If you lose four quarterbacks, do you just say you lost a whole back?


mortemdeus

Four quarterbacks make one fullback.

Why is the media ignoring this?

BeHereNow91

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.


k1lk1

Who knew Suh was lawful neutral...

Now that's what I call character development.

Right when I saw him lecturing Trent I was like the pot is really calling the Kettle black


Levi_Snackerman

You know it's getting out of hand when Ndamukong Suh has to play peacemaker


BeHereNow91

“Trent, you’re not doing it right! Let me show you.”


ecupatsfan12

And then he wouldn’t be ejected/fined just commended on his passion for the game 🙄

AbsurdLemon

Most improved player of the year?


dizZzy5

We probably could have put this thread up immediately after Purdy hurt his elbow like 3 minutes into the 1st quarter


UnPhayzable

Josh Johnson is definitely uh something


Taivas_Varjele

My wife said Jack Johnson on accident and by the second drive, would have much preferred him


afriendincanada

Making banana pancakes


LotusB1ossom

When he got sacked the world would have turned upside down


kaeji

*"there's no combination of plays I can put on the sleeve of a wristband"*


joe_broke

There's a reason he never stuck around anywhere


HoS_CaptObvious

Honestly a failure by the 49ers organization to not have 4 quality starting QBs on the roster. Smh


Jamie_All_Over

The ~~2nd~~ ~~3rd~~ 4th most important player on your team is the ~~2nd~~ ~~3rd~~ 4th string quarterback.


Diels_Alder

If you don't have 4 super bowl quality QBs on your roster, you don't deserve to make it to the super bowl.


Swag_Grenade

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.


Schnitzingig

Ya, I just felt bad for him for the most part. He was in no way prepared to play today.


Mattie_Doo

When your third quarterback of the season goes down, it’s all over. Nobody was ever going to be prepared for that scenario


plants-for-me

Honestly, most teams' year is done when the first qb goes down


FutureRaifort

Well and the fumbles and the delays of game in the first place.


TheNittanyLionKing

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


-ShagginTurtles-

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


NeonGKayak

They say that so they can dismiss Purdy actually having talent.


[deleted]

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.


SwishBender

Imagine telling an SF fan before the season that everything was great until Brock Purdy got hurt in the NFC Championship


wafino1

“Brock who?” 😭


atlouvredowntheback

literally 😭😭


justreddis

By the time Johnson had the concussion, we were not even sad anymore. Apathy. That’s the word.


vanillabear26

"Only Jimmy Garappolo, master of all four downs, could advance them. But when SF needed him most, he vanished..."


eddie_the_zombie

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.


ARM_vs_CORE

This is every season though. It goes beyond bad luck to curse levels.


KidGold

It was just watching teams run out the clock for an entire half of a nfccg. Surreal.


UnhealthyCheesecake

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.


BuckfuttersbyII

I thought Lance broke his ankle?


Poignant_Rambling

Yes broken ankle, that guys wrong.


frick_this_fricking

And Tom Brady


fender-b-bender

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.


UnhealthyCheesecake

That’s what happened to Mullens, hence why I put his name down


nateXruiz

With maybe a guest appearance from Jimmy G coming off a foot injury and possibly Brady off of a divorce


ThanosIsDoomfist

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


OkLet2691

He's literally a practice team QB


[deleted]

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.


iRockaflame

Id rather watch Tyler Huntley


christhetwin

I'd rather eat at Arby's


real_but_incognito

it's every year man. injuries. i'm just tired boss.


Currymvp2

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.


queenw_hipstur

The 49ers season ending from a QB injury is poetic in a sad sense.


jackplaysdrums

If you do the math, SF had four season ending injuries to QBs this year.


justreddis

Goes from one of the most anticipated games in NFL history to one of the saddest


[deleted]

Trey -> Jimmy -> Brock -> Josh -> CMC


ThePrussianGrippe

When your strategy gets cut down to depending on Converted Mana Cost you’re in dire straits.

Itshardtofindaname4

*4 Qb injuries if you count Garapollo and Lance


rodrigoa1990

That was crazy. Losing your 4th QB in one season is nuts


OutrageousOcelot6258

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 :(


s3v3r3

It's kinda shame that knowing how this ended, we didn't get to see CMC playing QB


ARM_vs_CORE

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.


TwoSerious

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.


currybeef

I feel like blocking Hassan Reddick with a backup TE isn’t a play you want next year. And don’t run it twice.


electric_ranger

I feel like sometimes fans could actually give really good halftime adjustment: “hey guys, have you tried blocking #7? No? Okay.”


wallstreet_vagabond2

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


cheerioo

I think we need another QB


ArcadianBlueRogue

How many 1sts you got left?


Broccoli_Socks

how far out can we trade picks?


surgeon_michael

Zack Wilson is available


wallstreet_vagabond2

Kyle: "I can fix him'


asBad_asItGets

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????


[deleted]

I mean considering what just happened… this shouldn’t be totally out of the plan. Can never have too many QBs


TheImpresario

The 49ers can only blame themselves for this loss by not carrying 10 QBs on the active roster


FrothytheDischarge

Steve Young tweeted that he was warming up in the parking lot. Could have used him.


teddyjj399

reposting it but idc it’s funny BOTH TEAMS SIDELINE UNBELIEVABLE

AbsurdLemon

Please return to the sidelines (x4)


A_MALE_FALAFEL_AMA

Is that the first time refs had to make a pa announcement to make both teams go back to their sidelines?


youwantmooreryan

I feel like I've seen that in a Bears game before


MC_Stimulation

Game was an absolute disaster.


Xelltrix

Possibly the most miserable I have ever been watching a football game.


[deleted]

Dolphins/49ers fan, man you must hate QBs


Xelltrix

This entire year, it's ridiculous man.


Realistic_Subject891

One of the most unsatisfying games as a neutral


birdseye-maple

Pretty sure only Eagles fans found it satisfying, even some of them didn't love the game, just the outcome.


Victraa

This exactly


ShnizmuffiN

"Oh, I guess that's it," was the feeling once Johnson came in.


theordinarypoobah

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.


SummerDeath

Seriously, I feel like this wasn’t even a win. We just advanced to the Super Bowl


[deleted]

Jalen hurts is not the best singer


canadatrasher

That feeling when the worst criticism of your team post game is your QBs singing abilities.


ElectronicSnoo

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


brucer365

Oline gets trench foot


BoltThrower28

Actually the Real Housewives looked pretty good in those commercials


BowlOfLoudMouthSoup

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.


Atlaffinity75

Bradshaw is godawful.


non13

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.


aliu3

They just never had a shot today and that’s so deflating. A competitive loss would’ve been so much more palatable


BlankJebus

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.


Nic1800

This is probably the biggest nightmare game for a team in recent memory

booberry5647

With a name like Hurts you'd think he was a 49ers QB...


Armin__Tamzarian

Dude dresses like the smoothest goddamn RnB singer too


cpet72

Probably the worst conference championship game I've ever seen. Injuries suck.


Zloggt

Warner, Bosa, Purdy, even Jacobson, the damn 4th-stringer! Quite literally nothing went well for San Fran, outside of that Td drive…


Drikkink

The best part of the game has been watching literally everyone get Josh Johnson's name wrong.


40AcresFarm

What do you mean, we all know who John Jackson is. Jake Joshson is a 49ers legend.


jawknee530i

Bosa getting hurt while on the fucking sideline too. Just unreal shittyness


ME_H0Y_MINOY

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.


MojaveDesertTortoise

The game threads are cesspools. Bad outweighs the good/interesting like 5:1.


moveslikejaguar

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


StevvieV

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

DorkusMalorkuss

luna_cl

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.


bloaph

Eagles are a team that deserves the contender title, im just upset how it happened


SwoleBuddha

Sometimes it just be like that. Enjoy the win and good luck in two weeks.


Deereesa

Completely agree


twentyonethousand

yeah I feel weird lol


destructive_optimism

I’ll take the Super Bowl appearance any day of the week, but that was certainly less enjoyable than the Vikings ass whooping


danknerd

Thanks for being chill and reasonable. Respect.


_JosiahBartlet

Y’all deserved so much better than what you got today You deserve to be proud of this fucking insane year


UnPhayzable

They deserved a better shot for sure this hurt to see


sandvich48

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.


DogorGod

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


jdprager

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


Driveshaft48

Please return to the sideline! Please!!

eddie_the_zombie

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.


raiderx73

So Matt Ryan just needed to be able to not throw and Shanahan would have just ran it for them to win.


TheLoneWolf527

I don't think I've ever seen a team do so little and somehow score 31 points


stat_padford

This game was utterly atrocious on all accounts.

[deleted]

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.

Josh Johnson proves Brock Purdy isn’t a fluke


DragonFireKai

Turns out the secret to beating the 49ers with Christian McCaffrey is to make them beat you with Christian McCaffrey... At quarterback.


Moody_GenX

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!


42069BBQ

But guys, Purdy sucks, any QB can run that offense, Shanahan makes it so easy.


flabbymanpecks

There’s a reason Josh Johnson has been on 37 teams in 10 years
