    The Chiefs get away with it AGAIN

    The Texans beat the Jags after the dirtiest hit of the season takes TLaw out.
    Chargers win again, pretty much sewing up a WC spot.
    The Steelers beat the Bengals in a high scoring entertaining game. Burrow with another 300-yard/3-TD game in a loss.
    Eagles beat the Ravens on another night when the previously damn near perfect Justin Tucker misses two field goals.
    Unsurprisingly the Niners fail to deal with the blizzard in Buffalo

    Bills have clinched their Division, the first to do so. The Chiefs are guaranteed a WC spot at least.

      @mariner4life Bengals would be doing very well if they could defend.

        Both 49ere running backs McCaffrey and Mason headed to Injured Reserve. McCaffrey (PCL strain) and Mason (high ankle sprain).

              It's insane. And he's doing it with a pretty average squad. Some nice pieces on defence but hardly the Harlem Globetrotters.

              He's got the best out of Russ, he's rejuvenated Najee Harris, and used Pickens and Jaylen Warren really well.

              It's yet more evidence of the importance of good coaching.

                We are cooked. Injuries started early and never stopped. A combination of multiple deep playoff runs and failure to retool in some areas, like the O line. Time to shut it down and regroup next season

                  Yep the signs were there in the offseason and then as early as Week 3 on the field.

                  Need to make some coaching changes too. New defensive coordinator and new special teams coach badly needed.

                    We are a victim of our own success. Losing DCs to the Jets and the Texans hurt us. I still have faith that Shanahan can do it, but he does need to have a look in the mirror

                      Yeah hard to sustain success as long as the 49ers have. Don't think they need a wholesale rebuild but the issue is the end of Purdy's rookie deal. Now they enter the big money QB era and have to make the compromises that every other team has.

                        But for the Chiefs I think we would have won a SB during this window. Purdy has played well, but he'll have to justify a big deal playing with fewer or lesser weapons

                          I'd rather they load up the offensive line and defence anyways

                            Yeah I think that's where the need is. And Purdy is good enough to get production out of a lesser lineup.

                              Enterntaining MNF game for the neutral, but not either Bronco nor Browns fans.

                              Jameis Winston of all QBs has shredded the excellent Bronco defense to the tune of 476 yards and 6 touchdowns. Problem for the Browns re 2 of those TDs are pick-6s.
                              Jerry Jeudy revenge game in Denver has been ridiculous.

                              Bo Nix has done alright himself as well.

                              Game is not dead yet either
                              Edit: okay it is now. Denver wins

                                Denver defence did enough in the end. Unsure why Payton was getting Bo Nix into a shootout with Jameis - some of those deep balls were questionable at best.

                                Nix looks the goods though. A lot of poise and can really sling it. No reason to think they can't win a playoff game.

                                  did you see the throw for the 93-yarder? a fucking missile with zero margin for error

                                      Even when 49ers are having a down season they are never dull

                                      With their season on the line in the 3rd quarter and their starting linebacker Greenlaw getting hurt backup linebacker Campbell refused to play when he was needed and went to the locker room.

                                      Absolutely insane

                                      If we decided to quit before the game they could have made another linebacker active - instead he quits mid game.

                                      The final nail in the coffin. Deebo is a complete shell of himself and Purdy's limitations were all on display. Was pleasing see Greenlaw look like his old self in the first half though.

                                        Definitely a flush the toilet season. The 9ers will have to decide whether to pay Brock or not

                                          Saw a theory that this season is basically where you're seeing the cost of the Lance bust. Because they were a good team getting good QB play from Purdy they'd been able to wear the damage but this is the point where they'd probably have another couple of contributors (from the traded away firsts) starting to establish themselves as part of the core, but instead you've got the same guys trying to do it year after year.
