Feel I have a fairly strong knowledge about the game. So look to see what problems we have and weaknesses before we actually got to the NFC Championship game.

I also can’t believe we went all the way with that good of health.

Never seen us be in that good of shape. I thought it almost impossible to have every starter for the SB. Think Sanders was injured coming in honestly. So he was the only one. But that actually hurt. We got out rushed on by Chiefs. Never would have ‘called’ that. Clearly a huge part of the loss. We were on such a tear for sacks and they beat us on pressuring the QB also. They won the trench battle. We dedicated so heavily there. But best Oline failed. Best Dline failed.

He carried 1 drop in for KC. 7 points,we lost by 3. it's simple math. If Mahomes had dropped 1 and we ran it in we would have won

He was the best player in the game. If our D did anything we win. Mahomes wasn’t even at his fastest mobility.

Hurts tried to overcome Seumalo two straight mistakes. Best Oline left s rusher unblocked with an empty backfield.

Five guys pass rushimg. LB at the line showing blitz…untouched.

Seumalo doesn’t false start Hurts gets the first down. Hurts has been more automatic on short yardage than anybody I’ve ever seen.

So then instead of Hurts getting us the gimme(because of Hurts) first down it becomes 3rd and 6.

Ignoring the whole facts to put the play with any context is just Hurts hating.

Oline screwed up the short yardage conversion on third down. So then they screwed up again on the very next play. Unblocked Bolton. Doubled some other guy to leave the fifth rusher untouched. He comes straight at Hurts unblocked. Takes the fumble to the end zone. Now does that happen if either play the Oline doesn’t screw up? No way

But at the start of 2022.. this was not your goal.... remember the criticism toward me for expecting more than 12 wins with that roster?   "No Mas, it's unfair to put such expectations on a young QB, let's make the playoffs first"   lol.

Really losing credibility.    Very easy just to admit the guy in charge is doing a very good job... going out of your way to criticize salary cap is really losing it.  

But you like that island... you get your attention that way.

BS. Talked about the Niners all offseason.

Since 2017 think Howie has clearly shown he is willing and able to go get guys to the pursuit of another championship.

Definitely can argue he needs to have a better grasp of when those SB windows are really there can say we were spending on older guys when we weren’t really contenders anymore that’s fine.
 

But definitely has and is willing to spend to help the best he can to put us over the time for the Lombardi

2017 is more understandable. Rosie lost his job. Had to remake the team and dump No Mas boy Chippers guys. So Rosie needed results more for job security. So you can understand the cap situation more.

But the team clearly went nothing but downhill after 2017.

Mostly because of the way Rosie does things. The dead money. The backloading so hard of contracts. Not clearing the cap first.

But we finally got the trophy. Rosie proved himself. So I give more slack in that situation because of it

But it’s still the way he’s gone about business. Clear as day how it hinders things. I’m impressed with how he’s handled this offseason to work around his limitations he’s created. Really looking pretty strong. Better than I expected he could do for sure

Not sure why it’s not fair to point out how his crap for 2019 and 2020 isn’t a problem. Where were those teams going? So we limited this Championship window over trying to get 9 maybe 10 wins those years?

We could have that cap space for this season. Could have more in all the years coming up.

How am I the only one that understands this? We could have everything we have now plus a couple superstars top of the market added in.

It’s just me being negative pointing out these obvious facts? That no way could I consider that we could have done anything more to have completed the mission last year? This year? Next few years?

This looks to me like our best opportunity and window I’ve ever seen with Hurts.

Am I negative because I scrutinized everything to want them to be a champion? It’s only ok to nitpick a team that’s just starting out like in 2021? You guys tore them apart. But they achieved all they could. They couldn’t win the big one. But now no reason to not.

That’s the goal: win the SB. Anybody that can’t be a part of getting that done doesn’t work. Roster has to be right. Not going to likely get through with all starters again. GM’s job.

We couldn’t even beat a bad team without Hurts. He was the only reason the game was even close.

I don't hate Hurts,he played a terrific game,maybe his best, but the 1 mistake he made he could not overcome. I don't hate him he is human after all LOL. he will fight to get another chance at it and I'm counting on him to do so

That’s how you see the reason we lost the SB?
