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.

Gay refuses to stay on bottom.

Horatio Cornblower

Man, if that doesn’t get Buddy Cole here I don’t know what will.

Dunstan

Well, this won’t be the first time San Francisco got fucked by a Gay.

The Maestro

Just direct-snap the ball to Deebo.

LemonJello

McVay have a mini stroke and he thinks Goff is still his QB?

Redshirt

What timeout? I thought they were out of timeouts?

Redshirt

THAT’S WHAT THEY USED FOR TIMEOUTS? IT LOOKS LIKE AN EMPTY WHITE BOX!

Petronel

I miss when the Rams uniforms had the horns curling completely around and under the shoulder. That was neat.

litre_cola

The white and blue ones were superb.

From what I can tell, LA’s and SF’s strategy is to lull Cincinnati into a false sense of security and then ambush them in the Super Bowl will an unexpected display of competence.

hippofant

Is there anything scarier to a 49ers fan than hearing, “Jimmy G, rolling out to his right, still looking to throw…”

Hey, both of ya teams, I don’t care how pleasant the evening is, you can’t kick back with a margarita and some fresh guac until ONE of you wins the game!

Brick Meathook

Holy shit we just lost power

And you live close to the stadium!

DBs gonna DB

King Hippo

oh Jeanine. WHAT IS YOU DOING??

The Maestro

Pivoting back to focusing on comedy again, perhaps?

The Maestro

I know I’m getting old because they just aired an iPhone commercial featuring a chubby Mexican kid in weird clothes riding a too-small bike slowly around his neighborhood, and I don’t understand how any of that is supposed to make me want to follow suit.

WCS

I haven’t a clue of whatever “song” that was playing during the ad, but, I’d happily have someone use Casino justice on me than have to listen to it again.

litre_cola

Bring out bad Jeanine please.

And Gay is straight! No, wait! I didn’t mean it like…

I know there’s lots of time left, but I have no objections to another OT

King Hippo

‘cept this one needs to go to 3OT. MAKE IT SO

Horatio Cornblower

Sean McVay sucks.

ballsofsteelandfury

He’s had a really bad game. If they lose, it’s on him.

Horatio Cornblower

Literally nothing they’re trying to do makes sense. Their successful drives have resulted from Stafford just Grossmaning the ball downfield and getting a couple of catches.

The Maestro

A photographic memory is entirely worthless if you’re shitty at using the camera.

King Hippo

I mean, aside from blowing up federal buildings, his success rate is looking pretty mixed.

The Maestro

Honestly, if I’m Cincy, I’m thinking that both of these teams are 100% beatable.

ballsofsteelandfury

Yup

The Maestro

Guess that Tartt was too hot to handle?

King Hippo

oh man, somebody check in on the Nel household

Petronel

Still here, still yelling at the TV, but thanks 🙂

LemonJello

Jaquiski Tartt? More like Jaquiski Shart, amirite?

litre_cola

That’s why that guy plays defense.

Old School Zero

the most dropped interception that’s ever been dropped right there. pretty sure that actually counts as a dropped pass for the Rams somehow.

WCS

Jalen Ramsey Hold my beer. No, seriously, please hold me beer. I will drop it if you don’t.

Petronel

OH YOU TARTT YOU

Sharkbait

Wow. How do you drop that.

Col. Duke LaCross

Has the “draw ‘em offsides” trick ever actually worked against anybody except the Bears?

Doktor Zymm

“Garroppolo moves his tight end”
Shake it baby!

No timeouts by the 10 minute mark!

Horatio Cornblower

Whoever is in charge of telling McVay to challenge calls clearly hates him.

King Hippo

and/or is on crack

Doktor Zymm

Timeouts? We don’t need no stinkin’ timeouts!

Seems like a good way to get paper cuts in your “swimsuit area”

well that’s pretty rapey, thumbs down

How many mLs in a Kupp?

I am now full of pork katsu sandwich, mac salad, musubi, and coconut porter. It’s like a vacation from my couch.

I’m pretty sure I did the Musubi on Soul Train.

Horatio Cornblower

Pretty sure the Rams draft is going to be O-line, O-line, O-line, O-line.

That is, if they had a draft.

SonOfSpam

Guys, just FYI have told my kid to “shut up” and told one of the dogs to fuck off in the last 10 minutes.

Me, reacting reasonably. Pray for other house occupants.

SonOfSpam

Everyone safe for now godbless

ThePirateSloth

That was a really weird trick play

LemonJello

Rams look like they’re planning to leave the game early, to avoid traffic.

Doktor Zymm

They must have read Yeah Right’s boots on the ground!

King Hippo

DFO – entertaining AND edumacational!!

Horatio Cornblower

I’m not sure there’s anything more annoying in professional sports than the yappy assistants yelling at the refs after every play.

Doktor Zymm

Taunting? Late hit maybe, but taunting?

Sharkbait

Weak taunting penalty

Doktor Zymm

It’s probably “Pro Flowers” but I choose to hear it as “Bro Flowers” because it’s way funnier, especially since they have “SCORE” as a 10% off code for V-Day

Where is the lie

Nailed it bruh!!!

That animated graphic of Kittle may be the gayest thing ever associated with San Francisco.

To be fair it’s a pretty macho city.
