FEATURED Conference Championship Game Thread

[jwitten82]

Is Purdy still in line for a long term $55M/year extension?
Or are the 49ers back to the drawing board looking for a QB?

I don't see how they pay him. He's a product of that system

 

[Ozone22]

SF will be looking for another QB sooner than later.

They got rid of two.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

How's that GM John Lynch looking so far in this game?
Lock him up long term?
Fire him?

 

[SlammedZero]

I wonder if Shanahan will be on the hot seat of they lose this game

Yeah, that's a tough one. He has the Niners always in the mix, but he can't seem to win the big games (assuming Lions continue to run away with this).

Not a good day for me so far, I picked Bal and SF to win today to meet in the Superbowl, but that's not the worst part of the day.....I'm one half of Football away from having to pay off a $1000 bet from 25 years ago that I agreed to in that the Cowboys would get back to a Superbowl before the Detroit Lions EVER do!!!

Nah, he'll still get the money. The agent will want to accelerate the deal, the Niners might want to see more.

Dang the last Part is just crazy

 

[Pipelayer72]

Plus an attitude of playing hard, poised, and smart - despite this being the first championship game for the vast majority of Detroit players.

Excellent points. The attitude, the drive, the edge. Eye of the Tiger. Well, eye of the Lion today.

This game is a bigger indictment on where we are at looking at Detroit play the 49ers

 

[rockj7]

Shanahan getting outcoached. Remember, Shanahan was calling plays in the SB for Atlanta when they blew a 28-3 lead to you know who, Belichick

All due respect but you don't need to say you know who if your going to say the name of the person

 

[Blackspider214]

'Frisco was very lucky to get past Green Bay last week.

Green Bay with Love would have played a much better game than this. Love is already a much better QB than Purdy

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Watching teams like the Chiefs and Lions makes it seem like the Cowboys are so far behind the power curve. And to some degree that's a reality. The little things and attention to detail are so important.

yep....that's why i been saying they need a rebuild because they need across the board talent on OL, DL, LB, QB and RB....doling out big contracts to players now will only limit them and prolong this misery.

 

[HungryLion]

I wish we had Goff

That too. He knows how to play in big games.

 

[Pipelayer72]

Wow. I never thought you could lose a bet like that. Yikes. Double or nothing?

yeah but you had the money all these years & you've used it to earn much more!!

no way to know back then.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

If Purdy doesn't turn it around, he may have just lost $200M+.
His agent must be sweating BBs now.

True, but they may have higher standard than just championship game appearances

Every team does but they've actually gotten to the big game a time or two there. At least they aren't losing games 99% of the pundits thought they'd win. Last year was bad luck with Purdy getting injured. Those things buy you time.

I wouldn't do that. We're in for some dark times around here.
