Your Niners/Rams NFC Championship Game Open Thread

Moving along…

To The Game!

Niners/Rams:

-Trent Williams’ status is “Adamant” and that’s why teammates call him ‘Goody Two Shoes’ behind his back. His qb has said that he has a high ankle sprain and if that’s true I have no idea how he’ll be able to suit up.

-One must think that Cam Akers is on a short leash, having fumbled twice last week. He out-touched Michel by quite a bit but you just can’t be spilling the ball on the floor in this kind of tilt.

-As for his counterpart Mitchell, he was limited in practice on Thursday but I’ll bet that was just precautionary. And besides, it’s Deebo that the Rams have to worry about-he’ll be all over the field and if I had one bit of advice for Jalen it would be, “keep your head on a swivel, there’s plenty of pick plays (you know, legal interference) coming your way”.

-To me it’s a foregone conclusion that Kupp gets at least 100 and a score. The difference-maker in the passing game has to be OBJ-those shallow crossing routes he does so well can be turned into big gains quite easily as he seems to have his old acceleration back.

-San Franny has won 4 straight despite carrying an albatross around their neck by the name of Jimmy G. His nasty 2:6 TD/INT ratio during that time is embarrassing. As is the hypothetical, “What if Jimmy wins the Super Bowl? What will the Niners do next year?” C’mon, if the Niners somehow pull that off, Jimmy G will just be a passenger on the ride.

-The Rams o-line that had given up the 6th-most sacks during the regular season has surrendered but three in the playoffs. Reminder: Stafford is a beast while playing in a clean pocket.

-The Rams have been rolling since early December but it hasn’t been all Stafford-to-Kupp. The D is only giving up an average of 18.4 points per game during that time.

Kuppkuppkuppitykupp!

King Hippo

Cooper Kupp just might be good at this FITBAWing. Apologies for all the HEAT on that taek

Doktor Zymm

Now have the radio audio and the video on, the radio is about 10 seconds ahead of the video which is perfect as it tells me exactly what to watch for

Doktor Zymm

Although there is some occasional dissonance!

Old School Zero

I’ve done that before and mostly it’s very pleasant!

Sharkbait

What is safer? Being a Rams skill player or Spinal Tap drummer?

tundrajim

So who’s the visiting team in this one?

Game Time Decision

Yes

King Hippo

Gotta be about 50/50 in there, I’d guess. But nobody’s been beaten to death, since it’s just the NFC Title game, not a Doyers/Gigantes April tilt.

Gumbygirl

Hihowareyawelcome!

Sharkbait

We are

Doktor Zymm

On the radio they were calling it LeFi stadium, which I enjoyed

King Hippo

I mean, luckily these squadrons have good kickers. Someone will eventually make a football point or two.

Spikedown!

Doktor Zymm

The first quarter was excellent on the radio, having trouble getting out of my car because I don’t want to turn westwood one off

Doktor Zymm

Holy shit, the Bengals won?! Woohoo, congrats Redshirt!

Doktor Zymm

I’m def going Niners now, not only have I never lived in a city with a team in the Owl before, but I want the Bengals to have a shot at the rematch!

King Hippo

So many daemons slain, why not one MOAR?

TheRevanchist

I fell asleep this first quarter. Expecting much of the same for the rest of the game.

King Hippo

The short-haired brunette in this Indeed commercial is my AT&T Lily. FIND HER FOR ME, all y’all Angelinos!!

TheRevanchist

She’s cute, for sure.

King Hippo

I think she’d really dig my cats, and my next-to-non-existent old man libido I HAVE SAID TOO MUCH

BrettFavresColonoscopy

What’s the haps?

Sharkbait

On the craps?

Game Time Decision

Just a buncha naps

Sharkbait

Come on Safety for the Safety Gods!

Game Time Decision

What IS that God’s name?

Sharkbait

I’m not sure. We need a definitive list of our dieties.

King Hippo

how does one say “Men Without Hats” in Latin?

Old School Zero

Orlovsky

tundrajim

Say what you will about Jimmy G, but at least he consistent. Consistently awful.

Old School Zero

UNSHARTED starring NAJEH DAVENPORT

King Hippo

that man has certainly changed how I view laundry hampers

Game Time Decision

Sweet punt play

Don T

Unlike Joe Montana, Stafford got distracted by some candy n the stands.

Beerguyrob

Fuck it – let’s go Superb Owl XVI rematch!

Sharkbait

You can take the player out of Detroit…

LemonJello

Just checked the weather in Cinci: at least it’s slightly above freezing for Redshirt’s victory lap with just his Bengals AFC Champs bandana wrapped around his wing-wang.

The Maestro

Oh yeah, Fat Stafford is back.

King Hippo

Found a funny;

911: what’s your emergency?

me: there’s a really loud fight next door

911: we’ll send a narcissist with anger issues and a gun

me: perfect

Game Time Decision

Already sick of Troy and Joe

Gumbygirl

Always sick of Troy and Joe

King Hippo

especially noticeable after Jeem and Tony had one of their better games

Petronel

STILL doesn’t look like our Janeane at all

Petronel

WOO LET’S DO THIS!

Spur
Brocky

Aw man and she was such a fine girl

Brocky

Imagine telling big daddy Drew when ksk was founded in 2006 that the cardinals, saints, & bengals would play in a superbowl before the vikings or cowboys.

He would have such mixed feelings

Spur

The CBS post game just got ambushed by the Bengals. Boomer seems really happy

Brocky

Dad: were you even alive last time the bengals were in the superbowl?

Me: you have exactly one biological child, and you’re too young for alzheimers.

Brocky

Rather than watching the other game, Im watching the post game of the early conference championship game for the first time since 2006.

What is even…

Spur

I like RAMMITT here. San Fran is too banged up and Jimmy G will implode.

ballsofsteelandfury

So Jared Goff must be feeling specially shitty right now, huh?

Sharkbait

We’re gonna need a Redshirt wellness check. 4+hour long erections are bad for your health

Game Time Decision

Can we humbly suggest some cream to try to reduce the chaffing

ballsofsteelandfury

This should be interesting. I’m not sure it can top the last one, but stranger things…
