shhh we won. that means we were perfect an we made no huge game changing mistakes.

The point is that this is the playoffs. We are playing very good teams. Believe it or not, they gameplan just like we do. Sometimes they can cancel or mitigate our strengths and we have to change things on the fly. With our roster and how our team plays, I don't expect blowouts... just hard-fought games that hopefully put us in a position to win.

These MAJOR flaws he speaks or are things to be fixed in the offseason. At this point, we are who we are. Enjoy the ride and cheer for your team.

I now wonder why we say cut the mustard. Who cuts mustard? And how? Or why?

This is a good question 🤔

there's no reason that just because we won we can't also be miserable. can't let the cowboys fans hog all the heartburn

I don't want to hate on a road victory buuuut,

1. I wish Kyle had a bit more killer instinct. 3rd and 3 inside cowboys territory, up 10-0, they get 2 yards and it's 4th and 1. He kicks a field goal. You got to put your foot down. Dallas got momentum and scored a td on the following drive.

2. Why not go for 2 after that deebo td? You'd be up three scores.

3. Why send the house on that punt? You have all the momentum in the world, don't let special teams beat you.

There were a ton of other brain facts. Those are just off the top of my head.

They led the entire game and won a playoff road game against a good team.

But to some of our fanbase believes even if we win we lose.

Complaining about playoff wins….Bengals won their first playoff game since 1990. How would this fanbase react if they went through that type of drought

No doubt, I'm thrilled with yesterday's victory. But this team is obsessed with shooting itself in the foot, or at least attempting to. Here are 3 things that need to be cleaned up if there's any chance to beat Green Bay:

1) Kyle abandoning what works (yesterday, the run): yes, the pick was Jimmy's fault, but there is NO reason to throw there. Up 23-7 with 10 minutes left and 2nd down, run the ball twice and punt if need be. That would take the clock under 9:00 and back Dallas up. I'm still amazed that during the last series of the Super Bowl vs the Chiefs, Kyle didnt run the ball once. There was plenty of time to conduct a "normal" drive. Instead, 4 passes and a loss.

2) Special teams: an absolute train wreck. There's no need to pressure the punter, only bad things can happen. I agree with Kyle, special teams will not win the game, but they absolutely cant lose it. Kick and punt coverage and returns are AWFUL and not communicating to player to ALWAYS be mindful of a fake punt when up big is inexcusable. Play it safe and smart and move on.

3) Brain farts: I know Demeco wants to be more aggressive, but SF doesnt have the CBs to play 1-on-1. The first TD would not have happened against cover 2. Bend but don't break. And on the last drive, not covering the sideline for the first 2 (or 3) throws? I mean, LITERALLY having no one on the sideline...what sense did that make? And offensively, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF MOTIONING THE LINE ON A QB SNEAK?? Jimmy is sneaking between the C and G. Tackles and TEs are basically not even part of the play. Unnecessary in every way.

On average, SF is a rather smart team, but too often they try to get "too cute" or do things that are flat out dumb. And that's on coaching.

Very well put. I couldn't agree with you more about all of these obvious problems that you pointed out in your post. Even a quality road playoff win should never be allowed to blind us to all of the glaring flaws in this team that will burn them down the road. Even though we played well the past two weeks, we also got a bit lucky because the Rams threw 2 interceptions just as we did and Dallas threw an interception and committed 14 penalties. Green Bay does not beat themselves with foolish turnovers and penalties so we can not expect to get so lucky against them. We are playing well for the most part but we must clean up these flaws immediately or our season will end this weekend. We must run the ball down Green Bay's throat, continue to play solid defense and not turn the ball over and we absolutely can win this game. GO NINERS!!

If I'm not mistaken against the #1 offense or dvoa as well?

Who's complaining about the win? I think it's more of Complaining because we can do better ... and let's start by getting rid of Tower and PI Norm!!

IF we fans can all see the problem of those 2 individuals, why can't the coaching staff ??

You're right. What a moron. He'd be so much further ahead if he coached according to profound, erudite wisdom like yourself and the other WZ sages.
