    obviously the Falcons 2nd half in the super bowl will haunt him forever... but it’s chess vs checkers if you look at him play calling (not just play calling but entire strategy of how he wanted to set up his team to take advantage of what his QB is actually good at) vs Buttchin.

    I’m too old now to invest super super energy into fandom if the organizations themselves keep sabotaging themselves. Sure I’ll root for them. Hope they win. But can’t be that sad when they lose. Is whAt it is.

    They all learned what not to do from being here.

    Wow! How is BoB going to learn anything when the Niners run Mostert up the middle and score like that? :D

    Can't you see him on his couch, losing chips in his chin anus, and pointing at the TV "see! see! I KNEW it!"

    27-0. Game Over. Right?...

    Unless BOB is your coach.

    Retooled?

    They went 6-10 in 2017, and 4-12 in 2018. No retooling here - they tanked for Bosa and prayed that Garoppolo would be a good QB.

    *Titans* lost respectfully. Texans did not.

    Vrabel has more road playoff victories than the entire Texans franchise.

    I hear you, but "retooled" isn't wrong if you include Jimmy G, plus a few other pretty good picks you can add to Bosa, AND then Richard freaking Sherman looks like a pretty good move too.

    Did the Packers forget there was a game today? They haven't showed up yet.

    Aaron Rodgers needs help. Tilman Fertitta should pay up.

    Honestly thought Sherman would be a shell of himself, from his Seattle days. iirc, he came off an Achilles tear? Pretty cool that he's back to being good.

    I don't think even Mahomes and Andy Reid are scoring big on this defense. What a juggernaut.

    The Packers over-achieved, plain and simple. Was supposed to be a retooling year.


    A-Rod can't beat the 9ners, to how Steve Young got bounced by Brett Favre.

    The Packers overachieved due to a weak schedule. They got to feast on the NFC Least and the AFC West. Their own division was also nothing to write home about. The Packers were known to be fraudulent contenders. In my mind the Saints were potentially still the best or 2nd best team in the NFC. Just didn't work out like that.

    Great. Now our city has roving drunk "49er fans" who are so clueless about the actual team that they think Raheem Mostert is a pastry from a Lebanese deli.

    Those mid 20 picks gave the texans irreplaceable players in Deandre Hopkins and Will Fuller.

    This year's Super Bowl are the two best teams. How both KC and SF dismantled their opponents in the last two games show they aren't flukes.
