A Glimpse of Hope From 20 years Ago

Jan 4, 1987

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.

thank you for being a realist. lets just face the facts folks...we got our arses handed to us in our own building...BY THE F'N CARDINALS! are you kidding me AHHHHH!

got someone else we forget about

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.

    • It's the groin injury from the Las Vegas game back in October which continues to get re-aggravated every time he takes an awkward hit. Latest is he will likely miss Thursday, but may start skating in the next day or 2.   
    • I want the following: LB - Devin Lloyd (our big money splash) I'm also interested in Nakobe Dean if we go the cheaper route. His size is a concern beside Wallace, but Dean is a Dan Morgan type of alpha leader of the defense. He's often called the heart of the Philly defense and would absolutely bring a swagger and be our field general on defense. We need this so badly and I'd almost rather go with him because Wallace is no guarantee to ever hit his potential, so maybe we go with Dean and find a Wallace replacement in on day 2. EDGE - Boye Mafe (SEA) I think he's a great blend of pass rush prowess, age and experience. We have our potential youngsters in Scourton and Umanmielen, let's add a vet from a successful franchise to bring some heat. Bye bye Wonnum....bye bye Jones. We roll with Mafe-Scourton-Umanmielen TE - Cade Otton (TB) Again, we have youth in this position w/ Sanders and Evans. Sanders is tracking similarly to Ian Thomas (age/stats) and wonder if he will ever be the TE we thought we stole in the 4th round. Evans looks legit, but more of a balanced/blocker. Sign Otton, who Dave is familiar with and save some money by cutting Tremble. Also allows us to roll Otton-Sanders-Evans in 13 personnel WR - Wan'dale Robinson or Rashid Shaheed I wonder if either of these will be priced out of our range based on age and what they bring. We do already have a 5'8" WR with Horn, Jr. so I'd see the argument against Robinson. However, the latter is still only 25 and just hit a 1k yard receiving season with suspect QB play in NY and an elite talent in Nabers on the roster. SEA gave up two '26 draft picks for Shaheed and he has stepped in nicely for the 'Hawks...doubt they let him walk. I also saw Doubs on the FA list and wonder if he'd be what we need. We need a separator that can be a deep threat to keep defenses honest. TMac/Coker are the bigger receivers, but not necesarily guys that scare a defense....would Doubs be that guy? SAF I'd like an upgrade here and wonder if we wait out the FA period until the latter stages if someone like Ar'Darious Washington or Jaylinn Hawkins lingers and there's a discount later in the game. Nick Scott can F off and I hope he never suits up for us again.   
    • I just can’t see Morgan as being under the threat of unemployment at any time this upcoming season.  As little as ‘winning’ the division and making the playoffs impressed me, I think to Tepper it was like nectar of the Gods. A milestone for him. And the team did play well in the Wild Card. That has to buy him 2027. I would think. Unless we start 0-8 or something. Which I don’t believe will happen.
