ZooeyModeratorIf memory serves they played more than one game in those uniforms. I think they won a few games of those games too. You could have posted a video from one of those games ya know.
Yep. WV is about as Fair and Balanced as FOX News.
ZooeyModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue The Rams officially announced coaching staff additins:
Additins, huh?
Well, that will certainly have other teams’ management scrambling for their dictionaries. Score another creative diversion by our Los Angeles Rams.
In the mean time, the Rams will just be scouting out another epic rookie draft class.

ZooeyModeratorParticipant skip to the 16 minute 30 second mark, or so, and you can watch the hi-lites, of….Rams vs Vikings playoff fiasco.
That wasn’t even the highlights. It was the lowlights. And I didn’t like that game the first time.
That’s the first game I remember in my life.
Yeah. That’s how my life as a Rams fan began. With that.
Thanks, bro.

Somebody had to pay.
Yeah, I don’t think this is a scapegoat situation. There were some problems between Wilks and Shanahan throughout the season, and they had different philosophies for the defense. Wilks was supposed to embrace Shanahan’s system, but there were times he didn’t do it.
Shanahan and Lynch overruled Wilks on his gameplan against Seattle, and Shanahan called a timeout in the Super Bowl to overrule a defensive play call at one point. There was also some kind of fiasco at the end of the first half against Minnesota.
This wasn’t the 49ers throwing somebody under the bus for the loss.
ZooeyModeratorSteve Young thinks the next ten super bowls will be won by quarterbacks who can run.
Interesting that Young must consider Stafford to be a running QB. I wouldn’t put him in that category myself.

ZooeyModeratorAnyone else wonder about KC’s issues on the sidelines? They seem to have a lot of outbursts between players, or players and coaches. That tends to be the case with losing teams, not contenders for the crown.
On Kelce, I saw someone say that lip readers got him shouting that Reid should put him back in because he had “f*cking calmed down.” If so, then Reid pulled him because he thought Kelce lost his cool, and then Kelce informed him in an unacceptably aggressive way that he was calm.
ZooeyModeratorIt’s weird that it worked out this way for me, but I’m a diehard SF Giants fan, since the days of Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, and Juan Marichal. In baseball, the Dodgers are the bad guys for me, and this year I can’t stand that they’re buying a championship. Not fair!!
I get the “buying a championship” accusation, but it’s not really true. The Dodgers currently stand at 4th in MLB for homegrown talent (i.e. from their own farm system) on their roster. And the Dodgers did not outbid other teams for Ohtani and Yamamoto. For both players, there were larger offers on the table that they declined in order to sign with LA. Just sayin’.
JoeMad is also a Giants fan, btw. And maybe OzoneRanger.
The 9ers may have a down year next year. We can always hope so. It takes a lot out of a team to work their butts off for one goal from July through February, only to have it crumble in seconds. For some guys, hitting the weight room and film study with the same amount of energy might be hard to do. It would be different if you weren’t expected to be there in the first place, but the 9ers had this thing in their reach all season long, and they all believed it was their year. That has to be harder to bounce back from.
ZooeyModerator9er Nation is demoralized. There may be Recency Bias at work, but consensus is that this was the worst because the expectation was there all season, and they seemed to control the game all the way through. They allowed KC only one TD during regulation, and that was helped substantially by the muffed punt that set them up. Otherwise, they controlled the game.
The play-by-play guy for the 9ers says that the hour-long bus ride back to Henderson, NV where the teams stayed was like being in a morgue. Nobody said a word the entire trip.
Next year is the 30th anniversary of the last 49ers SB victory.
IMO, it hasn’t been long enough.
ZooeyModeratorNick Wagoner@nwagoner If you want to quibble with Kyle Shanahan’s decision to take the ball first in OT, no problem. Can see both sides of that.
On that… Shanahan evidently said he wanted the ball third. That he expected to score, then KC to score, then it turns to sudden death. The offense got only 3, and the defense didn’t hold KC to 3, so it didn’t work, but that was the thinking.
Also, as someone else pointed out, the 9ers defense was gassed. They had been on the field a lot in the 4th quarter, and starting with them on the field may have been a bad idea anyway. Additionally, two guys in the secondary were banged up on the final drive of the 4th, and the 9ers had two scrubs in at that point. Taking the ball first enabled those two secondary guys a little time to shake it off and get ready to go back in.
Bottom line to me is that the SF defense didn’t keep KC out of the end zone.
ZooeyModeratorI’ll be listening to KNBR all fricken day this week…….
Just 10 minutes ago, before I opened this thread to see your post, I just realized I missed listening to the radio today (I didn’t have work, and so was not in the car). I would have LOVED to listen to all of them crying today. Hopefully there will still be some to hear tomorrow.
ZooeyModerator6 of the teams on that list beat them in 2023.
Welp, they play five of them next year.

His name is Colton McKivitz.
He let Chris Jones go by untouched as he turns to block…nobody at all.
That guy is my favorite 49er right now. I also like McCloud, who fumbled the punt.
My favorite Chiefs player is whoever blocked that extra point.
ZooeyModeratori can sleep a little easier this offseason.
Me, too.
My next door neighbor throws a big SB party every year. He has 3 big screens, a bar, a pool table (with the Broncos logo in the center of the felt).
I’ve been invited, but never gone until yesterday. Two years ago, the Rams were in it, so there was no way I was going to watch the game with a mass of people who didn’t really care, and last year I was unable to watch the game at all.
I went this year, and there were around 50 people, 45 of whom were wearing 9ers jerseys.
I appreciated the end of that game, I must say.
ZooeyModeratorLAS VEGAS — Christian McCaffrey will play for the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday — partly because the 49ers did not want the star running back to play for the Rams. Jed York, the 49ers chief operating officer, last week told Bay Area reporters that although the cost of acquiring McCaffrey from the Carolina Panthers in a 2022 trade was steep, the 49ers had to make the move. The 49ers gave up second-, third- and fourth-round draft picks in the 2023 draft and a fifth-round pick this year. Coach Kyle Shanahan apparently needed convincing from York and general manager John Lynch that although McCaffrey was not a quarterback or pass rusher, the cost was worth it. “And collectively,” York said, “it was, ‘Do you want him to go to L.A.? This is where we are.’”
So the Rams got the next best thing to McCaffrey for a 5th round pick.
OTOH, the Rams picked A. J. Arcuri with the next-to-last pick. The last pick was Brock Purdy.
ZooeyModeratorI am pretty sure that this is the first time I’ve been happy about losing hundreds of dollars.
ZooeyModeratorWho’s seen the latest DNC ad?

ZooeyModerator49erland 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.
ZooeyModeratorI would like to see SF blow a 31 point lead in this game. Does that make me a bad person?
Are you asking me?
ZooeyModerator
ZooeyModeratorLook. They are already identifying goats for the 9ers loss.
ZooeyModeratorI definitely think the Rams should draft several O-line guys
If they keep Stafford healthy, they have a shot at the Super Bowl. Depth on the OL is important. And luck.
Their chances improve with some secondary excellence.
After that, RB depth and pass rush come into play.
Everything else is gravy/insurance.
ZooeyModeratorI will win $255 if the 49ers win, and lose $100 if they lose. Bets I placed while in Vegas.
I hope they lose.
And I’m never betting on football again for the same reason I don’t play fantasy football anymore.
I have my loyalties, and I don’t like these outside forces affecting that.
Fuck the money.
