Championship Weekend - Complaints, whining, unrealistic expectations

[El Kabong]

lol a play like that has never even occurred to our coaches

Good.

[K_C_]

Rookie wall last week? He played just fine, did what was asked, played smart, made a couple throws.

I'm not a believer in Jalen Hurts as an elite QB.

QBs don't get hit like that every game. Tough luck for the 49ers.

I think that game would have been a brawl if Purdy hadn't gotten hurt. The defense he faced last week was pretty nasty too.

No.

Philly's defense shits all over Dallas's.

ALL OVER IT.

They absolutely destroyed the Niners and not only fucked up Purdy, they completely SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING SAN FRAN TRIED TO DO.

SHUT IT THE FUCK DOWN.

They shut down the run game they knew was coming with no threat of the pass.

Eagles defense was 8th in points. Cowboys were 5th.

Eagles were 14-3. Cowboys were 12-5. They split their RS meetings, both losing the game without their starting QB.

Dude....the Eagles destroyed the Niners. Destroyed 'em. Dallas didn't fuck Purdy up. The Eagles did.

This shit isn't rocket science.

[Jobu]

Cincy o line turning back into a pumpkin.

Yep. Last week they were sharp and in sync. So far tonight, they are all standing around with their thumb up their ass.

Spagnolo is scheming confusion them into confusion.

That’s for sure!

[Orangesteel]

McKinnon was another guy I was banging the table about when he left SF. But nope, Tomlin was happy with our RB room.

Great call you fucking jackwagon!

[Kodiak.]

lol a play like that has never even occurred to our coaches

Good.

It was perfectly designed, and awful execution. Yet somehow still relatively safe.

That last shovel pass, on the otherhand....

[K_C_]

That. Was. Really. Dumb.

If Kelce does a better job with that lateral, it's probably a TD.

[langer]

Not a real hold. Refs keeping it close.

[Kodiak.]

That. Was. Really. Dumb.

If Kelce does a better job with that lateral, it's probably a TD.

Yeah, I thought it was phenomenal play design.

Now maybe Kelce is pitching that kind of blind, but there was no one near McKinnon(?)

[jeemie]

That. Was. Really. Dumb.

If Kelce does a better job with that lateral, it's probably a TD.

Nah there was a Bengal defender coming up…would have been another 10 yards at most.

1 defender is beatable. No guarantee he makes that tackle.

[Kodiak.]

You just know kicking FGs probably won't be enough to beat CIN

[jeemie]

I didn’t know Brian Tuohy posts here.

[K_C_]

You just know kicking FGs probably won't be enough to beat CIN

Agreed.

I actually expect Reid to go for this after the timeout.

[K_C_]

Weird.

With Mahomes I go for this every time.

[TTP]

You just know kicking FGs probably won't be enough to beat CIN

Agreed.

I actually expect Reid to go for this after the timeout.

110-0 in yards but only 6-0 where it counts.

Reminds me of the Todd Haley Steelers.

[Havoc]

No.

SHUT IT THE FUCK DOWN.

This shit isn't rocket science.

49ers offense struggled vs Cowboys

Shutting an offense down that has ZERO threat of the pass is what a good defense SHOULD do.

Maybe the 49ers shouldn't have put their backup TE on that 1 on 1 matchup.

[jeemie]

Hmm…KC can’t be letting Cincy hang around when their O-line is in disarray.

If they start getting their shit together…

[Kodiak.]

Weird.

With Mahomes I go for this every time.

Reid has been a little too aggressive in the past, at times. I don't knock taking the points after only 1 quarter.

It maintains momentum, too.

Yep.

That field goal is a win for Cincy. A big win.

If Burrow goes down and sticks this in the end zone, Reid will look like an imbecile.

Fortunately, the Chiefs are putting a shit ton of pressure on Burrow and hopefully, they break him in half.

Disagree. Cincy has a high scoring offense.

The Chiefs aren't playing the Steelers today.

[Kodiak.]

just toss that ball to Chase for 8 yards....why can't we do that?!?

Cincy has a real playoff defense, they won’t allow six straight TD drives.

They also probably won't go scoreless offensively at the half.

....because if they do vs Mahomes, this game will be all but over.

Right. This game probably won't be a shootout, and 6 after Q1 is nothing to sneeze at.

[K_C_]

Well, DJ wouldn't get both feet in bounds.

[Kodiak.]

he did have time on that play

[Kodiak.]

so CIN response to the KC rush is to get rid of the ball quicker. Doesn't appear to be working....

[K_C_]

Reid is going to regret kicking that field goal.

[Jobu]

just toss that ball to Chase for 8 yards....why can't we do that?!?

Because we don’t have Chase…or even a reasonable facsimile.

[K_C_]

Cincy about to take the lead here.
