49ers Offensive Line

I thought it was pretty obvious he was being sarcastic and not actually bashing the o-line. But I guess it makes for an easy article during the slow period of the offseason.

Yeah, you guys are right. We have a great o line. Its loaded with dependable talent. Especially at center.

^ I'm never not surprised anymore when people can't see obvious sarcasm. I'm sure you think birds aren't real too. This has nothing to do with the quality of our oline and everything to do with Feliciano being blatantly facetious.

Why is it a reach to get players for the Oline? Last I read after the signing of Brock and Kittle and CMC and Warner etc etc this team still has 40million in cap space.

^^ In FA its always a reach since you have to pay so much for a quality OL, and they have a higher bust rate than guys that go 1st round and 2nd round in the draft. So many teams regret paying for OL in the FA when they are overpriced

I don't think anyone thinks we have an elite ol. But the amount of people here that think our OL is bad is ridiculous

Can't wait to lose another SB to Chris Jones and KC because we can't stop the inside pressure.

We lost the it at the coin flip in OT.

Our OL didn't lose us the sb. They were a part of it but I certainly wouldn't list OL as the undisputed reason we lost either of the sbs vs. KC

Offensive line played a big part in that 2 times. Two different eras and teams. But neither one was a Super Bowl offensive line and it cost us real big.

With all due respect but I think we need to drug test you for this one…

OL was one of the biggest reasons we lost that SB. I can give you numerous plays where scheme wise we had KC beat with the call but the OL was beat or confused and the play was killed.

Including the 3rd down in OT which seems like you're putting the bulk of the blame on. Cuz if Feliciano is healthy or if Burford just does his job instead of freelancing and guessing WAY wrong then we have a TD on that play and who knows how we defend a 7 point lead vs 3 pt lead and even if KC still scores a TD we don't know if they go for 2pts like they claimed or whether they get it even if they do.

I still think the biggest factor was the muffed punt but after that OL is definitely the biggest reason we lost the last SB.

There's a collection of derp plays from everyone…including the OPOY and our now quarter billion dollar QB that led to the loss of that SB…but yeah let's toss the loss on a backup LG to push a narrative

Has NC taken over your account?

I'm sorry but where the hell were all the players that were suppose to be the game changers? The elite young QB? The OPOY and MVP runner up? Our DPOY edge rusher and LBer #1 that are suppose to be shutting down s**t when it mattered? Our YAC monster WR that no one can tackle? Our WR1 who just went on to get paid $30M per? Our all-pro TE etc etc…

it amazes me how much blame gets brushed off those guys and put on a collection of linemen who ultimately were never the main reason we even got to the SB…yeah let's blame a backup LG for one play.

the BIGGEST reason we lost the SB is because our elite players didn't step up and make elite plays when we had to have them. It's the opposite of what Mahomes did vs SF…its the reason we lost both SBs. Not because of a center or RG.

First of all you know very well he's not actually going to make a quarter billion off this contract.

Second there's a reason you said NOW. Purdy was a 2nd year player, who very well could've found himself as the first rookie QB in the SB had his elbow not been destroyed vs the Eagles on that first drive. There was a lot of blame to go around in that game but Purdy was well down that list and considering what he was making at the time of the actual game you adding what he's making NOW is hilariously unnecessary.

If you step back and look at your posts, whatever issue you have with Purdy shouldn't cloud your analysis on the OL play. It may not be as terrible as some indicate but when it's bad it's ok to call it out without trying to throw jabs at the QB you're not sold on.

Notice how in that collection of plays you failed to bring up big Trent arguably having one of his worst games for us without being hurt? Killed a drive pretty much all on his own due to penalties. Lost a rep vs a PS guy on a key run play. Unlike Brock he was making top level money for a LT in that game.

OL was a big reason for that loss but there were certainly many other reasons, including Brock missing Aiyuk after the 2 min warning.

Read my post above NY. You're fighting this silly battle and you're putting crazy blinders on to do it.

You better believe I'm going to blame the backup LG, who btw was starting as a rookie and several games into that SB run season for doing his own thing and so should you if you're not busy taking underhanded shots at Purdy.

Once again...no mention of Trent and his bad plays in that game. Almost like you have an agenda you're pushing? Now Purdy is an elite young QB?

And you know very well we've been over that game many times and I've given blame to all those guys you brought up but to flat out gloss over the OL play and the mistakes they had in the game is ridiculous.

Your last line is just hyperbole. You can say that for any game you lose for crying out loud. Who were their elite players who stepped up when they had to have them without assistance from our injuries or mistakes? I can give you several examples where those guys tried...but cuz of the OL they didn't get a chance. Or does that not work for you?

I can sit back and say when Purdy makes a critical mistake. But you shrugging off Burford freelancing so Chris Jones has a free rush to Purdy who has no time to find two open WRs is ridiculous.

It's ok to call out the OL for playing poorly when they actually do it. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

I'm not defending the OL, I'm saying this team has NEVER been reliant on how great the OL plays to win games.

we have a collection of amazing players across both sides of the ball. When our STAR players don't show up at the biggest moments, our players that play vastly more important roles to wins and losses don't step up to make those big plays, who's gives a s**t if a backup LG blows an assignment? We would have just allowed Mahomes to stroll down the field and score all the same.

and I call b******t with the "they tried" crap. The OL played no part in CMC fumbling. They played no part in Deebo dropping footballs or not running through faces. They played no part in Brock misreading a crucial 3rd down read. No part in Bosa not getting to Mahomes on 3rd downs or allowing Mahomes to scramble around to win it.

your BEST players are suppose to shut down the other teams best players. Your QB is suppose to step up and win that s**t. We've seen it time and time again for other teams throughout the history of the NFL. It's NEVER been oh thank god Eli manning's RG made the game winning block to win the SB.

But for whatever reason fans will gravitate towards the OL and the blame for everything…yes they play a part and of course they matter. They don't take precedent over the poor play of all our "great" players that decided to disappear at the biggest moments.
