There just isn't any shame in losing a game like that. Someone had to win and we are lucky that it was us. For the mistakes that Kap made late in the game, the guy was personally responsible for getting the Niners in a position to win that game. He just got the job done early and gashed the Hawks unlike any other QB could on the ground.
I saw a different CK in that game for sure. Obviously riding that wave of success he was having in that tremendous run in the playoffs. They reminded me of last year's Hawks in that like the Hawks they caught fire and went on a great run. We were 30 seconds away from having this same game in SF last year, while the team was playing like a well oiled machine.
The Niners are going to be right back in the mix, just like they have been. I genuinely would hate it if Bowman has issues getting back on the field. That guy is an incredible player and I have to admit that he has taken PWillys spot as the best LBer in the league. Man that was a hell of a game. I am OK with the jacked fumble call in that it ended up being a better deal for SF on the next play. If the Hawks got a TD on that I might have felt a little dirty about it. But Bowman was a man and held on to the ball. Amazing. Get well Mr. Bowman.
