SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS vs ATLANTA FALCONS - 2019 Game 14

D is banged up and just let up a TD. Get the first and the game is over. You had two downs to get 4 yards.

And what if they don't get it?

You're asking that same banged up defense to prevent the Falcons from getting a FG on a short field.

We basically couldn't stop Ryan and Jones - even the winning td it was Jones with the catch.

For real though, injuries played a huge part in why the defense couldn't stop them.

So why not double up in Julio and make someone else beat us then?

Just have to do it the hard way. Take care of business in Seattle. But hope they don't over look the Rams this Saturday 🤨

If they do, then they don't deserve the one seed.

I think the better answer was to blitz Matt Ryan more and it seemed like Saleh just refuse to do that.

I had thought if they couldn't beat the 4-9 Falcons at home they don't deserve the 1 seed

I still can't believe they didn't double or triple cover Julio Jones. Make literally ANYONE else beat you.

We rush four to have all the other guys drop in obvious pass downs...and this was our solution? Jones vs. Reed 1:1? lol

Rams D line is going to clown our O line all day. This loss was bad but the next two losses will have this place going apocalyptic.


Just accept the wildcard rest the players the next two weeks, accept your fate and hope for a series of road wins in the playoffs.

Good chance Jimmy G gets hurt against the Rams D line when they sack him 9 times or more in the game.

we are going to run all over the Rams. Rams have nothing to play for now they are out of the playoffs. Id be hella worried if they had won yesterday

Falcons defenders were dropping out from injuries, the offense still struggled. Incredible

They're not out yet.

They need a lot of help from the Vikings, but they still have a shot.

If both the Rams and Vikings finish 10-6, the Rams are in.

Rathman is right though, who can say they had the confidence the defense would make a stop? You take your chance and try to get the first down, essentially winning the game. It was inevitable they were gonna score whether it be a touchdown or a fg.

I can guarantee this team isn't going to come out sleeping these next 2 games, if they lose it's because they just flat out lost. This game against atl was them taking s**t lightly for the most part. Rams just got killed by the f**king Cowboys for crying out loud, fact is win out and you're the 1st seed

Everyone's complaining about not being able to stop Julio Jones but he's one of the best receivers in the league. You don't stop guys like that, especially when you have 2 starting DB's missing. The falcons have been the highest scoring team in the league in the 4th quarter and have actually been playing well the last few weeks. I'm sure their fans were asking why they couldn't stop Kittle.

I think what we're seeing is what I feared when looking at the schedule. We had several tough, physical games in a row and the injuries are starting to mount as the stress of playing so many hard games in a row catches up to them. We probably get most of the guys back for the playoffs but unfortunately 2 key guys won't be back. The middle of both the D and O lines will be without keys guys in Jones and Richburg. That means we don't get the push and run stopping from the middle on D and we don't get the pass protection in the middle on O. Those are 2 real concerns.
