SF 49ers at LA Rams Pregame Thread - 2021 Season NFC Championship Game

It's evident the Bucs matchups were terrible. Their best RB was coming from an injury, and you can't beat the Rams if you don't run the football. Their offense fell just in the strenghts of the Rams defense, which is the pass defense on long yardage situations.
Todd Bowles defense has always been blitz happy, and Stafford plays well when he gets blitzed and has to get rid of the ball quickly, he knows his targets are 1 on 1. Kupp being so wide open on that last drive had no excuse.
But the Rams had butter on their hands... and guess which defense leads the league in forced fumbles?
Again, I don't trust Jimmy G winning the game. But he has played complete ass ever since the Titans TNF and yet the team keeps winning these must win games.

One thing for sure, I would take Donald and his crew over Packers' D-line any day. The Packers' D-line owned our O-line and won most of one-on-ones, may be apart from Trent. That taught me to never look at the PFF rankings again, is total BS!!

Whats BS about them? O line play is terrible league wide.

All the rankings on O-lines and D-lines are BS. Ranking Packers' O-line as 14th is BS, it took a long time before our pass rush could get through. As for their D-line ranked at 13th was massively underrated. We couldn't run the ball for most of the game until pretty much towards the end of the game. Mtchell only had 53 yards on 17 carries. Back in 2019 in the playoffs, Mostert ran 220 yards on them. Plus, Jimmy G was under duress all night. Did you watch the CBS Bay Area halftime show? Even Joe Staley was saying our O-line was getting owned and Jimmy G was just getting way too much pressure.

Didn't the Packers have some D-line guys out the majority of the season? I also thought their D-line played exceptionally well, but it isn't their norm. Not that their D-line is bad, but imagine a Packers fan thinking our special teams is great right now because of last night? It was a game in which the Packer defense had their best outing since Dom Capers was calling plays or maybe even go back to Reggie White, Leroy Butler, etc. They were that good, but that isn't their normal. If it were, they would've been 16-1 this year.

He did pretty well against the Rams week 18, otherwise we wouldn't be here

The Rams are trying to be like us, they are learning that in the NFC west you have to play bully ball because of us.

but the Rams are fake tough guys, more greatest show on turf than "who's got it better than us!" We should continue to make them play our style of football.
