Live by Dan Cambpell, die by Dan Campbell.

I was also told that Kyle Shanahan teams couldn't come back from deficits, but it appears that they can!

Niner game ball goes to Dan Campbell.

Goff played like a veteran. His young team didn’t quite come thru when needed. Dan Campbell needs to learn better game management. Maybe he still loses but allowing the momentum shifts to home team by getting 4th down stops is not that.

What a shame... love how Goff played and loved keeping tabs on the Lions season.

That's game

thats it good evening everyone

Expand full comment

Well it was fun while it lasted

The plot thickens...

That hit St. Brown in the hand even though he wasn't facing it. Smh

Expand full comment

Our former Pac12 enemies still haunting us. CMC, Aiyuk, St Brown

Expand full comment

St. Brown?

Expand full comment

He dropped that pass a minute ago

Expand full comment

It's hard for me (despite being a 49ers fan) to root for CMC... even after Stanford buddied us into the ACC... but it's still Stanford

Expand full comment

I feel bad right now for Goff... other than a couple of passes he's been sensational... receivers have been awful... well may be not awful but disappointing.

Expand full comment

Jeez, if Purdy beats your defense using his legs, that's game over.

Expand full comment

Garoppolo does not win this game.

Expand full comment

Niners defense won that down. Kick was long enough that I don't think going for it was a bad idea, though.

Goff's receivers are killing him. Williams did keep one away from the defender but that was catchable regardless.

Expand full comment

needs Chad Hansen and Kenny Lawler

Expand full comment

Or any of Chris Harper, Bryce Treggs, Darius Powe, Maurice Harris, Stephen Anderson, Trevor Davis

Expand full comment

Love those guys... throw in , Sean Dawkins, Bobby Shaw, Marvin Jones, Deshaun Jackson ...

Expand full comment

Man - it's a shame that it counts on the quarterback as an incomplete because those are catches that should be made! Yikes.

Expand full comment

Keep using Reynolds as blocking WR

Expand full comment

Tyson Alualu with a sack

Expand full comment

Lions are choking: missed interception, fumble, dropped pass, missed easy sack. not ready for the moment?

Niners were underperforming and Lions overperforming. And some bad luck for the Lions. Also Reynolds can't catch.

Expand full comment

Or series of unfortunate (for them) events?

Expand full comment

Ugh could have pinned them.

Expand full comment

Reynolds is just as bad as MVS

Expand full comment

Reynolds is giving this away single handedly

Expand full comment

Needs hands to be able to do that.

Well he probably has one hand. You usually need two hands to catch zip passes unless you are OBJ or Maurice Harris.

Expand full comment

That was quick 17 unanswered points. 8 minutes in game clock.

Expand full comment

20 minutes ago Lions were threatening to go up 31-10, now it's tied

Expand full comment

Luck turning the Niners way.

Expand full comment

What a strange turn. Not sure Niners deserve it but it makes for a more exciting game than a blow out.

Expand full comment

I'm conflicted... on one hand happy the Niners caught a break but that wasn't a great play, just lucky... pretty crazy catch off the DB's face mask.

Expand full comment

ugh they needed a score there

Expand full comment

Reynolds was never good as a Ram too.

Expand full comment

3 Lions RBs have more yards than CMC. WOW

amazing, riveting first half. Finish them.

I can hear chanting:

"Jared Goff

Jared Goff

Jared Goff"

I imagine a Lions and/or Bears fans.

Go Bear!

Expand full comment

Someone needs to turn Goff's f-bomb into a gif.

Expand full comment

Theres already one form that insane 60-59 game in the palouse

Expand full comment

Can we get Ben Johnson to be our OC?

Expand full comment

Supposedly the likely first choice for Commanders HC.

Expand full comment

DART

Expand full comment

Going to be a very long day for the Niners defense if the Lions keep getting first down rushes on 3rd and long.

Big boy in motion lol. Definitely can't remember the last time I saw that.

Expand full comment

Why no flag on OOB hit?

Expand full comment

I think he was in bounds when he (stupidly) left his feet.

Expand full comment

Yeah looked late. May be because the hit happened when he was technically in the air and in bound?

Expand full comment

Goffense with TD 3!

Expand full comment

Again - so impressive and I'm really happy for him. I'd prefer the Niners but if Goff and the Offense is going to play this well then good on them. Incidentally I peeked at a niners nation (blog) and Wow... those people are losing their minds.

Expand full comment

Niners are not used to playing from behind. I was rooting for Goff even though I'm a Rams fan so I totally understand what you're dealing with.

Expand full comment

Rams were a huge surprise to me with how well they played at the end of the season (and honestly for most of the 2nd half of the season).

Expand full comment

That was a tight window Goff hit. Whew

Expand full comment

Niners D getting mauled

Expand full comment

Amazing! I did not expect it at all.

Expand full comment

Either did the odds makers.

Expand full comment

Yoink!

Expand full comment

LOL purdy

Expand full comment

Goodness - I know saying it is redundant but Debo Samuel is ridiculous!

Expand full comment

That Deebo-McCaffrey duo is unparalleled.

Expand full comment

Lions need to stop jawing and keep playing.

Greenlaw might have dislocated his shoulder on that hit. Yikes.

Edit: Stunned his brachial plexus, apparently, and it calmed back down.

14 points isn't a big deficit for the Niners' offense. And the Lions defense is their weakness. Lions will have to be consistent on offense and eat clock while they're at it.

Expand full comment

I agree - I'm surprised about how well the Lions are running it against the niners...

Expand full comment

I don't think it's going to last. Niners will adjust.

Expand full comment

Scoring TD on 3 out of 4 drives seems like the best result you could wish for, and it's against 49ers defense

Expand full comment

I'm a niners fan but in the end I really prefer Cal... so if Goff makes it to the Super Bowl that's a pretty damn good redemption story and consolation prize for me.

Expand full comment

Nice to see Alualu getting a lot of snaps

Expand full comment

To the house!

Expand full comment

Goff is enjoying the best offensive line of his lifetime

Expand full comment

Go Goff!

Expand full comment

watching McCaffery get more yards than expected is giving me really bad Big Game flashbacks

Expand full comment

Enough of this defensive battle. Let's get to the real QB game!

Expand full comment

SOooo... KC paid for the fix? KC mob guys? What gives? I have seen at least three non-call P.I.s, and I have only been watching since late in the 3rd quarter.

Expand full comment

Golden Boy Mahomes and the NFL needs Taylor Swift in Vegas for the Super Bowl.

Expand full comment

Yeah, I get that. Does not bode well for the 49'ers or Lions, right? Fix that NFL narrative for the Tayler Swift fairytale. Makes business sense. Brings in Swift fans, which may predominantly be newly interested in the NFL.

Zay Flowers ping-ponging from hero to non-acronym goat. Huge gain, taunting penalty, missed assignment, more yards, touchdown, but goal line fumble. Then cutting his hand hitting the bench.

Expand full comment

Too emo that guy. Tempting to think he's huiced on something other than RedBull.
