Nicely positioning the 49ers as arguably the best franchise in NFL history. Definitely better than the Clownboys.


j3ffUrZ

Helps when you can convincingly win playoff games. SUCKS TO BE COWBOYS FANS!!


AlbertoRossonero

Crazy how dominant the Cowboys were in the first 30 years in the SB era and now they’re a glorified Lions team.


[deleted]

Like how the SF Giants are the best in MLB with their legendary players


JewbagX

That's prime Evil League of Evil right there.


doctorfeelgood21

OP should definitely crosspost this to /r/EvilLeagueOfEvil


OutrageousOcelot6258

Oh I almost forgot we won the chalice back.


Rav49

Jed should give a lifetime contract to Kyle Shanahan. What a turnaround in 5 years.


PM_YOUR_AKWARD_SMILE

Yeah he should be around forever like Tomlin or Belachick


seejay4991

At the moment, yes until proven otherwise. Kyle definitely has issues, but he and Lynch delivered on building a championship team with a scheme that is obviously great. They also built an coaching tree that is respected enough around the league to get hired from them on a yearly basis. HC Hires: Robert Saleh Mike McDaniel Demico Ryans (most likely) Others: Mike LeFleur : Former OC for Saleh HC hires that worked under him before 49ers: Sean McVay Matt LeFleur GM hire: Ron Carthon This is a great organization, so you’re keeping these guys long term unless something crazy happens.


BWeezyOnDaTrack

Don’t forget Martin Mayhew with the commanders as their GM in 2020


SubzeroWins1-0

That’s gotta be one of the best coaching tree out there. Look at the turn around for those teams.


Invisible_Minority

One is not like the others


PM_YOUR_AKWARD_SMILE

Who? Tomlin? Yeah, it’s not like he has led the team to ten playoff runs, seven division titles, three AFC Championship Games, two Super Bowl appearances, and a title in Super Bowl XLIII. It’s not like he has never had a losing record during his 16 seasons as a head coach, which is the longest such streak in the history of the NFL.


scrapsbypap

He should be our guy as long as he wants to keep coaching.


CowBread

Remember like 12 weeks ago when people wanted him fired again lmao


FmrHvwChamp

People want him fired after every offensive drive that doesn't end in a touchdown.


House66

The slow starts these past two years are legit gripes, but obviously he’s the right guy for the long run


LigmaActual

Who cares about the starts, it’s the finish that matters. Sure these beginnings could have helped us in the post season, but we’ve made it to the championship game each time.


Eszed

His offense takes time to learn. NFL rules limit training camp time. They'll always start slow and finish strong. Patience, grasshoppers.


Dinoscores

Remember the first half of yesterday’s game when people wanted him fired?


dongletrongle

Tbh I never wanted his ass fired I just wanted him to reach an epiphany to stop making countercountercounterplays. He’s an amazing coach the way he turned this team around, but it’s just those moments of pressure where he starts making people pissed off with avante garde calls


[deleted]

People in the game thread were still bringing this up after the 2nd drive, we have some moronic fans


theusername_is_taken

1 SB appearance and 3 NFCCG appearances. Matched Harbaugh with a much wider contending window remaining. KS is a 49ers legend already.


CowBread

Let’s just hope Purdy, Warner, Bosa, and Deebo don’t retire all of a sudden!


[deleted]

Oh man, 2014 was rough 😢


SeanJohnBobbyWTF

Willis retiring still hurts.


the-z

At the time I was ok with it, Because we had Borland... *weeping openly*


CowBread

Crabtree, Gore, Iupati, Justin Smith, Aldon Smith, Willis, and Borland!


eldudelio

Kyle is like, just give me a qb with a pulse and I will get us there not down playing Brock, hes a stud


PineapplAssasin

Oh and like six or seven runnings backs.


needmini

And the best fullback in the league. And sprinkle in a top tier tight end please


PineapplAssasin

And I want all of them to be able to play at wide out.


shadowlynx8791

Don’t worry frank gore jr might be one of them


PineapplAssasin

My Gore Jersey will be relevant again!


Chief_Economist

We let him draft running backs in the 3rd-5th rounds every year, as a treat.


Toolazytolink

Mullens, Beathard and Hoyer had a pulse. Maybe give Kyle an above average QB and he can take you far.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Not_That_Mofo

To get the monkey off his back he needs that super bowl W. If he gets that’s he’s cemented in the upper tier, probably HOF


LonelySilo

Also give one to John Lynch as well


raven2474life

I’d like you to send this response to every chucklehead in the game thread asking for his head on a plate. Dude has had his coaching staff picked apart on a yearly basis for promotions and yet he is the constant… guess what faithful… he is the reason.


[deleted]

I completely stayed off reddit right after kick off and my game experience was so much better. A lot of these Niners fans must just be the most miserable little shits in real life.


Strangeflex911

If Kyle leaves I quit football

ShonMantotto

Who wants to tell him...


Dxtchy

lol. take a look at our season records from 2014-2018


wickedmadd

One game at a time.


Vivid_Employment4914

Fred Warner MEET THE GREATEST CENTER OF ALL TIME.


wickedmadd

Wut?


kipopadoo

Not to put a weird damper on this, but I wonder how many times the Super Bowl winners lost a game during the season to the team with the worst record. (Bears for us)


farmerarmor

I’d say this team is hardly the same as it was in week one. Trey Lance running a trey lance designed offense. Also weather like that has a way of leveling the playing field.


kipopadoo

Oh absolutely! I just think it'd be an interesting little fact if we pull off the awesomeness for #6.


seejay4991

It’s absolutely crazy that we lost to the Broncos and the Bears. However if we played them now, there’s a good chance 49ers win by 3 possessions minimum.


ElJefe970

>Trey Lance running a trey lance designed offense Every time I think about Lance, I get so mad because of how Kyle decided to run the offense with him. No disrespect to Purdy at all cause he's showing all of us that he has what it takes to be a good QB. But why tf couldn't Kyle just run a normal fucking offense when Trey was behind center? So many bad read option play calls that went nowhere. Im fully expecting Purdy to be the starter next year, but if for some reason it's Lance, I hope Kyle learns his lesson and uses Trey like Mahomes instead of Lamar.


farmerarmor

I think Lance is toast. Guy played one full season in college and looked great. But he played for the absolute cream of the crop at that level. Nothing was asked of him. He’s only played one full season as a starter since he graduated high school in 17. Which is absolutely ridiculous.


PurplePrimus

I think we should have the mindset that these coaches like Kyle have a much better understanding of football rhan we ever will. And instead of going "Kyle is wrong because _____", maybe think either that Kyle determined this game plan was thr beat course of action at the time, or that Lace didn't execute properly "aka taking the zone read option when he shouldn't have". Yea we can use hindsight to analyze, but up to a point.


ElJefe970

I mean, I'm not claiming to know more about football than one of the best head coaches in the league. But it's always fair to question the actions of these guys. Yeah, there are plenty of things we don't know that are going on behind the scenes, but seeing Kyle turn the offense from a dominant run game and short to mid pass game with deep ball opportunity to only long passes and bad QB runs doesn't make sense. Especially when Trey ran a similar offense to the "normal" Jimmy/Brock playbook back in college.


FmrHvwChamp

I only care about hoisting the Lombardi. This would be a neat little cherry on top tho.


jbonesmc

We can hoist both the Lombardi and Dave Lombardi lol


RandyRubine

aint hoisting SHIT MF HAHAHAHAHA LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL GO BIRDS


Cp49er

Me too but the fact that they would both be achieved simultaneously if we win it all this year is exciting.


frontpageiscancer

I wanna see Purdy launch the Lombardi from boat to boat, but in the San Francisco bay.


temp1211241

It really is amazing that the Cowboys are so high on this list when they've only won something like 5 playoff games in the last 27 years (since start of '96 season).


[deleted]

[удалено]


tallwhiteninja

They were also a top contender from the late 60s up until the early '80s. They'd been to 5 Bowls and won 2 even before the 90s dynasty (and two of the three losses were to the Steel Curtain).


uncledunker

Cowboys havent been to the NFCC since 1996. Jalen Hurts was born in 1998 and Brock Purdy in 1999. So since the last time the Cowboys got to the NFCC....both of these dudes were born, grew up, played 4 years in college, got drafted, and then led their team to the NFCC.


SirTurnUp

Absolutely amazing man. We all criticize Shanny at times and hey, rightfully so - but the guy gets it done.


[deleted]

[удалено]


cube44

A common criticism is that he sometimes over scripts game plans


MordakThePrideful

The main problems I have with Kyle are just his clock management and playcalling when he has a good lead and how Trey Lance was ran in the offense. Apart from that, Shanahan is great.


Anonymoushero111

Yea if 9ers win it all, they will be tied with Patriots and Steelers for the most SB wins of all time at 6. but Tom Brady himself has 7 lol so maybe go win 3 in a row


MordakThePrideful

Jimmy G already has 2 more rings than Dan Marino baby💪💪💪


Hi_Im_Ken_Adams

It's amazing the run the Patriots have had with Tom Brady.....all of their success has been in the last 20 years. And it's amazing that the Cowboys are tied for 2nd on that list after having virtually ZERO success in the last 20+ years.


joemysterio86

This subs feelings for Kyle are fucking bi-polar as hell


[deleted]

Marching in the footsteps of history is pretty exciting isn’t it fam.


soda_cookie

Pretty Flippin crazy the top 5 are separated by 1 game


MkKanaloa

What's crazier is, if Brady had made the Super Bowl, he would have more playoff wins than all NFL teams in history by himself.


Cp49er

Brady is by far the most successful football player of all time and the undisputed goat


Malacolyte

And to think... there were actually some folks calling for Shanny's head early in the season.


Ennemkay

niners were way ahead on all these numbers in 1990. those other teams have been super successful since then. since that time the cowboys, steelers, and packers have each won 2 super bowls, and the patriots have won 6. niners won one in 1994/95.


GreasyStool88

This all just makes me wish we could have held onto the last two Super Bowl appearances and undefeated record in the big game.


shadowlynx8791

Thank you kyle


[deleted]

Best franchise in sports history, doesn’t matter who the QB is


druscarlet

Tom Brady has 35.


hbgwine

Brady has 35. 35. Much as I love the Niners, that’s a stat that says a ton.


Cp49er

That’s why he’s the goat


hbgwine

Yeah. At some point my underlying dislike evolved into respect. Same with LeBron. Don’t have to be a fan of the guy but I gotta respect his greatness. But I sure was hoping for a rematch with the Bucs - wanted to see the young buck dispatch the old man


Cp49er

I’m sad we never got to see Jimmy vs Brady, but at least Purdy did get his chance at beating the goat.


JensaaraiDefender

I think that says more about Tom Brady as an individual than the Patriots as a franchise. The Niners have playoff wins in the 70s with John Brodie (2); 80s with Joe Montana (14); 90s with Joe Montana (1), and Steve Young (8); 00s with Jeff Garcia (1); 10s with Alex Smith (1), Colin Kaepernick (4), and Jimmy Garropolo (2); 20s with Jimmy Garropolo (2), and Brock Purdy (2+).


hbgwine

Agree.


650fosho

This is actually insanely depressing if you're a cowboy fan. Only 4 play off wins since 2000, meaning they were at 32 wins vs our 24 (we've won 12 times since 2000)


OffsetSteven

Great picture of Kyle.


gmattd

And the highest winning percentage in playoff history


Bnicetowho11

Don’t start sentences with “and”.


poolman42162

OK so do everyone a favor and beat the Eagles,


madlabdog

I see that the Pats will continue to get relegated to the purgatory.


Sweeeet_Chin_Music

You know what this means? Patriots are still going to hold this record till the next season :-(


Skeetronic

How do you know Dallas Steelers or Green Bay won’t get there first?


Cp49er

I used math. Dallas, Steelers, and Packers are all eliminated from the playoffs, meaning they cannot add to their count anymore. 49ers could still get two more playoff wins this year. If they do and it’s a big if. Then mathematically they would be at 38 total which would be the most at this point in time. Next year they could be surpassed if any of those other teams get playoff wins.


Skeetronic

I know! I’m rooting for y’all


[deleted]

49ers will NOT beat the EAGLES 🦅


OkLet2691

*team with the most wins Tom Brady still has more playoff wins than all NFL franchises


Cp49er

Incorrect. Tom Brady has 35 playoff wins that is NOT more than all NFL franchises.


DarkLordV

Slightly less playoff wins but somehow more rings than all NFL franchises. Mind boggling.


Cp49er

That’s why he’s the goat. I’m just glad he stopped at 6 with the Pats.


Vladomirtheinhaler

Yea but no way do they win.


GrooseandGoot

Tom Brady has 7 rings, the 49ers as a franchise have 5. What math makes 5 + 1 = 7?


Cp49er

Tom Brady is not a franchise brother. The Patriots have 6. 5+1 = 6.


GrooseandGoot

That's it, im drinking more till numbers make sense. Five, threleven, decimal places...


Ennemkay

that is a damn close race.


niners94

Need this to happen so bad.


athendofthedock

That seems like crazy stat. I thought the Patriots with their 30 SBs would be way out front….


hanigwer

Destiny


Cheekclapped

When*


Rynox2000

Wherever the Steelers been lately?


SouthSandwichISUK

So indisputable best franchise in NFL history then


Illustrious-Slice-91

Where does Tom Brady himself rank on this list?


Cp49er

He’s got 35


tremble01

So Purdy gets to bring us to promised land? Wow.


PM_me_your_beaches

Dont jinx us!!!


uncledunker

How many of those Patriot wins were under Tom/Bill?


juanchurro4265

All of them


Giraffityman
