Blow out city. Lions fairytale ends here.

Hard to see Goff backing off from the pressure and making back foot throws like Love did. Or the 9ers falling in coverage due to the field being wet. Both of those things led to multiple scores.
The field being wet. Come on.

They slipped on 2 touchdown passes. Purdy can’t throw in the rain. It’s pathetic but it happened?

It sounds silly but it’s spot on. He can’t throw in the rain. And apparently their corners can’t stand upright in it either.
It's just such an excuse man. Both qbs had to play in it. Niners deal with those kind of elements all the time in that area. They should be more equipped to deal with it than GB
It's a terrible one

That’s silly. Everyone knows Brock can’t play in the rain. Love obviously was fine. Brock went right down the field when the rain stopped early and pulled a drive out of his ass late.
I'm calm. That's just a weak excuse. Just my opinion.

I can’t belive im asking this but I have to:
Niners guys. You rather Love or Purdy going forward? Even swap. For fun

A lot. At least 10k. It's dirt cheap compared to a ticket in Detroit

9ers were whooped and shouldn’t even be playing. And it is a weak excuse but unfortunately is a huge problem for them. Fortunately for them it doesn’t seem like it will be an issue again this season.

Bump. Set. Shuma!
Did they even play a game in the rain at home this season? I don't think so. Last night I'd heard that Purdy looked like shit in Cleveland in the rain, maybe they meant Cinci but that seems to be a thing if his hands are that small
Should be a good game. Looking forward to it. Goff a Cali native so he should be able to handle any weather.

That’s a tight business locker room
He reminds me of Bill Cowher.
Not an excuse, it’s a weakness Purdy clearly has. Slippage is a different story and the whole team should have been better prepared.
Deebo going out MID game, funny enough like the rainy Cleveland game changes a lot too. No one else can run the plays they have for Deebo and that changes the script. Even if Deebo can’t go this weekend, it’s different being able to prepare with that in mind
Lol okay..gl man.
Don't have final plays yet but will say the niners defense is nothing like past few years, especially their secondary which has been very vulnerable the last month or so. Niners DC also trots the same game plan week in and week out No matter what.
Both teams have similar weaknesses in the secondary, I would give niners edge at linebacker and dline by a smidge if Houston comes back for Detroit. If he doesn't, a bigger edge to Niners. Lions run d excellent at home not as good on road.
I think lions have the better oline and better QB. Wrs are about equal as a group and tight end is probably an edge to Niners since Laporta probably isn't 100 percent yet.
Coaching, depends on your style. It you like aggressive it's mcdc, Shanny more conservative. But shanny with experience and been to the super bowl multiple games.
The crowd won't be a factor in Santa Clara at all. And looks like the weather won't. Probably a great over game. I would like to take niners under 7 but that backdoor is wide open for that dangerous offense if you're holding a -7 imo.
Just my two cents in beginning of week.

Could say it's a tidy box

Pass coverage isn’t close as you have to factor in the 9ers HOF linebackers into the equation. Dline hasn’t been playing lights out and that’s a concern because it is the best unit on paper. They rarely mix up their stunts and for whatever reason isn't getting home enough.
I’d be shocked without any weather if Goof can go into Levi and outplay the one time -1000 MVP coming off a dud in the elements.
Lions will have to run the ball to win. And they very well could. Feed the rookie 20 times would be a recipe to win.
Lions have a better offensive line. 9ers probably equal run blocking group with edges at TE and FB in that operation. Lions a better pass protecting unit for sure.
Lions haven’t played outdoors really all season. No weather conditions but in their last 3:
13 points @ Chicago 7 weeks ago. Loss.
6 points @ Baltimore 90 days ago. Lost by 32.
Win 20-6 @ Bucs. Best performance outdoor.
9ers defense the best unit they’ve seen since Baltimore.
Certainly glad this isn’t in Vegas or Dallas or some neutral location.

Last time he won I think Hoyer was the QB. Former "rival" - if you could ever consider Goof that.
Who gives a shit? It was a different team and a different city in a completely different situation and a much better niners defense
If they can run the ball successfully that will be the difference. Cmc gonna get that thigh gun out quick.
Maybe it's the Honolulu Blue I have injected into my veins but anyone envision a Green Bay/Dallas scenario here? Lions offense is no joke. Can score on anyone. I do not think weather matters, they went to Tampa and won comfortably. It's perfect conditions. Shouldn't affect either squad.

I think both teams will be able to run the ball and it will come down to QB play. Let’s face it, either one of these guys (Goff or Purdy) has the potential to lay an egg, and neither one would surprise me. I do think San Fran has more margin for error. So if Purdy plays like shit, Det wins a close game. If Goff plays like shit, SF can blow them out.

SF injuries plus secondary very suspect. Green Bay had that game. The dropped INT in first half I believe was game changer. Seems about right that the NFL started the season Detroit vs KC….and will end Detroit /KC . Baltimore really looks unbeatable.

Gooooof - needs to win this game and not hang a 3 spot in the ship to cement that as a t10.
Brock - same boat.

I assume Deebo will play and be pretty healthy. There is a big difference for that offense on whether he goes or not. Game could go either way if he doesn't play but 9ers a deserved favorite if he plays. The line says that he is playing.
9ers have not looked in prime form recently though too, imo.
Should be a great game and grats to fans of either team on getting this far.

No fracture. He had a fracture and missed 2 games plus the bye. Hard to see him not active for this one. Having to guard for the end around adds another wrinkle that really opens everything else up. He can pain through it and have 2 weeks off afterward.
He was. Definitely. But it's not an issue this coming weekend as far as the forecast is.. But we all know that can change by the hour.
He's definitely going. Regular season maybe not but should this weekend.
