Thoughts on our beloved Niners tonight

[Ghazi]

This is just flat out disappointing. Moral victories about the almost come back don't matter. We had a great team this year with all the tools to win it all, but just didn't make enough plays this game.

I'm really disappointed in the goal line playcalling at the end there. not to be results oriented, but with Gore/Kap and the best OL in the NFL, it seems like you simply have to run there and ride your strength.

This is a sad time in Niners nation. I take solace in the fact that we have the best roster in the NFL and will be around for the next 3-4 years. but this hurts.

as for the Ravens, they earned it... but something about this doesn't feel right. Does anyone feel like they were the best team in football this year? I guess it doesn't matter as much as simply executing for 3-4 games in the playoffs, and that's what they did.

[Lincoln]

Lol bandwagoning faggot

[KoolAid Mans Brother]

lol "we"

lol fake fan

[DPG21920]

:lol Ghaz brining the mavs curse to SF.

[Brunodf]

Just some fluke Ravens plays tbh, Kaep will be better next season.

Unlike last year with the Giants, the Ravens truly were the best team in the NFL. Don't forget they started off 7-1 and the injuries caught up to them. Unlike NE's & Denver's fools gold records, the Ravens finished it in style.

I truly believe the Ravens would've beaten the Giants had they advanced to last year's Super Bowl. Their defense is amazing.

[DPG21920]

Ghazi, wrong about dem SF. :lol calling a team that was getting blown out the best roster :lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Just some fluke Ravens plays tbh, Kaep will be better next season.

Kap might be better next season, but the Niners will probably have more injuries to deal with. Their depth was untested this season and they won't get that lucky ever again. It was fluky how few injuries they had this year.

[chunticakes]

plus they get stronger seattle and st. louis teams to deal with next year.

[Clipper Nation]

Not even the best roster in your division, Seattle's is better....

[HarlemHeat37]

Kaepernick will be tested by the Black QB curse, tbh..

Doug Williams had an under .500 record following his SB appearance and eventually lost his job..

Steve McNair never reached the SB again following his only appearance..he eventually became depressed, leading to DUIs and trouble in his personal life, subsequently dying in an embarrassing incident..

Donovan McNabb choked in the SB leading to a downhill slope in his career..he got fat and stopped giving a shit, tbh..

Can Kaep's White parents keep him motivated and mentally strong?..we'll see, tbh..

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Kap won't be the problem for San Fran going forward, tbh. Their lack of depth and reliance on staying completely healthy all season will. Their secondary is also mediocre at best and even when it's completely healthy relies on an elite pass rush to make plays. Idk what their cap situation is but they can't afford to lose any starters on defense because every starter they have plays every down with no depth behind him.

[TIMMYtoZO]

49ers will also have the SB loser curse to deal with next season. Teams who lose the SB are cursed for the following season. Kaepernick also looked scared out of his mind at times tonight and he failed on that final drive. :lol

[Ghazi]

what about the SB winner curse? :lol Giants

:lol Giants then Broncos.
There's no curses or issues for this Niners team. They have the best roster in the league and it's not even close.

However, the Seahawks are just as good as us and are in our division

[HarlemHeat37]

Ghazi, I'll bet you 1000$ that neither Seattle nor SF will win the SB next year, tbh..you have until September to accept, tbh:lol..

WTF!?

[Ghazi]

There's too much parity in the NFL to say anything about the future, but Niners will be fine for the next few years.

The roster is widely regarded as the most stacked in the NFL. The only issue could be to find a replacement for Justin Smith in next few years.

But again, too much parity. Could lose their 1st playoff game, could win the Super Bowl. The early contenders look to be the Niners, Seahawks, and Packers in the NFC.

[Ghazi]

Ghazi, I'll bet you 1000$ that neither Seattle nor SF will win the SB next year, tbh..you have until September to accept, tbh:lol..

Obv a bad bet for me. Too much parity in NFL.

This isn't like the NBA, where taking the Heat v the field this year would probably be a good bet. ANY two teams v the field is a bad bet in the NFL.

[HarlemHeat37]

49ers will also have the SB loser curse to deal with next season. Teams who lose the SB are cursed for the following season. Kaepernick also looked scared out of his mind at times tonight and he failed on that final drive. :lol

:lol Kaepernick's last 3 plays were atrocious..NFL coaches will have figured him out by next year, tbh..

ELIte would have easily converted one of those final throws, he's probably the most clutch QB of our generation..

I wish the Broncos had Eli this year, tbh..even at safety instead of Rahim Moore:lol..

[Ghazi]

Kap got doomed by the playcalling. they shoulda just kept it simple and lived and died w/ the zone read w/ Gore.

[Ghazi]

timmytozo:

nobodys stopping the Giants this year :lol
nobodys stopping the Broncos this year :lol
nobodys stopping the Packers in the NFC :lol
Oh no Matt Ryan lost a game, he's no longer elite :lol
Either Kap or Flacco will be elite based on the outcome of 1 game :lol
lol Kap has never been close to an elite QB, Flacco just morphed into an elite QB :lol

:lol comparable takes to BRHornet.

[HarlemHeat37]

Timmy2Zo has already proven he's the best prognosticator on ST and arguably on the entire Internet, tbh..

If you aren't familiar with his work, use the search function..his World Series prediction was legendary..his Miami Heat predictions were on point..he predicted the Giants would win the SB when everybody counted them out, including their own fans..

Sure, he's had a few false predictions, but his percentage shits on anybody else..when he drops knowledge, I listen, tbh..

[DPG21920]

Ghazi's takes are so terrible he changes them 10 posts into his own thread :lol

"SF has the most stacked roster"

others chime in "no they don't Seattle is just as good if not better and thats just in their division"

"Oh yea, you're right"


Wrong about dem Niners.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Gotta agree with Harlem here...Kaep impressed me a lot (after a closet Niners fan killed the power grid), but he has a lot to work on b/c NFL coordinators only need a little under a year of game film to figure out all your tendencies. Kaep is exceptionally mobile, but his footwork is absolutely atrocious in the pocket. His big arm bails him out of a lot of telegraphed passes too, b/c of the zip on the ball.

[Ghazi]

:lol Harlem, it didn't take a wizard to predict the Heat would win a title last year. Jesus.

[HarlemHeat37]

I was actually giving him a lot of credit in the game thread, I was impressed..however, nearing the end of the game, Timmy2Zo sent me a PM(true story) telling me that Kap was going to choke once he's forced to win a game from the pocket..he was correct, as usual, and if he says that DCs will adjust next year, I believe him, tbh..

I'll ignore the impact of the power outage on Kaepernick's 2nd half performance..

The nigga is young and should improve, he never touched a centers balls in college. It'll be interesting to see what he does next year. Does he work on his game and take the next step or hit a wall like many before him?

[DPG21920]

:lmao wrong bout dem Mavs

:lol historically stacked roster 22-26 in the NBA

Best roster in the NFL getting blown out, only to have a power outage help them but still lose :lmao

Most stacked roster not even in their division :lmao

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Kap will not be the issue so long as San Fran is providing him with an elite O-line, an elite receiver, and the best tight end in the NFL. If San Fran actually has to deal with real injuries next year, that's when Kap would run into problems.

Yep... we're fucking stacked. and Kap will be a top 10 QB next year, if he isn't already.

Kap doesn't have to apologize because he's not as good as Aaron Rodgers.

[RGMCSE]

Wheres that pathetic fuck simple19? I want to offer him one of my tarps to dry his fucking tears with. I'm reveling in your your pain bitch!

det 49ers secondary is unstacked...holy hell they suck

[Ghazi]

I hope we can get something good for Alex Smith. he Can start on 10 or so teams in the league right now. and can turn some bad teams into fringe playoff contnders.

[chunticakes]

word. they got nothing but head hunters who don't know how to cover.

:lol Come on Ghaz..

[Ghazi]

What? He could start on half the teams in the AFC and the Cardinals/Vikings in the NFC...

[chunticakes]

he's a glorified bus driver scrah.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Alex Smith wasn't trusted to play caretaker on a stacked team, but somehow that makes him qualified to turn shitty teams into contenders. Another solid take:tu

[crc21209]

Pretty sure the 9ers will be back just as good if not better next year. Although that damn seconday did fail them tonight....

[RGMCSE]

I actually agree with you. I wouldn't be surprised if the Jags made a run at Alex Smith. Alex Would actually be a perfect fit in Jville. Two up and coming WR's and MJD at RB. Not to mention he would have to compete with anyone for the starting job or face his old team twice a year unlike in Arizona.

[Trainwreck2100]

Enough tape on Kap for Ds to shit on the Pistol offense he'll be figured out just like Cam was this year. The Ravens D got em rattled and they only had 2 weeks

[Ghazi]

Jets would be a fringe playoff contender with Alex Smith.

They were 6-10 this year with putrid QB play despite a decent OLine

Not inconceivable Smith would make them a 9-7 or 10-6 team

Same w/ the Dolphins and Chargers. Smith > Rivers at this point.

As for other teams it would just be an upgrade. Cardinals would still suck due to their OLine, but surely wouldn't be as atrocious on offense.

[DeadlyDynasty]

If people were paying attention they'd realize that the 49ers secondary has been nothing but embarrassing in all 5 playoff games since Harbaugh took over. Just an overrated, horrible unit (not the whole D, just the secondary) that does nothing but make big hits.

[Ghazi]

Enough tape on Kap for Ds to shit on the Pistol offense he'll be figured out just like Cam was this year. The Ravens D got em rattled and they only had 2 weeks

60 plays for 478 yards and 29 points isn't rattled.

[chunticakes]

funny how goldson and whitner were both pro bowlers.

in any event, last year the niners failed to make the superbowl due to smith's inability to convert a 3rd down. trabtree's name was never called until kaepernick stepped in.

but yeah, someone will overpay for alex smith but they will undoubtedly regret it.

[RGMCSE]

kind of like that one time some one over paid for romo?

[Trainwreck2100]

60 plays for 478 yards and 29 points isn't rattled.

how many of those were after the power outage?

[chunticakes]

kind of like that one time some one over paid for romo?

correct. but at least romo can convert some 3rd downs lol.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Alex Smith is a system QB, tbh..he was completely irrelevant prior to Harbaugh's arrival IIRC..

He can't make big plays, he can't play under pressure(the Saints historically bad defense doesn't count), he doesn't possess any special qualities that would make him an upgrade over most starting QBs, tbh..

He could help teams like the Jets and Jags, but only because their current QBs are atrocious..

i dunno, I like Alex Smith on the Jets. It was only a couple of years ago they almost went to the 'bowl with a borderline retard under centre...
