49ers Hold Off Late Rams Charge To Clinch No. 2 Seed
by David Fucillo on Jan 1, 2012 1:27 PM PST
in San Francisco 49ers Game Recap, Review 2011
Email
PrintWell, that certainly got crazy in a hurry. The 49ers claimed the number two seed today with a 34-27 victory over the Rams, but it was not without a lot of late drama. The 49ers took a 34-13 lead with 6:32 left in the fourth quarter and seemed ready to cruise to victory. However, the Rams were not ready to go quietly into that good night.
Kellen Clemens connected with Brandon Lloyd on a 36-yard touchdown pass to cut the lead to 34-20. They recovered the ensuing onside kick and on the first play, Clemens fired to Lloyd in the end zone, which was able to draw a questionable pass interference call against Tarell Brown. That set the Rams up at the one yard line and they quickly scored on a Cadillac Williams run up the middle. The Rams kicked away and forced a three and out but were unable to get the potential tying touchdown. The Rams made some movement but a sack knocked Kellen Clemens from the game and Tom Brandstater threw a pair of incompletions. The 49ers ran out the clock and that was that.
After a solid first three quarters, the game got ugly fairly quickly. Nonetheless, the 49ers won and claimed the number two seed. I know some folks are pissy about the end of the game and it is understandable to be frustrated by the last few minutes. Nonetheless, the 49ers get a bye week now to get guys like Kyle Williams, Ted Ginn, Bruce Miller and numerous others healthy. Frank Gore was able to rest virtually the entire second half. Justin Smith got much of the second half off. It may not have looked pretty as it happened, but they secured the bye and that is the most important thing.
We'll be back with plenty more the rest of today and into the coming bye week as the 49ers await their playoff opponent in two weeks.

C’mon man… the guy is good… but he is usually a turnover machine when it matters the most. He and Tony Romo know choking games away.

I agree
he’s been inconsistent and at crucial times. He’s also been lights out at times. And he is a lethal weapon that will keep the Lions in any game. And he’s getting better as the season goes, which is a postive sign for him. And considering this is his first full healthy year, and is only 23, he should get at least another 6 years before you close the book on him as either “good” or “clutch”.
His wide receivers can actually get open to help him out.

Another thing I noticed is as soon as Alex left the pocket…. WR’s were just standing at the end of their route opposed to finding a spot in the zones for Smith to throw it in to… I am starting to see a lot more in regards to our WR’s not helping Smith out when a play breaks down… it’s no wonder he throws it away as much as he has to.

I think there are 32 NFL GMs who would
rather go into next season with with Flynn over Kaep. Doesn’t mean they aren’t wrong, but…
both are unknowns
very small sample size, and we already invested in Kaep might as well give him a shot
Kaep is unknown
Flynn is not. Surely McCarthy did Flynn a favor with giving him the opportunitiy to showcase his talents to other teams.
agree
No guarantees Flynn is going to amount to anything long term, but right now this minute, GMs will take him over Kaepernick

by MichaelClutchtree on Jan 1, 2012 1:45 PM PST up reply actions
that's not the point of this debate
If a GM would take one right now, Flynn is a much safer option
by David Fucillo on Jan 1, 2012 1:46 PM PST up reply actions
But the difference for the Niners is that Kaep is already on the team, with a relatively small contract.
Flynn might have some competition to drive up the price, and the Niners FO already knows what Kaepernick brings to the table. I’d be fine with rolling with Kaep.
Still, it’s all a moot point because I’m assuming Alex gets resigned.
so kevin kolb is why youd rather have kaepernick over flynn
"And thank you to God for making me an Atheist." - Ricky Gervais
by MichaelClutchtree on Jan 1, 2012 1:48 PM PST up reply actions
I explained this earlier.
Arguing that, because Kolb was underwhelming in the same situation (a backup who impressed then turned starter), therefore Flynn, who is a different player, is destined to suffer the same outcome. This is called a non sequitur: an inference or a conclusion that does not follow from the premises. You’ve had experience with this before.
he isn't arguing you will get the same result...
he is saying you should learn from that horrible deal, and be careful before you throw a lot of money at the guy…
To me
it’s just a really stupid assumption… pretty naive to be quite frank

probably on the fact that Flynn has started two games
and tore it up, while Kaep has played in just a few preseason games and stunk it up, on top of the reality that he is still an unorthodox QB that is far less seasoned than other rookies who actually had to throw the ball with some level of consistency in college.
Because that's such a HUUUUGE sample size to make that decision off of.
Get outta here with that.

experience
Sitting behind one of the best QBs in the league, making a couple starts and putting up solid numbers. As I said, that doesn’t guarantee he will be successful, but if a GM had to choose between Flynn and Kaepernick right this minute, I think they would give the edge to Flynn in handing a contract.

If the argument is Flynn vs Kaep
Then I’d choose Flynn. That doesn’t mean we should go all out in a bidding war for him.

You should be glad he’s trying to reason with you, instead of going off on your nonsense. You can think the conversation is lame, but to argue that Flynn hasn’t shown more than Kaep at this point in their respective careers is downright silly. A couple great games is more than zilcho.
Just chill out, I doubt we’re going to go after Flynn.

if Kaepernick has been awful, I think Harbaugh would have pursued a different back up during the season

As for going after Flynn, he’s just too much of an unknown. He’s played in what, 3 games? One good game? The NFL over the last 15 years it littered with QBs who put up big stats in a handful of starts only to be terrible as a full time starter.

I don't know whose idea it was
But thank you to whoever made the decision to schedule division matchups only for the final week.
Did they pack it in those years?
I know 2009 was their near-undefeated season. I don’t really remember the other two.
2009 sealed it
When they packed it in the last three games allowing the Jets to sneak into the playoffs.
Ah that makes sense then.
Definitely makes for an exciting final week though. So many different games with playoff implications whether it comes down to qualification or seeding.
stoked about that
last think we need is for them to injure one of our guys with a BS hit/stomp/whatever
No we will not
Because they are the No. 6 seed. Green Bay plays the lowest seed to advance, thus if they advance they will automatically play GB.
We will play the highest No. seed to advance
As simple as that. Saints are #3, NFC East winner #4, Lions #6 and Falcons #5 if Falcons win and vice-versa if they lose
The quicker GB and NO lose, the easier things will be for SF

So Falcons will have to play NO next week and Detroit will play the winner of the Giants / Dallas

The team played with heart earlier in the season and even till the first Rams game
After the Cards game this team has played not to lose instead of to win and it’s sickening cause we’ll get killed later on.
This idea of playing not to lose is really dumb. Playing not to lose doesn’t ever result in a record of 13-3.

After the first Rams game this team mentally turned off.

But there are also those who aren’t emotional about results but want to watch good football, and with our offense it isn’t happening. Speaking on behalf of those guys, I just hope those who want to enjoy our success can understand them.

Thought of the day:
Winning counts even if its a close game to an inferior team
Won't work in the playoffs
If today has shown us anything the Lions, Packers and Saints of the world and hell even the Patriots would finish the comeback.
Clemens was SHREDDING the secondary in the late 4th quarter.
Pittsburg game
niners tend to play up or down to the competetion
The niners did not play
well in that game at all…the offense and Alex Smith, that is. Props to him though for executing that last drive and making it easier for us to forget how poorly he/they played.
that wasn't a close game
even with an incredibly lucky series the Rams still couldn’t win
+1
This is what people don’t seem to realize. One bad defensive play (the pass TD), one lucky play (onside kick) and one bad call (DPI) made this game seem a whole lot closer than it actually was. This was not a defensive collapse, and both the defense and offense closed the game out the same way they played the rest of the game.
Remember all those moral victories last year?
Yeah, actually winning is much better.

maybe but if you can't move the chains offensively you need a big change on that side of the ball
as I type Winslow fumbles, that’s on winslow not the coach, he needs to be benched!! You can game plan but if players don’t execute it’s all moot…

Who wants to bet he gets traded for at least one first round draft pick this off-season?
he’s a free agent
he’ll probably get a kolb-level offer

I think they take him
This was just the perfect opportunity for them. They were always going to be picking too low for a sure franchise guy to replace Peyton when he retires and this injury put them in the perfect spot during a year where a great prospect is available.
I think if they pass on this chance they need to have their heads examined. They won’t get another. Even if Peyton comes back half the QB he was they won’t be picking this high again with a guy like Luck available.

Sure, but extremely unlikely.

as an organization you have to pick Luck
So this never happens again to the Colts. Also it’s not like Peyton Manning is “young”!! You have to build for the future of your franchise and if they dont pick Luck they have failed miserably..

I think there is an excellent chance they don't take him.
My prediction is that Washington will make them an offer that they can’t refuse.
Daniel Snyder is not afraid to make big deals.
And Shanahan traded up to get Cutler a few years back.
I think it wouldn't be smart for them
That team needs help everywhere. They need to trade down and with the rookie cap I think it will be easy to get a whole bunch of picks in return
damn, peterson almost had the record

Damn we are getting seriously banged up at the end of the year.
Oh yeah, lets go over this again. I fucking hate turf. They should really ban that shit.

really need to realize that not every game is going to be played to your perfect little expectations so just sit back and enjoy the fact that the Niners are the #2 seed in the NFC and headed to the playoffs for the first time in a long time. Quit the nitpicking and just be happy for 10 f’n minutes.

People have the right to complain about anything they want on NN.
All of the optimistic people who enjoy watching the 49ers and not shredding them at all costs just have to deal with it.

People do have a right to challenge it. Some may do it more than you would prefer, but I prefer to be challenged in discussions.

So do I...
That’s why it sucks for most of us when we have to deal with certain folks on here. And I know you will try and include me in that bunch, but so be it… I don’t like certain people’s tired and same comments on here all the time about the same crap.
I want to talk about football and not have to be followed around with a bunch of negative BS… if someone comes at me with legit challenges, I welcome it… but when it is trolling, it ruins a majority of people’s time on here…
But we’ve been over this countless times.

I’m no fan of pessimism, but I’m not going to prevent them from expressing their thoughts about the team.

I'm not really complaining about discussion
I’m all for discussion, I think my problem is that after the teams third straight win to close out the season as the number 2 seed in the NFC with a 13-3 record and home field in the playoffs, I’d like to come on here and read some positive “hey the team that we all root for is going to the playoffs!! yay! let’s celebrate” stuff. I just don’t understand why people have to immediately come on here 30 minutes after the game and just incessantly bitch.

I agree
I’d prefer people enjoy it a little bit more. But I also think the Debbie Downers can post their comments. I respond to some of them, but if I feel like just enjoying the positives, I will generally not engage them. In real life, when I interact with people that are pessimistic I choose not to engage with them. Life’s too short to deal with it, but people are entitled to express it.

you're right
I generally try to avoid the overly negative comments and I agree they have all the right in the world to be here posting, I just wish there were less of them.
Maybe if it continues into next year we can have a “Celebration” type of fanpost after games where only positive comments are welcome lol.

amazed how one can readily admit
that the influence of others affects them so much that they prefer to be in a sterile environment where they feel safe because no one will challenge or confront their point of view…
challenge points of view
It’s fine to challenge points of view, but when you most of the time you have nothing positive to say and show no real enjoyment for victories, it gets old. I enjoy the challenging of opinions, but I also think this site is dedicated to enjoying the team. You bring little to no joy about any of this on a frequent basis. That is why people take issue with your comments. Plenty of people challenge opinions here, but they also show some joy in being a 49ers fan.

a long time ago…don’t think he’ll be back next season for Tampa; but I am glad we sealed up the 2 seed; it’ll go a long way in getting our guys healthy for the divisionals; & I’m less scared of NO even if they do make it out the wild card round next week; 1 of their 3 losses came @ the hands of St. Louis, so in a lot of ways we owe our division rival a debt of thanks for our overall seeding

Glad they were able to win today. Celebrated my bday last night & wound up drooling on some chick’s boobie’s. Suffice it to say I got up around 5pm eastern time today, headed to the bar with my Willis jersey & was like what the hell!?!?! Where’s the niners game, Ahhh they won, “really?”

Hey is it just me or did it look like no one gave Dixon much love when he scored the rushing td? And am I wrong for thinking that Swain and Hastings did nothing to wow the coaching going into the playoffs?
