It's understandable. I'll listen to this podcast later. My dream podcast is Joe Staley and Alex together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NcFinest9erFan Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I was working on my car and walked in to grab something. I had the game on my phone. I walked back out to loud cheers and told myself the crowd is pro-49ers so we did something right? I saw the Thomas INT and this me on the door steps: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only so much an OL can do. You can't double them both. And if they're not doubled, they're in the backfield. In the last two games, we've seen a lot of Bosa isolation far on one side with the 3 other linemen bundled up far on the other side. That has generated a lot of pressure, but not a lot for Nick, as he often ended up triple teamed. He's been great about it, but the guy deserves to get easy rushes too, so I was glad to see him get a couple of inside stunts as well. And having Key and Bosa side by side is a problem for opposing OL too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinerNation21 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I'm re-watching this game and I found the moment the tide shifted in our favor. It wasn't when McVay was celebrating in the endzone. It was at 0:50 left in the second quarter courtesy, Nick Bosa. Up until this point on passing downs, the Rams were doubling Bosa, sometimes tripling him regardless of where he lined up. There were times where Bosa was playing RDT and he would get the LG/C double team, which put the tackles in 1-on-1 situations with our Ends. But on 3rd & 1 with 0:50 left in the half at the Rams 42. They leave Bosa 1-on-1 with the RT. Bosa cleanly beats him for the easy sack. Drive over. This is the beginning of the end for the Rams. This one mistake, most likely arrogance or shear ignorance by the Rams, was the biggest play of the game for the 49ers because it opened the door for the 49ers and they never looked back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinerNation21 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I feel like with us now being 6-0 against the Rams and winning this one they way we did, coupled with the Seahawks possibly taking a step backward, that our new rivalry is Rams/Niners. I feel like the first meeting between these two teams next year is a marquee primetime matchup that will be a hated dog fight between them. I can see the NFL wanting this one fairly early in the season and on Sunday Night Football. I guarantee the NFL is circling this matchup for one of their top ones for next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rams tried to finally beat the 49ers and it failed. You are what you are and you're not what you're not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
