9ers have lost more superbowls in the last 8 seasons than any other team.
Ravens , our offense was way better , and we lost to joe f**king flaco
Not sure how you get much closer to winning a Super Bowl than having your speedster QB striding into the end zone on a boot leg only to have your moron coach call a time out....

Ravens was a massive comeback we were actually ahead in the 4th Q vs the Chiefs.
Chiefs, no question. 49ers owned the game for 55 minutes. For Ravens, they had to make a big comeback.

1998 Super Bowl against the Broncos HAD G Hearst not gone down against Atlanta, we would have won that ish! YOU KNOW IT! KYLE'S DAD KNOWS IT! UNCLE FLOYD f**kING KNOWS IT! YOUR MOM....

Wait...what we were talking about? Oh, woulda, shoulda, coulda. Right, right. 1998 Niners should have won the Super Bowl. Period.
We were closer to winning the KC game. One play a way in the Baltimore game but in the KC game we missed that play multiple times on both sides of the ball.

Lol this
Chiefs. Niners had the game under control by the 4th. Chiefs sideline looked defeated and fighting each other. The World was ready to start putting out their "Mahomes is a choker" takes. It makes me angry just thinking about how we had it.

Niners were trailing all game against the Ravens, and even if Kaepernick/ Harbaugh don't choke at the 5 yard line, does the defense keep the Ravens from scoring on one last drive?

Stupid ass thread. but against the Chiefs. We needed a literal miracle with the power going out in the stadium to catch up to the Ravens.
The chiefs. They had no defense and teams still felt like Jimmy might not have huge holes in his game. There were only a few players that cost us the win.

Holes in kaeps game were not hidden as well with Harbaugh even if the team might have been better. Massive defense and offensive deficiencies for huge parts of the game led to us having to make an insurmountable comeback.

The Chiefs game was winnable with better coaching within the game itself. The Ravens game we should have played to kaps strengths more beforehand and hid his weaknesses better leading up to it.

You don't even know what happens if we did score. Ravens still had time, granted not a lot but just under 2 minutes with 2 time outs...enough time to make something happen. Score was 29 to 34 at that point. We score we're going for 2...so that's another assumption that we have to make that and then it just gives them a FG to tie. TD to win. Justin Tucker in a dome....they wouldn't have to get far.

KC game we led most of the way and had a 10 point lead with like 7 minutes left to play. We get the stop on 3rd and 15 and we win. 1 play.

Not 1 play bc the Chiefs are going for it on 4th down if they didn't convert IMO

Agreed. The Chiefs game was way closer.

Literally if shanahan had been a little more conservative in the 4th or garapollo had been just slightly better or kwon Alexander did not miss like 5 tackles and just made one of those tackles we would have won.

Kwon Alexander laid a huge egg and was the worst player on the field. He was not even close to even an average nfl linebacker that game. If he played even just mediocre and not horrible we win.
If we get the Crabtree call in the end zone against the Ravens we win. Seemed obvious to me it was a penalty.
