Those of you able to catch the end of the New Orleans Saints-Los

Angeles Rams NFC Championship game probably thought about how the Saints have been getting kicked in the head in recent years. Here’s a team that now has back-to-back postseason losses with the Minneapolis Miracle in 2018 and then the pass interference call that wasn’t on Sunday. It was a rough game for the Saints and who can blame them? Another heartbreaking post season loss. It was enough for ESPN’s Adam Schefter to tweet out a statement that no other team has suffered this type of postseason disappointment. Yeah no. Not even close. I get the take http://www.sanfrancisco49ersteamonline.com/weston-richburg-jersey , but there’s several teams that have dealt with worse heartbreak. The most obvious example for all NFL fans is the Buffalo Bills losing four straight Super Bowls. For 49ers fans, I think we can recall a team that didn’t have two of those losses, but three. Before I could say anything, Nathan Kley responded and took the words out of my mouth: The Saints might have been the team to suffer heartbreak in recent times, but no team ever? *Shiver* I don’t want to recall all three years of this, but I must. Tuck the kiddies to bed and leave the lights on, this gets pretty nasty. 2011-2012When Jim Harbaugh arrived, everyone had the 49ers pegged for a last place finish in the NFC West and nowhere near the the NFC Championship game. The 49ers did just the opposite, getting the No. 2 seed and hosting the New York Giants where the winner would go to the Super Bowl. Despite atrocious wide receivers and the Giants nipping at their heels, the 49ers had this thing under control. Then this happened to tie the game up.Followed by this in overtime. Giants advance http://www.sanfrancisco49ersteamonline.com/fred-warner-jersey , 49ers fans are subjected to tales of how elite Eli Manning was, crown Kyle Williams the scourging blight of the roster, and to put a bow on things, treated to a Giants victory over the Patriots in the Super Bowl. A Super Bowl the 49ers very well could have won. One punt and the 49ers couldn’t get it done. Ugh. Onto the next year. 2012-13The 49ers took care of their business to notch the No. 2 seed in the playoffs yet again. Colin Kaepernick became the starter midway through the season and embarrassed the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round. Despite a rough first half in the NFC Championship Game, the 49ers came back in the second half against the Atlanta Falcons thanks to a crucial run-in by Frank Gore. The win punched their tickets to the Super Bowl against the Baltimore Ravens. This was a game the 49ers weren’t in control of to start. Fumbles, terrible officiating, and, uh, a power outage were the things fans had to deal with. When the lights turned back on, the 49ers were rejuvenated and started making a huge comeback. Touchdown by touchdown Womens Mike Person Jersey , they shaved the Ravens’ lead until they got into the redzone. No problem right? Kaepernick has led the 49ers to the promised land. They had the Ravens on their heels all second half. Frank Gore had a massive run to set things up. All they had to do was punch the ball in. Well, then this final series happened. On the five yard line, and the 49ers couldn’t get either a helmet to helmet penalty for a hit on Michael Crabtree, a pass interference call for a hold on Crabtree, or (the preferred outcome) a simple run play before the play clock expired. Needless to say, fade passes were not punching the ball in. Five yards and the 49ers couldn’t. Get. It. Done. It was one of the worst nights for any 49ers fan. So close and the season was over thanks to bad clock management, playcalling, and crummy officiating. So there’s two back-to-back losses. Unlike the Saints, the 49ers have a third. Oh man, I don’t want to go there http://www.sanfrancisco49ersteamonline.com/arik-armstead-jersey , but I must. 2013-14The 49ers once again went back to the NFC Championship game. Thanks to an, um, incident, the 49ers found themselves a wild card and battling through each opponent on the road before netting another NFC Championship. Except this one was in CenturyLink Field against the Seattle Seahawks, a place the 49ers got blown out of earlier in the season. The 49ers took an early lead and went into the half up by seven points. A score that should make no fan feel optimistic given where they were playing. That fear reared itself in the fourth quarter thanks to a botched roughing the kicker penalty, an ill-advised Colin Kaepernick interception and aNaVorro Bowman knee injury. After the injury though, the 49ers got a fumble and had some time on the clock (along with time outs) to get the ball downfield for a touchdown and win the game. They started chipping away yardage against the Seahawks but not calling timeouts, or having much urgency. Regardless of how frustrating it was not to see some hustle, they still had time to put this thing away. Then yep, you guessed it Authentic Pierre Garcon Jersey , this happened. The play people are still trying to figure out an actual name for. The Seahawks went to the Super Bowl and pile-drove the Denver Broncos into oblivion to get their first ring. The 49ers once again couldn’t. Get. It. Done. Three years, one year in the Super Bowl, two in the NFC Championship. All close games and all lost in the most gut-wrenching way possible. It’s one thing if the 49ers got blown out in any of these games, but they were put in position to win each game and for some strange reason or another—be it play-calling, clock management, or the refs—they blew it. If we’re talking recent heartbreak, the Saints have had a rough two years and win the medal. The miracle and that awful, awful PI call are a duo that is ridiculous and can level a team’s morale. How the coaching staff keeps everyone together after that is anyone’s guess. But two back-to-back heartbreaking losses being the standard that no other NFL team has suffered? The 49ers have that on lockdown. Move along. As Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes prepares to make his first home start in Kansas City, the fans had better not blink when he has the ball in his hands. Mahomes has one of the strongest arms the NFL ever has seen, and he has displayed it throughout the first two weeks of the regular season.“I know when I am amped up http://www.sanfrancisco49ersteamonline.com/dante-pettis-jersey , I throw it pretty hard sometimes, but luckily I have guys that can catch it,” Mahomes told reporters this week. “There is so much difference of having arm ability. You have to be able to throw it hard, you have to be able to throw it with touch. You have to be able to do everything in this league and I try to get better at every single one of those throws every single day. said his hardest throw ever came two weeks ago, against the Chargers.“I have probably thrown it as hard as I can a couple times,” Mahomes said. “Whenever there are those tight windows, I let it go. I think the ball to Sammy [Watkins] the first week against the Chargers was probably the hardest I have ever thrown it. It was rifled in there. been rifling it all his life. As he explained last month during a visit with PFT Live, Mahomes forced a very specific change in the rules of T-ball when he a six-year-old shortstop. After breaking the glasses of a teammate with a rocket to first base, Mahomes moving forward was instructed to roll the ball instead.
