where is Gibbs?

He was out there on the 4th down TD.

Season’s over for them, so why not?

True,I guess no downside. But against this Lions defense they could keep trying regular plays and still get highlight reel tape out of it.

3 stops for this defense tonight. Impressive.

#16 with the block!!! Ugliest looking block I've ever seen.... but a block!

Nice obstruction by Goff on that run!

[MichiganCardinal]

I'm not a big play call complainer, but I don't get that play call.

how big has jake bates been for this team?  what a find.  thanks michigan panthers!

2nd down was bad throw.  3rd down was a bad play call.  Weird series. 

[RandyMarsh]

That 2nd down throw to Williams had a chance to be big, unfortunately it was a rare bad throw by Goff.

Maybe getting the 1st or setting up for 4th…?

I didn't like the 3rd down play call, but the thought was they probably get like 5 yards and make it a manageable 4th down. The 2nd down play, Williams had a lot of space. That could have been a TD if he breaks one tackle.

Bates is already a meme. 

[Jason_R]

They had three cracks at him and finally a guy I never heard of brought him down. 

[Sports_Freak]

A sack?? Is that...legal?

[MichiganCardinal]

That was an early flag, it was thrown with a second left. Making up for Baltimore in 2021?

[MichiganCardinal]

They just look exhausted.

[TP_Fan]

It’s 2nd and 20 and the niners easily get the first. That’s slightly disappointing.  

[Motown Bombers]

I can't believe how many passes there are where you can hardly see a Lion player in frame. 

[TP_Fan]

Misdirection, kettle open for 20 yards every single time. You’d think that maybe Aaron Glenn would coach his players on that play that the Niners have ran at will with zero adjustments all night. 

[Jason_R]

Pull your head out Branch. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Bench Branch. I mean it. He's costing us points.

[lordstanley]

C’mon, Branch. Dumb dumb. 

[Jason_R]

Oh Kerby. My hero.
