Earth-shattering roars, red waves that covered the clouds and the sun, and a tsunami of support surged wildly through the Candlestick Stadium, fiercely and brutally attacking the away players who were warming up on the court, powerful and powerful. It boldly declared that the majesty of the home court is inviolable!
Just as a bystander, I witnessed this scene with my own eyes, the flags fluttering in the wind, the huge waves, the loud signs... Even the surface of my skin can feel the surging heat, and I can't help but feel it. My blood started to boil.
The two commentators, Kirk and Teddy, couldn't help showing expressions of amazement. Everyone was worried that the San Francisco 49ers might begin to completely collapse after two consecutive losses, just like the Buffalo Bills.
The Bills got off to a good start at the beginning of the season with three consecutive wins, followed by two wins and two losses. In the eighth week of the regular season, the team's record was still five wins and two losses - including a one-week offseason. week; but after that, the team began to completely collapse. It has suffered four consecutive losses, and the losing streak still seems to have no end in sight.
The Washington Redskins are also suffering from the same problem. The bye week has become a watershed in the season. They had three wins and one loss before and then six consecutive losses.
This is like a kind of inertia. Once the switch of failure is turned on, they can no longer find the rhythm of victory and collapse thousands of miles away.
The San Francisco 49ers seem to be showing signs of this.
But today, Candlestick Stadium showed strong confidence and seemed not to have been affected by the two consecutive defeats at all. The strong momentum at home once again showed the style of a strong team with a profound foundation. The problem is here, before this season, this was still a weak team, but now it is showing the strength of a strong team?
This is really incredible.
So, is this really a case of external force and internal control? Or a strong recovery?
After the game started, people gradually discovered that their suspicions were becoming reality - the familiar San Francisco 49ers this season were back again!
Only eighty-four seconds had elapsed on the court when Troy Ball's iconic roar began to roar, "Touchdown! This is a touchdown! Touchdown... touchdown..." The protracted tail tone Pushing his excitement to the extreme, he finally couldn't help but stand up directly, banging the table hard, using all his strength to express his excitement and excitement.
In this game, the San Francisco 49ers took the lead in attacking, and No. 14, who became increasingly well-known, once again led the offensive team.
The offensive team, which had continued to perform poorly in the past two weeks, seemed to have finally regained its rhythm and rationality, and was once again full of vitality. With the first pass, Lu Ke successfully bypassed the defensive team's surprise strategy with one tactic. Misplaced, a 23-yard pass was completed between the hand and the knife.
In the dense area defense, Logan Newman tore out a gap. In the one-on-one confrontation, he firmly suppressed his opponent and successfully completed the ball. He laid the foundation for today's game with a strong posture. foundation.
Immediately afterwards, he unexpectedly chose to run the ball twice in a row. Under the cover of the offensive line, Marcus Lynch successfully scored the first attack, a five-yard run and an eight-yard run. A simple warm-up. It has achieved good results, and the offensive line seems to have returned to excellent tacit understanding.
Then, with solid pocket protection and facing at least three different receiving targets, Lu Ke boldly and decisively showed off his famous stunts, without being affected by the past two losses at all. He threw a forty-three-yard pass.
Ted Ginn used his absolute speed advantage to get rid of the player who was marking him, and used an inside route to force overtake. His sudden turn and stop abruptly pinned the defending safety guard in place, and Complete the ball while running at high speed.
That's not all.
Subsequently, Gene continued to advance with the ball, and after getting rid of a tackle that tried to turn the tide, he completed the fatal blow to overthrow the opponent, reached the end zone, and scored a touchdown with lightness, agility, and crispness, marking the team's first opener. Record!
Fluid, efficient and unstoppable, with two passes and two runs, the offense was completely open without any interference or hindrance. It only took 84 seconds for the San Francisco 49ers to take the lead at home.
Everything is so familiar, the offensive team that everyone loves is back, sweeping away the decline of the past two weeks, and strongly announcing a recovery!
Candlestick Stadium was boiling, and cheers and shouts began to rise from the ground.
"Wonderful! It's so wonderful!"
Troy couldn't help but marvel, "The San Francisco 49ers' offense is simply unstoppable! A 100% offensive success rate, they scored a touchdown in just four offensive plays, so fast and hilarious! The defense standing on the opposite side couldn't even stop it. Act as an effective obstruction!"
"God, that rookie quarterback who astonished the entire league has regained his touch! Just when everyone was worried about the crisis of three consecutive losses, Lu Ke bravely stood up and once again declared the team's desire for victory. And the chase! Before the game even had time to catch its breath, the 49ers took the lead at home, which was reminiscent of the first week of the regular season."
"For the home fans, this is undoubtedly happy; but for the opponents, it is not good news. San Francisco Private, come back strong!"
The St. Louis Rams, the rival of the San Francisco 49ers in the same division, looked confused at this time. They had already lost the first touchdown before they even had time to react. What was even more frightening was that the defensive team did not understand what was happening. The rhythm hasn't had time to match, and the confrontation hasn't had time to start yet. Why did it suddenly score a touchdown?
His eyes were blank!
The St. Louis Rams have gone through three stages in history. First they were the Cleveland Rams, and then they spent most of the league's time in Los Angeles. From 1946 to 1994, they were the Los Angeles Rams; then they came to St. Louis and became the Rams. Now this team.
This is a team whose defense is stronger than its offense. Its historical peak occurred at the turn of the century. It won the Super Bowl championship in the 1999 season, and then reached the Super Bowl in the subsequent 2000, 2001, 2003, and 2004 seasons. After the game, they also reached the Super Bowl again in 2001. They are definitely a powerful team in the league that cannot be underestimated.
But after that, the team fell into the darkest period in history. It missed the playoffs for six consecutive years and was a close friend of the San Francisco 49ers.
Among the official recommendations of the NFL, "49ers VS Rams" was successfully shortlisted and ranked eighth among the ten greatest rivals in the history of the league - or mortal enemies.
But this period of history mainly occurred when the Rams were still stationed in Los Angeles. They were the opponents with the most matches in the league, surpassing the "Packers VS Bears" and ranking first in the league; at the same time, between the two cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco, The competition and competition between the two opponents also made every confrontation between the two opponents sparkle.
The two teams have played against each other in more than a hundred games during the regular season, with the San Francisco 49ers temporarily leading the way, with 65 wins, 63 losses, and three draws; but interestingly, the two teams have only played against each other in the playoffs. Once, in 1989, the San Francisco 49ers won.
Talking about the rivalry between these two teams is like an encyclopedia of league history, recording every bit of the NFC West. So when the Rams decided to move later, various programs around the league produced special topics. Expressing regret and regret, that period of magnificent history will soon become the past forever.
Because after the Rams moved to St. Louis, they lacked the gunpowder of the city matchup, and the match between the two teams seemed to lack a bit of flavor; and the peak periods of the two sides were completely staggered, resulting in a chemical reaction during the match. further weakened.
At the end of the 1990s, it was a period of decline for the 49ers, while the Rams rose strongly; after the 21st century, both the 49ers and the Rams fell into disarray and became spectators in the division. No matter how deep the historical hatred is, if the duel lacks sparks, people will naturally pay less attention to it.
All of this makes the name of "rivals" gradually lose its charm and appeal, especially this season.
Last year, the St. Louis Rams achieved seven wins and nine losses, ranking second in the conference; this year, they fell into a strange circle. They won all four games in the preseason, but after the start of the regular season, they were mired in failure. , unable to extricate themselves, the season record was only two wins and nine losses, and they were declared out of the playoffs in advance. Now it is time to start preparing for the next season.
One has risen strongly, the other has continued to sink, and the two completely different development trajectories make this showdown lacking enough highlights. The St. Louis Rams may not seem like a worthy opponent for the San Francisco 49ers, but that's not the case.
Among the Rams' two victories, one was against the Cleveland Browns, and the other was an upset victory over the season-favorite New Orleans Saints in the eighth week of the regular season. The final score was "31:21." It fell beyond the eyes of the entire league.
People can't help but think that the Rams have a title:
Giant killers, especially during divisional civil wars, can often act as spoilers.
The same is true for the other three division teams. If there is any negligence, the St. Louis Rams may severely make their opponents stumble. No matter how bad the season record is, they will always be full of energy in the division civil war. Got motivated.
Two weeks ago, the San Francisco 49ers lost an upset at home to the Arizona Cardinals, which was the divisional civil war; and now, the San Francisco 49ers once again face the St. Louis Rams at home. Although the odds of winning are all in the hands of the 49ers, they have just experienced two consecutive losses. No one knows whether the 49ers will continue to sink and whether the Rams can counterattack again.
This adds a bit of suspense to the game.
However, after the opening, the San Francisco 49ers declared their recovery with an absolutely strong attitude, and they will never take it lightly when facing the Rams' attack.
After scoring the extra point, the 49ers' defensive team also showed their determination as one!
