We now turn to the offseason and what becomes of Jimmy G, and a number of guys with uncertain futures.
Bullies From The Bay
The #49ers punch their ticket to a second NFC Championship Game in 3 seasons, beating the Number 1 seed Green Bay Packers 13-10 in sub-zero temperatures. They now head to LA to face the Rams for the right to play in the Super Bowl.
Bully Ball
The #49ers head to Green Bay after a high drama Wild Card round win over the Dallas Cowboys. A familiar playoff foe in back-to-back weeks for the 49ers can they get it done?
Ticket Punched
The #49ers get to 10 wins, and they did so in the most difficult way possible. They secure a playoff spot, they are headed to Dallas for Super Wild Card Weekend. The rollercoaster season continues for the Niners.
Playoff Mode
Week 18- Win and you are in! The #49ers control their own destiny after a rollercoaster ride of a season they find themselves in a must-win situation. Is it going to be Lance or Jimmy G on Sunday? What is the status of Jimmy's thumb injury and will this season be deemed a failure if the #49ers miss the playoffs?
Next Chapter
Week 17, Niners vs Texans the #49ers basically control their own destiny. It's been a wild few days with the 49ers as Jimmy G sustained a UCL tear in his thumb, was the Titans' loss, Jimmy's final start? Is it Lance from here on out? Its been a long, bizarre, and somewhat exciting season and we have 2 weeks remaining.
Calm, Urgency
The #49ers find themselves fighting for a Wild Card spot for the, 2021, playoffs. With 4 games left can they hold on, and or secure the 5th seed by winning out. What is next for the Niners and Dee Ford? How are they going to move forward at cornerback? A lot to ask from this team, but there is a calm urgency about them.
Rollercoaster
The #49ers find their way back into the win column after a 26-23 thriller in Cincinnati to defeat the Bengals and get to 7-6 with 4 games left. Can they catch the Rams for the 5 seed? Kittle dominance can it continue? Deebo and Aiyuk a scary combination for the 49ers.
Resilient
Resurgence
No Vaseline
The #49ers absolutely rout the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football with a 31-10 victory to keep the season alive. How do they move forward? Was Monday a fluke or a sign of things to come?
Kitchen Sink
The #49ers are reeling, and they need to right the ship, but here come the Los Angeles Rams, who recently acquired Odell Beckham Jr. The 49ers season hangs in the balance versus the Rams on Monday Night Football, can they respond? We are joined by Jason Aponte of the Sprint Right Option Podcast as we navigate through this mess of a 2021 NFL season.
Jimmy Wheels
The 49ers pull out a 33-22 win in Chicago vs the Bears ending a 4 game losing streak, but has much changed? Is this team a contender? Have they woken up? How much longer of a leash did Jimmy G get? The Arizona Cardinals come to Levi's for another must-win game for the 49ers.
Tick Tock
The #49ers fall to 2-4 and are searching for answers. Jimmy G seems to not be the answer and Trey Lance is on the mend and expected to return in some capacity as they head to Chicago to face the Bears in a Week 8 matchup that is a must-win for both teams.
What's Going On?
The #49ers are at a crossroads going into Week 7. What do we make of the team thus far through 5 weeks and how do they correct it? How much stress is on this team with the pending QB decision looming?
Encouraged
The #49ers dropped their third straight game, and fall to 2-3. Trey Lance's debut did not go as planned, but there was a ton to be encouraged about. Kyle Shanahan has a decision to make coming out of the bye week vs the Colts... Jimmy G or Trey Lance.
It Is Time
The #49ers head to Arizona at 2-2, in what is a must-win game and potentially Trey Lance's first start of his career. A lot of pressure on the rookie in a division matchup vs the Cardinals.
Lance Dance
The #49ers fall to the Seattle Seahawks and fall to 2-2 on the season. An unexpected injury to Jimmy G forces Lance into action. Brutal way to lose but the rookie showed promise and is expected to start vs Arizona. Has the Lance era begun? What is next for Jimmy G?
Not Yet
It's Seahawk Week! The #49ers are coming off a heartbreaker and need to keep pace in the division. Seattle has lost 2 straight, this is going to be a dog fight. Must win for both teams and it's only Week 4.
Gut Wrenching
The #49ers fall to the Packers 30-28. Slow start dumb mistakes cost this team. 49ers pass rush was non-existent, and the secondary was abysmal. What is next? Oh, Seattle comes to town.
Home Sweet Home
The #49ers return home 2-0, to take on the Green Bay Packers in Week 3 on #SNF. The last time the #49ers played in front of fans it was the NFC Championship Game against the Packers. The Faithful will be loud and proud at Levi's. To add to it, its 1994 Red Throwback Night. The 49ers need this win and to make a statement on National TV.
Slugfest
The #49ers walk out of Lincoln Financial Field with the dub, which was a hard-fought defensive battle, the Niners win 17-11 and head back to California 2-0.
Motown Philly
The #49ers head to Philly 1-0, after a nailbiter in Detroit. They go in wounded with the loss of Verrett and Mostert. but they have insulated themselves well with depth. We discuss Kinlaw not practicing again, and what is going on with Brandon Aiyuk? Can Jimmy replicate his Week 1 performance in Philly? The Niners need to keep pace in the NFC West.
Too Comfortable
The #49ers defeat the Detroit Lions 41-33 in Week 1, but it was anything short of easy. Of course, they don't come out of this game clean as they likely lose Jason Verrett for the season with an ACL tear. What do the Niners do at Corner moving forward?
It's Official, I Guess
