Coach Talk

Banannaise
Hey, the key to football is finding the mismatches. Thanks to a sound display from Cam Newton, we doubled up niners at the quarterback position this past week (26 points to 12). Newton went 28-for-41 for 300 yards, two TDs, and four INTs in a 24-17 loss to the Buccaneers.
niners
Try your best to think big-picture here: only one team is actually gonna win this thing... there's a lot to be said for choosing to take the classy route, gracefully congratulating those who do hoist the trophy, and begin regrouping for next season! Keep pushing forward, niners!
