49erland is confident. My sportsradio attention is pretty limited, but from what I gather, all the local talkers think the 9ers have this. I do not sense Homerism as a factor. They talk like we talked in 99. You know the whole, “Rams haven’t played anybody yet” thing that we endured all year long? These guys have a bit of that. Especially when it comes to Brock Purdy. They have watched every game he has ever played, and they aren’t having any of the “Purdy is a system guy” bullshit. There isn’t even any debate about it, afaik, within the ranks of the sports talkers. There aren’t any skeptics. Across the board, 9er-watchers believe Purdy is Legit. If JoeMad is around, I’d love to hear what he’s hearing. He’s also a Bay Area NoCal guy, and Ozone. I dunno if they watch/listen to anything, but that’s my 2 cents from where I’m standing.
yes, KNBR was nauseating last week.. even levelheaded Greg Papa on his daily radio show was going overboard the past 2 weeks.
They seemed to forget that the Ravens thoroughly kicked SFs ass at Levi Stadium and that the 49ers got extremely lucky vs GB and Detroit in the playoffs.
I’ll be listening to KNBR all fricken day this week……. i experienced 5 SBs for SF…. I’ve seen enough of that…. I’ve seen this bandwagon evolve the past 40+ years and I’m tired of it…
BTW, I’m a huge Greg Papa fan , he started here in the SF Bay Area in the mid 1980’s doing play-by-play for the Warriors; he’s done play-by-play for A’s, Giants, Raiders and now the 49ers. Excellent radio show and broadcaster…. he has siblings in the industry…. I think his brother does Buffalo Bills games, or some pro team from New York.
I listened to Papa’s play-by-play yesterday on the transistor radio…..his KC Touchdown call in OT was far from his usual TD call… very somber.
