FEATURED Conference Championship Game Thread

It’s not so much SF won but feels like Detroit lost the game through Reynolds and Campbell. They should have won by 17.

We’re still light years away from SF. No doubt this team would have folded down 3 scores.

49ers did not look that good
Chiefs by 10

Niners been getting lucky last couple games, it will run out against KC!

And they try it again….

And they failed again.

Another huge take away. Sometimes in big games, EVERYTHING seemingly will go against you. It's just the way the sport works. The 9'ers hung in there and got some breaks. I was so disappointed in our inability to show some resolve and bounce back vs GB.

Patrick will get his 3rd SB win and Steve will frustrate Purdy with pressure

The Cowboys did it. They came up short for years to even get to the Championship game. After losing to the Browns and later the Packers twice and finally getting to the big game, they lost to the Colts in the Blunder Bowl. Came back the very next year and won. If you look at the first years of the SB, there was actually a decent series of teams losing one year and winning the next. Even the Colts lost to the Jets the year before beating us. We came back and beat Miami. The next year Miami won, and so on.

Teams kept all their players in those days. No cap and the players were essentially indentured servants for life. So you could count on learning and growing patiently

And the biggest coaching choke job ever. Parcells and later Belichick famously said the key to comebacks is just let the other team do stupid things and choke and play defense.

Can we talk about how Josh Reynolds wins the Patrick Clayton award today?

It's stunning how well the Lions executed in the first half compared to the second. Especially with the run game and defense excelling. Just stick to your game plan, control the clock, and limit the 49ers possessions. I feel for Lions fans. This one really hurts.

All they had to do was kick that 1st field goal.

 

[rambo2]

49ers are going to the SB.....
Cowboys are having fun in the sun in Cabo....

49ers haven't won a Super Bowl in 29 years.

Just kicking Fgs probably wins them the game.

Gibbs fumble huge as well.

 

[DallasBlockersClub]

Brutal loss for the Lions. Dan Campbell coached the entire second half like he was going for two again from the 11.

 

[Motorola]

Go to Ravens and Lions fansites for their takes on how their teams performed.
Two in particular - both under SBNATION -
'Baltimore Beatdown' and 'Pride of Detroit''.

 

[Doomsday]

Jared Goff wilted under pressure in the 2nd half. You could see he was rattled and his accuracy disappeared.

Campbell doesn't know how to manage a game, aggression is great but you have to know when to take the points

Lamar Jackson is what I thought he was a product of a great running game and good defense, he isn't winning big games with his arm

 

[Bullet22]

Alot of dropped passes
