The common thread between Cupp’s near record season and Calvin Johnson’s is the QB: Matt Stafford.

It would have been nice for Cupp to have gotten the record but these records won’t last. As they keep adding games to the schedule the records will all fall. Even Cupp had an additional game to reach the record.

Also Johnson was playing on a non playoff team so they could feed him the ball the last few games. The Rams had something to play for. Still you wonder if it had been someone like Beckham, for instance, chasing the record how well 7 targets would have been perceived.

Right. The Rams were fighting for as high as the number two seed while San Fran was battling to get in the playoffs at all. Kupp's stats for the game were consistent with the way he was used all season and were appropriate for the game flow with the 49ers putting tons of pressure on Stafford. Kupp's 118 yards in the game, pro-rated over the course of a 17 game season comes to, ironically enough, 2,006 yards.

We have some posters here, who if they hit Powerball for $300 million, would be bitching that it should have been $500 million. Let's agree from this point to just celebrate Kupp's great season, far and away the best by a White receiver in the history of CF. The negative nellies have had their say over and over, so leave it at that.

Hey guys, haven't posted here for a while. I'm sort of getting into football. Of the fourteen teams going into the playoffs which ones do we want to win the most and which ones do we want to lose the most? I'm sort of hoping Brady wins again because I remember all the whining and butthurt there was on social media when he won last year.

Hey! The Rams, Bills, Bengals, Packers, Raiders, Steelers, Titans are all teams I could make arguments for. Cowboys, Cardinals
, Chiefs and Eagles are teams to root against. 49ers if they start Jimmy G can be supported too.

I agree with the four teams you don't want to win (-:

Fortunately, none of the four quota teams play each other next week, meaning that there's a chance of all of them being knocked out before the Divisional Round.
