SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS vs TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS - 2022 Game 13

Montana is still The Goat to me.

Montana was more like Magic while Brady is like MJ and kobe?

manning more like LBJ - just best mind in the game

I am still trying to process what I witnessed yesterday. What all of us witnessed. At least one reporter has issued a story comparing this game to another game that Nick Mullens started. That was indeed a good game. But Mullens didn't look like this in that game. He did not look like Purdy. I saw Purdy make exactly one bad throw yesterday. One. It was a pass over the middle that he should not have thrown and it was picked off. Fortunately, for Purdy and the 49ers, a penalty wiped that play out.

It's still a tad early, imo, to declare this kid as "something special." It's only been two games. But it appears that Purdy has turned this team from possible Super Bowl contender to an absolute beast that cannot be stopped. I hope this ride continues. I really do. Because, if it does, we will all get to witness something very, very special. We will all see something that we, as 49er fans, will remember and talk about for the rest of our lives.

This wasn't just an average win. We've all been fortunate to witness those. No, it's not. Last week's game and yesterday's game are the type of contests that we will want to see again. The replay of this game on the NFL Network will be listed in the Calendar section of our smart phones. We will all want to see this again. We will all ask, did that realy happen?

We're not there yet. Fate is a fickle thing. But this could be a special season. For all of us.

I love this! Well written and yes, this was an incredible win. I know I will always remember it and wanna rewatch highlights for the millionth time.

Purdy is going to throw an INT at some point and hopefully it won't be a costly one. I can live with that as long as he keeps making big time throws that rtesult in TDs. I sat in the stands through all the Montana and Young years and believe me the fans moaned many times when one of them threw an INT. They had their fair share but they also made up for them with the big plays. That's how they won Super Bowls.

Football is a little like the stock market. You can play it safe and conservative and never really lose too much but you never gain a lot either. If you're willing to gamble you'll have days with big losses but the goal is to ultimately be a big winner, not just a survivor.

I hear you. I agree with you. It may just be me, but when I watch Purdy I see Montana against the New Orlean Saints. Game 14 of the 1980 season. Montana who? Who was this Joe kid? Why is this crazy kid slinging passes all over the field? What in the world am I watching here?

I will tell you what I watched on that day in 1980. I watched the birth of a legend. An absolute legend. I have never forgotten that game. It's been 42-years and I still will never forget it.

I get the same type of vibe from Purdy. He is slinging the ball all over the field. Completing passes that nobody in their right mind has any hope of completing.

Could I be wrong? Oh, YEAH! Have I been wrong? MOST OF THE TIME, YES! But, I'm telling you, I'm getting that vibe.

I had my doubts going into this game. I thought Kyle would be more conservative and protect Purdy against the 5th ranked pass defense. But he ended up calling a game that was everything but conservative. He must really trust and believe in this kid.

I thought we would go deep into the playoffs again with Jimmy but also fall short again with Jimmy. Especially if we had to go into Philly and play the eagles. But Purdy has a killer instinct that Jimmy just doesn't have. There is no selling out to stop the run and clamping down on the underneath routes any longer. Defenses will have to defend every single blade of grass going forward.

I think we have the defense, the offensive firepower and the sniper at QB that will be needed to go into philly and beat them. I feel a SB coming. Is it a bit premature? Possibly. But I can't help but feel that way about this team because they seem to laugh in the face of adversity.

Sometimes, it's not the best team, but the "healthiest" team. PHI, DAL, CIN, KC are a lot healthier than we are.

I love the enthusiasm and I get the good feelings too:) I was too young for the 1980 game, however, as a kid watching Montana to Rice days in the late 80s, I remember it like yesterday. Was lucky enough to witness the back to back Superbowls and Bill Walsh. Like there would be 2 mins left and behind in a 4th quarter and I was like nah they got this. Comeback Kid. Elway in XXIV looking high on weed or drunk or both with those horrible "passes" lol. Like he was throwing wild turkeys out there. One hot f**king mess that had me laughing for days after. The Young days were special but I mean what beats Montana to Rice?

*sigh* (a good sigh) lol. Those of us who experienced the Montana days, long to relive something like that again. The fact that this even makes me think of Montana..*sigh* ❤️ 💛 the feels

I think I felt it most as the first half came to a close. Purdy is moving the 49er offense. The TV pundits are claiming all he needs to do is not screw up, and the 49ers are in position for a field goal to end the half. And, then, BOOM! Purdy hits a WIDE OPEN Aiyuk for a TD. BOOM! 28-0 49ers. WHAT DID I JUST SEE???

I was shocked. I think my mouth was wide open. I couldn't believe it. There have been some good to great 49er QB's since Montana. And I don't want to get too excited because it's only been two games. But I have a feeling this kid could be something really, really special.

Yup. Those teams are healthier and yet we have the longest win streak in the NFL.

I don't wanna get too excited either but I will just enjoy the feelings right now and soak it all in:)

Let's just say he has some of those intangibles that the combine can't measure. All the stuff they measure and time at the combine is only half of what makes a great QB.

That was mostly due to KS calling a stop and go route instead of turtling up

Purdy pump fake helped to sell it

I agree with your assessment. I really do. But successfully completing a play like that is a lot harder than it sounds from a simplistic version. How many QB's would have done that? Could have done that?

And now you have people like Greg Papa on KNBR, who said just moments ago, that he thought Purdy was the best QB on the 49ers back in training camp. I was kind of surprised he let that admission fly. And, provided it's true, now that he has admitted it, how many others felt the same way?

Both of Aiyuk's catches came on the same drive (the first catch was on a Swirl route, the other was the touchdown). Check out the similarities and we know why the CB totally bit on the 'Stutter Go'.
