49ers and Playoffs

Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua said on a livestream Tuesday night that he thinks some NFL referees make calls just to get shown on TV during games.

Refs should get fined and/or suspended for blown calls. The missed call last week was egregious and until there's a consequence, it's just going to keep happening.
With the replay available to them, there's no excuse for game altering mistakes to be made, especially when playoff contention is on the line.

How was the simulation done? With a pumpkin?

Projecting 2025 NFL standings, playoff games, Super Bowl 60

SF-IND: 49ers 10, Colts 6

CHI-SF: Bears 12, 49ers 6

SEA-SF: Seahawks 31, 49ers 10

Can't post the link for some reason but it's on ESPN.

So this simulation has us scoring a whopping 26 points in our 3 last games COMBINED!

And winning in Philly in the WC round but losing in TB in the divisional round.

You're implying that they're ignoring penalties intentionally. They have a hard job following the action with all those big guys flying around. They aren't going to see everything. We have a much better view than they do with the overhead cameras and replays.

The real problem is there are too many subjective penalties. PI has become a joke because they allow so much contact all the way down the field and then they suddenly decide to throw a flag at a critical time.

If the 49ers manage to win the SB this year it would be the worst defensive team in Niner history to do so. This defense right now isn't as good as the last 3 teams that went to the SB and lost.

I saw that ! It's ESPN. Nothing to see here.

We're gonna average more than 30 points per game here on out. Shootouts every game so let's see if our opponents can keep up

Hoping there is a Jewish ref on staff tonight, looking at you, Poopa Nacua, you little snotbag. Tonight and only tonight, I am a Seahawks faa---ok no, lol but I will be rooting for them because a) it helps us and b) you suck

I love the 49ers but I absolutely agree. IMO this would be one of the worst defenses in history for any team to win a SB.

Unless he's still not healthy they should have at least kicked the tires on Wilkins. Maybe they did. If they weren't going to fortify the DL more than they did I thought they should have loaded up on the back end and signed Asante Samuel Jr. Hopefully they take a look at Judon. He might have one last good stretch of football in him as a situational pass rusher??? It's not like Judon would be taking reps away from anyone valuable or someone they are trying to develop.

I hope Sammy O and YGM don't just get back but stay back. They will help. West needs to step up his game, specifically his run defense. With Martin's explosiveness why not experiment with him on the edge from time to time??? Martin could possibly add something to the nonexistent pass rush.

If memory serves me, didn't Rodgers win his only Super Bowl with Green Bay when they were really banged up? I remember thinking "no way they win this year" back in the day, although it may be my Alzheimers?

2011 New York Giants, considered by some the worst ever (ranked 25th in points allowed/defense), alongside the 2006 Colts (23rd), 2009 Saints (20th), and 2007 Giants (17th)

Giants were just one of those teams that got hot at the right time. Niners could do that.

I thought they were kind of banged up in the second half of the regular season but mostly healthy for the playoffs? I could be wrong though.

The 2007/2011 Giants were kind of known for having really stacked defensive lines that were ready to go come playoff time (I may be wrong but I think one of those defensive lines was even kind of banged up until the moment the playoffs began?).

If our team gets hot and wins a Super Bowl it'll almost certainly be for completely different reasons, such as the offense playing close to perfectly.

They would have to get really lucky and make it through the NFC playoffs and then hope for a favorable matchup in the SB. Anything is possible but not likely.

He's not wrong, but funny of him to bring this up when the Rams have been the benefit of the whistle since moving back to LA
