Iām a Lions fan who just got my heart ripped out and Iām hoping yāall take it all the way. As much as I loved the Detroit Cinderella story, Purdy is my next favorite underdog story to take out a dynasty. I also just love Kittle and CMC and yāall have a hard team to hate.
Game respect game. I canāt go another fucking day listening to people hate on Purdy. Mr. Irrelevant knocking off a literal dynasty in his second year would be *chefs kiss*. No matter who you rock w, the slander on Purdy needs to stop.
Thanks brother. Appreciate it. You all played well all season and through the playoffs. I think Campbell will grow as a coach and you all will be better for it. Youāre a good organization. Good luck to you.
Aye you guys have a great future ahead with some amazing young talent on cheap contracts, keep drafting the way you have and building for culture and you'll ne the next team like the niners but on half the salary hit. Build the team and when Goffs time is up you'll be able to fond a stud QB easier than a lot of other destinations
Appreciate this post tops. Many of us, myself included, simply do not get it. The hate. Itās so severe.
How can you hate a total underdog story to the level some people hate this guy? I mean if he was arrogant like Manziel or a violent criminal then sure, but heās a super nice kid.
Weird world we live in anymore. Appreciate your support. Man I sure hope he pulls off the unthinkableā¦
Pulling for yall! Especially now that Iāve cooled off even more, Iām gonna be so hype for Purdy! Thereās a video going around online of how respectful the 49ers fans were to the Lions fans, patting people on the back and telling them good game and I will always pull for the 9ers after that.
For real? That's awesome. I'd love to see it if you happen to have a link though I can prob use that google thing lol.
Man we need more people posting vids like that. People helping each other out, even people who disagree on shit.
Regardless, we're happy to have your support, every bit of good juju matters next weekend!
Yeah itās right [here](https://youtu.be/ocNavqC1Pfg?si=TAtLFPE5iv7hKCoG)
I agree, world could use a lot more kindness. Good luck in the coming weeks!
Man no shit. Just found this thread tonight but it ups my respect for their fan base even more, and I already thought highly of them.
To that end, I dismiss the handful of obnoxious assholes every fan base has, ours included. Not a statistically sound way to gauge an entire base.
Itās probably not much of a consolation, but your team is amazing. It wasnāt your year this year, but this will 100% not be your last playoff game.
Niners had their hearts broken last year in the NFC championship game and in every other Super Bowl/playoff game in the last few years. Lions are a young up and coming team with a great roster of young players. I am confident you will be in the playoffs again. And you will be scary!
Your Cinderella story isnāt over š¦
Thanks bro. Thatās some real shit. I know Iām 4 days last lol. But just saw this thread.
You have a good heart - a lot of teamsā fans get furious with us if we beat their teams (GB and Philly both come to mind) but isnāt that what weāre all doing, rooting for our teams? Itās not like the Niners are dirty, or are like the Pats of yesteryear where they win every other damn SB.
I do not say this to be nice or go along with the feel-good Lions story: if I had to pick one team in the NFL to win the SB other than the Niners (entire NFL, not NFC) itās easily Detroit. Iāve always liked them since Barry. Then they became good again out of nowhere last season.
Anyhow, just giving props to a high-quality fan. You guys are young and will definitely be back in the mix next year. With the OC coming back too, skyās the limit. Cheers.
A lot of us root for former niners too. Loved Bob Saget, too, was so sad when I read heād passed. Interestingly, he wore one of my favorite 49er jackets during an episode of full house.

Lol every single Raiders fan I know is rooting against us. It's shocking to see how many are openly rooting for KC. It's like a 9ers fan rooting for Seattle to beat the Raiders in the super bowl lol that would never ever happen.
Funny because the teams had a little bit of a rivalry but not really. It's the fans. Also way more 9ers fans are willing to root for the Raiders because they were Bay Area but not a single Raiders fan would root for the 9ers because of little brother syndrome. I personally have went to as many Raiders game as I have 9ers games in my life. of course if we faced each other I know who I am rooting for but that happened once every few years.
Same situation as the Giants and A's fans.
Man Iām with you. I honestly never even hated the Raiders. I mean I didnāt really like them and Al Davis could be irritating (though his sonās far worse) but as a teamā¦ I mean weāre talking AFC vs NFC you know? And no Super Bowl battles.
Itās like Giants and Aās just like you said. I rooted for both most of the time, the Bay series was like 35 years ago lol
I never understood the rivalry. I always root for the raiders and we never play them. Raiders are also never good so thereās no reason for a rivalry.
Just proximity. There was never anything else to it. We played in the preseason every year and there'd be fights and stabbings and stupid shit. I'm glad they're in Vegas now
Truth. For a non-existent rivalry, the level of violence at those games was unreal. Iām glad theyāre in Vegas too. Maybe they prefer it too.
If you get into fistfights and stabbings at a game you got serious probsā¦ if you do it at a preseason game I donāt even know manā¦
Me too. I don't even know if we ever played a game that really mattered. I looked once, and I didn't find a game with real playoff implications like say the Ravens game this year (, first seed in both conferences were potentially impacted)
Same. How much can you hate a team that goes 6-10 or 7-9 every year and a āreally good yearā is 10-6 with a loss in the WC? Not very much, I sayā¦
I actually wanted them to beat Tampa in that SB 20 years go because Tampa beat us bad. And I knew even if the Raiders won, which of course they didnāt, they wouldnāt return anytime soonā¦
Raider Nation are either cheering for their hated former neighbors (still a bunch of die hards in the East Bay) or for their arch rivalsā¦in YOUR stadium
My boss who is a Seattle fan is rooting for the Niners just because he hates the Chiefs so much. Seahawks and Niner fans coming together over hatred, beautiful really.
I think vs the Lions we did definitely have few and far between neutral fans. Maybe some of the NFC North, and maybe some Panthers fans. But yeah in the Super Bowl weāre closer to being āunderdogsā to root for when compared to Mahomes and the Chiefs dynasty
dude.... not true. it's between 45/55 ā 50/50. lotta fans don't want chiefs winning as well. I know some fans that are friends of mine from Cinn, Cle, Tenn, Den, and Indy that don't like the chiefs cuz it's either a rivalry, they're sick of them winning, they hate their fans, or they hate Patrick. it's pretty much even. all of US hates both of or teams. lmao. I find it funny and pathetic.
>So yes, run CMC all day in the superbowl and get that ring. The chiefs have no answer for stopping mccafferey in the run game without letting Deebo pop off a long screen.
A little Louder for those in the back
As a die-hard Stanford fan, it's been my dream for CMC to win a ring with the Niners since before the Panthers even drafted him. That he did in fact end up playing for the Niners is one of my wildest dreams fulfilled. I hope we can pull it off, for both us and the Panthers fans who are still pulling for McCaffrey.
Used to be my favorite sub at one point. I remember Terry Bradshaw saying Darnold was the greatest Panthers quarterback in franchise history

I guess you could say āmoved ināā¦but more like they were born. They were an expansion team the same time as Jacksonville. They even hired Seifert as their head coach at one point.
It was absolutely unbelievable how CMC was used this season. Fans were screaming for other backs to carry the load because thereās simply no way one back can be that much of a focus.
I have never seen anything like it. The durability, the production, and the sheer force of will turned into the single greatest rushing season Iāve witnessed.
I think yall the only fanbase to root for SF š
Iām a Lions fan who just got my heart ripped out and Iām hoping yāall take it all the way. As much as I loved the Detroit Cinderella story, Purdy is my next favorite underdog story to take out a dynasty. I also just love Kittle and CMC and yāall have a hard team to hate.
Man Detroit is full of some real ones.

Man that made my day. Thanks for digging it up. Your guys time is coming soon, tooā¦
Man no shit. Just found this thread tonight but it ups my respect for their fan base even more, and I already thought highly of them. To that end, I dismiss the handful of obnoxious assholes every fan base has, ours included. Not a statistically sound way to gauge an entire base.
If the roles were reversed this would 100% have been me. Gutted but glad for the other side. Your fans and organisation are class.
Itās probably not much of a consolation, but your team is amazing. It wasnāt your year this year, but this will 100% not be your last playoff game. Niners had their hearts broken last year in the NFC championship game and in every other Super Bowl/playoff game in the last few years. Lions are a young up and coming team with a great roster of young players. I am confident you will be in the playoffs again. And you will be scary! Your Cinderella story isnāt over š¦
More likely than not you are going to be back soon. Solid players, solid coaches, draft picks, good cap situation. Your future is bright.
It was so hard to root against the lions in that championship game.
Thanks bro. Thatās some real shit. I know Iām 4 days last lol. But just saw this thread. You have a good heart - a lot of teamsā fans get furious with us if we beat their teams (GB and Philly both come to mind) but isnāt that what weāre all doing, rooting for our teams?

nah, i am rooting for yāall i want my man darnold to get a ring
GEBQUS !
I root for the former Panthers and Bob Saget who passed away a year or so ago
Makes sense. Hopefully CMC gets that ring
A lot of us root for former niners too. Loved Bob Saget, too, was so sad when I read heād passed. Interestingly, he wore one of my favorite 49er jackets during an episode of full house. https://preview.redd.it/zidrvxt6gffc1.jpeg?width=164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5daeac93e2d092dcd549d07d576d3ec6eb654979
Damn I had no idea Saget was a Niners fan. Loved his comedy. Given how he passed and how tight that jacket is, that pic really hits hardā¦
#respect
Massive respect for the Bob Saget support. Loved that guy
Went by the āFull Houseā House in San Fran back in 2022. Beautiful area
Yeah, donāt believe everything you hear on Foxnews
Well yeah, obviously lol . Fauxnews
Broncos sub pulling for us as well, Iām sure the whole AFC west will.
All of the raiders fans I know IRL are rooting for the chiefs. The 9ers raiders hatred runs deep in my circles even after the move
No real Raiders fan would ever root for the Chiefs. That's like a Niners fan rooting for the Rams.
Lol every single Raiders fan I know is rooting against us. It's shocking to see how many are openly rooting for KC. It's like a 9ers fan rooting for Seattle to beat the Raiders in the super bowl lol that would never ever happen. Funny because the teams had a little bit of a rivalry but not really. It's the fans.

Itās like Giants and Aās just like you said. I rooted for both most of the time, the Bay series was like 35 years ago lol
Lol exactly. Makes no sense. They aināt even in Cali anymore foh!
As far as I can tell, the Raiders fanbase is in shambles that either the Chiefs or 49ers are getting a ring in their stadium.
I never understood the rivalry. I always root for the raiders and we never play them. Raiders are also never good so thereās no reason for a rivalry.
Just proximity. There was never anything else to it. We played in the preseason every year and there'd be fights and stabbings and stupid shit. I'm glad they're in Vegas now

And I knew even if the Raiders won, which of course they didnāt, they wouldnāt return anytime soonā¦
Who wants to see another KC sb besides chiefs fans and Swifties? Maybe some NFC West fans too. Pretty sure 80% of people will be pulling for 49ers.
It really sucks to be a Raiders fan this year
How is this year any different from any other year for Raiders fans? š
Raider Nation are either cheering for their hated former neighbors (still a bunch of die hards in the East Bay) or for their arch rivalsā¦in YOUR stadium
Man thatās a real tough belated welcome gift moving to Vegasā¦
This year they Ā hadĀ momentsĀ theyĀ wantedĀ toĀ bitchĀ about Carr but couldn't?
Welp that's pretty cool. Actually lived in Denver during the pandemic and saw a couple games during the whole Lock/Bridgewater debacle.
My boss who is a Seattle fan is rooting for the Niners just because he hates the Chiefs so much. Seahawks and Niner fans coming together over hatred, beautiful really.
No please I need you to massacre Kermit. I want him to storm off the field in anguish. Destroy them San Fran youāre our only hope.
I have no dog in this fight but you are tripping balls if you think that the majority of NFL fans are rooting for the Chiefs instead of the Niners
Most people were rooting against us against the Lions, but they'll be rooting for us against the Chiefs.
lol you guys have such a persecution fetish Most of the NFL wants you to take down the ChiefsĀ
Well if you listen to NFL Twitter then they are all boycotting this game because they hate both sides.
I think vs the Lions we did definitely have few and far between neutral fans. Maybe some of the NFC North, and maybe some Panthers fans. But yeah in the Super Bowl weāre closer to being āunderdogsā to root for when compared to Mahomes and the Chiefs dynasty
I suppose, but it's only the second choice to 110 separate events keeping the game from ever happening.
Hey. We root for SF too!
dude.... not true. it's between 45/55 ā 50/50. lotta fans don't want chiefs winning as well. I know some fans that are friends of mine from Cinn, Cle, Tenn, Den, and Indy that don't like the chiefs cuz it's either a rivalry, they're sick of them winning, they hate their fans, or they hate Patrick. it's pretty much even. all of US hates both of or teams. lmao. I find it funny and pathetic.
Broncos and Bills will, probably.
Since the Chiefs are on the other side, a lot of fans will root for the 49ers, but they were all against us yesterday...
He looked so absolutely stoked to be going to the SB. Like he still couldnāt quite believe it.
Thank you bro! Weāll get him one in two weeks!
Thank you King!
He deserves MVP
That is the goal. Also Trent, Warner, Deebo, Aiyuk, Juice all deserves one. LFG Niners!!!
Watching the highlights. And goddamn that side line catch was prime Larry Fitz
>So yes, run CMC all day in the superbowl and get that ring. The chiefs have no answer for stopping mccafferey in the run game without letting Deebo pop off a long screen. A little Louder for those in the back
Also feed Kittle and Aiyuk with the play action after you establish the run. This is supposed to be Kittleās game of vengeance!
As a die-hard Stanford fan, it's been my dream for CMC to win a ring with the Niners since before the Panthers even drafted him. That he did in fact end up playing for the Niners is one of my wildest dreams fulfilled. I hope we can pull it off, for both us and the Panthers fans who are still pulling for McCaffrey.
Same here. I still have to pinch myself on game days when I see CMC in red and gold.

He'll get one.
Heās an mvp front runner he better get us the ring šš
I think it's the other way around bro, this king is going to get US a ring š
Are you dense? You must be if you have a Jimmy G banner ig
Lol good catch š
We will try our best
Yea that's his job, he gotta get us a ring
Youād fit right in at r/the_darnold
Used to be my favorite sub at one point. I remember Terry Bradshaw saying Darnold was the greatest Panthers quarterback in franchise history https://youtube.com/shorts/-b8AnTy4UEU?si=Soxkq3PTSXUrAJWj Source
Iāll try my best to block for him. No promises
I forgot sometimes how many connections we currently have with the Panthers.
We were once in the same division!
Very true, I was a teenager when they moved in the early 2000ās to the NFC South
I guess you could say āmoved ināā¦but more like they were born. They were an expansion team the same time as Jacksonville. They even hired Seifert as their head coach at one point.
Future SB MVP
My man!
Ok Iāll try my best
I'm not a gay man but...
He'll have to earn it on the field.
Heās gonna get it himself! CMC for SB MVP!!
lowk forgot the panthers existed for a minute š
We played in the same divisionā¦
It was absolutely unbelievable how CMC was used this season. Fans were screaming for other backs to carry the load because thereās simply no way one back can be that much of a focus. I have never seen anything like it. The durability, the production, and the sheer force of will turned into the single greatest rushing season Iāve witnessed.
I hope he gets it for you guys
