SFGiants58 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Just now, ruttep said: Just gotta hope that the 49ers figure out what was malfunctioning tonight and get back to their regular season form. Deebo was out and the playcalling de-emphasized CMC to rely too heavily on Brock's arm. It seems like a simple enough fix, given some degree of introspection. 2 Quote MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Shame for GB. They’ve been playing good football and had a real chance. Wouldn’t have been my first choice winner but winning in the first year after Rodgers would’ve been pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowler2 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 That 49ers d-line is a little leaky when it comes to stopping the run. This is the 49ers 19th appearance in the NFC Championship game. 7-11 record so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 1 minute ago, Sec19Row53 said: And yet they hadn't allowed a 100 yard rusher in 51 games. How is that a little leaky? Maybe because they're usually leading and forcing opposing offenses to pass more? I certainly haven't watched a ton of 49ers games, but my hunch is that their run defense hasn't really been tested. That being said, when you look at the talent on the line and LBs, they should be good when tested. We'll (likely) see next week.

Ted Cunningham Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 15 hours ago, BBTV said: Greg Olsen is so good at this. I think Brady will also be really good, but Olsen definitely doesn't deserve to be demoted. If Brady actually follows through with his plan to broadcast next year, then FOX will have an outstanding B-team. I think Kevin Burkhardt proved himself to be a A-team-caliber PBP guy too. I always liked Buck and Aikman, but now after listening to Olsen so much, I can't listen to an Aikman game without noticing how little he actually contributes. I don't know how you feel about Romo, but I was recently talking to friends about how I think Olsen and Romo are similar in that they both seem so enthusiastic about watching the games in front them. From a layman's perspective, they both seem to know their stuff and provide some real insight, but they both also seem to be genuinely excited about what's happening on the field. Like you, I don't mind Buck and Aikman. But they also have a little more detached/aloof style; I don't know if that's because they've been doing it for so long and everything is just routine to them, or Aikman really isn't able to contribute as much as Olsen, et al. All that to say I, too, have enjoyed the games that Olsen has been a part of calling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttep Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Buck and Aikman have gotten a lot more fun since they moved to ESPN. It's like they got their money and then decided that they don't care anymore so they just let themselves be more loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guarantee Bills fans will say Romo's too excited about Patrick Mahomes because football fans are too soft to hear positive things about a player wearing a different shirt. 3 1 Quote Mancakes: The Bandhttps://twitter.com/FloydNimrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERRIN Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I used to absolutely love Tony Romo in the booth but over the last few years he's really gotten too cute with his attempts at comedy. Sometimes he still captures that 2017-19 magic but other times it's nauseating. I still think the insight he adds as a knowledgeable player is invaluable and he's absolutely a better color commentator than most, but I'm not as excited to hear him in the booth anymore. Greg Olson has all the excitement and insight that Romo has without any downsides. He and Kevin Burkhardt are an amazing duo in the booth, really hope Brady doesn't force them apart. Joe Buck has completed his redemption arc in my eyes, after decades of being the dryest commentator imaginable, he's turned it around and found a way to be exciting. Crazy what a little enthusiasm for the game does for the viewing experience. 3 Quote Perrin Grubb | Aspiring Designer | NAFA Project ~ NFL Redesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of Joe Buck's redemption arc comes from journalists' realization that he is a rich kid who went to private school and thinks everyone around him is an idiot. Most members of the sports media in the 2010s/20s are also rich kids who went to private school and think everyone around them is an idiot. In an alternate timeline, he's at Defector writing "Draymond Green Is A Big Dope Who Sucks Because He's A Big Dope Who Sucks." 1 1 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brady is expected to take over next season, wouldn't that mean he gets to do next year's Super Bowl in his first try? I don't know why it will be on FOX again after they just hosted it last year. I would've expected next year to be NBC, but I guess they've been tweaking the network rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've expected next year to be NBC, but I guess they've been tweaking the network rotation. NBC traded with CBS in 2022 so that there wouldn’t be a Super Bowl competing with the Winter Olympics. Plus, the new rotation contract goes in effect this year with CBS starting off the rotation.

Cosmic Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Did anyone else notice the clock kept running after that catch with ~11 minutes left in the 4th? Even though it seemed like a very obvious out-of-bounds to me? If one team runs out of time on a comeback drive at the game, that's going to be big. Edit: From the NFL drive summary. Pushed out of bounds, but next play didn't start until 39 seconds later on the game clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
