Brock Purdy and Kristin juszczyk stealing the spotlight from pat mahomes and Taylor swift would be so poetic

Raider fan rooting for the Niners bc my Chiefs hate has gone up exponentially 😂 but damn if the Chiefs don’t look like the 2019 Warriors who slept walked their way thru the regular season and then flipped a switch. They just got that aura of inevitability.
However I don’t think the Niners will bc immature and undisciplined like the Ravens who just shot themselves in the foot over and over. Should be a hell of a Super Bowl.

I liked the point guard who learns how not to get his shot blocked, perfect. First timer Lions ran into that OK now we don't screw up and we're in the Super Bowl mindset. It's harder to close out wins against good teams than it is to get ahead in the first place. "Pressure busts pipes" I'm still wondering why Chase just hasn't been better. Thanks for this Alch!

They have vulnerabilities that can be exploited. Can’t be distracted by their confidence.

I almost cant even enjoy this victory as much as I want to because this whole season has been SB or bust for me.
Basically for anyone but Purdy, this is the final year we for sure have this core together. Nothing is taken for granted and we HAVE to get it done this year because injuries, salary issues, and regression is bound to happen.
So Im gonna go right into my doomer honesty: the Chiefs are a TERRIFYING matchup for us in every single way for our defense.
I know some people want to give credit to Wilks for halftime adjustments, but honestly I dont buy it. The Lions just kept fucking up at the wrong time and we thankfully took advantage.
But even allowing that TD on the final drive for Detroit pissed me off. Wilks is BAD. Like BAD BAD.
And I promise you, if he comes out with the same defensive scheme against Mahomes, we're gonna be cooked by the end of the first quarter. The Lions were young and experienced. They couldnt handle the pressure.
Mahomes and Reid are looking at us like BBQ chicken right now.
I honestly dont even know what the gameplan should be. Double Kelce and pray to win the rest of the 1v1 matchups? We cant stop the run. Its that simple. Detroit flat out abandoned the run in the second half. KC play action will be our downfall.
I NEED to see change in our defense in the 1st quarter of the superbowl because Mahomes and Co will NOT relinquish a double digit lead, I can promise you that.
I think our offense can score against the Chiefs. Maybe not 30+ pts, but I think we can put up at least 24. That being said, the last thing you wanna do is get into a shootout with them.
Bottom line: The ONLY way the 49ers win this SB is if they make plays on defense. 1) Get off the field on 3rd down. 2) Get to Mahomes. 3) Force TOs. 4) Disrupt their run game. 5) Get Mahomes out of rhythm. If they cant do 3 out of those 5 things, it wont matter what our offense does. Our defense is not good and is giving me basically zero confidence in stopping them.

They didn't show the DB impeding Aiyuk hardly at all on TV. You can see the flag get thrown, but then they picked it up.
Is NFL reffing gonna be like NBA reffing, where they decide AFTER they see the result of the play bc otherwise there is a penalty on every play and it's no fun to watch?

Bang bang niner gang. I bet everyone sang their lungs out the stadium when they hit don't stop believing. Yee!

My god what a game. I’m up in Denver for a trip and hit up this local niner bar and it was POPPIN OFF as we crawled back in. They’ve got some serious fans up here!!
Unreal. I’ll take this ugly run up to the SB. And I’m excited for the re match.
Man. Glad for two weeks to decompress before showtime haha

IMO if you're gonna be Dan Campbell aggressive, you have to do it the whole game. Kicking that FG when they were on our goal line in the 1st half was the moment he went away from his philosophy. I would've said he goes for it there cause even if you miss, we're backed up in our end zone with our offense sputtering.

just like Kerr not wanting to spam some high PnR for Steph in the regular season. Saving it doesn't matter if you don't make the playoffs/get behind too much

I liked the Russel Wilson comparison, that's what came to mind this game as well.
Really nice to be on the right side of a squirly bastard who's impossible to bring down and pulls plays out of his ass.

Saw so many talking heads and content creators crucifying Purdy for overthrowing Aiyuk when it's so obvious the DB impedes him with the ball in the air.
Are those people blind? It's one thing to miss it live, but they have plenty of time to watch the tape and revise their wrong takes.
On the flip side, guys like Lombardi need to quit constantly comparing him to Montana/Young #2. Why can't he just be Purdy which is a really really good young QB?

so many emotions watching live! I think we've shown enough resiliency to prove we can win it all, but the thing the chiefs have done well this postseason is be consistent. Not amazing each quarter, but they go about their business and do what is necessary which is scary considering these last two games we've played.

If Eli Manning can beat Tom Brady twice, Brock Purdy can beat Patrick Mahomes even if it's just this once. Any given Sunday like you said!

Win or lose, I'm a Purdy fan. He had some bad throws in the first half and he didn't let that get to him the last two games. You need nerves or steel to stay unfazed like that playing with millions of eyes on you and a franchise's expectations.

And as for Dan on 4ths, I’m completely biased since he’s my cousin but man I think you gotta do what took you to the prom. If you go away from what got you there you end up like the ravens. The only decision I didn’t like was that 3rd down run but I think the blame should be on their receivers dropping perfect dimes from Goff and giving us the momentum

Damn that was a roller coaster of a game. When they jumped out to 2 scores and so easily i was worried our defense wasnt going to hold up. Cant wait for the SB and its going to be a long 2 weeks but that helps Deebo and the boys get healthy for an all out game. Their defense is LEGIT but damn that offense isnt gonna put up a ton of points....

Facts! It seems like he never wants to show his hand early.. so he has an adjustment. But sometimes that’s too late. It puts us behind the 8ball too much

still in disbelief that we won. Chiefs are gonna be a whole different animal with the circus that comes along with their team. just have to stick with the run unlike the Ravens!

That game was something else. I’m still not sold on Wilkes this d sometimes looks like 3rd stringers out there. Hopefully some scrub team steals him 😂
