I don't see why you feel the need to come invade the 9ers thread with your BS. Look at the post genus made; he highlighted all the bad calls the Chiefs had in their favor. We had what, one missed offsides line up?

Read this Lunatic

Why don't you highlight his post and tell him to stop crying? Or refute any of the calls he had listed? Or are you just trying to troll / stir up ****?

The Saints in their NFCCG with the Rams had one bad call go against them. The league changed rules for them. Isn't that enough?

I don't see how one bad call vs. several is really comparable. And I'm not making threads about it, I'm talking about it in game threads and in the 9ers thread. It was obviously called in favor of the Chiefs to anyone with eyeballs and not a whole lot of bias. If it were the Saints and not the 9ers I would be saying the same thing bud

Why don't you go to the Saints thread, or make one? Rather than coming in here being so excited that the 9ers lost. It's getting pathetic

I'm not ok with his performance considering he didn't get us a win. But I have seen 49er fans ready to move on from Jimmy and blindly throwing out his numbers in the 4th QTR and flat out saying he sucked.

He wasn't good, I've said that several times just adding context.

And agree to disagree regarding what Mahomes would do. When you're getting hit there are no QBs who stop mid throwing motion to "improv" we're talking about completely different plays. Once a QB commits to a pass and a guy is coming in on him the best you can hope for is you can muscle the ball in there and also protect yourself from getting hurt. Not a lot of improv that can be done there.

Once they review the tape I think they'll definitely see plays they'll want back. The question becomes what is Jimmy being told by the coaching staff. Just like my discussion with Lunatic I don't think Kyle is very eager to see his guys ad lib and improv on plays.

He's there for a reason and it's his play design and play calling. I know analysis happens and everyone can point to "he should've went here" but the only people who know the plan on a certain play are our players and coaches. We don't know who the first read is on a play or what Jimmy is able to see based on the traffic in front of him.

We've seen more improv from Jimmy before his knee injury. It's possible after that injury he's less included to roll out of the pocket and try to find open guys down the field or it could be that Kyle said…stick to the plays.

It's a guessing game right now.

Garoppolo will not be Patrick Mahomes so 49er fans need to understand that. We have to hope both Kyle and Jimmy learn from this loss, get back to the drawing board and both work to improve on the things they failed on this year.

Jimmy has just completed his first 16 game season. He's got less starting experience than Mahomes, Trubisky, Baker Mayfield and even Josh Allen.

Starting experience is so key in a quarterbacks development that you really can't judge guys until they get a few seasons as a starter.

I have seen a lot of good things from Jimmy before his injury. I've seen a lot of good things after his injury. He has work to do and that's clear. I think he's going to come back strong from this loss but time will tell.

Christ, Genus can’t even admit that was a terrible 4th quarter from Jimmy G.


That was the definition of choking.

Well i guess its draft season now.

Bigdeep01, how impressed were you when the 49ers gave up a 10 point lead with 11 min left in game?

Not very impressed tbh

It would have helped if the Chiefs got called for holding, but you still can't give up that many points

Sherman got beat bad

let's be honest:

1. JimmyG did the same type of mistakes all year (I called'em on this thread)
2. BUT Jimmy is a ROOKIE - 1st full year under the center + SB appearance
3. He outplayed Mahomes for 3 quarters
4. The play calling in the 4th Q was questionable (I still don't understand why they went away from the run)
5. There is no FA QB better/upside than Jimmy

On D: I don't understand why Sherman was playing 1-1 on receiver SO close to the line and to make matter worst he wasn't putting his hand on the receivers either - he got burn pretty badly but I will blame the coaches for that one.

After so many year sucking I don't understand some 49er fans… The future looks bright and all those rookies are only going to get better within another 1-2 years under their belt.

Jimmy G is definitely not a rookie in any sense of the word. This is the end of his 6th year in the NFL and his first year as a starter was in 2017. Just because it took him until he was 28 to finally play a full season due to being a backup/injuries doesn’t mean he’s a rookie. He’s essentially a super ****ty version of Kurt Warner. Congrats?

“The 49ers struggling with mobile QBs narrative is overrated! We shut out Russell Wilson in the first half of our last game against him so therefore we are going to beat Mahomes!”

-99% of 9ers fans before Sunday.

just because he has been around for awhile doesn't mean that he hasn't experienced those situations before. I am not saying the guy is a HOF QB but he is def a QB that can win the SB… zhit Grossman went to the SB… are u telling me Jimmy can do better than a guy like him?

He has this supposedly “elite” team with an “elite” HC but blew a 10 point 4th quarter lead in the super bowl. And he had the BALL with the 10 point lead and still couldn’t score again in the game. Last night was either a referendum on the “inability to finish” from Kyle Shanahan, Jimmy G, or both. Take your pick.

Rex Grossman lost a Super Bowl by 12 points, Jimmy lost by 11. Results are results.

I praised Kyle when he ran the ball a gazillion times during the div game but I'm still scratching my head why he didn't do that after 10pts lead - each run was going 3-5yds so why changing the team identity during the last Q? Jimmy could have done better no question about that.

Andy Redd has f'ed up a gazillion times during his time in the NFL - I'd think that Kyle would learn from this (and from the Falcons too).

Jimmy definitely isn't a rookie but he is a young QB starting experience wise so he'll improve. I also see a very different QB this year than the one we saw before his knee injury. I think we'll see a lot better play from him when he's 2 full years away from the ACL injury and is able to actually use the offseason to work on his game instead of spending most of it on rehab.

I mentioned it before but I really think the lack of time to work with Sanders bit us in the ass on that play in the 4th. He's been with Kittle since 2017 and had a full offseason to work with him which is usually when you get the timing down. His throw to Kittle that was wiped out by the tick tack OPI was spot on. Sanders who came in mid season so their connection hasn't been as spot on…overthrown.

But as far as Jimmy's mistakes to me they weren't the same ones we've seen this year. If anything I think those earlier mistakes may have bit us in the ass as he tried to account for them.

On the drive we ended up getting our last FG on I believe it was 3rd and 2. Jimmy drops back to pass and a linebacker is in the area of Kittle, Jimmy decides to throw it to the slot and KC makes a good play to tackle before we can pick up the first down. Problem is Kittle was getting open and if Jimmy throws back to him it's a first down easy and possibly a TD.

It's possible Jimmy didn't see it or simply decided he'd go to his first read and hope we could break the tackle for the first but that will be something he needs to improve on. He's gotta start doing a better job of looking off defenders and getting guys open with his eyes.

But back to his mistakes I think it was more of what I wrote about above. His turnovers in this game sucked but I do believe he was trying to throw the ball away when he got hit mid throw which made the ball float and allowed the DB to get to it. It's hard to say he should've taken the sack when you think you can get it out in time. The second pick was one we've seen time and time again - prayer pass the defender made a good play on over our WR. We weren't winning the game at that point anyways.

Jimmy isn't going anywhere and it is what it is. He may never be elite/top 5 guy in the NFL but Eli Manning has 2 SB wins. Nick Foles has a SB win. You don't have to be an elite QB to win the big game…just have to avoid mistakes and have a good team around you.

This time we made too many mistakes and KC made more big plays in a close game. I said it will probably come down with who had the ball last and it pretty much did. We had our chance to win the game and didn't take it. KC and specifically Chris Jones took that game over.

It is very hard to play defense in today's NFL, especially when the refs allow the opposing OL to hold without consequences and your strength on D is the DLine(probably why Belichick is all about that DBs)

Curious to see what moves we make in free agency, which of our own we retain and what we manage to do in the draft with limited and low picks.


I'll definitely be busy next season so it will be a different level of investment for me but I'm still excited for what the future of this team brings.

It's a very weird change from what he's been doing this whole playoff run. Giving Mostert 12 carries after the game he just had also seemed odd.

But at this point it's not going to change anything. It sucks but there is blame to go all around. We took our foot off the gas(ironic given the whole all gas no breaks mantra the team has had all year) and Mahomes found his groove and our offense was eaten alive by Chris Jones.

this x2

"I'll definitely be busy next season so it will be a different level of investment for me but I'm still excited for what the future of this team brings."

"It's a very weird change from what he's been doing this whole playoff run. Giving Mostert 12 carries after the game he just had also seemed odd." - adding to this: and it is not like KC was stopping the run, the running game was working great.


it sucks to lose but u have realize this is a team that has a lot of young and CHEAP talent for the next 2-3 years.

stfu and get a life man. Anyone with half a brain knows that game was rigged in the Chiefs favor. Although, not sure if you have half a brain.

Yeah. Bosa, Deebo and Greenlaw were awesome finds for us. Bosa obviously #2 overall you're expecting great play from him but we also had Solomon Thomas at #3 and we know how that went.

Still Bosa has been a straight beast for us. Easily our best player in the SB. You know he'll do everything in his power to get us back there. If Jalen Hurd stays healthy and shows some of what we saw in preseason then last year's draft can be the glue that holds this team together for a while.

We will be dishing out some big bucks soon though - Buckner and Kittle will be the highest paid at their positions(maybe not Buckner due to Donald's deal)

Honestly while i'd like to keep Armstead to keep the consistency it may be better long term if we tag him and manage to get a 1st rounder from another team but we'll see if that happens.

Definitely sucks not to have 2-4th rounders but we'll see how it goes.

Need to add to the secondary. Our front 7 is pretty legit. Definitely gotta try to improve the interior OL. That's what killed us in the SB. Wasn't the outside rush that f*cked us over….maybe our guys should've been holding better.

DBs, OL top needs and if we don't re-sign Sanders I'd also dip into this WR class which is pretty legit. We need to add speed on the outside.

Ignore him. Guy hasn't had anything meaningful to say in years.

Saw Mike Lombardi talking on Pat McAfee's show about the refs and it was spot on.

He said before the game that if the refs were not going to call holding all game then Kyle may as well have told KC to take the Lombardi trophy at that point.

49ers biggest strength on D is their DL. If KC was allowed to hold all game long with no consequences well…we saw what happened.

It wasn't what specifically lost the 49ers their game and they had opportunities to still pull it out but when you take the team's clear advantage and neutralize it, it becomes a pretty uphill climb.

It really is unfortunate how the NFL rigged the Super Bowl in favor of the Chiefs. That was one of the more lopsided called games I’ve ever seen in the playoffs or SB. I mean, there was a huge uproar about the Saints single play last year, and this is actually the Super Bowl and there were a half dozen calls like that today, and EVERY SINGLE ONE went against the Niners.

49ers report card, comments?

Seriously ignore him. The guy has no actual team he roots for so you're talking to someone who posts on a sports related forum just to troll.

That's about right. I think the loss of DJ Jones hurt the run defense because Sheldon Day isn't a starting DT in the league. Also what hurts the run D is the front 4 are all gas and no brakes with the mentality of getting up field as quickly as possible which leaves running lanes open.

I'm still super curious about Breida's lack of use down the stretch.

Oh well it was a great season all in all especially considering I thought we were a 8-9 win team going into the year. Hopefully we can continue to get better.

who is a FA after this season?

I’m a Chiefs fan. The better team won. Move on and focus on losing less than 8 games next year.

The starters are Sanders, Armstead, Ward

That's going to be tough. I wouldn't want to get rid of any of them. Armstead you definitely have to keep, I think he got snubbed on pro bowl, he's been solid all year and has improved tremendously. Ward I think improved a lot this year too.

If you would have asked me about Sanders after his first few games I would say to keep him at all costs; he did have an immediate impact. But these last few games and the way Samuel has been coming on strong, I'm not so sure. It sucks because we had Hurd and Taylor on IR all year so who knows what to expect out of them. I still feel like WR is a weak spot

I'd love to keep Sanders but his age is also part of the equation. This draft class is LOADED at WR. You'll definitely see some quality guys in the later rounds end up starting and playing well.

Big question mark will be Pettis. Did Kyle completely lose any trust in him or will we see if being demoted and not guaranteed a starting spot gets the fire under his ass. I'd love for him to pick things up because he is very talented and perfect for this offense.

Armstead I'd love to keep but at what cost? Do we give him a long term deal? What happens with Buckner? Kittle? Can't pay all those guys.

I think best thing to do is tag Armstead and we either get another year out of him without the long term commitment that could hurt us extending Kittle/Buckner or we trade him and get more draft capital to improve the team.

I would like to see Damontre Moore signed. He played pretty well for us whenever he got the opportunity and it's a damn shame he got hurt.

Ward still has the injury concerns. He finally stayed healthy for most of the year and played great but maybe the team feels comfortable enough with Moore taking over(turn your head kid)

That's why getting to the SB and losing sucks so much…you just never know when/if you get back and it sucks that the players on this team couldn't get that championship. Still time left for some of these guys but damnit I really wanted Joe Staley to get that ring.

It sucks because the Oline played so well most of the game, and did it without holding guys unlike the Chiefs Oline.

It's going to be a long road getting back to the SB next year. There's a lot obviously between now and then but damn, I feel like this was the year if it was going to happen anytime soon
