The 49ers succumbed to the howls of the mob and drafted Lance instead of Mac Jones.

Don don’t you agree that Kupp is one of the most elite route runners in the league and is nearly impossible to cover? Why would he only be targeted 4 times?

Looking forward to seeing Kupp break the record in overtime...

The reality is they didn't need to draft either. Jimmy G is a franchise QB, they could have drafted a developmental guy like Trask or Mills without having to trade away so many picks. Or they could of stayed where they were and drafted Jones. They gave up 2 future 1st round picks (along with the 2021 pick) and a 2022 3rd rounder.

He targeted kupp 4 times in the 2nd half while featuring Sony who was averaging .2 ypc and tripping in the 2nd half. There is no way Jerry rice or Calvin Johnson would have put up with that bs.
Actually, Michel has been exceptionally good all season averaging 4.3 yards per carry and Kupp and Higbee had 12 receptions and 3 TD's between them. The rest of the Rams receivers 7 receptions and 0 TD's. As bad as I want Kupp to break the record, I think Mcvey has featured his white TE and WR pretty well.

Totally disagree, he had a fine game, per usual. Looks like the Rams are getting the ball back now.

The Rams have all the incentive to win - if they do they play a trevor semian led Saints team instead of the 49ers. Come on Kupp!

He had a excellent game no argument there!
7 targets and 7 receptions for a Td. It’s the targets that are the problem. When a all time record is at stake. Now a throw to Beckham.

He's injured too often for a QB, can't blame the 49ers for drafting one, they just took the wrong one.

Sony has 20 attempts averaging 2.0 per carry. Kupp has 7 attempts. Not right for the best receiver in he nfl

Kupp needs 2 receptions realistically. But he’s the best so he’ll get them.

Are you watching the game or just following the stats? Serious question. Kupp has about half of Stafford's passing yards in this game. If the 49ers lose they're out of the playoffs. There's a lot at stake in this game and they've played hard and put Stafford under a lot of pressure, yet Kupp has shined yet again.

Great season for Cooper but I share everyone’s disappointment that he feel just short. Really thought he’d get a catch or two in OT.

Regarding the Rams, I’m legitimately worried about their playoff chances. Their offense was better when Henderson and Woods were healthy. OBJ is obviously a huge downgrade at number 2 vs Woods, who was consistent.

Hopefully I’m wrong and they can make a super bowl run.

Yeah I watched the whole 2nd half and seen Sony and Akers slip multiple times in the backfield and had 25 attempts between the two of them. Kupp was targeted 7 times in the game and caught all 7 and had 1 carry for 18 yards. I honestly believe that Kupp is a Jerry rice type talent and the more times he touches the ball the better he and his team would be. Do you believe that the rams would be better off featuring Sony and Akers or Kupp?
