Let’s dive into the madness of last night’s game between the Rams and the 49ers. The Rams, despite playing in torrential rain, managed to escape with a 12-6 win over San Francisco in a game that was as sloppy as it gets.
Now, it wasn’t pretty, but let’s talk about what stood out. Matthew Stafford had a pedestrian performance, going 16-of-27 for just 160 yards. The first half was especially bad, with Stafford only managing 23 yards. The real hero for the Rams was Williams, who had 29 carries for 106 yards and ran out the clock late, securing a field goal that sealed the win. He’s been playing lights out lately.
But the most shocking thing of all? Cooper Kupp. The guy who’s usually Stafford’s go-to weapon, didn’t catch a single pass last night! Kupp was targeted just three times and didn’t register a catch all game. I can’t remember the last time we saw Kupp go completely silent in a game, but that’s exactly what happened.
On the other side, the 49ers couldn’t get anything going offensively. Brock Purdy struggled mightily, going 14-of-31 for just 142 yards, including a really bad interception. But let’s be real — the 49ers’ offense has been all over the place lately. They couldn’t establish the run, and Deebo Samuel, who’s been all talk lately, dropped a critical potential touchdown. He was in the perfect spot, split the seam, and then dropped the ball. Yeah, that happened. After the game, I saw all the chatter online with people defending Deebo, but come on — you can’t talk big and then choke when it matters most.
And let’s talk about De’Vondre Campbell. This is where the drama escalates. Campbell, a linebacker for the 49ers, walked off the field during the third quarter of the game and reportedly told the team he didn’t want to play anymore. Shanahan didn’t hold back, saying straight up that Campbell doesn’t want to play the game. You can’t quit in the middle of the season, especially when you’re on a one-year, $5 million contract. That’s just unprofessional. Emotions and pride might get in the way, but you can’t let that mess with your role on the team.
Now, I can understand some frustration. It’s tough to be benched after putting in all the work, but that’s the reality of pro football. You don’t get to walk off when things aren’t going your way. Campbell’s decision to quit mid-game is a huge red flag, and it could seriously hurt his career moving forward. This is a guy who was a first-team All-Pro just a couple of years ago.
Let’s get this straight: the 49ers’ season is over. With just three games left, I don’t see them making a miraculous comeback. They’d need other teams in the NFC West to implode, and I don’t see that happening. Seattle, the Rams, and the Cardinals are all playing better football than San Francisco right now. The 49ers’ inconsistency, injuries, and lack of production from key players like Deebo and Purdy, have doomed them.
And let me hit you with the final truth: Just because you were in the Super Bowl last year, it doesn’t mean you’re going back the next year. The NFL doesn’t care about last year’s success; every year is a new battle. The 49ers’ hopes for a Super Bowl run this season have come to a screeching halt.
So there you have it, folks. The 49ers are in deep trouble, and their season is done. Deebo Samuel and De’Vondre Campbell might want to think about their actions because this season is over, and it’s not looking good for either of them moving forward.
