A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Let’s Do This

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on January 30, 2022

In lockdown mode today. Focused. This reminds me a little bit of 2014 Giants. I didn’t allow myself to get excited because I didn’t believe in them—at least, until we got to the World Series. Same thing with this Niner team. Didn’t believe. Still don’t know how they got here. For Jimmy, no matter what, all is forgiven. How great would this be?????

I went for a run to burn off some nervous energy. That is Stanford Stadium back there.

If you drew a line from where I was through the tall tree on the middle-left and into the stadium you’d be sitting in the same spot me and my dad sat in 37 years ago for the Super Bowl vs the Dolphins. Man, I remember that day like it was yesterday. Our favorite sports teams are responsible for so many great memories, right?

    Jimmy needs a solid game. 20-34, 320, 2 TDs, no picks. If we can run, we win. Pressure Stafford and he gags.

    • Flavor said, on January 30, 2022 at 9:07 am

      Highly doubt he comes close to 320. Maybe 220. Kyle’s gonna run the ball 40 times today

  2. Winder said, on January 30, 2022 at 9:12 am

    It really doesn’t get much better than this. In the words of Jimmy ‘never get to high or low stay humble and play football.’ I still see this one as a nail biter.

  3. Giant Head said, on January 30, 2022 at 9:37 am

    Maybe runs 80 times. I think we all had seen later half of the season our weak link our Achilles Heel is our secondary. Was continually exposed even by the likes of Matt Ryan but in the playoffs the ineptitude of Dak and the Cowboys coaching failed to exploit it and even with Davante Adams making plays in the first half last week, the weather conditions hid our blind weakness.

    I fear Cooper Kupp is going to run amok. Without Bumgarner carrying us in his back in that WS, I agree may have been the one WS with less confidence and it took us 7 games. Will be a stunner in my mind to win this and beat them three times in one year. Staying away from betting against the Niners and hope I am wrong but can see the Rams winning by 10.

    • Winder said, on January 30, 2022 at 10:33 am

      Pretty sure our DB’s got better as the season progressed. I believe it’s gonna be decided by either our or their defensive lines.

  4. Bozo said, on January 30, 2022 at 9:56 am

    I’ll see your locked down mode and raise ya a locked and loaded mode. Gameday, ayeeee!

  5. alleykat69 said, on January 30, 2022 at 10:21 am

    I’m in lockdown with my bar all day,starting with a Bloody Mary!
    Hey there red and their golden like the 49ers!!!
    Looking at the news yesterday it’s definitely going to be a “FULL NINERS TAKEOVER AT SOFI”!
    With SF airport even having Yosemite Sam and a 49er fans banging drums, and the airline giving out game towels they were in full force, along with a Niner’s sports bar in LA showing a line half way down the block just to get in!

    Definitely pound the Football with Mitchell (25 carries he can handle the load) Samuel 8 times and sprinkle in Juice! Time of Possession is what’s won these games in the last 6 straight wins,control that and u should win!
    Middle of the Field with Kittle should be there with slants as well, just no freaking sideline throws that can get picked easily! Bottom line the players all believe in Jimmy when they’re huddled up,so I will too!Bang Bang Niner Gang!!

  6. willedav said, on January 30, 2022 at 10:53 am

    battle won or lost by both lines, and hopefully someone like Warner or Bosa channeling inner Pablo and doing damage with bunch of hits.

  7. Winder said, on January 30, 2022 at 12:25 pm

    Flavor- I still thank the stars my dad was a Giants/49ers fan. He took me to all my first games and am grateful for all the memories.

  8. Bozo said, on January 30, 2022 at 12:43 pm

    What a play by Mahomes.

  9. alleykat69 said, on January 30, 2022 at 1:04 pm

    Chiefs on fire 🔥 as Mahomes already has 3 TD passes ( 13-14 for 154 yards already)as they’re smoking The Bengals 21-3!!

    • unca_chuck said, on January 30, 2022 at 2:57 pm

      Not anymore. Cincy should let KC score tho.

  10. unca_chuck said, on January 30, 2022 at 2:57 pm

    I just thank God our next door neighbor in the Highlands was a Niner season ticket holder. Went to 3 games at Kezar in 1968 and ’69. Colts, Packers, and Colts. East end zone. Closer to the Stadium Pub. Johnny U and Bart Starr. Just wish I had seen the Bears and Gayle Sayers. Saw the ’72 playoffs as well.

    KC officials are really swallowing a lot of flags.

    • unca_chuck said, on January 30, 2022 at 3:21 pm

      But the ONE TIME they have a Super Bowl here I was living in Colorado.

  11. unca_chuck said, on January 30, 2022 at 3:01 pm

    Wow. Cincy’s defense is doing well. One more stand.

  12. unca_chuck said, on January 30, 2022 at 3:04 pm

    Coin flip decides it..

  13. unca_chuck said, on January 30, 2022 at 3:19 pm

    Wow. mahomes looked like shit on those passes.

  14. Macdog said, on January 30, 2022 at 3:21 pm

    What a comeback, congrats to the Bengals, It’s also good to see stupidity get rewarded, and Reid passing up the FG late in the first half was as dumb as it gets.

    • unca_chuck said, on January 30, 2022 at 3:22 pm

      I will say, Shanny learned his lesson after that first AZ game not to burn points to chase points.

  15. unca_chuck said, on January 30, 2022 at 3:21 pm

    Part one of the plan has been reached.

  16. alleykat69 said, on January 30, 2022 at 3:25 pm

    Congrats to Bengals losing the coin toss is usually a death blow!
    But man they were a beast with their defense., and Mahomes was running for his life more then even Fran Tarkenton!! First half not scoring before the half was the momentum changer for The Bengals imo

  17. Winder said, on January 30, 2022 at 3:33 pm

    Glad for the Bengals. Looks like they are gonna be a force for next few years.

  18. alleykat69 said, on January 30, 2022 at 3:47 pm

    Loo I’m sorry for you.Just drink your sorrows away and avoid suicide watch!
    Tough one to swallow for sure after dominating early and then Reid and Mahomes brain fart not taking the 3 and getting stopped to end the half changed the game momentum wise.. Hang in there 😥

  19. Giant Head said, on January 30, 2022 at 3:55 pm

    Huge blunder by KC before the half. I did not bet either game but would have teased KC to -.5 and would have been my first loss bet this playoffs. I would have been steamed as well.

  20. Giant Head said, on January 30, 2022 at 3:55 pm

    That Bengal upset gives me a small bit of hope for the Niners but not a great start.

  21. Giant Head said, on January 30, 2022 at 3:56 pm

    Niners with the first big play!!!

  22. Winder said, on January 30, 2022 at 3:57 pm

    It’s gonna be a dogfight.

  23. Giant Head said, on January 30, 2022 at 4:01 pm

    Hopefully I reversed jinxed us.

  24. James said, on January 30, 2022 at 4:29 pm

    97 yards, the defense has been on the field most of the game.

    • willedav said, on January 30, 2022 at 4:53 pm

      very true.

  25. Irish Kevin said, on January 30, 2022 at 5:56 pm

    Why aren’t they double teaming Kupp

  26. James said, on January 30, 2022 at 6:00 pm

    The Rams have not punted. The pass defense is non existent.

    • James said, on January 30, 2022 at 6:06 pm

      Check that, one punt.

  27. James said, on January 30, 2022 at 6:18 pm

    Unlike with Reid, stupidity pays for McVay thanks to Tarrt. That’s as big a choke on a big play as I’ve seen.

  28. snarkk said, on January 30, 2022 at 6:37 pm

    You can only go so far with a QB that’s mediocre.
    Hard to beat a team 3 times in a season.
    Tartt’s drop of that sure INT was disastrous…

  29. Bozo said, on January 30, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    Buy your ticket, take the ride.
    Fucking hell.
    Go Cinci.

  30. Giant Head said, on January 30, 2022 at 6:39 pm

    John Lynch: “Hey Tom how are you. What are you doing next year????”

  31. snarkk said, on January 30, 2022 at 6:43 pm

    How appropriate, Jimmy G goes out, ends Niners career throwing a dumb pick.
    But, he wasn’t the only reason they lost. The D couldn’t get off the field, too many Ram successful 3rd downs…

  32. Flavor said, on January 30, 2022 at 6:44 pm

    Tartt drop was huge but that’s how games go. It was a sign. And Jimmy rides off into the sunset. What a weird niner career he had.

    • zumiee said, on January 30, 2022 at 6:51 pm

      The guy has movie star good-looks. It just seemed like he had to be a QB of destiny. But it never really turned into that.

  33. zumiee said, on January 30, 2022 at 6:50 pm

    Two very evenly matched teams. Tonight’s game reminds me a bit of that game vs. the NY Giants in the conference final when the Niner dude fumbled twice in the 4th quarter.

    • zumiee said, on January 30, 2022 at 6:54 pm

      On two kick returns.

  34. zumiee said, on January 30, 2022 at 6:55 pm

    On to baseball season! Oh wait….

  35. Winder said, on January 30, 2022 at 6:56 pm

    I am surprised we made it this far but to lose like that really sucks. Go Cincy.

  36. djloo27 said, on January 30, 2022 at 7:05 pm

    I think fat Andy and Shanny both need to move on.
    What a shit fuckin day…

    • Macdog said, on January 30, 2022 at 7:07 pm

      The Aussie Open final was tremendous, though.

      • djloo27 said, on January 30, 2022 at 7:14 pm

        And I did kick a little ass at my new favorite track, Sam Houston…

  37. unca_chuck said, on January 30, 2022 at 7:07 pm

    Fucking Shanahan snatches defeat from the jaws of victory yet again. He is a major league idiot. The 2nd to last drive with the score tied, we got a delay of game and 2 other plays with 00 on the play clock, and Shanny is doing nothing to get the team a play. Or call a tinme out to get something figured out.

    2nd and 1? Up the middle 1 yard loss. 3rd down and 1.5? Run up the middle 0 yards. Brilliant.

    • djloo27 said, on January 30, 2022 at 7:13 pm

      Shanny & Reid starring in:

      • Macdog said, on January 30, 2022 at 7:45 pm

        Wasn’t exactly a gem for McVay, either.

  38. paul sorensen said, on January 30, 2022 at 7:13 pm

    “And Jimmy rides off into the sunset. What a weird niner career he had.” Indeed it was weird, wasn’t it. I remember being pissed off when NE let Jimmy go instead of ushering the Brady era out the door at that time. Figured you guys had your QB for the foreseeable future. Seems like it was a love/hate relationship with him here on the Flap. At any rate, ya’ll should be feeling pretty good about Niners’ future.

  39. unca_chuck said, on January 30, 2022 at 7:16 pm

    Jed needs to fucking move on from Shanahan. He is kryptonite to big wins.

    • Flavor said, on January 30, 2022 at 7:28 pm

      he really is. He just can’t close the deal. It’s amazing.

  40. unca_chuck said, on January 30, 2022 at 7:21 pm

    What got this team rolling weeks and weeks ago was misdirection runs with Aiyuk and Deebo. Haven’t seen one in 3 weeks.. 2nd and 1. Hmmm. Should we do something different? Naaah. Let’s run up the middle with 9 in the box. 3rd and 1. Should we play action? No, let’s run against 10 guys in the box.

    Stupid fuck.

  41. unca_chuck said, on January 30, 2022 at 7:22 pm

    The 2nd to last drive, no one anywhere knew what was going on. We got a delay of game and the other 2 plays that were snapped with 00 on the clock. Shanny never called a timeout to get shit figured out. Stupid fuck.

    • Flavor said, on January 30, 2022 at 7:45 pm

      he was terrible. It’s insane how he got leads in 2 super bowls and this game and he just pissed it all away. Just astounding.

  42. Giant Head said, on January 30, 2022 at 7:48 pm

    That second to last drive what I have been raging on with my buddies. Awful awful play calls. Did they not this whole week prep plays for exactly these last possessions??? The 2nd down play why the fuck is there a receiver Jennings on a 2nd 15 out on the sidelines as a safety valve???? Every receiver should have been down field on that. I am mentally ready to move on from Shanahan but don’t see ownership and management ready.

  43. mrsprtdude said, on January 30, 2022 at 8:04 pm

    Shanahan a blessing and curse. he is the Jimmy g of coaching. Wins a lot but cant finish. i was so irritated by the end. Deebo as a RB is ok as a change, not half the plays. If he is in the backfield it is a run. because if they cover Aiyuk there is no threat. For some amazing reason Kittles targets dropped and dropped. Isn’t he open all the damn time? 2 catches? Really? One reason the game is as close as it was is because today McVey was even dumber than Shanahan, and that’s hard to do.

  44. djloo27 said, on January 30, 2022 at 8:18 pm

    One of the few good things about getting old is that it’s a lot easier to shake off these games and put them in perspective. The game is pretty upsetting until you notice that one of your balls has disappeared and both of your thumbs stopped working…

  45. unca_chuck said, on January 30, 2022 at 9:06 pm

    This one hurts. Such a fucking waste. And the powers that be won’t pinpoint that Shanahan is the fucking problem.

    What annoys me and I’ve been saying this for a while, SHANNY stops doing what works. 3 slants. 3 completions. Well, let’s not do that anymore. No misdirection plays at all. And the run game was negated because every run was between the tackles.

  46. paul sorensen said, on January 30, 2022 at 9:36 pm

    Anyone know anyone in the world who back in September picked Bengals and Rams in the Super Bowl?

    • djloo27 said, on January 30, 2022 at 9:45 pm

      Pretty much just a gambler’s Super Bowl.
      Fox was probably hoping for SF-KC rematch…
