SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS vs LOS ANGELES RAMS - 2023 Season Game 17

1987: Niners played hard to the end and blew out the Bears, Falcons and Rams…were worn down come playoff time and bounced in the divisional by the Vikings

1988: Bill Walsh learned from the mistake of the previous season and rested players once the Niners seeding was set and they could lock up no higher than #2 seed. Lost meaningless game to Rams (was also a strategic loss to prevent dangerous NY Giants team from making the playoffs). Niners went on to exact revenge on the Vikings, knock out the #1 seed Bears on the road, and win Lombardi #3…

👆 I'll take the second scenario. Just hate the bad taste in my mouth from this latest game against the Rams…f**ken Moody

Doesn't mean we get them. Need Dallas and Det to win too

Would be epic if Packers, Rams and Bucs win, with the division round matchups Rams at Bucs and Packers at 49ers.

So you're telling me that we can't win playoff games without 7 of the best players in the league???

That's correct

Lol

I bet you would get great odds in Vegas for that Scenario.

Seriously. I could've sworn we went through this same nonsense in 2019 and 2022. The moment we had to play the Vikings, everyone was yelling that they were a scary matchup for us. Last season people were peeing themselves over playing Seattle again.

Some just feel the need to justify their perceived eventual disappointment. As long as the team isn't afraid of their opponent, fans can feel whatever they want because it doesn't matter.

Cowboys, Lions, and Bucs win next weekend. Book it

That scenario would be great for us and then the Lions should beat Dallas the second time

I know this game meant nothing. But I am still horribly bummed.

Lol at "horribly bummed" over a meaningless game. Are you suicidal when they lose a playoff game?

f**k that Yeast dude too, on the Rams

It's so hard to care about this game. It's basically preseason ugliness. But Moody deciding to suck today has been concerning. As has Wilks failing to adjust to the Rams offense.

the worst thing to come out of this game is not only the fact he missed 2 kicks, but not getting another attempt to redeem himself in a game-setting..

Feel the same. We were close to getting him that last chance too.

At same time, think if he missed it lol.
