So far I think last weekend was more entertaining with closer games. Jaguars Chiefs could have been an incredible finish if Agnew hadn’t lost the ball at the end.

Agree, or if they recovered the onside kick.

Great start by the Bengals in the snow in Buffalo!

Looks like my bills are done for.

Buffalo will never be allowed to win a Superbowl. Well at least according to an episode of the X-files..

Dont remind me of the Norwood miss those were some rough days as a bills fan.  

 

Dry spell goes on!

[Jattdogg]

Beaten fair and square. Had to drive home today in that same snow. We arent too far from buffalo (75 to 90 minutes drive tops). Fun times.

 

Think KC will win the AFC against either of these teams.

[CheeseHead]

Four consecutive Superbowl losses in the 90s must have really hurt! Kind of reminded me of LCFC and our 4 FA Cup final losses which hung over us for so long. The Bills are at least contending these days, so there is some hope

It did hurt and yes contending is great after being shite for awhile.  We need to turn contending into winnong though or the ship will sail and back to rebuilding.

 

Sigh.

 

All the best to the bengals though as i don't care for KC.

 

At least we have won the fa cup and EPL since those days!

The 49ers kicker making the 'tackle'.

 

The classic 'Turn your back when the returner gets near and hope he runs into you' play!

Could and probably should have won that, but Dak was crap.

Dak is always crap. He's simply not good enough, not consistently anyway.

It’s all relative, he’s still better than the majority of other quarterbacks. Like I’d take him in a heartbeat over Zach Wilson.

 

Also Pollard getting injured really hurt the Cowboys game so allowed the 49ers D to put real focused pressure on Prescott.

I agree with that to a degree when you look at how under appreciated the likes of Romo was in Dallas but 15 interceptions to 23 thrown TD's isn't  great. He just can't be relied on and for me, that's what you need in a QB most. 

[Guest Lako42]

49ers game was a game ruled by the defense for long periods. 

 

Was really hard for either team to gain momentum. 

 

 

I'll take the win though but will deffo need to improve in the next one. 

[mancunianfox]

Dak is on the Kirk Cousins level. Could maybe do it with a great defense but probably too good to just be a game manager so always a risk.

 

The Bills just need to sort out their run game next year. Been very patchy all season and Allen means they get away with it but they need to be able to run it better when they have that kind of home field in January.

 

Think Bengals will beat KC, I don't see Mahomes being in great shape next weekend. Eagles v Bengals SB.

[purpleronnie]

Really surprised we beat the Bills, bring on KC.

[KingsX]

Word to the wise.  Bills and Cowboys only exist to crush their fans.  That’s all they do and ever will do.

 

The one difference is that I feel sorry for Bills fans.

Agree that Dak was the difference - on the graphic mid-way through the 4th Qtr, there was only 1 yard in it: other than a good drive for a TD each, it was field goals all the way & Dak gifted the Niners 2 of them. 

[StanSP]

Great recovery on that 4th down for Eagles. What a catch under pressure.

Apart from the fact he dropped it!!!

 

I was shouting for them to throw the challenge flag. A bit incompetent that they missed it in the booth. 

[Golden Fox]

Looks like Purdy is out now... going to be a long afternoon .

Shame, that. He was having such a brilliant season. Was he injured before the game?

[CheeseHead]

This is looking very grim for the 49ers
