ugly ass win on the niners part. im kinda glad they had some trouble with the seahawks last week, and then with the rams at the end of the game this week. niners cant go into the playoffs too cocky, cause they arent perfect.
i hope this kinda humbled them a little and made 'any given sunday' a huge reality but at the same time put the prize right there in their eyes, and they realize they gotta be perfect in all stages of the game to make it in the playoffs.
ill be rooting for the niners to make it all the way! fuck the rams and tardinals lol

and i didnt realize harbaugh used to be a pretty decent quarterback, they were throwing his stats up and talking about his QB past in the game. and hes out there doing hands on shit with his players on the field, the more i learn about harbaugh the more i respect him as a coach.
even tho hes a sore loser AND a sore winner, the guy gets it done and his players will leave it all on the field for him and you cant argue with those results

LOL. What a fucking sham. There were more playoff tickets released this morning to season ticket holders. I logged in before 10am, and kept refreshing until 10am on the dot.
Couldn't even get an extra single seat...clicked over to StubHub and they have 10's of thousands of tickets now available. Funny.

Why the 49ers win critical games and why the Raiders do not
Just keeping the Raiders competitive this year was a monumental task by Raiders coach Hue Jackson. Nevertheless, Jackson has yet to get his team to be all in on what he and his coaches are doing, and that’s the major difference between the Raiders and 49ers. It’s also the reason San Francisco secured a playoff bye with their win in St. Louis and the reason the Raiders are no longer playing after losing to San Diego.
It takes shared sacrifice to win in the NFL and the 49ers established that right away when they asked their players to pour in 14- to 16-hour days during training camp to learn the new offensive and defensive schemes. The team became heavily invested in what they were doing from the start.
Coach Jim Harbaugh and his staff combined that sacrifice with solid game plans that players knew would work. Harbaugh also minmized his own ego and allowed other coaches to do their jobs, which set an example for his team.
Harbaugh, for example, might sit on defensive meetings but when it comes to game planning and making the game-day calls, he leaves that up defensive coordinator Vic Fangio because Harbaugh realizes Fangio knows far more about defense than he does. This style allows a veteran coach like Fangio the confidence and authority to do his job correctly.
This team first attitude has filtered down to the players. Harbaugh is constantly giving the players credit for their successful season, and consequently, the players are doing what it takes to put team success first.
The thought process is way different (than previous years),” tight end Delanie Walker said before he hurt his jaw against Arizona. “The way people are getting into their playbook, the way guys are here early watching film, you can see it. We want it. That’s the difference from last year, we know we can take it. We can get the job done.”
A total buy in means that players believe coaches will put them in the best position to win. From the looks of the Raiders defensively, it doesn’t appear as if the players believe in the coaching or their schemes.
The Raiders are also playing the way most teams do in the NFL – they are playing for themselves, for their own statistics and their own contracts. But the 49ers have broken through that and play much more for team success.
“This team’s so committed, puts in so much,” quarterback Alex Smith said after Sunday’s win in St. Louis, “and when you have a team so committed as we are, you expect these types of things to happen. Expectations change.”
Is there anyone on the Raiders who talks like that?
