49ers vs. NYG NFC divisional playoffs

Joe Montana- 8 for 15 no tds 2 ints qb rating of 34.2

-- 49ers lose 49-3

Jan 9, 1988

Minnesota Vikings vs. 49ers NFC divisional playoffs

Joe Montana- 12 for 26 no tds 1 int qb rating of 42.0

--Montana benched at halftime 49ers lose 24-36

So what did the 49ers do after 1988? They could of just sat Joe for future HOF Steve Young and gone on. But no, they stuck with Joe and went on to win 2 consecutive superbowls in 1989 and 1990.

I am not trying to compare Jake to Joe, but if those days can happen to Joe, they can happen to anyone.

Keep your head up Jake.

Seriously for the people saying that we can't blame this loss on just one person please come out of your state of denial. This loss was Jake's fault, plain and simple. You can't win a game with SIX turnovers from one player. He didn't give the team a chance to win, which he admitted, so most of the blame goes on Jake.

In most losses it is difficult to pick out one person who is largely at fault for the loss, but in this game it is completely obvious. For our other four losses this season you can't pick out one person who single-handedly lost us the game, but that is not the case this time. Six turnovers from one player = game over.

Jake Delhomme isn't Joe Montana. Comparing them is just silly. We need the running game to return and the defense to be restructured to be champions next season.

got someone else we forget about

January 20, 2002

Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers went into the divisional round against the Rams. Favre threw SIX interceptions, three of which were returned for touchdowns. It happens to the best of quarterbacks.

it wasent our year Plain and simple.

Folks just need to get over it and reflect on the good stuff from 08.

I read a post from you this week saying the exact opposite.

-- Not trying to call you out, but the point is a lot of people thought it was our year(including you) and thats why last night is a tad bit hard to get over.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
