it's just moaning about calls at the end of the day. control what you can control. if we could land a true FQB, then we would get the calls, and no one of us would be complaining.

Great 49ers gift ideas ⇨

Jon Grudens redemption arc has been fun to watch. Barstool made a great move bringing him in.

You literally are though.

KC isn't the only team getting calls. They keep winning so it gets embellished. Every hold, every "bad ball placement" every personal foul. It's intensified because we all want them to lose.

I remember the LOB never getting called for anything. Good teams get calls (or get called). It's been like this forever. We all hate teams that win a ton, literally you can look back on every single one and say that the refs always favored them. Human nature imo.

my point is there isn't some deep rooted conspiracy that the NFL has rigged everything for KC to win every year. If anything you'd think they would want someone else to win it.

I don't necessarily disagree with you and maybe I'm biased but I feel like even when we're a good team we're getting robbed on calls way more than other teams. Usually you see some home cooking and we're constantly getting killed on key calls from the Bradshaw forward progress being blown dead way quicker than usual eliminating a key fumble to simple things like getting a delay of game call the split second the clock hits 0(they always give teams a split second)

I don't watch every other game but I don't recall other teams getting calls/no calls their way especially when the team is good.

And i definitely don't think it's rigged but some teams and players definitely get more of these calls or non calls going their way for whatever reason.

My thing is…just keep it consistent in that game. If you're going to let guys play then be consistent with it. Don't suddenly throw a flag late in the 4th if there is less going on than plays in the first quarter that were way worse.

Hits on QB are big inconsistency filled ones. Mahomes, Brady and most of the top dogs get those calls 99/100 times. Guys like Purdy, Jimmy G and the non elite guys get them maybe 70/100. That's inconsistent and it can be a critical play in a game.

I found it amusing that KC fans were going crazy defending the roughing call vs Houston saying that gets called every time…forgetting how an even more egregious and clear cut hit to the head wasn't called when Jimmy G was hit by Sorensen.

One call helped them break away in the divisional round and another non call helped them win their first SB with Mahomes.

Keep it consistent.

This may come as a surprise to you but this is a team sport. You have no problem looking at the results when virtually across the board the 49ers were worse this year than last year, including coaching. Your take is Purdy regressed and isn't worth extending.

Mahomes has terrific coaching and continuity around him. They're missing 1 key piece of their team due to injury heading into this game(not surprisingly can be said for the Eagles too and I'm not sure Nakobe Dean is really that key of a piece for them)

His defense may not be elite elite this year but Spags is still running the show and they're still very good. Their special teams are terrific too.

Mahomes IS having a down year for his own standards. It certainly doesn't mean the guy sucks now considering while his numbers are down overall he set career best in terms of game winning drives and 4th quarter comebacks. He and that whole team have ice in their veins, it's very commendable and we need that type of juice here.

But as others have said you don't get those opportunities if your defense can't keep the game close, if your special teams doesn't help.

Perfect example is the Denver win. Mahomes got credited with both the 4th quarter comeback and Game Winning drive.

Do we recall how that game ended? Leo Chenal blocking a 35 yard FG attempt that would've won the game for Denver.

This is a point you and some others want to ignore. Most of us understand how great Mahomes is...but we saw that he was not playing great football when he was missing guys. It's not shocking in the least bit that he's been playing his best football since they added Hopkins via trade and Hollywood Brown got healthy.

Meanwhile Brock has almost no consistency at his skill positions, OL having issues, defense can't hold leads, special teams can't stop hurting us. Coaching not making things easy until we're completely decimated by injury...and here we are thinking oh this season is very telling of what Brock is, let's forget the other 1.5 years we saw when the team wasn't a disaster around him.

mahomes is not having a down year. myth. fiction. i watch the guy play, i watch all the games i can, and he does nothing but impress. he is uncanny. i 100% have rejected, and will always reject, the mahomes 'down year' take. it's complete nonsense, and i suspect driven by ppl who simply don't watch and go off stats or advanced stats. what he's doing now is completely unprecedented in nfl history. you don't get to watch that, and say oh joe blow goff is having a better season, and i will take that seriously. i won't. mahomes is missing guys like you say, and he is playing unreal football. he's not doing much of anything wrong on a game by game or snap by snap basis. you'll have to clue me in to these stretches where mahomes isn't playing the position well. haven't seen that his entire pro career. the bold is a thousand percent false.

What year did Mahomes suck? If your answer is never then follow the logic here…stats would indicate a poor season for HIS standards.

I applaud you to the commitment of the goal post moving but there is nobody out there who would disagree with the statement that this is his worst season BY HIS OWN STANDARD.

Do you understand the difference between saying Mahomes is having a terrible season for a QB and saying he's having HIS worst season?

I'm trying to make you understand what happens to any QB missing guys around him. No QB is better with worse talent around them.

Good listen from Brady here.

Brock may not be as tall and his arm isn't at Tim's level but this is a trait that Brock does very well and why people thinking Brock is a finished product.

The ability to break down defenses like this is a skill that's learned and developed just like other things. I'm certain Tom couldn't break down defenses as well as he did in his 40s in his 20s.

The more film you watch, the more looks you get the easier it gets to break down defenses like this and Brock definitely has shown he has the processing needed to run an NFL offense at a high level. Need Kyle to give him some extra flexibility at the line as he gets more experience too and it would help greatly imo.

MUST WATCH on how Brady used film study to win at the highest level:

My magic superpower wasn't how fast I could run

It was how fast I could diagnose what they were doing

I could figure out what they were doing before they did it

I didn't snap the ball unless I knew my guys… pic.twitter.com/r97zbuSb0D

When the Master speaks...listen to Brady.

I was in awe when I saw Purdy's first snap against Miami after Jimmy was injured. I don't recall the specific play but I recall the shot of Purdy's face from the end zone as he settled under center. With five seconds remaining on the play clock, he looked up to see the time. There was no panic. Just that soft focus that said, "I got this." Right then, I thought, "This kid is going to be good."

I still have that game recorded and love to watch it and hear KB and Olson marveling at what they were seeing.

Pay the man.

Yeah one thing about Brock is he has never looked shook in a game no matter how bad things are going and definitely not during the biggest games. That's a pretty big thing for your QB. Seen guys with more physical talent than Brock melt in big moments.

Also speaking of that Dolphins game one of my favorite things from that game was seeing a Dolphins fan do a live watch of that game and how he felt when Jimmy got hurt and Brock came in. Basically a "oh we got this in the bag now"

The reactions from him as Brock made his big plays and Tua wilted were amazing.

We should bring this guy to back up brock. I love his energy lol

Yep, that Miami game was something to watch. His poise was something else. I think most of us knew Brock was going to be good during that game. I was distracted/bummed about Jimmy's injury, so that affected my hope still for the season but..there was something about Brock, he looked like a vet, that calmness reminded me of Montana, he was just in command of field. To be under that amount of pressure and it didn't seem to phase him one bit, it's almost strange to see because most qbs would probably have the nerves rattling a bit..not Brock. He was in complete command of the ship.

I thought, having a great qb take over after Jimmy's injury would be too good to be true, so, I was like, our season might be still screwed. But then the next game happened and holy s**t! Lol. Then his second start against Seattle..my literal thought was, "Oh my gosh, this guy is going to be in history books, I am watching history right now." Then I immediately bought a ticket for the Raiders game. I wanted to witness this part of 49ers history:). Damn good game too, that Raiders game:)

But yeah, the great qbs will all say that the key to success is mental, not as much physical..and it's very true. That's why I don't get into crap like arm strength, etc. Not everyone has too look like Favre with a big arm. I mean, Lance had all the "physical attributes"..but simply could not make it work in his head. Sorry but it's true. S**t wasn't clicking, I also think Lance seemed too hard on himself, to the point of it being detrimental. And everything together just..well, we all know what happened.

Between the ears, I think Brock is one of the best there is..pay the man

Hey if it's a little over 55, do it it'll be a bargain come '26

I cant decide if he struggled this year because defenses played him differently or the Oline sucked so bad he didn't have time to find what was left of an injured WR/RB class.

The OL sucked and then our defense and ST as well

How about zero holding calls in three SBs for KC? Really weird since in 2023 they led the league during the season. Easy to extend plays and convert third downs when the strength of your defense is essentially neutralized. And nah, they ain't winning this game. Philly better at every skill position with a monumental advantage at RB and their defense is statistically better. 31-20 eagles.

You know what team this season had the most TD drives extended with a penalty? The BILLS at 33%

Not talking about Buffalo or 2024.

I listened the entire clip waiting to hear Brock's name
