Five turnovers.

We moved the ball against them with ease. With half those turnovers we beat them.

It doesn't make sense. It's only going to add more fuel to Baltimores fire.

I thought we are favorites to win the Superbowl because we have a better chance to beat the Lions than the Ravens have to beat the Chiefs, so we have a lot better chance to get to the Superbowl, which makes us have a better chance to win the superbowl.

Of course if it is the 49ers vs the Ravens for the Superbowl, I'm certain we will be the underdogs.

Fun fact - 49ers are the toughest team to tackle, leading the league in yards after contact (95.3 per game). Meanwhile, the lions allow the most yards in the league after contact (63.5)

Of all the weeks for Harbs to return to the NFL, he does the same week that the niners play the Lions in the NFCCG. Coincidence or..... ?

I like it lol

Lol I just heard a guy say "the niners put up 24 in one of their worst performances of the year. Imagine what they'll put up on the lions if they play well."

Of the recent 49ers in NFCCG, the current defense would probably stack up this way:
2019 > 2021 > 2022 > 2023

Now do the offense.

Reverse order.

Just to put things into some perspective

Offense
2019- 29.9 ppg
2023- 28.9 ppg (meanigless week 18)
2022- 26.5 ppg
2021- 25.1 ppg

Defense
2022- 16.3 ppg
2023- 17.5 ppg
2019- 19.4 ppg
2021- 21.5 ppg

This season seems to have the highest ppg differential between offense and defense that we have had under Kyle.

2023- +11.4
2019- +10.5
2022- +10.2
2021- +3.6

I think the 2019 defense was our best, but they were really banged up down the stretch of the regular season which hurt their numbers. They gave up 45 points to the Saints for example.

We need to tackle better as well. Logan Ryan was 💩 last week. Get Brown in there, he can't be any worse and he's actually a part of this team long-term.
