San Francisco 49ers vs. Los Angeles Rams 🚨 TNF Instant Reaction πŸ‘€

All right, check the mic. We’re live. Just saw a wonderful Thursday night football game here, Sam. San Francisco 49ers get the win. 26-23 over the Rams. NerS are the team that move to 4- one. Rams fall to 3-2. What an impressive game. We didn’t give them enough credit on the preview show here today as the line moved further and further in the Rams direction. What a performance by M. Jones and company for the Niners. Yeah, what a crazy game. I mean, it was a game where the Rams were already favored and then everyone on the 49ers got hurt and listed in the injury report and wasn’t going to play and so the line swung even more towards the Rams and even then you’re like, I’m still taking the Rams. So, of course, the 49ers come out with like a methodical, you know, surgical opening drive, score a touchdown, the Rams don’t answer, the 49ers get another touchdown, and suddenly like they’re just they’ve chewed up the entire first quarter basically. Uh, put two scores on the board. And I mean, even then, it’s like, okay, yeah, that’s that’s impressive by the 49ers and they’re playing well, but there’s a lot of ball game left and we kind of expect the Rams to come back. and they did, but then every critical big play went San Francisco’s way, right? There was the fumble where they called uh they called forward progress instead of fumble and return. That would have that could have been a touchdown. Was certainly a turnover if they hadn’t called that. And that that’s one of those arbitrary, you know, was his forward progress halted. Sure. Do you generally see a whistle that early? No. So, that was iffy. There was the monster, you know, fumble at the goal line by Alfred Collins. Forced fumble at the goal line to stop the Rams going in again. Late in the game, another fourth and one. This time they stop, they get the stop. Like just this sequence of massive plays in this game and all of them bounced San Francisco’s way. And credit I mean the Niners made some of those plays obviously the Alfred Collins forced fumble. They blocked an extra point. Rams missed a field goal. There was a lot of plays uh where the Rams are probably kicking themselves. And then at the very end, we go to overtime. It’s 26-23 Niners. Stafford rolls out, throws back across his body to 22 Atwell to get into field goal range. It looks like all right, Rams are at least going to tie it here, but they go for it on fourth and one. Karen Williams gets stopped on that play and the Niners get the win. Um, if you were watching the Prime Vision broadcast, you saw our friend Sam Schwarzstein talking about that’s the right move for the Rams. Fourth and one, right? You can kick the field goal for the tie. There’s three and change left for the NerS and they have sudden death. Next score wins. So, you’re putting the ball in their hands to score and to win. So, if you’re trying to win the game, I think going forward it’s the right move for the Rams. But, man, credit the Niners for making that run stop right up the gut and there was nowhere to go. Niners stuffed it pretty easily. Yeah, particularly now in this era of the new K balls and being able to kick from the moon, right? Like if you’re giving somebody a sudden death opportunity without very far to go at all in in uh a sudden death kick mode, that’s that’s absolutely risky. I mean, you basically need to hold defensively immediately. In addition to how the Rams have kicked these last few weeks, multiple blocks and missed, you know, missed a field goal earlier in the game. Uh M. Jones in a in a game where you’re missing not only you know Brandon Iayuk’s been out this entire season but you’ve got Ricky Piol you’ve got Jawan Jennings both of your best two receivers are down we were making jokes about it this morning uh Kendrick Bourne Marquez Valdez Gantling you know got Demarcus Robinson you’ve got Sky Moore who are you going to throw to well it was Kendrick Bourne who uh M Jones has good chemistry with from their Patriots days but M Jones goes 33 of 49 for 34 42, two touchdowns, born with 10 catches for a buck 42. Um, and then of course the Christian McCaffrey show catching the ball out of the back field and you know what he’s able to do. I mean, the Niners did it again with Kyle Shanahan, M. Jones, and just putting it together. What Tim Cup, Sam, Tim Cup was back. It really was. I mean, it’s a great example of that analogy in in full flow again. Kendrick Bourne had a great game and he was coming off not a great performance. So, a big game for him to bounce back. Like their three leading target uh getters were Kendrick Bourne, Christian McCaffrey, and Jake again. So, it’s been like a bigger part of the passing offense in the last couple weeks than he’s been in his entire life up until this point. Uh and those guys, you know, did did do well. M. Jones like he had a good game. He generally executed what was there. He also, we talk about all those plays that bounce San Francisco’s way. I mean, he had a horrible turnover worthy interceptable, should have been dropped interception. Uh, Josiah Stewart dropped into the the window, dropped the ball, and he took it away from Cameron Curl right behind him, who also would have probably intercepted it if it had gotten through. So, like the worst play that M. Jones made in the game doesn’t count. Scratch it from the record book. Didn’t happen. So, like these are the things you need to bounce your way in order to get a result like that. But yeah, M. Jones played really well playing through an injury. You know, the the knee braced up um a PCL injury that he’d sustained in training camp and aggravated recently took kind of a beating throughout the game like was under pressure a lot. So, you know, credit to him. Impressive performance. Uh it really was. I thought, you know, gutting it out and just look, I think there’s definitely turnover worthy play in there. But, uh, that aside, the ability to just manage the offense, get rid of the ball. I thought the Rams played a little soft, uh, coverage wise, you know, for the Niners were getting rid of the ball quickly. Thought the Rams could have been a little bit more aggressive and, you know, maybe maybe challenged the receivers a little bit more, but they didn’t. And, uh, Niners took advantage. And in another one of those games, like you said, like they get up 14- nothing, but it’s like, yeah, you know, they’re one touchdown underdogs. That’s going to be tough to maintain. Uh the Rams made the comeback to get to 2020. It should have been 21 to 20, but there’s an extra point blocked there. Ruining, we got to talk about the AI thing in a minute. U ruining the comeback story, but um Niners hung tough, man. and they just kept answering even though you know they they handled the comeback from the Rams to give themselves a chance to win in overtime. Yeah, they I mean they did an amazing job. I think you got to give Kyle Shanahan a ton of credit and then you also have to start, you know, bringing up that the late game play calling and did he get it? Was he too conservative that let the Rams have the opportunities to come back and you know win that game at the end? Okay, they didn’t do it, but there was a lot of kind of Kyle Shanahan just running the ball, trying to choose some clock the way he’s done for a lot of his NFL coaching career. But overall, this game you would be like, look, the Rams were supposed to win this game easily. And I mean, even, you know, as good as this 49ers defensive performance was at times, and the Rams put up like 450 yards on offense, they probably should have won this game. But you got to give Kyle Shanahan a ton of credit for getting himself 400 yards of offense with M. Jones and just Christian McCaffrey really amongst the starters and then Kendrick Bourne and Tongis and you know Demarcus Robinson and Kyle Yuschek like this was a really impressive coaching performance overall even if maybe he did tighten up late and get a little bit too conservative again. But the other thing I think you need to throw up is like for a team that is supposed to be a sort of Super Bowl contending side potentially in the Rams like this secondary or the cornerbacks really might be a real problem. Uh it was Alfred Collins who really saved that game. Yeah. For uh for the 49ers. That force f. What a Now he punched Kron Williams in the face and sometimes you get away with that if as long as it’s on the way to the ball. You always get away with that. It’s so funny when you see it like on the regular broadcast it’s like, “Oh, there’s a fumble.” And we all see it except maybe Al missed it for about a minute. You see the fumble and you see the replay and it’s just like a straight up Tyson overhand right to the jaw on the way to the football. But man, what a great play. I forget who it was a few years ago, but like Justin DJ Watt ran up and just like hoofed a dude in the head and I don’t think he even got the ball at any point. He just ran up and punched him and it’s like ah he was going for the ball. It’s fine somehow. That’s fine. But if you just like graze the face mask like ah 15. Yeah. I mean technically speaking that’s an ejectable offense and you know and uh like a personal foul and yet we just we decide if he’s going for the ball it’s fine. Ah, Charles Tilman did it. It’s all good. Don’t worry about it. It’s It’s fine. That was an amazing play, though. I mean, he is he’s scoring a touchdown with what, like a minute and six left on the clock. Um, and it was a and he comes like from out of nowhere, two yard line. There’s nothing but, you know, green grass in front of Kron Williams and then this just giant meat claw comes from the right, clocks him in the head, and then punches the ball out on the way through. Amazing play by Alfred Collins. Questioned in the chat why the Rams didn’t go for two like our guest Seth Walder suggested. It wasn’t that was not the situation that we were talking about. The situation is if you’re down 14, the Rams were down 13. So that’s a clear you you just kick two extra points and you should be up 21 to 20. Do you have anything else specific about the game? Because I want to talk about this this Grock AI prediction and how that distracted me for probably 80% of the game brut for that score. Yeah, I mean that was it really just an amazing performance in the 49ers even then like all they found a way of winning all those high leverage plays right and it was a combination of Alfred Collins makes an amazing play uh late in the game you know the fourth and one stand that’s an amazing defensive performance from them um you know they made a bunch of plays they also got bailed out by the officials blown a whistle early on one of them and the the Rams didn’t make their plays when they had them to make the turnover worthy play, the one play where M. Jones really does put the ball in harm’s way and the Rams don’t come up with it. So, you had the full suite of like all of the high leverage plays went San Francisco’s way and it was a combination of them making plays, the Rams not making plays, and then just one official throwing his his two cents in there as well to make sure of it. So, it’s uh it’s 17 to7 at halftime. I’m just uh glancing at the Twitter machine and I look at the AI headlines because every now and again, you know, you get some fun ones and the AI headline says 49ers outlast the Rams 28 to 24. And I’m over there thinking, well, that’s that’s impressive. We’re just at halftime. I’m pretty sure it’s 17 to7, but Grock knows. And so I was like, hey, this is this is breaking news. Let’s see. And then, you know, put that out there, tweet it out, and people are like, “See how it plays out.” And then the ners get up 20 to7 and somebody tweets back and is instantly like, “Rams score two touchdowns.” They get up 21 to 20. And then ners have to score a touchdown and they go for two and it all of a sudden you’re at 28-21, another field goal. Like we This is This is doable. And the Rams just go down. I’m just expecting it at this point, Sam. I’m just expecting this to happen. And the Rams go down the field for two touchdowns. Like as soon as the Niners got stopped on their third down after the Rams first touchdown, I’m like, of course, of course they got stopped. They need to punt it so the Rams can get the second touchdown. And the Rams scored two quick touchdowns and it’s 2020 and it was perfect. They could have had that extra point, but it got blocked and it ruins the AI and the uh prediction. What was that? I mean, is that like an old game that it somehow surfaced the headlines from? Like what the hell was that? I have no idea where the wires got crossed. The funny thing, you know, there’s always somebody in the comments is like at Grock, is this real? And Grock doubled down was like, yeah, this is the real score, but you know, sometimes we make mistakes on this or that. And I think it like corrected the stats or something like that. And it had stats. It was like it was also McAffrey had two touchdowns. Yeah. And so because it was on for like a lot of that game. This was on. And so like the whole middle of the game I’m sitting there distracted by the what are the prospects of this thing happening and as the Rams score the two touchdowns I’m like this is this is perfect. I’m waiting waiting for the extra point and then the Niners are going to go down score the touchdown and get go for two. It would have been perfect. can’t I was not prepared to handle that coming true like if that the amount of hysteria around the NFL being rigged or AI is now so AI is basically Skynet now it’s able to predict the future based off like second quarter performances of games like either what those are the only two explanations effectively right other than absolute blind ass luck that it predicts one of the most unlikely things to ever happen by just accident but either One of those two things would have been the conclusion that everyone drew. Either the NFL is scripted and rigged and somebody just broke the the uh broke policy or AI is so good that it’s able to like predict the future an hour and a half in advance and we’re all screwed. There’s someone in the chat is sending me other tweets of other madeup AI results here. Ty Tyreek Hill’s helmet headbutts boost Dolphins in 31-24 win over the Jets. This is claiming that Tyreek Hill celebrated a 75 yard touchdown with helmetto helmet bumps to teammates during a 31 to 24 victory the other night apparently. Oh, that’s hilarious. That’s good. You never know. You don’t even have to watch the games anymore. Sorry, but I I uh I got I got slightly distracted by that as the game a lot of people did. But it was uh it was a I feel like I saw it first though. I brought it I alerted the world to it first before people started picking it up. Uh but it was a it was a fun fun Thursday night game and uh apologies to the NerS because I did not I didn’t think they had it in them. Uh breaks aside, yes, some things went their way. Yeah. Gutsy performance by M. Jones. And for those who might not have listened to us six or seven years ago when you brought up the tin cup analogy from Kyle Shanahan, remember Jimmy Garopppolo started less than half of the games when he was supposed to be the starting quarterback for the NerS. And Shanahan’s overall record wasn’t great without Jimmy G, but he was he’s got Nick Mullins on these record leaderboards for most passing st passing yards through 10 stars. Like there was a point in the career where Kyle Shanahan’s like CJ Beth Nick Mullins Mullins I don’t care. we’ll make this thing work. Like he’s always dealing with injuries, so you labeled him tin cup, you know, he just kind of stitched it all together. Yeah. For anyone that hasn’t seen that movie, it’s a Kevin Cosner movie where he plays an old kind of career failure golf pro. And there’s one scene where he basically goes and hustles a guy where, you know, some guy’s out in the golf course with his full fancy ass set of Callaway golf clubs or whatever and 10 cups out there with a set of gardening tools like a rake and a shovel and a baseball bat and all this kind of stuff and he beats the guy with that. That feels like what Shanahan does sometimes in these situations where he’s dealing with Robert Tanes who’s basically a gardening rake relative to you know a fiveiron and doesn’t matter Kyle Shanahan gets it done. Um it is I don’t believe there’s any QB controversy in San Francisco. Al was trying to start one. He was he was absolutely trying as well is taking victory laps over it. Dano is taking victory laps from two years ago, three years ago now actually, the 2022 Patriots offense that featured Matt Patricia as offensive coordinator. Former colleague here at the 33rd team, Matt Patricia. No offense to Matt, but he was not an offensive coach. And the results were kind of like, hey, you brought a defensive coach in to call offensive plays. That’s what it looked like. And Dan O generally works by under the premise that every quarterback is good. It’s kind of like the old philosophical like man is man is basically good versus man is basically evil and you you you have like the debate stage. That’s what we used to do in high school. And uh Dano, it’s like every quarterback is good. Like we’re going to work under the premise that every quarterback is good. And the only reason why bad happens is coaching or system or or playmakers. And he said a couple years ago, hey, if you put M. Jones in San Francisco, he’d play just as well as Brock Party. And look at him now. Three and 0. Mhm. I mean, can’t argue with it at this stage. Uh I Yeah, look, I it’s one game. It was a good performance. It It does represent kind of a high watermark of M. Jones career from quite some period of time. Maybe he can I mean, I said, look, when we were writing when the rumors were that Shanahan and John Lynch had traded three first round picks to take M. Jones at the top of that draft, like I wrote an article about M. Jones does fit the Shanahan offense really, really well. Like, it’s a natural fit, but for the same reason a lot of quarterbacks fit this offense well because Kyle Shanahan is Tin Cup. Kyle Shanahan makes magic happen. And, you know, so quite a lot of quarterbacks, I think, would perform well when he’s dialing it up, when there are free guys over the middle. You know, the Rams still don’t really have any linebackers. They still don’t have any corners really to speak of. And so, yeah, there’s some guys that are open quite a bit and M. Jones is able to hit those and able to to, you know, anticipate throws pretty well and deliver the ball, right? Would Brock Purdy have been able to do that as well? I mean, we’ve seen quite a lot of evidence that he is. So, I’m not sure you’re I’m ready to, you know, make any dramatic decisions there. Uh, the other thing is, is it time to put Al Michaels out to pasture as as a play-by-play announcer? Oh, Sam, come on. Mean, he’s a little It’s not mean. The man’s rich. The man doesn’t need to care. Like man doesn’t care what I think of him and he’s filthy stinking rich. Like what difference does it make to him? He’s a little tardy with some of his calls. I honestly he’s How old is he now? Like 80 or something. I honestly think it’s eyesight. I genuinely think he just doesn’t see what’s happening on these plays and so he can’t like the Is it the opening kickoff where the ball’s live? It’s like bouncing around. I genuinely don’t think he sees it and he can’t make the call because he doesn’t know what it is. He doesn’t know what’s happening. He did came Jordan Whittington. He kept saying Jordan Whittingham. Yeah. Yeah. He came back and corrected himself after halftime when someone like, “Dude, stop calling him that.” He had to cut. He was probably midstake and somebody’s like, “Al, you keep calling somebody by the wrong name.” He was Listen, the man’s in his home city. He’s at his favorite steakhouse with the place where he’s eaten 397 times. This is This is number 398 over the last five years. He’s so excited for his halftime steak, you’re going to mess mess up mess a couple names up. It happens. I don’t I don’t have a huge problem with, you know, goofing on a name or even getting the score wrong or, you know, a couple of the other sort of factual things that he did in that game. I that’s he’s earned that, right? That’s he’s enough credit in the bank. Do you believe in miracles? All that kind of thing. That buys you a lot of goofs late in the career. I’m okay with that. Well, my problem is the critical key significant plays of the game where he like paralyzes himself because he can’t see what’s happening and so he can’t make the call. Like Kairen Williams fumbles at the goal line and Al’s just silent for a while because he doesn’t know about it. He didn’t see it. I had a theory that he was watching the Prime Vision broadcast. It’s, you know, it’s tough to see the ball sometimes. Somebody was tweeting um me. I don’t have the thing to hand so I can’t credit them but they were saying apparently he was on Dan Patrick and was sort of saying look old stadiums right like Arrowhead or whatever you know they build those stadiums vertically so you get a good view from the announcing booth of the field and you can like call the game by just looking at it now with all these new stadiums you’re miles away and he’s basically got to commentate from a monitor and I genuinely think I I genuinely think it’s eyes eyesight related I honestly don’t think he can see these plays the critical ones And so you get this like, “Oh, look, Al butchered the call.” And it’s like, “Yeah, because he can’t see what’s happening.” Apparently Sean McVey on the fourth down call says it was a bad call. It was a bad call by me. So he didn’t like the call. Not not I don’t think going for it, but the play call. Yeah, the play call. Running it right up the gut. Um, I see people criticizing Kirk, too. I’ll just tactfully in defense of Kirk Herbstreet. Um, also making a lot of money, he’s opted into this role. He’s in a very challenging spot. too thin. He is, of course, he’s spread too thin. I mean, the difficulty in covering college football in the NFL. People don’t realize how like we’re five weeks into the NFL season, six weeks into the college football season. Once you start once you miss like a game or two of a team, it’s like you’re behind. You’re immediately behind. It’s easy in the offseason, right? You just study all the storylines and but once the season starts, it’s very tough to keep up. and he is a college football expert and he is dragged to do all the college football stuff. Like that’s that’s his job. And then every Thursday it’s like he stops in and catches a couple NFL teams that and he I know he does a lot of prep. I know. But you don’t have it’s it’s hard to have full mastery, right? Like if I had to I could do a Monday morning NFL show. If I had to do a Monday morning college football show right now, it’d be challenging, right? because I watch it more in passing, you know, because I’m not trying to do it like as the expert. It’s almost impossible to do both. So, it’s almost like, well, Amazon asked for this and Kirk opted in, but you’re you’re immediately going to get I mean, Greg, everybody Greg Olsen’s great. Like, if if you ask Greg Olsen to just, you know, drop in on a Saturday and do a college football game and and just do your normal once a week NFL game, it’d be really difficult for him to master both. So, that’s where I’m at with it. He’s definitely stretched thin. I don’t think that that’s at the root of my I my issue with Herb Street as an announcer is I feel like he’s incredibly bland. Like Kirk Herbstreet could be replaced with the Madden simulation announcer without any hitch in the in the program whatsoever. Like you could you could replace him with AI today and not notice that it was a change. I’ve always thought, excuse me, I’ve always thought Kirk was at his best, and I think Chris does this well, is they they get the immediate replay. They get it a little bit before we see it on TV and then describe what happened. And I I don’t feel like we’re getting that. Like, here’s this 10 yard run, here’s the key block because you got to see it quickly and then call it out. And I thought Kirk was always good at that. And you just don’t see as much of that from him. And that’s more that’s less of a preparation thing and that’s more of like an in-game can you can you keep up with the action thing. Yeah. I mean you know the way Madden now like the the announcers and the kind of reads for those things. They’re like full sentences, right? It used to be like stitch together words and it was all janky and now it’s like you know a full sort of clichΓ©ed sentence that they’ve got prepared that they just pop in for all these random situations, right? That kind of feels like Herb Street to me. just like here’s another pre- canned sentence that I’ve I’ve you know I’m I’m ready to roll into this time. I you’ve heard it all before. It’s just rinse and repeat. It’s like it’s literally generic AI broadcasts and I don’t know I I just don’t he’s fine but he’s he’s not like he’s literally slapbang middle of the road AI generated announcer. I see some love for Rich Ganon. Friend of the show Rich Ganon in the chat. Had dinner with him this off season. got to talk ball with Rich. He’s uh he’s been a good been good to us the few times we’ve interacted and hung out and you know good guy. So, um happy for Rich to continue to do more as the opportunities present present themselves. But yeah, unique game, fun Thursday night game and uh impressive by the 49ers as more than a touchdown underdogs to get the win here and uh sole possession of first place in the NFC West right now, dude. I mean, sort of big picture terms, like the the ability of the 49ers to win all these games when everybody is hurt and okay, Nick Bos is not coming back, but everybody else is at some point. So, like theoretically sometime later on this season, this team is going to be a hell of a lot more healthy than they are right now. and they’re already positioning themselves like, you know, amongst the elite in the conference. If they do get healthy and they’ve been able to build that that lead or maintain that lead or even just keep their position amongst the contenders so that once they hit January and suddenly they’re firing in all cylinders. I mean, look, maybe it won’t pan out this way, but like look out for this 49ers team later in the season if they if they kind of keep this stockpile of wins while they’ve been this banged up. And I know they had six only six wins last year, but that was million injuries again, kicking issues, some late game losses. We were sitting here mid-season being like, “Don’t sleep on the Niners. They’re not done yet. They’re not done.” We were wrong. They were eventually done. But it was because at the time they were the team that if they only had six losses or five or five wins at the time, they easily could have had nine, right? So, um, just want to wrap it up by by maintaining our integrity here. I I am generally have been of the opinion that Chris Collinsworth is the second best color guy in the business after Greg Olsen, who’s by far and away the number one guy. I will say I think Chris is starting to lose his fastball. You know, he used to be phenomenal and now he’s a lot more chuckling. You know, it’s just a lot more yuck yuck and noisy. a lot more chuckles and and giggles than than before. So, I would say maybe now I might go Troy Aman number two. Troy’s more You used to never like Troy, right? I didn’t because Troy used to be like Kirk Herbstreet at the moment. He used to be just fairly benign, fairly nothing, fairly AI generated and then somewhere along the way, maybe it was when ESPN handed him like an absolute boatload of money, he just went, “You know what? Screw it. I’m just going to say what I think. I don’t care if it pisses people off.” And since he went complete, you know, DG AF, that’s good. Troy being like, I I don’t like this. I don’t like these people. I’m just going to rip them. That’s That’s good. TV. By the way, none of this is personal. This is all just it’s your own what what you like. Who’s your cup of tea when you’re listening to a game? Nothing personal, of course. U because we know like, you know, we had other friends who always got trashed as uh color commentators through the years. And you know, it happens. It’s a tough job because like no one likes anybody. Greg Olsson’s the only one who gets any love and it might only be in our little circles. I’m sure there’s people that hate him too, right? He doesn’t say nice things about their team. Anyway, it’s one of these like it’s one of these situations where I think I I don’t feel bad about trashing any of them because they’re all getting paid. Like the A team people are all getting paid. Yeah, they’re all making money for this. They’re all making They’re all making plenty of money. They’re fine. Who cares? Just go get them. I mean, we could have Kirk on the show in a couple weeks. Thursday Night Football’s coming to town. Should we get uh Fitzpatrick and Whit reminded you today, get them on the show. They’ll be in town. Get them by the studio. We’ll do a little uh crossover. If they’ll do it, we’re there. Um anyway, let us know. Who else do you want to see on the show? Right by the stadium. They’ll be local. That’s what I mean. We could all We could all walk over to the stadium after. We could walk them in and then say bye because we can’t get in. We’ll walk them through the neighborhood back to the stadium and then see. I mean, they’re they’re both former Bengals, right? They’ve got to be our way in. Oh, that’s true. They could they could talk to PJ for us. I hope only you get in as a member of the Associated Press voting team and I’ll I’ll I’ll be at home. All right, that’s the longest Thursday night instant reaction we’ve had because why not? We got fun ton of fun stuff to talk about. So, appreciate everybody for tuning in. If you missed the preview episode, go check it out. Don’t listen to the 49ers Rams part. Go listen to the other parts. And uh we’ll be here right after the four o’clock games on Sunday and of course Monday morning, 7 am. Check the mic. Appreciate everybody.

  1. Sam is such a sore loser. His smug face is annoying and his voice is like your ex girlfriend bitching about hair in the shower drain

  2. Rams should be 5-0 (or at least 4-1 if you apply the same logic to the Colts). Why are they giving away these games? Another 10-7 season isn't going to cut it, especially if they are a wildcard team.

  3. I honestly rather see Mac Jones start for the foreseeable future until he shows signs of a downgrade. Lately he seems to be moving this offense smoother than Purdy. I believe If Jones started the Jacksonville game we are possibly 4-0..

  4. Mathew Stafford has never beat the niners at home as a ram. He had more turnovers than touchdowns against the niners up until last night and they were 3-1 to do something they had NEVER DONE…..I made 510$ of of 50$…..nice try trying to give the credit to the refs…..you didn't do your research on this matchup or you would have bet the niners like I did. That game was a pick em to me so I played the 3-1 dog

  5. I am a Rams fan, but kudos to the Niners.
    They are extremely well coached, both offensively and defensively, and Kyle Shanahan is the perfect coach to go up against the Rams defensive front understanding to neutralize them is to get the ball out quickly.
    Over the last 2 1/2 games the Rams are leaving a blueprint if you can neutralize that front, you can attack their porous corners who can’t cover and definitely can’t tackle.
    Many experts call the Rams Super Bowl contender I disagree
    Their offensive line is average at best when healthy and their back seven on defense cannot play pass coverage.
    They are a borderline playoff team and because they play in such a tough division, losing divisional games will keep them out of the playoffs

  6. Calls went both ways. If the Rams would've messed up doing something tricky that last play ya'll would be mad they didn't just run it up the middle. The Rams had every chance to win that game and just couldn't get it done. They beat themselves.

  7. Rams fan. Kudos to Shanahan for having his team ready & focused. McVay clearly didn't. Sloppiest game of his tenure as HC. Full credit to SF for playing well, but there were a lot of unforced errors; drops, MAs,etc..

    Wasn't just players, either. Reeder on CMC in the RZ ?! T-Ferg struggling to earn reps while Allen & Higbee drop key passes ? The asinine challenges ?

    I'm also sicK & tired of the unearned & foolish swagger that could cost them dearly if it continues; Kyren high-stepping before crossing the goal line. Nacua repeatedly spinning the ball at the feet of Niner defenders.
