Yeah she is the largest draw..I just don't get it though. I heard enough TS on my last Uber drive home to say that she honestly sucks but that is just me haha. Next time I will tell the driver to put on something else lol. Not my cuppa haha

I don't listen to the radio and haven't heard a song of hers in years. Nothing against her, I just don't listen to that sort of music. She doesn't irritate me like some people on here. Lol idc if they pan over to her all the time, it's business, can't blame em. She's probably made the nfl a billion dollars herself already. She just made juices wife big time. She's a power house. She also does a lot of cool s**t like she gave everyone working on her last tour millions in bonuses from her own pocket. It is what it is, doesn't bother me.

Generally speaking, the media/so-called sports analysts always build up the underdog, come up with stupid stats to prove a point, get the fan base hyped, so that in turn increases the viewership => $$$. In the end, it's a business.

It's only "build up the underdog" when it's against the Niners, when SF is the up and coming team, it's usually "lulz they're pretenders and will come back down to earth soon". The anti-49ers deep state is a real

Time to remind the world of who TF we are

How many sacks did the Lions have on Baker? Six? Bucs let Hutch walk right on through a couple of times I think. And Baker's awareness really is not on the level Purdy's is. We will play better than the Bucs offensively for sure. Take care of that Hutch guy though, he concerns me lol.

Dude- a few of those guys are studs. Let's not be homers. We had all year for that. This is the championship game. It's going to be a good battle.

Not on the 49ers level talent wise.

Our blowouts lately show that..

They were pretty much blitzing him the whole time. Brock will pick them apart if they do.

I wouldn't mind seeing Jordan Mason get a few a few carries this week. He runs hard into the middle of the line and might soften them up a little. If Deebo can't go they could move CMC to the slot for some plays and use Mason.

Hutchinson versus McKivitz will be a key matchup. Kittle can line up over there to help out a bit, but if McKivitz can hold up 1v1, it will bode very well for the 49ers passing attack.

Just listened to Cohn and this other guy on live podcast......man, such Kyle trash talkers, so annoying.

I honestly think there's nothing Shanahan can do that would make them not criticize him, let alone praise him.

They blasted the conservatism pre-halftime, but then thought milking the final drive was "risky"......

"Oh, he doesn't trust his offense or defense".....

Well he absof**kinglutely trusted his offense on that final drive didn't he??? Compare that to the last time we played Green Bay at Levi's with Jimmy where we scored too soon (57 seconds left or so), and lost the game on a last second field goal. Here he had the buffer to not lose on a field goal, but probably felt he had more power to force the win than go to OT.

Back then I figured with Garoppolo it was score as fast and as easily as possible (which meant, Juice scoring extra fast was better than potentially not scoring), because we needed that TD. Here we were with the same scenario, and we took our time.

Tons of confidence in the offense, and plenty enough for the defense. Packers still had time outs, so it's not like it would've been super hard............Love just made the ending so anticlimatic unnecessarily (well for people that wanted a good ending at least, not us, lol). But was it so certain we were gonna win in regulation?

End of the day, I think deifying coaches can be a bit much, but I trust Shanahan to know WTF to do more often than not.

Oh Purdy won this game not Kyle? Guess what, so did Stafford for McVay, Mahomes for Reid, etc....these other f**kers aren't better.

I think media are overreacting to the Packers nearly winning. 49ers had two weeks rest. They came out rusty. Said rust is gone now though. We are back into the swing of things.

I wouldn't be shocked if we come out guns blazing.

McK ain't holding up 1v1, nor do I want to see it. Hutch needs to get the Bosa treatment. He doesn't get the 1v1 either.

he has 2 sacks (all against rams) in his last five games. A few more qb hits these past few games compared to the rest of the season. I think the lions blitz for a reason.

This. If you follow the money and those who have something to win or lose, the Niners are around 10 points better than the Lions for this game.

St Brown, Hutchinson, Anzalone, the 49ers are going to need everyone to play a whole lot better than they did yesterday. Purdy will have to be the Purdy we saw against Pittsburgh, Dallas and Philadelphia, not the Purdy we saw for most of the game yesterday.

It was raining. Purdy is a liability in the rain thus he gets a pass in terms of using the GB to project concerning next week.

Clears skies likely means we roll the Lions.

I was far more concerned about getting by GB than I am Detroit.

We should be in the SB.

Hey we are the evil empire. None of the media or other fanbases want to see us win. Let's embrace the hate.

Or are we the rebel alliance with the entire galaxy against us? Either way, may the force be with us.

Lafleur is an underrated coach/playcaller who has been burried under the whole Rodgers circus for years; GB is well-coached. I believe Shanny and Wilkes will do a much better job going against Dan "get in the van" Cambell and Glenn/Johnson, who are really good coordinators, but still not on the experience level as our guys.
Kyle will have the team prepared and call a better game this week.
