As the commentator said, some people may have expected the result, but they did not expect that it would come out in such a way; no one expected such a start, no one expected such a process, and no one expected such an ending. , even Hollywood screenwriters would not dare to write like this——
Because the audience doesn't want to see such a script. It’s so ugly! Even the noobs pecking each other look better than this!
When the referee blew the touchdown confirmation whistle, even Gene himself was a little confused: after cheering and celebrating for a moment, he froze in place, not knowing what he was celebrating.
The same goes for the San Francisco 49ers' offense, defense and special teams. This victory... is really hard to describe and has mixed feelings. Only the coaching staff was celebrating. They didn't care about the process, they only cared about the result. After all, they won the game and completed a season doubleheader against the St. Louis Rams. This is the most important thing.
Victory is victory after all, whether it is wonderful or ugly, victory and failure are still different after all.
This season, the St. Louis Rams are still the most competitive team in the division civil war. They beat the Arizona Cardinals twice and defeated the Seattle Seahawks at home. However, they suffered the fate of being double-killed against the San Francisco 49ers. This is for the Rams. He said, no doubt holding his breath tightly.
As for the San Francisco 49ers, they narrowly escaped from the away game. In an extremely bad state, they not only maintained an undefeated record within the division, but also remained undefeated in the league. This also provided the team with an undefeated record. The locker room once again earned a week of breathing space to adjust.
"Friends in the audience, wow, please let us calm down for a moment. Friends in the audience, on the thirteenth day of the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers played an away game against the St. Louis Rams. Just now, the referee blew the final whistle. Obviously, the referee blew the final whistle. , none of us expected that this game would end with a decisive victory in the last moment of overtime! Exciting, really exciting!"
"In the end, the final score was '6:12'. The San Francisco 49ers passed the ball for a touchdown at the last minute. Lu Ke found Gene with his famous long pass, and completed the touchdown with a flash of inspiration. He defeated the same team in the away game. District rival, extending his winning streak to twelve games this season.”
"After winning this victory, the San Francisco 49ers officially locked in the first place in the National League West in advance, because the rivals in the same district, the Seattle Seahawks, are now only seven wins and five losses, with the last four games left in the season. , the top spot has been officially locked in, the San Francisco 49ers have entered the playoffs for the second consecutive year, and are still a strong candidate for the NFC's top seed."
"For the San Francisco 49ers, after eight years of sluggishness, they have been ranked among the top of the league for two consecutive years and returned to the playoffs for two consecutive years. This is undoubtedly gratifying. The overall state of the current season is Look, they've become a Super Bowl contender."
"Congratulations, that's worthy of congratulations! But that doesn't mean things are settled!"
"Victory, this is not surprising. Strictly speaking, before this game, the San Francisco 49ers were still the favored team; but the way they won was a complete surprise. What is the specific reason? This is San Francisco It’s something the 49ers have to figure out over the next week.”
"As we enter December, the regular season is coming to an end. Now, all thirty-two teams are competing for playoff spots. The San Francisco 49ers' next four opponents are the Miami Dolphins and Arizona Reds. The NFL has already lost its playoff qualification, but both the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots are strong contenders for a playoff spot. This also means that the game will never be easy, even for the Dolphins and Cardinals. We will not surrender easily."
"The San Francisco 49ers have now shown obvious fatigue. If they cannot continue their form, then the matchup after the playoffs will be very, very difficult for this young team."
"The question now is, what happened to the San Francisco 49ers?"
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in this game against the St. Louis Rams, the San Francisco 49ers were really stumbling and stumbling, with their lives hanging by a thread and in danger several times; and it was not just the defensive team that experienced dramatic ups and downs. , the performance of the offensive team is really unsatisfactory.
Such a terrible performance, but still able to win the game in the end, did not rely on the absolute strength of the lead, but the luck of luck.
So, what happened to the San Francisco 49ers?
In fact, everyone within the team knew it, but even Willis, Akins, Brooks and Lu Ke were helpless.
They have been working hard, on the training ground, in the locker room, and back home, through face-to-face point-to-point communication over and over again, trying to resolve the awkward atmosphere within the team, but... everyone said "it's okay" , everyone said "I don't mind", everyone said "that is in the past", it seems that times have completely changed, but things are still tepidly staying in place.
So Lu Ke couldn't help but start to reflect. Instead of doing this, it would be better not to manage in the locker room, but to let all the players vent their anger and burst out. Wouldn't it be easier and faster to deal with it this way? Or is it possible that such a break-up may lead to conflicts that can never be repaired?
However, it may only be possible, and they have no way to know now.
Every day in a professional team is very fulfilling. Not to mention the training maniac Lu Ke, even the daily training of ordinary players is no exception. From field training to tactical meetings to gym training, all daily routines are packed to the brim. There seemed to be no right time to deal with the locker room issue, and then a week passed again.
On December 9, the San Francisco 49ers returned to their home court to face the Miami Dolphins.
After entering the 21st century, when it comes to the Miami Dolphins, with the strong rise of the New England Patriots, they seem to be the role of accompanying the prince in the American League East. They only reached the playoffs three times in 2000, 2001 and 2008. , but they were not able to go too far, and all the light was taken away by their mortal enemies in the same district.
But in fact, this is one of the teams with the deepest foundation in the history of the league.
Founded in 1965 and joining the league in 1966, the Miami Dolphins were also the first team after the NFL merger. They once created glory in the 1970s, becoming the first team to reach the Super Bowl for three consecutive years, and in 1972 Won two consecutive Super Bowl championships in 1973 and 1973.
They once had one of the greatest coaches in league history, Don-Shula. From 1970 to 1995, he coached the team for a full twenty-five years. Shula created countless league history here and has been Later, Bill Belichick slowly broke them one by one.
They once had one of the greatest quarterbacks in league history, Dan Marino. Although Marino was never able to win a Super Bowl ring, after he retired, he was undoubtedly elected to the Hall of Fame and is still a The most respected quarterback in the history of the Miami Dolphins - not even the two-time Super Bowl hero in franchise history can match him.
More importantly, in 1972, the Miami Dolphins became the only team in history to win all the regular seasons and win the Super Bowl. To this day, no team can replicate this miraculous feat.
Of course, there were only fourteen games in the regular season back then. Later, the league was restructured and the regular season became sixteen games. In more than thirty years, only the New England Patriots had accomplished the feat of winning a regular season in 2007; however, Everyone knows the ending of that year's Super Bowl. The Patriots, known as the "Space Battleships," failed to replicate the glory of the Miami Dolphins in 1972.
There is no doubt that the Miami Dolphins are still one of the most historic teams in the league. Their weapon to gain a foothold in the league is offense. Currently, the team has nine Hall of Fame players, eight of whom are all from the offensive team. They have a long and proud offensive tradition.
However, the entire NFL knows that excellent quarterbacks are hard to find, and dynasty quarterbacks are even rarer. Since Dan Marino chose to retire in 1999, the Miami Dolphins have been stuck in a long road to find a quarterback. Between the comings and goings, they have been ups and downs. Take a look at their record over the past thirteen years. Just know.
Marino was selected by the Miami Dolphins with the 27th overall pick in the first round that year. This also made the Dolphins firmly believe that they can always find a quarterback that suits them by using the appropriate draft position; in this year's draft, the Dolphins The team selected quarterback Ryan Tannehill with the eighth overall pick in the first round——
Thirty years after selecting Marino in 1983, the Miami Dolphins once again used their first-round pick to select a quarterback, which shows the team's expectations for Tannehill.
After the start of the season and before the start of the preseason, Tannehill was named the starting quarterback. His performance cannot be said to be disappointing, but he did not meet expectations.
Facing the Arizona Cardinals in the fourth week of the regular season, Tannehill broke the team's rookie quarterback single-game passing yard record set by Marino and was four points shy of the league rookie record set by Cam Newton last year. The Dolphins lost to the Cardinals in overtime with a touchdown and two interceptions.
In addition, Tannehill also broke the league record for quarterback single-run yards set by Pat White in 2009. The record at the time was thirty yards, and Tannehill completed Thirty-one yards, taking this record into the bag.
However, overall, Tannehill's interception data remains high. He has completed seven touchdowns so far, but has eight interceptions. Although there are two running touchdowns, all the data can be counted After that, it was still unsatisfactory. However, this is the price of development for a rookie quarterback.
