You can’t overthrow that, Sanders had a TD on that He was working the rookie with deep help and ran by both, but Sanders just doesn't have the jets to run under it. With Hill, Watson, Hardman, even Robinson that's a completion. To be fair to JG, this is out at the end of his usable arm, so you should not expect a lot of accuracy. He's not a Stafford, Manning or Mahomes to put that long a ball in a bucket. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but coverage on Bourne was decent and the route took him toward more coverage. Remember that Jimmy G was almost picked the play before. Sanders is genuinely open for the score, but it's 55 yards in the air. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J At the 8:50 mark on the vid Bourne was absolutely wide open 10 yards downfield. Otherwise JG should have slightly underthrown the ball to draw the PI. Terry Glenn was a master at stopping just before the ball arrived. I am surprised that trick is not used more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That play was ran in practice 11 times and 10/11 Jimmy completed the pass to Sanders. Just a bad throw in the worst moment. Too much adrenaline I guess.

Just a bad throw in the worst moment. Too much adrenaline I guess. The play had Sanders as the first read. Chris Simms claims Fenton blew his assignment, who happened to be Bourne. The throw was not that bad. He put it out there to let his WR go make a play. In the 1st quarter it might have worked, but Sanders' legs were tired and he's not young any more. Even Mahomes was only 6 out of 15 at this distance. The one Mahomes just completed, he had a lake to throw it into and Hill could adjust. Garoppolo had to drop the ball in a bucket. The actual bad play was after the 2nd and five play-pass to Kittle. That was the 49er's comfort zone, it was open for a first down, but Chris Jones batted it down. On 3rd and five, Jimmy G threw a dreadful pass that was almost intercepted. Neimann jumped up and down prior to the snap, to show a body in a coverage spot, then blitzed. The play design was for Kittle in that zone, so the defense suckered Jimmy G a bit that time. They got him off his first read, then they jumped the route he chose and almost picked it off.

Mahomes missed plenty of passes he wouldn't normally miss too, honestly. Should be expected, with their youth plus the stage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Buck Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 It was a good game between two excellent teams. It's a shame that either one of them had to lose, but that's just the way it works. The 49ers have a great future and don't have anything to be embarrassed about. They got farther than 30 other NFL teams and should be back in the running again soon. Congratulations to the Chiefs on winning their first one in 50 years. It has to feel good for Chiefs fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think the 49ers staying power has been grossly overstated on here. Richard Sherman, Joe Staley, Emmanuel Sanders and a handful of other huge contributors aren't getting any younger and might not be back. Jimmy G is decent but he's not "that guy." George Kittle is about to get a MASSIVE payday. Dee Ford sucks and no, they can't cut bait with him this offseason for free. He's got 7M in dead money. It's a long hard road back to the super bowl. Will be interesting to see what they do this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piquel Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Something I've learned is that the offseason sucks even if you're SB champs. It turns out all these years of disappointment and heartache playoff losses were not the cause of my sorrow, it was the knowledge that I won't get to watch my team play again for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see what they do this offseason. For the next season at least they should be fine. Sherman is under contract for one more year, and Staley is under contract for two, not to mention the fact that he likely wants a ring before he retires and doesn’t want that to be his last game. Sanders definitely is a tossup as to whether or not he stays, although if he does it’s likely on a smaller contract. The rest of the core, however, is quite young, and the only major pieces in free agency besides Sanders are Armstead and Ward, as well as a few depth players. However, you’re certainly right about it being hard to go back to the SB in the first place, even if you can keep your team intact, and the same applies to the Chiefs.

Yes but I bet this is the best offseason of not watching Chiefs football you've ever had!🍺 Anytime you feel down in the dumps, press DVR, pop in the SB54 DVD to get your Chiefs fix. That's what I did in the 2018 offseason.🍻 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
