I thought our season after the 3-5 start was a wonderful revelation. We sent a lot of teams packing before we checked out ourselves
My thing is that as someone said I am more of a 49er fan than an NFL fan. I'm not concerned about other clubs but when they're on our schedule and we'll have to face them soon
As far as I'm concerned when we lost energy diverted back to a focus on self on Sundays
I would have been the same way had we not made the playoffs. The only way I'd watch is if inadvertently I was flipping channels and the game happened to be more entertaining than other stuff I could stream
When it's Niners on the Telly I drop all things and tune in. When it ain't my interest just ain't there when I know I'm supporting a wife and three kids and trying to run a business
I will take three hours out to watch the Niners with no hesitation but as far as some other club, I'm gonna carry on with my work and IF I happen to be sitting down for a blow and a good game is on I'll likely watch it but this Sunday I have other plans and some last minute Valentine's Day ends I need to tie together before I get in trouble where it counts

Who Else Is So Bitter They Refuse to Watch the "Big Game"?

Losing in the playoffs sucks but this is the last football game until August. I'll definitely watch.

I'm not bitter. Listen, Jimmy was hurt. And hurt Jimmy is non functioning. Losing in the Super Bowl is so much worse than losing in the championship game. It's not like 94 or 89 or even 2012 when I just felt the odds were stacked in our favor. Losing to the Bengals in the Super Bowl wouldn't just be awful, it would be replayed for the rest of our lives. And if you watched Jimmy the playoffs and had confidence in him, then you're kidding yourself. We were 3-5 and dragged ourselves to the championship game. I couldn't be prouder and am ultra excited for next year with our future in Trey Lance. I'll watch the Rams and their briefly open window close. And I'll have plenty of beer and snacks on hand.

We were just too beat up. It had been 16 weeks since our bye week, and injuries were adding up. Trent Williams, Deebo, Jimmy, Kittle, etc, were all significantly affected. We had been on the road for a month as well. At full strength, full rest, we likely win that game, but too many of those factors started piling up.

I think what lost us the game more was poor situational playcalling and Jimmy G missing a lot of opportunities when they were there.
It is what it is. Hard to be that upset when you're the #6 seed and make it to the NFCCG. 2019 obviously hurts more. So does '11, '12, and '13.

If the niners aren't in it I'm always gonna root for a team who's never won a championship, so I'm pulling for the Bengals big time. Their fans deserve one after the pile of s**t they've had to watch for decades. Even if Gore

Can't bear watching McFly hoist the trophy. Built his team from the Nordstrom rack. Franchise builder.

Oddly enough, that second Super Bowl loss stung so bad that in comparison this loss to the Rams in the NFC title game doesn't hurt.
I'm not watching but will check my phone and if cincy is up or if they have a chance in the 4th then ill put it on. I agree the KC game was so bad that this one isn't as rough infact its the least devastating of the 5 playoff losses in the last 11 years.
1. KC
2. Sea
3. Bal
4. NYG
5. LAR

The are you mad bro Seahawks are worse in my opinion.
I remember being sick to my stomach as the were about to cement their "dynasty" but a certain 49er fan mr TB12 had other plans.
for the lowest of losses that was one of the greatest wins I felt in a long time. Big brother brady avenged us. Just like he did vs mahommes and fat Andy.

Can you imagine if the rams lose this game? That franchise will implode. Just like the Seahawks collapsed and never recovers from 1 yard line.
imo that's only thing better, watching the rams go all in… and lose LOL

Facts. 4 straight weeks on the road against 4 playoff teams; injuries specifically to our offensive skill guys. Rams did what they normally do: nothing. Not much from #99, #5. Kupp did his usual. Akers was productive. Just needed to come down with Staffords usual interception

Not sure about "bitter" but I'm definitely not interested in this game though I'll obviously watch
