"Something that really, really got me heated yesterday — and I'm not going to call any names or anything like that — during the break, they were playing music," Rice explained, "and we had certain guys dancing that hadn't done anything on the football field; that didn't have a reception or anything. That's not the standard of the San Francisco 49ers.
If you want to dance, you want to be a dancer or do whatever, you shouldn't be wearing that uniform. You've got to be productive. You've got to contribute to the team. And if you can't do that, go do something else. That really just pissed me off. The Niners are not about that."
love it
There is definitely a feel of overconfidence in this team. After going up 10 you could feel it. There wasn't a sense of urgency or instinct to drive the final nail in and remove all doubt about who the better team was. We let them hang around and hang around and it even felt like the officials decided to join in the play as well. LOL
We saw that in the Superbowl right after the T.Moore pick too and IIRC, Sherman talked about that.
I thought that it was the lack of crowd and crowd noise that made the game feel flat to me. Seems like there was no intensity. Not sure how it was for the players.
Az didn't look like a juggernaught.
I know... the crowd's not the the drive to win, they play for the game, they're professional etc etc etc
Maybe that was my viewership POV.
I found the game less entertaining watching the game played in empty stands. But again that was how (my son and) I felt watching it.
But having played in a band in the past, I know that the crowd and their enthusiasm definitely drives a players performance.
