This game is like watching death in slow motion.

I want to tell San Francisco they can go home early.

This has to end at some point. The 49ers’ roster is so depleted it’s a shock they haven’t had to play guys both ways. If they make the Super Bowl, Brock Purdy and Kyle Shanahan will be all that’s left; staggering into Levi’s Stadium in each other’s arms before collapsing at midfield in a cloud of dust and dried athletic tape.

Ever since my Packers lost, I really don’t care who wins it all. 🥰 💚 💛

I’m a big Niners fan, so I couldn’t possibly root for the Rams, or the Seahawks. But then, I’ve always liked the Pack, and hated the Patriots and Denver. Some years certain fans just can’t find a team to like.

At this point in the season there are so many injuries that no team is playing with their best roster.

Injuries and travel really caught up to the 9ers tonight. Seahawks are on a mission.

41-6. I don't think either the Bears or the Rams can beat the Seahawks in Seattle, so I am pretty sure this is our NFC Super Bowl representative here.

Seattle played a depleted, tired team in the Forty Niners. They traveled six thousand miles round trip to beat a good Eagles team in a tough game, then with only five days rest, they traveled to Seattle to play a well rested rival team in a very hostile stadium.
I’m not Seattle wouldn’t have won that game even if the Niners had been rested, but the lopsided score needs to be taken with a grain of salt. They’ll have the upper hand in the championship game, but they’re not as good as last night’s score would have you believe.

Both the Broncos and the Seahawks had thousands of screaming fans supporting them yesterday. I don't know how the players could hear anything. But I really do think playing at home matters.
