That's definitely a take.I think the 49ers are one step ahead of the game: surround your QB with great coaches, OL, defense and don't pay them. 50M extra for a supporting cast. Won't be surprised if Purdy doesn't get paid.
Yes, he's not good, right?Nobody take St. Brown on D, OK?
Shanahan should not have him kick there. 58 yards is no joke, this guy is firmly on the strugglebus, and you’re playing Detroit. Just go for it.Moody will be looking for a different career after this season. Feel bad for the guy but he can't kick.
It proves to the front office this guy can’t be the answer next year. Everyone else on the team is playing for a roster spot. Detroit’s guy just made it from like 57 with ease, they’re professionals basically in a scrimmage.Shanahan should not have him kick there. 58 yards is no joke, this guy is firmly on the strugglebus, and you’re playing Detroit.

Agreed. It’s not close IMO.Buck/Aikman is the best broadcast team the NFL has. They’re just so comfortable.
First pick was a misfire, this one he got pickpocketed by the robberPurdy having a rough second half
They missed the SF receiver shoving his hands in the defender's face, which is what caused the push.Weak flag
Lol. Nevermind. Good work after the commercial.The ESPN broadcast focuses too much on reaction shots and not enough on replays of what happened. Aikman isn’t a big play analyzer.
I fear that Shanny bringing in Kirk Cousins as a "backup" before Purdy signs his extension is going to be one of the big stories of the off-season for the Niners.Purdy having a rough second half
They have arguably the best defense in the league? Last matchup they got a ton of pressure on Goff, and were probably some fumble luck from a win (Goff fumbled twice and the Lions recovered both). It was a game of two very evenly matched teams.Brady dragged two really weak Ds to Super Bowl losses (46, 52). It's still an offensive league so the Lions will have a chance, but they might have to do something insane like 1 turnover max in their whole playoff run to keep up.
It sucks they don't have two weeks off here and basically the playoffs start next week - Minnesota's season has been BS, Darnold performance aside I can't fathom how they're also 14-2
I'm still mad they basically got shut out the second half of their last game in SF - they should have won it all last year
This isn't the Cousins Vikings team from a couple of years ago, which went 13-4 but had an expected record of 8-9. This team is 14-2 with an expected record of 11-5 based on point differential. For comparison, the Lions, also 14-2, have an expected record of 12-4. The Lions have scored the most points (533) and surrendered the ninth least (333); the Vikings have scored the ninth most points (423) and surrendered the fourth least (301). They are both excellent teams.Brady dragged two really weak Ds to Super Bowl losses (46, 52).
