Keyword: slate.
Yep, time to lock in on late winter/ Spring plans. Skiing/ turkey hunting/ fishing.

Ok. Here's reality. NFC Championship 4 out of 5 seasons. 2 losses. Superbowl 2 out of 4 years. 2 losses. No SB in 29 years. When do questions start being asked? mtmuley

Ok as you are strutting around do your teams numbers for the last 30 years.
Look at the rest of the league. The team we didn't beat in overtime, in the Superbowl, is the one people are calling a dynasty. With possibly the greatest player ever.
Maybe the 49ers are in a great place. Contenders year in year out.

What To Do About An Aggressive Rooster

If you have a rooster in your chicken flock, you'll know they can be aggressive. And while it’s nothing personal, it can sometimes be annoying. Here are ways to deal with this aggressiveness—plus, learn more about regal roosters (like why do they crow?).

Step one- Don’t Retreat
I know it’s scary to deal with a rooster while it’s in attack mode. However, you should never ever back away or show fear when your rooster becomes aggressive. Any fear or weakness shown on your part will increase the rooster’s aggressiveness and worsen the attack. Remember, you’re the boss, and it’s up to you to show your rooster that.

Are we talking about Marino's Almost Champions commercial?

Dan Marino offers a reminder that returning to the Super Bowl is not a guarantee

Dan Marino knows how precious a Super Bowl appearance can be.

.
And I'm positive any top 10 QB is going to react much as Purdy did when a all pro DL is running at him scot free.

Jones was an absolute stud especially once Feliciano got hurt.

I needed a good ugly cry.
Thank you!

 

[LukeDuke]

Yeah probably so 30 years and no chip. Is what it is. I still think we got a pretty good football team.

Defense was flying around really well. Damn shame to lose Greenlaw. Fun team to watch for sure.

Thank you!

That would definitely give you "shrinkflation"!

This is the kinda stuff heartbreak is made out of.

NFL and CBS execs planning SB coverage: “Let’s show Taylor ten times, no A HUNDRED TIMES!”

I could not bring myself to watch the game b/c unlike MtMuley, I feel like my head is going to explode w/ the endless Taylor reaction shots.

Finally at halftime I drug myself to the TV… I watched cartoons with my kids for a half hour before finally clicking over to the game for 2nd half kickoff. I was holding out hope 49’ers would somehow not disappoint…

“It’s just a game.” I can’t do this to myself any longer - no more watching chiefs games until these two break up.

I like to gripe and joke about it, but if not her it will be somebody else I don’t care about. They have been flashing to celebs for 40+ years - why does this one grate on you so much that you would stop watching? Lots of good reasons to stop watching, but this one seems iffy.

 

[VikingsGuy]

Purdy I thought handled it damn well. I'm happy to call that kid our QB

He is too inconsistent in throws more than 10yds beyond line of scrimmage and struggles too much with “second wave” rushers to be elite. 15 QBs can do what he does - and at $1M a year he can lead really good teams. But when he is $40+M and 9ers have to make roster cuts to pay for that, he won’t sniff a Super Bowl.

 

[VikingsGuy]

I thought he played ok- slightly above average, which is probably what he is right now.

He didn’t make too many big mistakes, but had trouble after the first read as per usual. He does what they ask him to do very well, but will that be enough? Tough to say (and he is really young). The 49ers will reveal what they think of him by rewarding him with a big contract or not here soon enough.

Let’s be real though- if you switched the two QBs last night, that probably turns a three score game.

Too your point, not a single member of the Chiefs offense last night would start on the 9ers except for Mahomes. Although there would be some good Kittle/Kelce debate. The 9ers roster is just better than Chiefs, but Mahomes doesn’t blink.

It is a tell of sorts about a person's political views. It is amplified with a generational and gender gap.

 

[VikingsGuy]

Sorry to offend- didn’t think a fairly benign (and fairly obvious, imo) observation would set anyone off. Wasn’t my intention.

You got to see his brilliance in person, so I will default to your expertise on this one

Hopefully he has sobered up today or he really won’t like my take.
