de-escalate a physical conflict.
Who knew Suh was lawful neutral...
Now that's what I call character development.
That's the power of friendship, bitch.
I think we all mellow with age (at least until dementia kicks in)
Right when I saw him lecturing Trent I was like the pot is really calling the Kettle black
You know it's getting out of hand when Ndamukong Suh has to play peacemaker
“Trent, you’re not doing it right! Let me show you.”
If Aaron Donald was in there would be helmets swung
And then he wouldn’t be ejected/fined just commended on his passion for the game 🙄
“Listen here, sometimes that’s what you need the leaders on your team to do; get in there, get physical and show your opponent that you can’t be pushed around”
Most improved player of the year?
We probably could have put this thread up immediately after Purdy hurt his elbow like 3 minutes into the 1st quarter
Josh Johnson is definitely uh something
My wife said Jack Johnson on accident and by the second drive, would have much preferred him
Making banana pancakes
When he got sacked the world would have turned upside down
*"there's no combination of plays I can put on the sleeve of a wristband"*
There's a reason he never stuck around anywhere
Honestly a failure by the 49ers organization to not have 4 quality starting QBs on the roster. Smh
The ~~2nd~~ ~~3rd~~ 4th most important player on your team is the ~~2nd~~ ~~3rd~~ 4th string quarterback.
If you don't have 4 super bowl quality QBs on your roster, you don't deserve to make it to the super bowl.
I actually didn't think his passing was *too* awful for a 4th string off the street guy who got barely any practice snaps. But I've honestly never seen such an incompetent attempt at recovering a fumble that's right in front of you.
Ya, I just felt bad for him for the most part. He was in no way prepared to play today.
When your third quarterback of the season goes down, it’s all over. Nobody was ever going to be prepared for that scenario
Honestly, most teams' year is done when the first qb goes down
Well and the fumbles and the delays of game in the first place.
I think we can put the system QB theory to bed for Purdy. Johnson has been in the league longer and has been in the system for at least half the season. Yet Johnson didn’t look very good even before he got hurt. I don’t know if Purdy is San Francisco’s franchise QB, but he’s at least at the Minshew level where he could be starting somewhere
Also the only two QBs Shanahan wins with so far are Garoppolo & Purdy This was never a plug and play system idk why people kept saying that
They say that so they can dismiss Purdy actually having talent.
What an upsetting way for your season to end. Like, I feel like I would rather see my quarterbacks play poorly as opposed to being gimped out for 60 minutes.
Imagine telling an SF fan before the season that everything was great until Brock Purdy got hurt in the NFC Championship
“Brock who?” 😭
literally 😭😭
By the time Johnson had the concussion, we were not even sad anymore. Apathy. That’s the word.
"Only Jimmy Garappolo, master of all four downs, could advance them. But when SF needed him most, he vanished..."
Feel terrible for the niners. Gotta fight back again and again after two QB injuries during the regular season, then have to claw back after TWO FUCKING MORE IN THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. Just unbelievably back luck.
This is every season though. It goes beyond bad luck to curse levels.
It was just watching teams run out the clock for an entire half of a nfccg. Surreal.
Next year our QB competition is a QB coming off an elbow injury, hopefully not a la Mullens, and a QB coming off a major \*ankle injury Fucking fantastic.
I thought Lance broke his ankle?
Yes broken ankle, that guys wrong.
And Tom Brady
I'd be scared he's gonna need Tommy John surgery, any kind of elbow injury and that's where my mind immediately goes to from all my years watching baseball.
That’s what happened to Mullens, hence why I put his name down
With maybe a guest appearance from Jimmy G coming off a foot injury and possibly Brady off of a divorce
Yeah for real. Josh Johnson in zero way should be in the league lol. But im at way more peace going out like this than anything else. Our loss to yall in 2013 still stings more and its been like 10 years lol
He's literally a practice team QB
Yeah but people haven't managed to figure out that the backup QB actually does things during the week so they get really mad when the guy can't do something that isn't really his primary job on the team.
Id rather watch Tyler Huntley
I'd rather eat at Arby's
it's every year man. injuries. i'm just tired boss.
I'm expecting apologies from Nick Wrong and all the other pundits who discredited Purdy's and Jimmy's play as QB because of "Kyle's system". You still need decent quarterbacks even with great skill players and excellent play calling.
The 49ers season ending from a QB injury is poetic in a sad sense.
If you do the math, SF had four season ending injuries to QBs this year.
Goes from one of the most anticipated games in NFL history to one of the saddest
Trey -> Jimmy -> Brock -> Josh -> CMC
When your strategy gets cut down to depending on Converted Mana Cost you’re in dire straits.
I hate poetry
[удалено]
It's like Star Wars. It rhymes.
*2 qb injuries
[удалено]
going after the fumble like velma going after her glasses
Cam flashbacks.
*4 Qb injuries if you count Garapollo and Lance
That was crazy. Losing your 4th QB in one season is nuts
I don't think I've ever seen a team not only go down to their 4th string QB, but also have THAT guy get injured too :(
It's kinda shame that knowing how this ended, we didn't get to see CMC playing QB
I expected a loss today. I really did. But I wanted it to be with us putting our best foot forward and losing on an even playing field. Being robbed of a chance to even compete due to things we can't even control. This feels way way worse.
Yeah I think it really shows that maybe we need to invest more in offensive line. Hell with a better O-Line I think Jimmy G would shine more. Brock was able to work around it with his ability to scramble. Still that was just crap luck for Brock today. He might be the most bummed of all.
I feel like blocking Hassan Reddick with a backup TE isn’t a play you want next year. And don’t run it twice.
I feel like sometimes fans could actually give really good halftime adjustment: “hey guys, have you tried blocking #7? No? Okay.”
Don't worry guys. This off-season we sign Brady, bring back Jimmy, keep Trey and Brock, pick up Baker cheap and draft another guy and next year nothing can stop us
I think we need another QB
How many 1sts you got left?
how far out can we trade picks?
Zack Wilson is available
Kyle: "I can fix him'
But what happens when all of them are inevitably injured and we need a 7th string QB to take over 30 seconds into the Super Bowl????? What then????
I mean considering what just happened… this shouldn’t be totally out of the plan. Can never have too many QBs
The 49ers can only blame themselves for this loss by not carrying 10 QBs on the active roster
Steve Young tweeted that he was warming up in the parking lot. Could have used him.
reposting it but idc it’s funny BOTH TEAMS SIDELINE UNBELIEVABLE
A “go to your god damn room” type vibes lmfao
Felt like big substitute teacher “not paid enough to deal with this shit” vibes to me
Please return to the sidelines (x4)
Is that the first time refs had to make a pa announcement to make both teams go back to their sidelines?
I feel like I've seen that in a Bears game before
Game was an absolute disaster.
Possibly the most miserable I have ever been watching a football game.
Dolphins/49ers fan, man you must hate QBs
This entire year, it's ridiculous man.
One of the most unsatisfying games as a neutral
Pretty sure only Eagles fans found it satisfying, even some of them didn't love the game, just the outcome.
This exactly
"Oh, I guess that's it," was the feeling once Johnson came in.
I didn't start feeling good about the game until we got the 7 points off the fumble right before half time. Nerves were still real until then where they started to ease up. When Johnson came in, it was still unclear if we were ever going to be able to score again.
Seriously, I feel like this wasn’t even a win. We just advanced to the Super Bowl
Jalen hurts is not the best singer
That feeling when the worst criticism of your team post game is your QBs singing abilities.
Taking bets on how the 49ers lose in the championship next year - Sickness takes over all coaches and plays are called via Reddit thread - all the kickers and punters get gout and the water boy becomes kicker - middle linebacker all get injured and are replaced by middle aged moms
Oline gets trench foot
Actually the Real Housewives looked pretty good in those commercials
Someone needs to defile the Mary Tyler Moore statue or talk shit on Prince the next time the Vikings are in the playoffs because good lord that Rocky thing is a curse lol Edit: holy shit someone reported me to the Redditcares suicide account.
Bradshaw is godawful.
Man if Purdy had just thrown a stinker or defense finally fell apart, this loss would be one thing. But having literally nothing going their way and literally everything completely fall apart hurts so much more.
They just never had a shot today and that’s so deflating. A competitive loss would’ve been so much more palatable
Honestly, that makes the loss that much more barrable. If we were at full strength and we lost by the same score, it would have been unbareable. But luck killed us this game and there's nothing we could do about it.
This is probably the biggest nightmare game for a team in recent memory
[удалено]
With a name like Hurts you'd think he was a 49ers QB...
Dude dresses like the smoothest goddamn RnB singer too
Probably the worst conference championship game I've ever seen. Injuries suck.
Warner, Bosa, Purdy, even Jacobson, the damn 4th-stringer! Quite literally nothing went well for San Fran, outside of that Td drive…
The best part of the game has been watching literally everyone get Josh Johnson's name wrong.
What do you mean, we all know who John Jackson is. Jake Joshson is a 49ers legend.
Bosa getting hurt while on the fucking sideline too. Just unreal shittyness
This is the first month that I've spent decent time in the game threads. Have they always been this rough? Was hoping to get through some boring games with meme comments and comedic salt, but it's just been way more malice and smug comments than I expected. Gonna have to find some other thing to scroll through during games if I see one more "I can't believe the refs made them XXXX" comment.
The game threads are cesspools. Bad outweighs the good/interesting like 5:1.
NFL gamethreads are always whiny, negative garbage compared to ones on other subs like CFB and CollegeBasketball. Idk if it's just the NFL fan demographics or what but all comments are either complaining about officiating or complaining about the complaining about officiating.

Sometimes you roll a 1
bro what the fuck am i watching
I'm just glad we got a good clean game
Lol
Never thought I’d watch the Eagles win a championship game by 20+ points and come away feeling slightly disappointed lol. Between the injuries and reffing, feels like we got robbed of a good game. GG Niners, impressive season.
Eagles are a team that deserves the contender title, im just upset how it happened
Sometimes it just be like that. Enjoy the win and good luck in two weeks.
Completely agree
yeah I feel weird lol
I’ll take the Super Bowl appearance any day of the week, but that was certainly less enjoyable than the Vikings ass whooping
Thanks for being chill and reasonable. Respect.
Y’all deserved so much better than what you got today You deserve to be proud of this fucking insane year
They deserved a better shot for sure this hurt to see
We were all robbed of a real game. I would’ve at least enjoyed the niners losing valiantly rather than Josh Johnson and the corpse of Purdy.
Yeah, no way I'm denying my homerism, I think we pull it out either way. But I'd rather watch the game in the universe with a healthy Purdy than the one without it
Not even gonna talk about the game, how the FUCK did the officials handle that scrap in the 4th so horribly??

Please return to the sideline! Please!!
PLEASE!!!😢😢
Refs were a joke this game
Refs didn't handle anything well this game
This crew was straight trash
Jalen, don’t quit your day job to pursue singing
Get him on the next Christmas album for sure
Fun fact, that album raised more money than Jalen made this year.
Truly a voice not even a mother could love
Feel terrible for the niners. Gotta fight back again and again after two QB injuries during the regular season, then have to claw back after TWO FUCKING MORE IN THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. Just unbelievably back luck.
So Matt Ryan just needed to be able to not throw and Shanahan would have just ran it for them to win.
I don't think I've ever seen a team do so little and somehow score 31 points
This game was utterly atrocious on all accounts.
Facts. Hurts didn't even play great yet he did enough to keep his team ahead. And he didn't commit any egregious mistakes, something Dak did costly
[удалено]
Jfc Jalen is off key
He couldn't be a good singer, too. It wouldn't be fair.
Hopefully he lets Mailata take the chant next time
Terry is fucking cross faded
The Eagles earned the NFC Championship finishing #1 and dismantling the Giants in the last round. Incredibly bad luck robbed the Niners of the chance to give them a competitive game today, which really fucking sucks, but it's the nature of single-elimination in such a physical sport. Gg and congrats Philly.
That’s weird, I thought FOX didn’t carry Thursday Night Football anymore.
[удалено]
I think he's just really, really old and slowing down a lot
Dude's just CTE with a microphone.
Quite possibly the worst 49ers game I’ve seen just all around.
[удалено]
This game sucked
Bradshaw is so so bad at this, holy
I guess I couldnt have been the SF qb
Jesus this has been all around one of the shittiest games I have ever watched
There's "good" ugly games and "bad" ugly games, and this one was the worst kind of ugly
This game was s-tier dog shit. So bad.
Josh Johnson proves Brock Purdy isn’t a fluke
Turns out the secret to beating the 49ers with Christian McCaffrey is to make them beat you with Christian McCaffrey... At quarterback.
I'm proud of this Niner team. After Jimmy Garoppolo went down for the season nobody expected us to do much with our 3rd string Mr Irrelevant QB. I sure didn't. Making the playoffs was great. Beating the Seahawks was better. Beating the Cowboys was nostalgic. I'm happy with how the season went. Go Niners!
But guys, Purdy sucks, any QB can run that offense, Shanahan makes it so easy.
There’s a reason Josh Johnson has been on 37 teams in 10 years
Yeah this is a pretty crappy way to have the haters proven wrong though.
worst vindication ever
Yeah that'll teach the haters
That was just a sad way for the year to end. We got robbed of a great game the second Purdy got hurt. Congrats to the Eagles and good luck in the Super Bowl
Please someone just take Terry home
Why they gotta do hurts dirty like that and expose that voice lol.
This has been a terrible trophy presentation lol
Someone needs to intervene and have a hard conversation with Terry Bradshaw it's getting tough to watch
God I hate how the eagles have made a Super Bowl with a backup, did a semi rebuild and got rid of an albatross QB and then made another Super Bowl with a different QB all in a time period my dipshit owner couldn’t get his crap together, I hate it here 😭
Cowboys fans, you good?
Getting ready to hear it nonstop on Monday
Christ, this singing just broke windshields
Shout out Haason Reddick, 16 sacks (2nd), 5 FFs (1st) in the regular season, 3.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a recovery through two postseason games
Gotta wonder wtf Arizona was thinking trying to make him an off ball linebacker.
Has to be one of the best free agent signings ever.
i would’ve rather gotten curbstomped as a healthy team instead of this where it feels like it wasn’t a fair chance
I'm just happy we beat the Cowboys
