I'm willing to give credit where it's due, but Jordan Love has had a free ride in the playoffs to this point. First the Cowboys and now ther 9ers' "vaunted" defenses have left guys high school wide open. Add in the PIs and it really doesn't get much easier.

Bills benefited from a huge return, so it’s a wash. I expect a lot of Kittle And C-Mac this drive.

The level of defensive back play in the league has never been worse. Atrocious.

Purdy looking very rusty… he keeps having balls sailing on him.
Seems crazy to say, but should Shannahan consider putting Darnold in? Purdy hasn't demonstrated the ability to come from behind all season, and if the Packers score again here I don't see him pulling it off.

Love picked off but that was a dumb move by the LB to keep running around like that so sloppily, the ball could've easily came out.

Nice play there. Have to start working Kittle
Into the game more. He is 3-3 for 73 yards. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to realize he may be the key to victory

Someone please explain to me how they ignorred Cmac on that horrible drive? You can't become one dimensional. The Niners have
the leading rb in the NFL. Use him. The defense needs rest. If the Packers keep blitzing it will result in a big play eventually.

Purdy has had several balls sail and has had pressure in his face all night. Shanihan is just way too cutsy. He needs to reduce his stupid play sheet to two plays - CMC runs and play action pass to Kittle. It just seems like he makes Purdy's job so difficult for no reason.

What is Brock Purdy's hand size? I remember the great Rich Gannon had small hands and always had trouble in the wet weather.

Spot on.

And Purdy is clearly struggling today. So don’t put the game in his hands…

Purdy is wearing a glove to help him hold onto the ball but yeah, he's been way off target tonight so far.

BTW just occured to me, 3/4 TDs were scored by white dudes.

Seems like a Shanahan special to avoid running the ball late in big games. 28-3, SB 54, 2021 NFC championship, and last year's NFC championship. Now this game is following the same pattern. Shanahan's stubborn insistence to keep passing the ball late in close playoff games has yielded disastrous consequences.

Heavy dose of CMC should be coming up.
Especially when your qb isn’t at top performance
