      Lock and the Hawks might be about to do the 49ers a big favour. An amazing length of field drive results in a go ahead TD, Seahawks lead by 3 with 28 seconds to play

        9ers fans rejoice. Seattle just handed the 49ers some breathing room, SF can now afford to lose one game even if Philly win out from here

          holy crap the INT at the end was ridiculous body control. Toe tap for Julian Love would have been epic for a WR, let alone a defensive player.

          Fun game!

            He collided with his own team mate as well. Metcalf made some great catches in the go ahead drive too

              There's a few catches where you just go WTAF did I just see. Good player.

                Brock Purdy is like that. Watch him closely and it's amazing his touch when dropping passes to his receivers. I realise Murray had to battle the suffocating 9ers D, but his touch wasnt nearly as good

                  Well put. Purdy makes it look easy but make no mistake he's a serious talent.

                    That one he threw into the front corner of the end zone was beautiful. Absolutely unreachable for anyone else but his receiver, such a tight window

                        Awesome thing is, SEA have allowed us to play without the risk of losing our NFC lead

                          Very impressive win by Ravens over Niners. They had the game plan and the personnel to shut down the 49ers offense.

                          Not a fatal loss for the 49ers but big questions remain about their ability to stage second half/4th quarter comebacks. The stats suggest it doesn't happen.

                          Ravens meanwhile look well placed but up to now under Lamar haven't transferred their regular season success to playoff success and the AFC looks tougher than the NFC.

                          Russell Wilson benched by the Broncos but that looks to be a financial decision to ensure Wilson passes a physical in March otherwise it triggers an enormous payout of near $40 mil.

                            Much like Carr last year the Broncos basically raising a massive 'we give up' banner over Wilson. Tanks his trade value, wouldn't be at all surprised if he's cut. That'll be a 85m dead money hit though (which they'll have to post June 1 to spread into 2025). His 2025 salary (37m) will become fully guaranteed around about 18 March 2024 so that's deadline day for a decision.

                              49ers clinch the 1 seed in the NFC. Badly needed bye week + can rest some players next week.

                                @KiwiMurph shocking call yesterday in the lions cowboys game. Mistakes happen, but the refs doubling down is a terrible look.

                                The classic Simpsons Skinner meme is
                                Cowboys: could I be wrong?
                                No, it's the other 31 teams and the NFL media that are wrong

                                  Crazy to me that a billion dollar league has part time refs. It's beyond a joke now.

                                      He was notorious for it at the Packers. Good coach in so many ways, but he and Reid used to get rightly mocked for clock management.

                                      I almost had a clock/cock typo, which is kinda funny, and kinda juvenile humour. But I smirked.

                                          Mike Tomlin now 17 seasons as a head coach and never had a losing season.

                                          He had a lot of years with Big Ben and bunch of other talent, but the last few years the steelers have had very little talent and he's kept wringing out every last bit of performance. He's low(ish) key one of the best head coaches in the league.

                                          Ironically, that success probably hurts the steelers. With league average coaching they'd be looking at top 10 or even top 5 draft picks and might be able to get more talent in.
