Niners giving you Deja vu about the Giants?

Also the defensive lines. They spent their resources there and it shows.

As I watched that game last night, close to the rapture at seeing Aarongant Rodgers and his hang dog look, I thought of the Giants when they beat the Cowboys to go on and win their SB and give the Patriots their first loss.

The Cowboys that year had the better talent but not the better ability to play as a team and that's what the Niners put on display against the Rams, Cowboys and now the Packers.

I hope the coaching staff takes a long hard look at that coaching staff and how they stick with it and show incredible patience while probably having the least rated QB, and all around nice guy, in the playoffs. They stick with their plan.

I hope the players look at that and know why they lost that game and why Green Bay lost that game. Because the Niners are a team, they personify team and all of their concentration and focus is on the team when they play. They are of a single purpose.

That was what beat the Cowboys in both of those games, a better team. Not better talent, better teams.

When the Packers went through the Niners defense like a hot knife through butter, did you catch yourself thinking "how would the Cowboys respond to that'? Me too.

In this age of the highly praised and highly paid QB and all about the stars in the game, it is refreshing and reassuring a team can still win games they are picked to lose. They have been a pleasure to watch in these last three games and have got the owners scratching their heads a little bit. They didn't know a team could still do that.

That was a real throwback last night and I enjoyed something I haven't seen in a while, every play mattered. There was drama on every play as the most dangerous QB in the game proved it is still all about the team.

I hope our team takes a look at that team and sees the difference between them as a team and the Niners as a team. Because that's why they lost that game. They lost to a better team.

Disagree. They were horrific beginning of the season (2-5). They got hot at the right time. They didn't even make the playoffs last year.

As much as I hate the Niners that’s how every team should be built. It should be the standard. Very few teams can rely on their QB to put a team on their shoulders and win. I think it’s pretty clear what the best formula is for this team. No shame in copying a rival’s blueprint.

Right. And when our running game is dominant our offense and QB is not only more effective but it mask our weaknesses on defense.

Revamping our OL and bringing in more RB should be our focus in offseason while bulking up middle of defense with DT and S.

Seems like Jerry would look at the Rams and 49er games and see why we lost. Couldn't stop the run , couldn't run the football. This team is weak up the middle on both lines. But it didn't help playing the wrong RB and getting pass happy against the 49ers.

That’s is how it’s shaping up. Still have to knock out the GOAT. No easy task but they can do it.

But they counter that with the team. They do not ask him to win games, just don't lose them.

The credit needs to go the Niner organization. Remember the championship game in 2019 when Jimmy G barely even threw a pass?

The 49ers, aside from Jimmy G, are built the right way. Fairness to Shanahan, they clearly thought Jimmy G was more than he is and did try to draft his replacement in Trey Lance.

If there’s one advantage SF has versus Tampa it’s definitely the running game. If the Rams don’t beat Tampa then SF will need to run the ball for close to 200 or more to keep the ball out of Brady’s hands. No way they hold him to 10 points in the crisp Tampa weather.

Even in today’s “modern NFL” with all the glitzy high powered offenses, winning in the playoffs is usually done by the teams that have the best fundamentals of football: blocking, tackling and toughness.

The teams that have those elements wrapped in a “team” concept instead of a bunch of stars are winning championships. The Cowboys lost to a better team that was better coached and put together by a GM who knows exactly what he’s trying to do, hired by an owner who wants to win bad enough to hire football people to ensure it happens.

There is absolutely no mystery why our Cowboys repeat the same mistakes year after year after year. If the guy running the whole thing can’t admit he’s the problem, the right changes can’t happen. Doesn’t matter who you hire to coach this thing or even play QB. If the rot at the top doesn’t make changes, this is just the Titanic with a fresh coat of paint.
