Seajerks vs. Lambs = choke. They weren't coming off the toughest 3 game stretch in modern NFL history.GRRAAH said:

See ya in 2 weeks which will be the only game that matters.
The 9er defense looked exactly like our Bears D this season - being TAKEN for a ride! They couldn't stop a pass when their lives depended on it.
PS How'd the Rams do?

Oh, those darn 'Niners. Looking like the Faders.

Every team has let down games. Niners just had their first. Let's see how they recover.
Seahawks got smoked by Baltimore and don't look like they stand a chance if they were to play again. Everyone wants to see a niners ravens super bowl but let's see which teams want it the most.

And lose at home to the Falcons? Pretenders. Can't win close games.

Don't think the 49ers choked.
They got beaten.
If Kittle doesn't have a rare fumble on 49ers last possession, he gets the first down and 49ers run out the clock.
I think his leg kicked it loose.
One of those things.
49ers pass D was banged up pretty bad.
Anyway, I think the 49ers played hard and just got beat.
It was a game determined by a few inches and a few seconds.
#1 choke team in America over the last few years is the Chokeland Raiders, soon to be the Lost Vegan Traitors.

Most top teams will have at least one clunker a season. The Niners have had several but managed to win them, until today. They are still in the playoffs and need to win the last two games. Going from a terrible season to a Super Bowl season in one year. When has that happened? Oh yeah, 1981 for the 49ers. Unlike this year that team had no significant injuries. I would take this year's team for overall talent, though, except for Montana.
Saying "except for Montana" is like saying, "except for that, Mrs. Lincoln, did you enjoy the play?"Larno said:

This year's team does have much more depth than that '81 squad. It's amazing how this youngBearSD said:Saying "except for Montana" is like saying, "except for that, Mrs. Lincoln, did you enjoy the play?"Larno said:

team has built some depth in their lightning quick rise to the top. That '81 squad was young and
good, but thin. If they had had several key injuries like this year's team, they wouldn't have been so
successful.
The Niners have a ways to go before they match the greatest choke job in the history of football--GRRAAH said:

Seahawks throwing an INT on the one yard line to LOSE a Super Bowl. If my team had that on
their resume, I'd keep my mouth shut regarding "choking." Hahahahaha

In my experience GRRAAH will look for any opportunity to talk smack about the 49ers and be conspicuously silent when he can't. He seems to enjoy this even more than rooting for the Seahawks (his purported favorite team).
The argument that the Niners can't win close games seems especially silly given what they did in New Orleans, just last week. The Niners have a pretty typical record in close games, around .500. Seattle has an unusually great one, which usually means a team is getting lucky.

I know GRRAAH well as he's a personal friend and this is completely true. Also, he's a lifelong Doyers fan and he mad. Mad as hell.
I don't hate them but I can't root for Santa Clara. They should've found a way to make it work in SF.
That was the key play. No doubt Kittle would have bulldozed his way to a first down if he hadn't lost the ball and had to fall on it. The 49ers would have been able to run it out, or at least down to about 30 seconds before kicking (and burning all the Falcons' time outs).heartofthebear said:

I also have to say the pass-interference call that set up the Falcons' touchdown previous to that was bulls***. Looked like two guys going for a jump-ball and no one got grabbed.
But whatever, these things happen. Before the season started I would have been happy for the Niners to make the playoffs, and that's now clinched. Raised expectations!
Thought the Niners were ubeatable at home.
Was the most overrated 8-0 team in history. They can beat anybody...and lose to just about anybody. Welcome to the modern era of the NFL.

When everyone is healthy, the Niners are the best team in the NFL this season. Unfortunately, right now they're far from healthy, with half of the defensive starters injured. That really hurt them on Sunday.
Hard to argue against the Ravens as the best team in football. They have the best QB and have been playing lights out for the last 11 games.Golden One said:

The niners are in the conversation but injuries impact everyone. The Falcons are a hot and cold team but they shouldn't have let Atlanta get that close.
If the niners can run the table and win a few games in the postseason, that's a pretty successful year. Unfortunately, the way the NFL works now with free agency and the salary cap, I fear that they have a 2-year window to win a title before the free agency losses will add up. Having a high paid QB makes it incredibly hard to sign free agents and retain the good young players you have.

Who was overrating them? Seems like most of the national media was skeptical of them through that stretch, then more of them got on board after they beat the Packers and Saints (and took a close road loss to the Ravens).

Saying the 49ers are over-rated at all is a very questionable comment.
Claiming they are the most over-rated in history is downright reckless and obtuse.
Also, it is hard to claim that the 49ers were unbeatable at home when their first loss was at home to Seattle.
Put all this together and it could be said that the poster is the most ignorant poster in BI history!
Clearly the comment was from a fan of another team (ie Seattle).
I will admit that Seattle is one of the most under-discussed super bowl contenders of the year, which is strange for a team currently seeded #2 in the NFC.
The percent chance that Kittle fumbles there is about 1%. So, in that sense Atlanta got lucky. But also the Falcons earned the win by playing sound football.sycasey said:That was the key play.

I don't know if GBear is a Seattle fan, but he does consistently have terrible takes.
The thing about Seattle is that they win every game by the skin of their teeth, and people expect a true contender to hand out a few blowouts here and there. I think that's why it's hard for people to take them seriously.
Big Rams fan here. The Niners are the best team in their division. They will be playing in the Super bowl.
I predict the team that wears red and that is closely associated with Stanford will make it to the divisional round at least.

Really? You're a Seahawks fan and you're talking about choking on the last play of the game? I seem to recall a Super Bowl a few years ago. Remember that one? Marshawn does.

Agree that the Ravens are very good, and that Lamar Jackson is just unbelieveable. He is clearly the key to their success. If both teams were completely healthy, I believe that the Niners and the Ravens would face off in the Super Bowl.Unit2Sucks said:Hard to argue against the Ravens as the best team in football.

A team that goes from 4-12 to 11-3 cannot accurately be described as a "choking" team no matter how they lost their 3 games. You would have to look at the entire 14 games. And, like I said, they won 11 of them, and at least 3 were won in the closing minutes.
I believe the Niners are 3-3 in games decided by a touchdown or less.heartofthebear said:

L: Seattle, @Baltimore, Atlanta
I think you can also classify their second Arizona win as essentially a one-score win, as they got a fluke TD by recovering the Cardinals' attempted lateral on the last play. So that's 4-3. That's pretty normal. A football team should expect to go roughly .500 in close games. Meanwhile, they are 7-0 in games won by two scores or more.
The Seahawks, meanwhile, are a whopping 10-1 or 9-1 in one-score games (depending on how you classify an 8-point win over Philly). That's very strange. They are 1-2 in all other games, with their only "easy" win being 27-10 at Arizona. I guess you could say they just have a knack for winning close games, and I'm sure it is an asset to have Russell Wilson in those situations. It's also possible they have just been very lucky this year and are really more like a .500 team.
EDIT: I should also add that Seattle's one close-game loss to New Orleans was really a dominant Saints win in which the Seahawks scored a garbage TD with no time left to make the score look close. So I'm going to say they are 9-0 in close games and 2-3 in other games.
In the last 15 years, only 3 World Series Champs have finished 9th or worse in run differential in the regular season. I'm guessing you think they were very lucky.sycasey said:I believe the Niners are 3-3 in games decided by a touchdown or less.heartofthebear said:

And I'm sure one or more of the Giants teams are on that list.
Which just makes me appreciate their championships that much more. None of those were the best team in their league and especially not 2014. But baseball and hockey are much more quirky in a short series than basketball or even football in a single game.sycasey said:Honestly? Yeah, a little bit.

I feel very fortunate as a fan that one of those teams won a World Series. 3 World Series means that I probably will have to give up seeing Cal in the Rose Bowl as penance.
I would have said that, but then after those World Series wins the Golden State Warriors (long the biggest joke in Bay Area sports) also managed to win three titles.Joker said:

If that can happen, anything is possible.
