But can we talk about Kittle?

The best part of the game was listening to bay area talk radio in the parking lot and on the way back to the hotel. They must have mentioned George Kittle at least 100 times, and Emmanuel Sanders' injury at least several dozen.

To hear them talk this game was hopeless the moment Sanders went down and that is an awesome level of respect for the Seahawks given how much other talent is on that 49er team this season.

One of my favorite posts on the web zone game thread after the loss was..

“No team can win without their starting TE playing and their best WR sidelined for injury”

Well, I can think of one team that can.

No mention of Wil Dissly or Tyler Lockett not being available in OT?

Yep, it’s called depth. They should get some.
Our TE was having a pro-bowl type year before he got hurt for the year, and Lockett went out of the game in crunch time.
Boo hoo, while injuries suck they are part of the game. Again, depth.

Y'all are being unfair. You need to remember that Niner "fans" are casual fans. They don't know anything about the teams they play. About 90% of the Niner "fans" you meet don't even watch football. How would they know our starting TE and best receiver were injured? They don't even know who those players are.

Seriously. Walk up to the next whiner fan you see in matching shoes and jacket and just ask who their qb was last season. I did it tonight. They don't know.

The last time any of these Niner "fans" watched football, Kaepernick was choking away a Superbowl. A few of them made it far enough to see the Tip. Nobody has ever seen or heard from a Niner fan since, until about 2-3 weeks ago.

LOLLLL!!!!! :49ersmall:

Yes, it hurt the 49ers to have some players out of the game. We had our own injury issues:

- One TE out for the season and another not yet activated from IR
- A third TE playing with injured ribs, then out of the game after injuring his hamstring
- Starting C out for the season
- Backup C playing with an achy hip
- Starting LT playing through biceps and knee injuries
- Starting LG playing with a shoulder issue
- Starting RG playing with back/foot problems
- #1 WR playing with a hip issue and then out during the overtime period because of a leg injury
- CB #2 out for a play after getting shaken up
- LB playing with a knee injury, and out of the game for a play after getting shaken up
- DE playing through toe/knee issues (had a monster game anyway)
- Starting FS out for the season and his replacement was playing in his first game this year

That's football.

Makes me appreciate the savvy Niner fans we have on this board. With Popeye, 5GoldenRings, and a few other solid posters, they must be the top 1%. The top ones not only know their own players, they know our players, and strengths and weaknesses, and can give us a perspective not influenced with the emotional homerism that is so easy for home team fans to fall into.

I have no doubt Kittle would have been a big asset, a security blanket for JimmyG. Would it have made the difference? Possibly, possibly not. What is known is that we lost our top flight TE, Will Dissly, traded our #2 TE, Nick Vannett, and then picked up our beloved retread Luke Willson, lost him too, and then promoted our practice squad player, Jacob Hollister, to the active roster, and Hollister flat balled out. That's not even mentioning projected starter/#2 TE, Ed Dickson, still on IR. So our #5 TE, Hollister, was a bigger factor for us, than their #2 TE was for them. I'd say that shows some solid work in integrating #5 TE into the offense, and adjustments like that lead to winning games. So really, it's on Shanahan and the Niners OC to match what Carroll and Schotty did with our #5 TE, with their #2 TE, or adjust somewhere else. On paper, the Niners should have had the edge at TE, our #5 playing, vs their #2. On paper, the Niners were supposed to blow our doors off, at home. But that's why they play the game...

Yeah, every 2 minutes there was a shot of Kittle in his box, and his reaction to Niners play. Never seen this much screen time repeatedly given to an inactive player.

Now what does seem a little scary is the talent and *apparent* depth SF seems to have in their D. All those athletic high-round picks, and then dudes like that #57 linebacker that picked off Russell in OT on a remarkable play and looked like he was going to take it to the house. Off topic, never mind.

Hans, who are you and what have you done with the real Hans Gruber avatar? It's closing in on Christmas season, and John McLane wants to know.

If those posters are the top 1%, then that just affirms my point. I've yet to meet a Niners "fan" who had the first damn clue about anything, much less their opponent rosters. Or anything football related.

I was laughing my ass off hearing these so called football fans crying about losing a couple players that weren't even performing at the level of our own similar losses. Even if they were, the fact they didn't know we had the same losses. Hilarious. Just stupid AF.

These are the kinds of fans who answer "Jerry Rice" when you ask them who made The Catch.

You could ask me who the starting quarterback was for the Seahawks in any season they've ever played and I'd know on the fly, even those shitty years in the mid to late 90s, because I was actually watching the games in person and it felt like my mom just got murdered in front of me every time the Hawks would trot out some nobody to replace the last guy. Haven't missed any but a few games in my life. My weeks are ruined when they lose and the entire 90s was a decade when I often wondered if it would be better if I just jumped off the Aurora bridge than buy another season ticket. But I kept going. Unlike these spineless cuddlefish.

But you ask one of these assclowns who quarterbacked the Niners just LAST SEASON and 8 out of 10 of them don't know. The Jets, bills, browns, Lions, and Bucs have better fans than that. The whiners are the NFL equivalent of the Lakers. Being a Niners fan is a fashion choice. Something grown men do because they wanna wear the tackiest clothing ever, drive around in a rented Miata, pose for a selfie, and put it on Instagram. It's literally the stupidest lamest most unrespectable half assed lame fanbase in the entire NFL. The fact they didn't know our starting TE was balling out and then went on IR is just laughable to me. That's not a football fan. That's someone who goes to football games to get drunk and punch someone into a coma in a bathroom. The Niners fanbase is the last remaining vestige of the Neanderthal species. Slow, dumb, and easily entertained by shiny objects.

We've owned that lame stadium since they opened it and I'm supposed to give them respect? For what? We had 40,000 fans filling into Husky stadium immediately after that POS Ken Behring (may he spend eternity being ass raped by donkeys and yes, I literally hope that is true) tried to send our team to Los Angeles. We still had more fans in our stadium. We didn't win a championship until a few years ago. Our fans our real fans. I go to a game at the clink and I see people I've known for over 30 years. Passionate fans who've earned the right to talk shit. People who know more about Niners history than any Niners fan I've ever met. And I'd put money on it.

Take these 1% posters on this forum, and I'll match them against a handful of guys who've been going to games since the Kingdome was raining cieling tiles on fools, and I would literally bet $10k those Seahawk fans would kill these clowns at Niners history trivia. Heck, I have patients with dementia that know more about the Niners than all those posters you mentioned and I'd bet literal money on it. I would PAY that money just to laugh while watching Seahawk fans school these pathetic fairweather bitches on their own teams history.

These assholes show up when their team starts playing well and disappear when they suck. They were rooting for the Patriots last season. These are the kinds of pricks that punch someone and run away. Or sucker punch a dude in a bathroom and keep hitting him after he falls down. Take 90% of that Niners crowd, throw them in a gas chamber, and it would have literally zero impact on the world.

There is nothing on this Earth more loathsome and pathetic than a grown man in a Niners Jersey.

And just for you, I've changed my Avatar. I was trying to be meta. I wanted to be clever. But you're right. It's time to bust out the HK pistol and take over Nakatomi Plaza. All these whiner fans are that hurt that tried to negotiate with Hans Gruber. Think they're real clever. Useless stupid pricks every one of them.

I'm an Iowa fan so I love George Kittle (was pissed the Niners drafted him), but that was way too much Monday night.

According to their logic, dependent on only 2 players?

Bollux.

Go packers and everyone else against them.

The way the defense was flying around, SF is probably lucky Kittle wasn't in there. I remember a hard hitting game against NE when the LOB put Gronk out for the regulars season. Diggs and Clowney are game changers. Period. Whether Kittle is on the field or not, we win that game. Zach Ertz is going to learn that lesson the hard way in a couple of weeks.

They could have claimed Josh Gordon but passed......Too bad....hahahahaha
