2013 NFC Championship Game: #2 San Francisco 49ers at #1 Atlanta Falcons

I think it's fixed because of the story. If the Niners and Pats go, the NFL can't sell the brother thing. LOL@not making sense. You don't want it to make sense.

Show proof instead of basing it off of assumptions because of the "story". You haven't gave any examples in the game. So yea you aren't making any sense. You act like the NFL can't sell anything else. They would be sucking off Brady and BB if they were in the game. Guess you wouldn't want to see a Manning vs Manning super bowl either.

Why? It's my assumption. I thought the Kaepernick head blow call was highly questionable. Look, I'm happy for you and your team for making it. It's kind of funny, the guy who started talking about the fix being on was a Packer fan I work with. I'm not slam dunking it, it's just a question I think about. I think a Brady and BB Superbowl isn't as exciting or sellable as a brother v brother Superbowl, add in the Ray Lewis factor, and the NFL I'm sure has a hard on for this match up.

I kind of want dual Harbaugh tantrums leading to both of their heads exploding.

LOL at suggesting the game was fixed. Incosistently officiated at times, sure, but that's just general NFL referee incompetency and the convoluted rule book at play. I think the contact on Roddy on the last 4th-and-4 could have gone either way, but I didn't bother to scrutinize the replay frame by frame to see how much contact was being made while the ball was in the air. They seemed to be letting the DBs use their hands pretty liberally throughout the game on both sides, so whatevz.

Either way, if you need a bail out penalty to win a home game when you were up 17-0, you probably don't deserve to win anyway. To sit here and blame the loss on one single call, breaking it down frame by frame with screen shots would be BigBucs-level heaux shit.

49ers had a more well constructed team after the top 4-5 spots. Other than a pretty good QB and arguably the best trio of pass catchers in the league, the Falcons were basically a 7-9, 8-8 team everywhere else. It's actually amazing what those four guys were able to accomplish this year, and particularly in yesterday's game, saddled with a mediocre (at best) offensive line, running game and defense. The talent discrepancy at the LOS on both sides was pretty staggering, but somehow the Falcons were right there. RIGHT THERE.

Pretty confident that Dimitroff will make upgrades at the needed spots.

Well said. The teams weakness are pretty obvious too. I'm confident as well in TD to make the right moves. They need to be aggressive this offseason.

Nolan will definitely want more chess pieces to scheme with in the front 7, that's a given, and we need to improve the OL and bring in a running back to replace Turner as the compliment to Quizz. Then there's the obvious glaring hole that Tony G will leave. Luckily this draft class is pretty deep at our positions of need and we'll be in a position where we can sit back and wait to see who falls in our laps in a given round.
