Did Joe's rocket arm and bionic legs get him four Lombardis? Or could it have been something else.

Montana had Bill Walsh. Purdy has Shanahan.

Can’t wait to see 6’6 Chris Jones knock down multiple passes from 6’1 Purdy. Pursy better learn to throw sidearm.

I often wonder if Covid had hit the US a month earlier, would they have just canceled the Super Bowl like they did March Madness? Because that would have been the ultimate Because Chiefs of all time. Thankfully the pandemic waited out of respect to Mahomes.

[anaheimkcfan]

does this niner team make the super bowl starting from the chiefs' 3rd seed position in the afc? purdy is a great qb for the shanahan system in the nfc but i dont think he moves the needle THAT much. jimmy grapes with added mobility

Lets face it, Brock Purdy is excedingly lucky to get this far.


he hasnt been tested yet.

Mahomes is the GOAT or at least in the discussion

49er fans gonna be bleeding

30 years, no Superbowl wins and counting.

Detroit Lions getting better, Green Bay Packers getting better

Trent Willaims getting older

49ers may not make it back to the Superbowl for many years.

30 years of no Superbowl wins and counting.

A generation of 49ers fans have not seen a Superbowl win.

30 years, 40 years, 50 years, 60 years, a lifetime.

time is ticking on the 49ers

and time moves very quickly for losing franchises.

I just remember because we won the SB for the first time in my lifetime, I turned 50 a couple of hours later, then the world turned to shit. Oh and we won $1750 in a SB pool.

Purdy hasn’t looked very good at home against two pretty poor defenses this postseason. He did just enough in both games and the Niners needed big breaks in both of them.

I would say Green Bay and Detroit both provided a pretty strong test. Purdy did a great job late in the game to lead his team on some clutch drives when they needed to get the job done.

Also the Chiefs winning supposedly saved lives. Because Covid started on the West Coast, had the Niners won and had their victory parade with large crowds, more people would’ve become infected.

So you’re welcome, America.

He's undefeated in the playoffs.

In addition to his stellar regular season record.

Brock doesn't have the arm or the height. He's got something much more important. The brain.

Your last great QB before Mahomes was a third round pick, not anything close to a rocket arm. He had the mind.

Like Brock. I'd say the kid is going places, but for all intents and purposes, he's already there.

Easy to be undefeated in the playoffs when his opponents are NFC teams. Of his five losses, three were against good AFC teams. Makes me think of the Eagles last year where Hurts and the Eagles feasted on the easier NFC only to get beat when facing a real team from the AFC.

49ers are a good football team with some really good players on both sides of the ball. Probably end up a close one-score game and hopefully the Chiefs come out on top. Purdy is riding high after their comeback last week and it would be a mistake to dismiss him in this one.

Had the GB kicker made a 41 yard FG or had Detroit kicked one FG vs going for it on 4th down, we are not even discussing Purdy and the Niners. Props to Purdy for leading them back though.

Football history is loaded with those kind of “what if” scenarios. Tom Brady has at least 3 rings like that. Pete Carroll on the goal line. Dee Ford offsides. Brady’s fumble bailout via the Tuck Rule which only existed from 1999-2013.

Don’t forget the Carolina kicker kicking the ball out of bounds or Shanhan electing to throw when he’s in FB range…

Right. So you think Joe did ok without being superhuman, but for some reason, even though he's demonstrated he's got it, so far, Brock can't.

Because?
