Five games in a row decided in the last 10 seconds, and all against good teams.

And they won 4 of them.

Some SF Giants fans remember the World Series titles and the way their wins then were characterized: Torture

This is the 49ers version.

Skittle is the player responsible most for this!

Bet they miss Kapernick.

Since I don’t follow NFL anymore, how much of the 49er success depended on the schedule? As I recall a team who won 3 or 4 games this year gets more games against other teams that won 305 games as well. Was that a factor?

Santa Clara 49ers?

I’ve been a Niners’ fan since the 50’s (Hugh Mcelhenny, Leo Nomellini, & Co.).

They’re looking good - statistically the third best team in the NFL.

I’ve got them favored to go to the Super Bowl but losing to the Ravens.

The Niners’ best chances against the Ravens and throughout the playoffs: Nick Bosa and the other defensive end MUST CONTAIN the run to the INSIDE - DON’T let Lamar Jackson’s play fakes and options draw you in so he can run outside of you and get ten yards at a crack. I see Nick Bosa do too many 180’s after the run has gone past him on the outside.

FWIW, the Shanahan family are Republicans and Trump supporters.

When did Colon kneel and leave the 49ers.

Did their recovery start a little later?

The Patriots will regret giving up Jimmy Garoppolo so that they could squeeze a few more years out of Brady. Garoppolo could have extended the dynasty at least another decade.

49ers are lucky to have him.

I started following the Niners again once they jettisoned their kneelers. Now, they’re back to concentrating on winning games on the field instead of playing games off it.

Two critical plays kept this team from being 15-1. With the homefield advantage, they should be able to steamroll into the Super Bowl.

[BDParrish]

So we’re watching football now. Did that flag kneeling thing get fixed then?

I ain’t gonna be the only one boycotting anything!

The Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper, a real Lib, gave ex-49ers kneeler and big Kaeperdick lover Eric Reid a big contract. Worked out real well, didn’t it Tepper. Hope you and your sorry-ass team suck for years to come.

I'm not the biggest NFL fan around and I'm no expert by any stretch. I'm a Green Bay Packers fan (who lives in the heart of Chicago Bears territory ... go figure) and my take on the NFC is this: The 49'ers are the team to beat.

Love my Packers, I'm just being a realist.

Wouldn't it be great to see Garoppolo go up against Brady in the Superbowl?

Just my own .02.

The Pats would have a bye if Robert had let Bill keep Jimmy.
