@Nicocantor1 The first scenario for mouth covering was always going to be polarizing. If he didn’t give a red card, and the cameras caught it, he would be criticized for not following the rules that FIFA implemented by fans and pundits.
@Nicocantor1 Strange take. Clearly, Paraguay was leaning into injury feigning and clock juicing (justifiable tactic in a must win scenario) but I thought he did a great job at mitigating the chaos.
Today: Most easygoing, relaxed vibe I’ve felt in the 49ers locker room all season and maybe in years (it might be impossible to ever match 2019 in this regard). There’s excitement in the building surrounding Fred Warner’s potential return (that man can’t stop smiling right now), but behind it all there’s this eager calmness — seems zen-like. The win in Philly might’ve fully unlocked that. Rookies and vets alike know that they’ve maximized the hand they were dealt and now they can fully embody a “nothing to lose” mindset.
The 49ers were clearly in rest/body recovery mode today, and they haven’t been shy about their desire to face Seattle again. There’s a combination of real respect for the Seahawks and a prevailing thought amongst the 49ers that they didn’t put their best foot forward in Week 18

@AndrewWhitworth on the NFC playoff picture.
Panthers beating the Rams is just the latest example of the Parity in the NFL. No team is without flaws this season. There are no clear Favorites. Going to be one of the more unpredictable postseasons in my opinion
It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.
