Has there ever been a team that has underachieved as much as they have come post-season time? I think very few people would try to deny that top to bottom they have been a very talented team for many years now but they consistently fail to turn it up a notch come playoff time like the teams that hav...

Yeah that's what I figured the case might be is that it isn't modern enough for the current Super Bowl standards. I'm assuming they just had the game there thirty years ago because there were no other more up to date stadiums in the Los Angelas area. Too bad. I'm guessing if you asked the players wh...

While watching the Rose Bowl game I was curious to see if there have been any more Super Bowls there since the one in '93. To my surprise there hasn't been and it doesn't even seem like the Rose Bowl is in the running to host another one. Was a little surprised considering it is a beautiful setting ...

Yeah College football has gone a little overboard in recent years. But to be honest the NFL isn't much better. The entire sport of American football is a shell of what it used to be and is all about money and tv viewership these days. I'll still take college football though over NFL teams losing alm...

Lol, well I think I jinxed the 9ers. Kirk Cousins probably played as good of a game as he possibly could but I also think it's clear that Purdy needs a healthy 9ers offense in order to do the things he did during the first several weeks of the season. He's not one of those qb's that can cover up hol...

Despite Purdy's decidedly mediocre play today the 49ers had that game in hand until the refs made a particularly egregious call on a third and long for "unsportsmanlike conduct" on a impossible-to-avoid hit on a receiver running a crossing pattern (who ran at the defender). I don't want t...

Lol, after starting this thread I thought to myself 'it would be funny if they lost their next game'. Lol, and they did. Which is why it's good not to start threads about individual teams and how good or bad they are until the seasons are over with. In anycase the test will be in how the 49ers respo...

If Brock Purdy continues to play as consistently through the remainder of the season as he has through the first five games this years 49ers team seems as well rounded as some of the Super Bowl teams from the past. Watching this 49ers team play is a breath of fresh air for those who kind of prefer t...

More likely than functioning as an actual farm league, I would like to see the new USXFL participate in the recruiting cycle, in the same capacity as something like Overtime Elite. Draft eligibility would be the same as if they went to college. It lacks the kind of draw it would've had prior to NIL...

All these quarterbacks wanting to make upteen billion dollars a year better hope the 49ers never go on a run of Super Bowl victories. If they do the whole idea of how to build a championship team may change. It may become more common place to spend less on your quarterback and more on your overall r...
