He also forgot that we just completely shutdown a future HOF QB and a top 5 playoff team in the NFL. Yet, we're still getting blowout by LJ and his Ravens because they blew out the 3rd best team in our division. Lol. Grow some marbles and have some faith in our team. Niners are 10-1 for a reason.
It's got nothing to do with marbles. But, if you want to talk marbles, I would say at least I have enough marbles to face up to the facts and reality.
So, I see a team that could take us down, I call it and all of a sudden I have no marbles?
Wow, so what is the point of having a forum? People can't have different opinions?
Lots of people were worried about the Packers game too and I didn't have a worry in the world. So? You talked up on Aaron Rodgers as HOF QB and top 5 team, etc. I don't agree with it and I was right. I have never been concerned about Rodgers or the Packers ever since Alex Smith took them down. Nothing much or let's say not enough has changed, Rodgers still throw too much and the team is still soft. The Packers weren't even ranked as a top 5 team in the NFL even before that loss nevermind after the loss.
What facts and what reality are you really talking about? In reality, the Niners are 10-1, which is also a fact. The way you're talking makes it seems like the Niners are 1-10 or sub .500. In reality, the Ravens haven't faced a complete team in all 3 phases like the Niners. When we hit on all cylinders, not one team in the NFL could stop us. Since you love telling people to go watch the games, do yourself a favor and go back and watch the annihilation of the Panthers and Packers, those were the games that we hit on all cylinders. I understand the Ravens are a good team, I get that. But so are the Niners. The Niners are not some pushover team dude, that's another fact. Kittle, Sherman and company ain't just gon lay down and have the Ravens step all over them. Go watch the games, you might learn a thing or two about this team's tough mentality.
We deal in facts here. Did you know the Ravens offense has not even punted the ball once in 3 games? When was the last time you came a cross a team which could do that? Oh and in that Rams game, did you know in all of the Ravens' 6 drives, they scored a TD in every single one of them? Talking about efficiency. In other words, we are not talking about hyperbole here.
Do not put words in my mouth, I never made the 9ers seem like they were 1-10, you said that. But, just because you are 10-1, that doesn't mean no team could beat you. Instead, you just get over emotional about it .
And save that whole speech about mental toughness. I have watched the Panthers game no less than 4 times. Again nobody said anything about the 9ers not being mentally tough. But, you are harping on the wrong thing here. Just because you have mental toughness, it doesn't mean you can't get beaten. You are totally missing the point here, is all about match-up.
Is really about time you get into your head that the 9ers D have a problem with mobile QBs or may be most teams do. Lamar Jackson is not only fast, he is not small neither as far as mobile QBs go, he is not running to slide, he wants max yards and to score on you. He is what you call a match-up nightmare.
On top of that, it is not like he can't throw neither. 24 passing TDs 5 INTs to date, that is in fact better than Jimmy G's record although Jimmy has thrown for more yards.
That is my opinion and I have already repeatedly said I could only pray I am wrong. If I am wrong, then fantastic as it would mean we would have beaten them. But, at this very juncture, based on what I've seen to date, I can only fear for the worst.
