Lmao! It was good for us all year. I'll blame the NFL crew. And maybe all the rain.

Turf was not fine.

So which is it...is the problem the turf coming up or is the problem that its slippery.

That looks to me like a guy who tried to get away with no cleat and slipped on a damp surface. That ain't the turf.

Ron Rivera wants to make sure isn't a ounce of blame being deflected by him or his team.

Von Miller was just in a great ass mood... he won a f**king SuperBowl and got MVP.

Some are saying that our field was fine all year, I don't remember that being the case. Didn't the Ravens' kicker almost fall into a sinkhole?

The turf wasn't providing good footing. The grass was giving way. That is why they had to change cleats and why a 300+ pound man is sliding backwards.

You think Oher wasn't wearing cleats?

Either way, players are even saying it was bad.

That's not a turf problem. That's a cleat problem. If he was using a proper cleat he wouldn't be sliding like that. A turf problem is when it comes out from underneath you and chunks of it are everywhere.

He wasn't wearing proper cleats. The MVP of the game said it was good.

"during the first half of the Super Bowl numerous players on both the Panthers and Broncos were seen slipping and adjusting their cleats because of the stadium's poor conditions."

"Panthers having problems with footing on Levi's Stadium field and four have switched cleats, per CBS. Manning slipped, too"

"Broncos also complaining about sod, CBS @tracywolfson reports. Welcome to the #49ers world"

"The Broncos were reportedly complaining about slipping during warm-ups before the start of the game."

"They're having some turf trouble at Levi's Stadium. Groundskeepers are walking around, picking up and/or flattening chunks of grass"

Here's a photo shortly before introductions that shows officials doing their best to pick up chunks of grass.

You could see chunks of grass flying around during the game as people ran. WRs were skidding around on easy cuts.

IMO, those aren't chunks. Chunks are what the Ravens kicker took out of the ground when he slipped on his kick. Those are just little pieces of divots that crew was picking up. Just a terminology issue here. IMO, the NFL should have let the Levi's crew handle it. There was a single issue all year on the Ravens kick. The Niner crew fixed their issue and he NFL ripped up their field and put crap down in its place.

Face it - there will be complaints about the turf in this stadium until the end of time. First impression will never be overcome for some because that's how things go. It could get rated the #1 field in the NFL for a decade straight and there would still be complaints.

You can call it a divot, chunk, clumps or lumps. The bottom line is the turf was coming up, field conditions were poor and caused players' problems.

Doesn't really matter who was at fault as long as it does not look like that when its time for us to practice.

Yeah. Pathetic really.

No wonder why our defense is so good at home compared to the road. Teams can't do s**t on this field.
