Week 18: Niners v. Rams / Quick Postgame Thoughts

(…from my running sports diary. Check out the full blog post here.)

After the Niners got down 17-0, that huge 3rd down sack by Bosa and Armstead turned the momentum. The Niners dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides. Mad props to the offensive line without their all-world LT Trent Williams was HUGE! The d-line DOMINATED after that key 3rd down stop. For all the shit I gave Jimmy G, he showed a ton of heart especially on that last drive with less than 2 minutes and no timeouts left. Deebo is an ABSOLUTE MONSTER!!! He left it all on the field today and was the best player on the field…EASILY. Jauan Jennings stepped up big time with the game of his life! Jennings had clutch grabs! The DB’s have gotten so much better! I’m so happy for Ambry Thomas as he looked shaky being forced into action with how depleted our defensive backfield looked early in the season. He has turned into a legit starting corner and came up with the biggest play of his young career.

I am so proud of this team. I wrote this team off when they lost to a Murray-less and Hopkins-less Cardinals team. They showed absolutely no heart up until that point. After that game, they started playing smash-mouth Niners football. They started bullying teams starting with the Monday Night home game against the Rams. It’s only fitting that it took another major win against the Rams at an unofficial home game that propelled them into the playoffs. Last MVP, the NINER FAITHFUL!!!! The Niner Faithful showed up big-time at SoFi Stadium. It was Candlestick South (and yes, I know that the Niners play at Levi’s). The Niner Faithful brought back the ghosts of the Niners past all the way back from Candlestick Park. Four more wins! Up next: the hated Cowboys! On to the next one…
