We had San Francisco up against the ropes

[J12B]

NFL Network is airing the 2022 Confernce game right now.

Man we had them until Pollard got injured. Dirty tackle also. Can't believe a bigger deal wasn't made out of that by the league.

Defense held that SF offense to 6 points up until that point. SF was rolling through everyone before that game.

We had them.......

Did the same tackle to Ceedee later in the game but he walked away.

Dirty team imo.

I believe Turpin almost broke one open, but cut the wrong way and Diggs dropped an int that hit his chest.

The miracle play by Kittle, the dropped int by Diggs, and the two back to back defensive penalties were huge as well.

Kettle also made a key catch while lined up inelligible (the Diggs business decision play) where nobody covered him.

There did seem to be lot of dirty play that game.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

So we’re soft and unlucky.

What about our “franchise player” crapping the bed?

Had them the year before also till # 4 failed once again to lead our offense to victory.
The same will occur again this coming season when we meet a real defense in the playoffs.
Nothing new here.......
P.S. What does the defense have to do hold teams to 0 points so we win 9-0 with 3 field goals????

He wasn't the only bed crapper that day.

Odds this turns into a Dak thread: OFF

"We let them off the hook"

 

[noshame]

Yeah, let's blame the defense
AGAIN.

I was really disappointed in Zeke after Pollard went down. Here was a prime opportunity for him to redeem himself. Great players play big in big games and he gave us 16 yards on 6 carries in the 2nd half of that game.

Zeke's largest gain in that game was 5 yards.

In two playoff games against the 49ers, Zeke gave us 22 carries for 57 yards along with 3 receptions for 7 yards. Total!

That is not playing big.

It was a different time but just as a comparison, in his first two playoff games against the 49ers Emmitt gave us 47 carries for 202 yards and 2 TD's along with 14 receptions for 144 yards and 2 TD's.

That is playing big.

 

[acr731]

What happened?

Dak happened.

That is playing big.

Comparing Zeke and Emmitt is a bit like comparing a muscle car to a Toyota Priius.

I know the Eagles are a division rival but I want to play the 49ers so bad next season. I hope we open the season against them. It’s amazing how dirty they play and the national media says so little of it. They have had the most talented team in the league the last 4 years and has won nothing.

 

[Vegas_Cowboy]

Zeke certainly didn't put the team on his shoulders after Pollard went down. That's for sure.

 

[T-RO]

I wasn't surprised even a little.

Zeke lost the capability to perform high level things several years ago. He's stiff and he's lost two steps.

I know I keep mentioning the Jimmie Ward quote from the 49ers defeat from over a year ago, but, it needs repeating.
Pollard's injury=Zeke up = 49 no respect for our running game= sit back in coverage and .........

“We went in there and did what we needed to do: Stop the run and force them to be one-dimensional. See if Prescott could win the game for them,” - Jimmie Ward (January 2022)

Problems WILL happen in playoffs when you play the best teams, it means certain team leaders (as the QB touches the ball each snap that includes him) HAVE TO step up.

I am prepared to give Dak a chance (KM may well have been a contributory factor), but if he cant STEP UP in 2024, it's about time that we conceded that its highly unlikely that he will improve.....spend the draft capital on the good QB Class and improve the protection/weapons for the rookie out of the CAP saving.

Yeah, but yet you left him off your list.
