NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Jordan Love keeps getting better and better not good news as a Vikings fan

 

But admit it if you are an anti Rodgers fan it's funny as hell

 

Oh yeah I Really could not stand Aaron Rodgers and his damn cockiness as good as he was ok I will admit it in a strange way it's funny

 

That missed FG is huge by the Packers. 7 point lead would’ve been huge there

 

Packers 49ers has been pretty good game much more entertaining than Texans Ravens which was only close for a half. Does this mean tomorrow's games will be blow outs? Can the Packers D rise up again? Picked the 49ers but wouldn't mind seeing the Packers knock them off.

 

When was the last time Kittle dropped an easy one?

 

Packers need the ghost of the minister of defense to rise up and make a play

I don't understand Green Bay time management

 

That's a young QB mistake right there still as Packers fans you have to like what you saw from him this year.

 

No need to force that ball anywhere. I kinda wish that game went to OT. Packers probably got robbed at least 3 points early with those consecutive horrible 3rd and 4th down spots in the first half.

 

49ers score late to stave off Packers’ upset efforts, 24-21



History said the 49ers were in trouble when they entered the fourth quarter trailing.

The 49ers were 0-30 under Kyle Shanahan when trailing by seven or more points after three quarters, losing by an average of 14.3 points. Quarterback Brock Purdy had led only one fourth quarter comeback in his career, a 37-34 overtime victory over the Raiders in Week 17 of the 2022 season.

But Christian McCaffrey scored on a 6-yard run with 1:07 remaining, delivering a 24-21 win over the upset-minded Packers on a rainy night in Santa Clara. The 49ers will host the NFC Championship Game next Sunday.

The Packers outplayed the 49ers for most of the night, but unlike last week when the Cowboys disappeared, San Francisco hung around.

Packers rookie Anders Carlson, who made two field goals of 29 yards, missed a 41-yard field goal attempt with 6:18 remaining. The 49ers then drove 69 yards in 12 plays, burning 5:11 off the clock. Packers coach Matt LaFleur, who had three timeouts, inexplicably didn’t call one after a Purdy scramble with 1:55 left, allowing another 40 seconds to run off the clock.

So, the Packers had only 1:07 left to try to drive into field goal range to send the game in overtime.

The Packers drove 11 yards to their own 36 with 52 seconds remaining, but 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw intercepted Jordan Love for a second time. Greenlaw’s 18-yard return got the clock under 40 seconds, allowing Purdy to kneel down once to end it.

In a back-and-forth game that had five lead changes, the 49ers outgained the Packers 356 to 330 despite playing most of the game without Deebo Samuel. The 49ers receiver injured his left shoulder with 5:18 remaining in the first quarter.

Purdy went 23-of-39 for 252 yards and a touchdown as he struggled to grip the wet football. George Kittle caught four passes for 81 yards, and McCaffrey had 17 carries for 98 yards and two touchdowns and caught seven passes for 30 yards. Jauan Jennings, subbing for Samuel, caught five passes for 61 yards.

Love went 21-of-34 for 194 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, with Romeo Doubs catching four for 83.

For the first time in 51 games, the 49ers allowed a 100-yard rusher as Aaron Jones ran for 108 yards on 18 carries.

The Packers went only 2-of-5 in the red zone, settling for two chip-shot Carlson field goals and getting stopped on fourth-and-one on another drive in the first half. They trailed 7-6 at halftime.

I like the 3 and 630 eastern starts. I dont like waiting all day for the show to start.

 

Those are 12 and 3:30 where I live. The London games are 6:30 in the morning

 

They're dogshit. Bring back the wild card/ div weekends where they pack in 3 games starting at 1pm est on a saturday, i used to love that shit.

There's only a few each season, set your alarm you lazy bastard.

 

Man-0-Man did Goff get away with one in the endzone... shoulda been picked.

 

As a Browns fan, I'm kinda torn on the Lions / Bucs game,

I would like to see Mayfield do well but, like the Browns, the Lions have been bottom feeders for a long time.

Those two things are not mutually exclusive. Hope Mayfield does well in a loss to the Lions.

 

Watched the Bucs kick a FG. Got up to get a beer and looked at my computer. Ron DeSantis just dropped out of the race. That was quick.

 

He is watching Ramaswamy perform fellatio on Trump and wants his turn at trying to ride his coattails to the VP nomination. F’ing professional politicians doing anything they can, regardless if they believe in it, to further their career.

It might backfire on him… the non-Trump vote was being split between him and Hailey. This gives her a chance to rally that support.
