I can't speak for anyone but myself but it's not fear. It's just wanting the easiest route to the super bowl. Lol if we could play tampa in the second round and then lions in the NFCC - would be amazing. Lol

Yeah exactly. And maybe the Steelers in the Superbowl without TJ Watt. Give the Niners the easiest road to the 6th Superbowl thank you very much.

Well, I guess this answers the question about anybody can play Kyle's offense. No, "anybody ", only "someone".

Just a reminder that the Rams are 10-7 but only 2 of those wins came against playoff teams, Browns pre Joe Flacco resurrection and the 49ers with their backups. Must be 2 Rams teams

But I wanted Victory Monday

We will have victory bye week 🤘😎😈

I was so glad the rams went for 2. I did not want to see OT. A 13th win on the season would have been nice but the game itself was completely meaningless. Glad we got out of there without any new injuries.

i think that was the point

it was obvious neither team really cared about the actual win by resting their starters

Alota people in denial here. This teams overconfidence is why they get beat a the fans are just continuing that. The rams will beat us if we play like yesterday again, easily.

Maybe its just me but I thought the rams looked like they tried pretty damn hard in the 2nd half to get the win. I mean we were up 20-7 at halftime. The rams could have just packed it up in the 2nd half but didn't.

Niners will beat the Rams by 17+ if and when we play them in the playoffs. Book it

Yes. I am aware of that. This game was more like a pre season game and nothing that took place should be taken seriously.

There's no denial. Rams are a known commodity to us.

Rams fans have their one win against us in the NFCCG in the last few seasons to hang their hats on and we all know what it took for them to get that win. That was when the Rams were the Super Team too and still needed us to drop an easy pick, be unable to pick up a 2nd and 1 and all that with Trent Williams playing on one leg and Jimmy G playing injured.

I don't care how well they played Baltimore. I'll give Stafford and those guys all the credit they deserve. He's a great QB who can make some amazing throws which are impossible to defend.

But I've watched us beat them with Nick Mullens and a beat up roster while they had the #1 defense in the league. If we shoot ourselves in the foot and turn the ball over, commit crazy penalties and drop balls and miss passes we can lose to anyone but this is the playoffs. I trust our group to come out prepared to play whoever our opponent is and especially if it's the Rams given they ended our SB aspirations in 2021.

Simply I trust our offense over their defense more. And I trust our defense to come out refreshed and making enough plays to get the win.

It may not be a blowout game and people are all paranoid about Moody losing a close one for us...but I simply trust our team more. That's not delusion. None of the NFC teams have a better roster than us. So we SHOULD win.

Any given Sunday still applies but thinking we will beat the Rams isn't delusional.
