One thing to help the Niners is that Stafford has never been a winner before last week. He may choke in the right spot.
Stafford was money yesterday. My Niners had their chances. I like Shanahan, but he repeatedly overthinks in big games. You put the ball in the hands of your best players and run plays your opponent has not been able to stop. The fact Deebo really didn't get the ball in the fourth quarter is a crime. But the Rams earned it. Your Bengals too. Should be a good Super Bowl.
Really excited about next year. Got a team full of studs: Bosa, Warner, Kittle, Deebo, Juszczyk, Trent Williams, Elijah Mitchell, etc. Just gotta plug a view pieces and they will be contending again.
But I will say part of me thinks if Trey Lance had started from about midway through the season that the Niners would still be playing.
