Game Thread: Week 21, PLAYOFFS, San Francisco Forty-Niners @ Los Angeles Rams, SoFi Stadium, NFC Conference Championship, Sunday, 01/30/22, 3:30 PM PST

[Retroram52]

After just a bizarre team collapse in the second half at Raymond James Stadium against Tommy and the Buccaneers last week, the Rams come back to SoFi Stadium for the last game of the conference championships Sunday. The Chiefs and McVego's protege's team, the Bengals go first in the early game and the Rams are up in the late game.

After all the craziness Sean McVay and his Rams have done this season, it is high time he buries this SHIT-FER-BRAINS, MUSH-HEAD Mode going against Shanahan and kick the Forty-Niners asses BY KEEPINHG HIS FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL FROM START TO FINISH!! No more going soft in the second half, no more damn collapse by nearly always sure-handed players, no more damn LA Rams, stupid excuses, no more stupid-ass mistakes by going pass, pass, pass and ignoring Michel and the run, None of that nonsense. This is THE GAME we all have been waiting for since three years ago and since Dick Vermeil, Kurt Warner and the GSOT.

Twenty-Two LLLLLOOOOOONNNNNGGGG Years have passed since our last entrance to the Snooperbowl that we won. It has been 3 long years since we were in the NFC Championship game and the same since we went to the Snooperbowl. This game is McVego's defining moment because he will overcome the stigma of having been beat by Shanahan the last 6 meetings and he will earn his ticket to another Snooperbowl.

The Rams organization is helping by limiting the number tickets sold to Niners fans. Now it is up to McVego to put together an airtight game plan and to end the scourge the Niners hold over the Rams. Let's see if he has learned anything about a lot of things from his last five years and I am quite certain that AD will be mute this week and Weddle will enhance the D's chances of shutting-down Samuels once and for all!

One game away from getting to the Snooperbowl again AND YET ANOTHER CHANCE TO FINALLY WIN IT since those days of Dick Vermeil and the GSOT!!

If McVay and the Rams lose to the 9ers for the 7th straight game, it will taint his legacy.

You have to be able to beat your divisional foes, and he has let Shanahan and Co treat him like he’s their bi@tch.

This game will show us all whether or not McVay truly has figured things out, or whether he is still the same and hasn’t learned a thing.

Btw, the fact McVay just handed the reigns to Akers after what Michel did for the team all season was pretty telling. Akers clearly is not ready to handle a workhorse load and game speed, and McVay just completely ignored Michel last game when that’s who they needed on the field to close out the half and the game. Akers and Michel should be a 50-50 split.

He has a legacy?

 

[Rambunctious]

The Rams will be ready 3 times a charm

It's up to the players, you aren't winning any game if you don't win the battle of the trenches, no matter what plays are called. And every time the 49ers have dominated the line except for the 1st half of the week 18. Rams need to bring their A game for the whole game for them to win. Sony and Akers need to split carries.

 

[Chilipepper]

I see the RAMS finally waking up to these 49ers. Everything is on the line and RAMS should play their best game. Play like they did the first half in TB except for the fumble at the one. For both halves. RAMS 28- 49ers 17.

 

[Rambunctious]

Just like the Rams exposed the Cardinals weaknesses they will do the same for this 9er team
GO RAMS!

 

[Battlelyon]

Rams are in control of the crowd, they play the game to their ability, it won't matter how many 49ers or Rams fans are in the stands. A cheering crowd can only do do much but in the end, Rams need to win the line of scrimmage, they have only won in the first half of week 18.

People say the 49ers are playing bully ball, winning the lines of scrimmag, run over and over again, because the bully's victim can't stop it. Because tackling is more than technique but effort and perseverance. All the victories or losses in the past don't matter. Matters now!

If this team can put together four quarters of how they played in the first half against them last time, it shouldn’t be much of a contest.

 

[DJ]

Ready.

That is the big question UVA.

Can they put together 4 quarters of solid football?

That remains to be seen.

 

[Rambunctious]

3 times a charm, Rams will dominate this game.

Well they did vs. Arizona two weeks ago

Yes, but that was a team that was inexperienced in the playoffs.

That wasn’t the case with TB and won’t be with SF.

 

[TheLonestarDUCK]

If only we had a sample to go off of. Have these two teams played each other recently? If so what was the outcome?

 

[Smed55]

They can put 4 quarters together, unfortunately they would have to be a combination of 2 or 3 games ??

 

[UnrealTerm04]

They barely escaped in Tampa... That 4th quarter that the Rams had was atrocious. They can't have that at home against a 65% 49er crowd.

 

[Rambunctious]

Be thankful Rams, Green Bay weather for Sunday...25 degrees high
Thank goodness we are in LA at Home vs the Niners

I read that story about 65% niner fans and the entire story was based on two words over and over. May Have. I don't think 65% is right. and if it is a start to finish spanking will quiet them down.
