Golden Nuggets: No Complaints Here, Good Win For 49ers

by James Brady on Jan 2, 2012 2:00 AM PST in 49ers Links

I guess some people were upset following the 49ers' victory over the Rams yesterday, and I'm kind of scratching my head about it. I understand the 49ers themselves being disappointed, but there are a lot of people complaining about the fact that the Rams came back. Personally, I'm not going to complain one bit. There was a team that let off the gas because they could, and got back in the thick of things when they needed to. Nothing more, nothing less. Very pleased with the 49ers' win and couldn't be happier heading into these playoffs. Also, I'm pretty darn stoked that Boobie got a touchdown yesterday. It's the icing on the cake. Let's get to the linkage for the day.

Personally I was upset,

here I thought this game was in the bag so I relaxed and let my mind drift, then I got all stressed and had to pay attention again! So happy they won, GO NINERS!

No complaints here, either. remit: win the game to secure #2 seed. mission accomplished. you could argue the vast majority of our wins have been ugly. meh…I’ll take any win,any time as long as we are injury free. Go 49ers!

well said James

Don’t know if anybody remembers but we had a post before the season started asking if there was such a thing as an “ugly win”? Coming off of a 6-10 season the vast majority thought not.

There was a long pass that barely got over Whitner’s hand, an onside kick and a bad PI call in the end zone. The fact that we won while some key players are getting healthy is huge. 13-3 and a 2nd seed is a fabulous accomplishment.
